'The Simpsons'' iconic opening sequence has been the subject of all sorts of live remakes with Legos and even real people. Matt Groening's other great animation creation, 'Futurama,' has now received the same honor.
Every girl has imagined what her Barbie and Ken dolls would be like in real life. Photographer Dina Goldstein went a step further and brought her childhood fantasies to life.
Our friends over at radio station 93.1 KISS FM in El Paso, Texas recently came to shocking realization -- their engineer, Dave, might have been in the Walt Disney classic 'Beauty and the Beast.' And if not, then he's definitely the real-life incarnation of the animated movie character.
Some of us can't imagine there being a real-life version of Helga from 'Hey Arnold!' walking around in the world. Remember how her bossiness, crazy mood swings and constantly loud voice -- which is probably where the show got it's name ("Hey, Arnold!") -- drove us all to madness? Guess what? There's actually someone out in the world who's pretty much an exact replica of this cartoon character.
Think of everything that describes the cartoon cat Garfield. Fat. Orange. Loves pizza. Fat. Lazy. Funny... Fat. Now imagine that there's a cat in real life that embodies most of these qualities and what you get is Orazio, the fattest cat in Italy.
Chewbacca is the true man's best friend. In 'Star Wars,' he always had Han Solo's back, even when they were about to be shot in the head by a bunch of stormtroopers. He's the tough fur ball with a heart of gold, so it's only natural for someone to want to create their own real-life version, which is what happened to this dog.
We've come across too many real-life representations of cartoon characters to count, but this one may be the greatest ever. Prepare yourselves for a man who looks exactly -- and we mean exactly -- like Carl from Disney-Pixar's fantastic film 'Up. '
Has anyone ever told ESPN sportscaster John Clayton that he bears more than a passing resemblance to Stewie from 'Family Guy'?
At first, we didn't see much of a similarity. But upon closer inspection, we're starting to believe that Clayton may be Stewie's real-life counterpart. Not that we want to invite comparisons between a matricidal one-year-old and a respected reporter like Clayton, but, dang, they do look similar.
If you're looking for the real-life counterpart of the character Bruce from 'Family Guy,' you can't do better than actor Jon Gries, who's pictured here as Uncle Rico from the indie flick 'Napoleon Dynamite.' Eerily similar!
Since he walks, talks and is generally more rational than any other character on the show, it's easy to forget that Brian from 'Family Guy' is a family pet. But as this side-by-side comparison of Brian and a real-life pooch reminds us, he is, in fact, just a dog.
This living, breathing pooch has Brian's white fur and black nose, and although he doesn't completely mirror the character's look, we think he's a pretty close facsimile.
