16 Realistic Versions Of Our Favorite Cartoon Characters Side By Side With Their Original Animated Selves
Honestly, we're glad that they aren't even a tad bit realistic in their original versions.
At some point in our lives, especially when we were kids, we wished to be in the world where our favorite cartoon characters live—because who wouldn't want to be in a place where everything just seems so fun and colorful? Back then, we let our imaginations run wild, pretending we were living in Bikini Bottom, playing as if we were friends with Phineas and Ferb, and going on adventures from our couches with Dora.
But our imaginations can only take us so far, and at the end of the day, we're faced with the reality that this world isn't nearly as interesting as the ones we see on TV. As kids, however, it didn't matter much anyway, and we were just glad to sit back, relax, and watch our favorite characters on screen doing their own thing.
It's a given that we can't really make our wild imaginations a reality, even as adults, so it wouldn't make sense for us to will our favorite cartoons into existence, right? But how would you feel if that could actually become a reality—except that it only comes in a series of manipulated photos?
Well, fret not, because if you're curious to know what some of our favorite cartoon characters from childhood would look like, you need look no further; you can just scroll down right here! Fair warning, though: some of them are not as pleasant as you might think they would be...

We honestly can't help but fawn over these edited photos, because how great would it be if they actually lived in this world? But for some of these, we're just glad they're not really real-life creatures, because it would be weird to have a platypus that looks like that (sorry, Perry)!
