This year, Disney proved with the movie "The Lion King" that they can turn one of the best-known animated musical/drama classics into an incredibly astonishing photorealistic computer-animated remake which would keep movie theaters full all over the world. "The Lion King" is not the first (and hopefully, not the last) remake that Disney recently released. Disney has already recreated "Dumbo" and "Aladdin" in 2019, and we're also expecting to see "Maleficent" and "Lady and the Tramp" soon.
Chilean illustrator Fernanda Suarez also decided to recreate some famous Disney characters with the "Modern Princesses" project but this time with some characters from famous video games. Fernanda shows how famous characters would look if their movies would be released today. Each of them has their own unique features which are easily distinguished but at the same time, you can see a modern twist that the artist perfected. All characters are unique and charming reflecting on young and modern women, so the question is which one would you choose for a new live-action movie?
#1 Ursula
The vicious Ursula is the main antagonist of the 1989 Disney movie "The Little Mermaid". Considered as one of the most popular Disney villains, she'll soon be seen in cinemas all over the world.

#5 Wendy Darling
Wendy Darling is the deuteragonist of the 1953 Walt Disney movie "Peter Pan" based on J. M. Barrie's original novel. It might be new for some of us that the name Wendy was very uncommon in the English-speaking world before "Peter Pan". It is thought that Barrie took this name from a phrase used by his friend's daughter Margaret Henley whom he befriended. She called him "friendly-wendy", which she pronounced as "fwendy-wendy". Unfortunately, Margaret Henley died at the age of five and was buried with her family.
