20 Actors Who Could Be Real Life Disney Characters

Bringing Prince Charming and Gaston to life...

Many Disney adaptations have already tried placing actors in the roles of live action counterparts, but they haven€™t always been on the money. Angelina Jolie did a remarkable job stepping into Maleficent€™s cloak, but Julia Roberts as Mirror Mirror€™s Queen or Helena Bonham-Carter as Cinderella€™s Fairy Godmother? Not so much.

It seems that Disney€™s Maleficent has triggered production on an influx of live action Disney classics that will soon be seen on the silver screen. Given that 2014€™s Sleeping Beauty adaptation has set the bar rather high for those yet to come, it has never been more important to get the casting spot on.

Into The Woods chose Anna Kendrick to play Cinderella, whereas Kenneth Branagh€™s upcoming feature thinks Lily James a better fit for the princess. But perhaps the young and vibrant Jennifer Lawrence deserves the glass slipper?

Selected here is a handful of the most popular Disney characters in a bid to discover the actors who can convincingly bring them to life (without spending hours in the make-up chair, that is). It€™s always fun to indulge in a little fantasy casting, and who knows, if we make enough noise, some of these might just come into fruition.

So, without further ado, here are 20 actors who could play Disney characters on the silver screen.
