15 Real Pictures That Resemble Popular Cartoons and Animated Characters Will Take You On a Trip Down Memory Lane

Cartoons and other animated media are a perfect way for both artists and viewers to explore their creative side, which is why we can find all sorts of colorful characters within them. However, the world we live in is actually not far behind this department, offering sights and scenes that seem to fit better in an animated world instead.

5-Minute Crafts has prepared a list containing 15 instances where scenes from the real world have transported viewers to their favorite cartoons and other similar media.

1. The shape of this sea sponge reminds us of our favorite fry cook in Bikini Bottom.

2. And this sunken moai statue looks like the perfect house for Squidward to move into.

3. If you spot Bert from Sesame Street while walking around, chances are Ernie is also nearby.

4. If you put a light blue collar on a Great Dane, you’ll have your very own Scooby-Doo. Ruh roh!

5. This cat is putting his method acting skills to good use as a way to improve his chances of being cast for future live-action Garfield adaptations.

6. Pinky, are you pondering what I’m pondering?

7. This picture is the living reflection of Santa’s Little Helper and Snowball II—The Simpsons’ loyal pets.

8. The greater roadrunner can run at a speed of up to 42 km/h, just shy of Usain Bolt’s top speed. The only thing that separates cartoon from reality seems to be the ability to utter “meep meep!”

9. This duo has the same dynamic as Marc Antony and Pussyfoot did.

10. The resemblance that Edna Mode from The Incredibles bears to real-world fashion icon Edith Head is uncanny. This is more impressive considering that the director has confirmed that there’s no actual connection between the 2.

11. A deliberate connection between real-world celebrities and an animated movie, however, can be found in The Jungle Book, where 4 vultures were designed to look like The Beatles. In reality, The Beatles were asked to voice them, but it didn’t end up happening.

12. You never know, the next Pixar movie could be taking place right now, in an aquarium near you.

13. “I tawt I taw a puddy tat!”
