It is clear that the artist didn’t assign Disney characters to celebrities based solely on their looks; she also considered their traits and qualities. According to the reactions, most people agree she did an excellent job.

"I've been in love with Disney since childhood," Helen told reporters. "Over the years, I've collected wonderful memories of Disney cartoons and characters. The amazing thing is that they continue to surprise me.

The artist stated that she started this series with Rachel McAdams: "I painted her as Cinderella. I really love this actress, and it always seemed to me that she would be very suitable for this role. After completing the portrait, I decided that I could create a series of drawings featuring different famous people as Disney characters and began to look for similarities. My followers liked the idea as well."

#2 Lena Headey is the Evil Queen from Snow White

"I started doing polls in my Instagram stories where people would choose between two famous individuals as candidates for a new Disney character. It's fun."

Even though this project involved a lot of work, she plans to continue it. "As I've said, I have many followers who really enjoy this series. I personally love transforming real-life stars into these iconic characters. It's like a little adventure every time."

"I'm glad that these drawings have attracted the attention of so many people, and I want to thank all those who supported me and my work. It's very motivating to realize that your work resonates with people."
