This is quite interesting as Disney imagined them all as animated cartoons, so he has taken his own spin on them.
With Disneyland having real people dressed up as Disney characters (not ruining the magic of it haha) and not using cartoon statues or holograms, this is quite interesting in my research and prep for my project.
Most of them include some type of gesture, which is what I'm basing my project on. With this I can see some of the ways in which Väätäinen thinks are their main poses and gestures.
website - "real life" Disney characters project.
For Rapunzel, he has created her with her hair loose and not plaited like it is in most of the movie.
Her gesture is one hand on her hip, and one hand holding her hair. This is striking it's focusing on her hair which is 'really' long.
Cinderella has been created wearing her 'servant girl' clothing, compared to her ball gown that she has for the Royal Ball.
Her gesture is one arm bent across her waist, with her other elbow resting on it and that hand touching her neck. Almost as if she's thinking.
Snow White's gesture is her hands out to the side with her arms bent at the elbow, which is almost as if she's looking at something.
Tinkerbell is staring straight at the viewer with a smirk on her face, which is typical of her character as she is supposedly a 'cheeky' fairy
Flynn Ryder from the movie Tangled, is pictured here looking to the left side of the image, smirking with his right hand on his neck.
Prince Naveen (from The Princess And The Frog) is pictured here grinning into the right side of the image, with his gesture looking almost as if he is thinking.
Peter Pan is leaning on his left arm and looking out to the right of the image with his eyebrows raised, almost as if something's caught his attention
I can relate this to the photos for my project by the idea that they're all in 'human form' and they're gestures and expressions have been made to fit the character that they're each supposed to be. This is what I was aiming at capturing in my project at Disneyland Paris as they're 'real life, human sized' characters who have to portray the character that they're dressed as. This is through their body language, such as gestures, facial expressions, and poses; this is what Väätäinen has also done through his images.
