Isa Bredt, a 23-year-old illustrator from the Netherlands, is a miracle worker.
Disney magic has a way of making even the most ordinary faces feel larger than life, and that is exactly what makes this pet portrait project so easy to love.
Isa Bredt, a 23-year-old illustrator from the Netherlands, turns photos of people’s pets into colorful Disney-style artwork through her Instagram account, Pet Disneyfication. The result is a mix of nostalgia, charm, and a little bit of movie-worthy drama, especially when the animals are older, rescued, or no longer here.

Her work is admired by many: “People are so sweet! Especially if I’ve made a portrait of a pet that has unfortunately passed away, people send me the kindest messages, saying that the drawing brought tears to their eyes. Or that it helped them heal because pictures of their pet made them cry, but the portrait made them smile.”

Isa started drawing at a very young age and shared her first work on Reddit when she was 16. After that, the project grew really quickly. “Looking at all the pictures, finding things that make an animal special, and then making the initial sketch. I love analyzing what features are unique to the pet that I’m drawing.”

Isa often draws animals from shelters. It is her way of helping them get adopted.
“I think it was while I was browsing a shelter site (the site where I adopted my cats from), and I wished I could help the animals that had been in the shelter the longest, somehow,” she says.
“But it is also possible that one of my followers recommended it one time, and I’m just taking unjust credit, haha! Either way, I wanted to do something to help.”
Heartbreaking pet choice turned into a debate, see the AITAH story about rehoming a puppy because a partner’s allergies got severe.
