28. Princess Jasmine From Aladdin

We are sure the artist spent many extra hours to perfect the portrait of Princess Jasmine.

Rapunzel, the beautiful princess of Corona is kind, energetic, curious, and loving.

Jirka Vinse Jonatan Väätäinen – Thankfully, the artist was able to show most of her qualities through this portrait.

35. Aladdin From Aladdin

The Evil Queen (aka the Wicked Queen) tried to remain the fairest one of all and that’s why she becomes determined to poison Snow White.

Remember Prince Naveen’s introduction when he says “I am Prince Naveen” and he gets smashed by a book. Hilarious stuff!

44. Ursula’s Alter Ego Vanessa From The Little Mermaid

No wonder how the alter ego of Ursula was able to brainwash Prince Eric into loving her instead of Ariel.

Jirka Vinse Jonatan Väätäinen – With a thin, attractive, and young look, the artist was spot on with Ursula’s alter ego here.

45. Maleficent From The Sleeping Beauty

Here is the evil fairy that uses the evil magic in revenge for not being invited to the christening of Princess Aurora.

Jirka Vinse Jonatan Väätäinen – This is a perfect portrait of Rapunzel’s former foster mother-turned-enemy.

47. Megara From Hercules

As Megra (aka Meg) served as a minion of Hades, she was able to free herself because there was still some innocence in her.

Jirka Vinse Jonatan Väätäinen – We loved how the artist made sure we could see the evilness of this man.

49. Gaston From Beauty And The Beast

No matter how much we hate Gaston, a part of us would feel somewhat sad for him (or maybe it’s just us).

Jirka Vinse Jonatan VäätäinenWell, this portrait shows the greedy, arrogant hunter who was obsessed with marrying Belle.

50. Prince Hans From Frozen

The power-hungry Prince Hans of the Southern Isles is not a beloved character.

Jirka Vinse Jonatan Väätäinen However, this work by the Finnish artist is making us reconsider it. He looks quite hot here.

51. Captain Phoebus From The Hunchback Of Notre Dame
