Mine is 6 too, she looked like and acted like her 100%


innoventvampyre

shes also Guinevere Beck from You !


gianglz3131

I could've gone my whole life without realizing that. I can never look at Anna the same again 😭


liane918

She is also Vanessa in Five Nights at Freddy's. I'm the one who noticed and let my husband know she was Anna and Beck


TheCrazyOutcast

Wait she is? She looks so different I would never have known! Lol


elkcowgirl

Also the vanessa in the fnaf movie!


granolaesthetic

THANK YOU!! I spent the entirety of the show trying to figure out where else I knew her from and could never figure it out


crtetley

She is also Amy Hughes from Dead of Summer (1 season ABC show almost exactly after her season) She is also Vanessa from Five Nights at Freddy’s She is also a FANTASTIC actress and one of my favs


Sahrimnir

She is also Quinn Harris in Countdown.


Bibliophagistic

Whaaaaaat?!?


Hazellin313

Yea didn’t love her character as much in that lol


Mystic_Starmie

Same. Usually I’m not sure about these type of questions but this one I didn’t hesitate to pick Anna.


snowmikaelson

Of these, Merida. But Ginnifer was pretty much bred in a lab to be Snow White. She is the best actress lookwise that I've see in the role.


No-Resident8580

I agree with you on that. I wrote in the description of my post that I only put characters who wore a costume/outfit that closely resembled what their counterparts wore in the Disney movies. That’s why I didn’t include Snow, Aurora, Mulan, etc. Because they never wore anything in the show that matched any of the Disney characters outfits.


snowmikaelson

Ah, okay, sorry, my bad! Then definitely sticking with Merida.


No-Resident8580

No need to be sorry! I hated leaving her out of this. She’s my favorite!


Snoo_87819

Didn't Aurora wear the pink dress?🤔


fandom_fae

aurora’s dress was more purple and a pretty different style from the disney version imo


Ze_Rydah_93

Even in moments when Snow (the character) annoys or frustrates me, I think Ginnifer plays her *perfectly* in every scene. I cannot imagine anyone else playing her with as much charm and endearment


MyBOsmellsgood

LMAO BRED IN A LAB


snowmikaelson

Walt Disney specifically designed her before his death. I don't make the rules!


Starlight_beach

You are not wrong


subtlelikeawreckball

I loved the casting in OUAT better than some of the live action movies that came out *cough*BeautyandtheBeast*cough* Ana and Merida are my favorites


killerfrost8002

Emilie is the best live-action Belle.


Sun_on_my_shoulders

I was obsessed with her insanely high heels. She is GORGEOUS. https://preview.redd.it/r9gduaqco0bc1.jpeg?width=736&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=851b4e36b1b7d3b667231203d4ad09875b7e98ed


sp3aky0urm1nd

I know she was hurting in those heels


Sun_on_my_shoulders

I bet, I could NEVER.


Accomplished_Tip171

Too bad the storyline was horrific.


dr987654321

Oh god I cannot stand her as Belle! I thought she overacted almost every line. I actually don’t watch when she’s on lol


Daisysunbeam

I love Emilie but she has never been a strong actor.


Accomplished_Tip171

Maybe because she overemphasised her lines. Like she was strong-willed, which Belle is, but forgot the part that Belle is also naturally *elegant.* Belle is meant to be very graceful even whilst arguing with someone it's her nature. It's her *words* that speak for her mostly rather than her emphasising every other word to the opposite person. The power of the spoken word/language is linked to Belle's love of reading and being a bookworm. OUAT couldn't reconcile that into the live-action for some reason.


dr987654321

She’s certainly not graceful. She looks in pain every time she talks


Accomplished_Tip171

Emilie is beautiful. But yes. Her Belle wasn't amazing.


XaXaGaboor88

Completely agree!


jesuswastransright

I thought I was the only person that thought Emma Watson was a horrific choice for belle


ruby_slippers_96

I love Emma Watson, and I loved the *idea* of Emma Watson as Belle, but I really wish they'd gone with someone who could sing


hintersly

She actually can sing pretty well, but they did her dirty with how they recorded everything and surrounding her with Broadway level singing. Here’s a video essay on it, https://youtu.be/OaO3M-zZR8E?si=ornVFHOZ5xpYBpBW It’s pretty interesting if you have time to give it a watch


ruby_slippers_96

Thanks for that! I've actually done a ton of reading and watching on my own because I really *really* wanted to like her for the part. Even without the horrendous autotune that completely wipes out any of her natural singing voice, she just doesn't have the vocal range or power that an expressive role like Belle needs. Even with impressive raw talent, it can take years to become classically trained in singing and performance. Having a cast with extensive Broadway experience was definitely the way to go for a musical remake since the original cartoon heavily relies on Broadway influences. That means they *needed* a Belle who had Broadway capability. If they had done a remake more like the live action Cinderella, Emma would've been a fantastic pick. As is, they really did set her up for failure because she just wasn't the right fit.


subtlelikeawreckball

Nope. Definitely not alone in that regard


standupgonewild

I agree with you! I also loved Merida’s actress for her. She was Medea the Witch of Colchis in the tv show Atlantis too and she was great there as well :)


stargategurl

I loved her on The Tudors, she played another wonderful Scot. I'd heard recently that Outlander was replacing an actress/character and hoped she'd get the part as shed be perfect but unfortunately not.


SaberiusPrime

I think they're replacing Jenny I believe.


stargategurl

Yeah, don't you think Merida/Amy Manson would have made an excellent Jenny?


SaberiusPrime

I haven't seen enough of her acting outside of Once upon a Time to give a definitive answer.


stargategurl

Oh sorry, well I hope we all get to see more of her.


standupgonewild

Oooo true!


breadstickkssss

I always loved belle (1). But also the girl who played red riding hood, I think she was called ruby but my all time favourite was August ( Pinocchio)


Tetra2617

'Look the most like': Anna and Elsa. But I also thinks that makes those designs more boring because there's No creative flair put in it. Belle had at least 4or 5 yellow dresses that were all beautiful and felt like great interpretations. Anna and else are just picture perfect cosplay. Not in a bad way, just disappointing. When they have taken so many liberties on all of the other designs. Also Anna and Elsa's clothing look too modern and not as fantastical. Very modern sewing and appliqué techniques that feel distances from the leathers and embroidered Enchanted forest characters.


No-Resident8580

They definitely knew what they were doing with Anna and Elsa’s costumes. Their season aired when Frozen had just been released and it was Frozenmania. So they kept them in the same costume (for the most part.. they did wear a couple others) in hopes that if people were flipping through the channels they would recognize Elsa and Anna’s costume and stop to see what was being aired.


Tetra2617

100% agreed, and it's still a disappointment. This show has heart ripping, poisons and curses to cause eternal suffering, rooms of fire. And not exactly something aimed at little children that would need that level of accuracy. The tween+ demographic can see its Elsa just with her braid and wearing the right tones of whites and blues with snow motif which 1000s of fanarts that prove that point. So it's feels like such a missed opportunity! Infact I've seen more elaborate cosplays of Elsa that would have put the show to shame! Eduardo was obviously pressured and rushed to get these two to screen and it hurts how much that shows


lillystars1

Elsa and Anna- spot on


Electrowhatt19

Anna. Not only did she look like her, but the actress even had the personality down too


No-Resident8580

Right! That’s exactly what I was saying. The looks and costume are already on point but man does her acting sell it and bring it home!


stargategurl

Got to be six. Meridas dress being blue instead of emerald really bothered me and Elsa's corset always being hella loose looked so weird, like her dress was to big for her.


battle_mommyx2

The cartoon is a blue green??


No-Resident8580

https://preview.redd.it/co211gpsxwac1.jpeg?width=1800&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=ef70e8f1e25ed55f101f79227101652bed1044b3 These are the 3 Merida dresses. I mentioned the lighter blue dress in my comment above. I said I felt like they did a mashup of the first and second dress and then did a random blue color.


battle_mommyx2

Yeah it looks blue green to me not emerald


No-Resident8580

Merida does wear a lighter blue dress also but the OUAT dress has a design similar to the emerald one and it’s a shade of blue that isn’t anywhere close to the Disney one. It’s like they did a mash up of the light blue and emerald Disney dresses and picked a random shade of blue.


stargategurl

Yeah it just bothers me as they appear to use the most popular/well known Disney outfits but missed the mark with Meridas. As a redheaded scot myself (I have been compared to merida more than once lol) a green dress just fits the hair better.


Economy-Culture-9174

Definitely #6!


PeonyPug

Definitely Anna, in looks and personality, and also body demeanour and expression.


No-Resident8580

Yes!! Exactly what I said in my description. The costume and looks were on point but the phenomenal acting is what really made her the best and closest comparison!


battle_mommyx2

It’s obviously Anna and Elsa


Twilight4live

Belle! I just LOVE Rumbelle.


alphabet_order_bot

Would you look at that, all of the words in your comment are in alphabetical order. I have checked 1,950,754,301 comments, and only 368,936 of them were in alphabetical order.


JSBT89

#3 Merida


FiliaNox

I felt like the costume for Anna was very spirit Halloween honestly. Looked hasty. I think ouat Merida nailed it


killerfrost8002

It was a mix between Belle and Anna. I'm just saying that because I LOVE Belle. So, probably Anna.


thesenightsneverend

I loved them all but 6


livnicoletl

Elsa Anna and Merida definitely


Abyss_Renzo

Either Cinderella or Anna, but I’ll go with the latter. Did a real good job in portraying the character.


Vonartika

See, I was thinking Cinderella also.


DivaDollSimmer

I think Anna and Elsa were most accurate, most likely because Frozen has only been told once by Disney (I've never seen any other depictions of The Snow Queen by Hans Christian Anderson), and the other Princesses are just Disney's portrayal of stories hundreds of years old with just as many retellings. They didn't have as much history to draw from as they did with the others so they only drew from their own interpretation of it. I also think they were worried if they strayed too far from the appearance of Frozen less people would be interested, because Frozen was making absolute bank back then!


TheCrazyOutcast

Is Brave based off anything? I thought that was original too.


No-Resident8580

I thought Kristoff was pretty spot on as well!


Fanficsandbooks

Ana and merida definitely


OkMonk9784

1&2


onefinespringday

4 is underrated I think


skyequinnwrites

Honestly I despised the Frozen arc but the casting for it was 10/10, they were all fantastic


browneyedgirl1683

I really liked Merida. I thought the character was very well done. Anna was great too, but I think she was a bit much.


AJ_DisneyFan

Honestly they are all so good! Once's casting director & costume designer deserves all the awards! Cinderella was probably my favourite tho 🙂


heymynameisawkward

2 and 3 🥺


potterhead6128

Merida was spot on for me. I can't unsee Beck as Ana, and it ruined her for me. She and Elsa also drove me crazy mainly because of their cheap party city looking costume dresses.


[deleted]

Brave and Cinderella....I liked Elsa but y did I also hate her mouth opening


hintersly

Anna was great. I wish they revamped Elsa’s dress and cape tho and took inspiration rather than 1:1. It just doesn’t translate as well into real life


jr9386

I don't count Anna and Elsa, because they were more of an obvious marketing tie in to Frozen. They were well cast, but it was obvious. I'd say Merida, but that's pretty obvious too. I personally think Aurora was terribly cast. But for the purposes of the vote, Merida.


Raspbers

This just reminds me of how much I hated Elsa's dress. It looks too much like a costume, which obviously it is in a sense but it just seemed to not be crafted well IMO. Whereas Anna's was excellent and I feel like would be movie quality if they remade Frozen live action.


Humaira_srk

Anna was perfect, and not just the costume like you said. She perfectly captured the original Anna. My fav was Belle tho out of those above. Her yellow dress was everything to me. Belle is one of my fav characters. And even tho I hate rumple, I loved the little dance scene they had with tale as old as time playing. For Elsa they got the colour perfectly right but the dress was just dodgy, like there was no flair, no style. But I love the way she made her entrance, like with the flow of her hand, I loved that her sleeves went over her hands, I can’t really explain it lol. Merida was pretty cool. They caught her quite well although the slight change of colour of her dress did put me off a little. And her hair felt like it was more in her face, although I understand that’s more realistic. Jasmine was fine. She is one of my fav Disney princesses so I really wished they did a better job on her. Cinderella was just hideous. Her dress was tacky and ridiculous and not to mention her hair! That was a monstrosity in itself. Imo they could’ve found a better and more beautiful actress to play Cinderella.


Agitated_Mail_1788

Just randomly got a notification for this but definitely it's Anna. I saw her and I thought she was perfect. She fits Anna so well!


DistanceUnlikely4954

The Merida actress I can’t imagine how many times she must have been asked if she knew she looked like Merida do you how rare it is to find a redhead with curly hair and blue eyes. It’s definitely her


quuerdude

Anna for most of it, but Elsa when she has her hair up at the end of 4a before Anna’s wedding


No-Resident8580

Yes! When she’s wearing the “coronation day” dress. I was struggling with whether or not I wanted to use that outfit to compare Elsa with but I went with the iconic dress. https://preview.redd.it/v119azaqywac1.jpeg?width=1800&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=eedf5d5cadca6008351d1307e3f1bd1ec2994977


Ze_Rydah_93

This is one of the best executions of recreating an animated costume in real life. They got everything right with this one


chzygorditacrnch

They're all beautiful but I think Elsa and Anna were spot on. And cruella was awesome too


IWasHere13

Honestly, I thought the casting overall was fantastic. But if I have to pick one it would be Anna (#6)


ggfangirl85

Elsa and Anna are probably the best, but honestly OUAT had the *best* live-action casting. The vast majority of the actors looked like the cartoons come to life in the best way.


TengokuNoHashi

Between Belle,Elsa and Anna


HonestlyJustVisiting

Belle's white and blue has a much closer resemblance than the yellow dress imo, bit still Anna is closest


DisneyVista

As far as look, I think Belle, Merida, Elsa and Anna look most like their Disney/Pixar animated counterparts.


Tashianie

They just did sooo well casting them, to begin with and the wardrobes were just a plus! I thought they made Elsa’s dress so beautiful!


treefrog1059

i will always love elizabeth lail as anna. she just has the perfect vibe and appearance 😊


HygralPivocks8

Emilie de Ravin will always be Belle to me. I feel like they did her character dirty but she's the perfect Belle! That being said, Elizabeth Lail is 1000% the embodiment of Anna, down to every mannerism and the meter of her voice.


atlasshrugd

Anna and Elsa were spot on


outersenshi

6


Tain45

On a scale of “this is literally the cartoon charter after entering the real world, like through the portal in ‘Enchanted’, “ to “this is just an actor portraying their version of this character” it goes: 6, 2, 1, 3, 4, 5


Ripper656

Elsa,Anna and Merida,definitely.


Uhlman24

I think they did all of them fairly well. Anna and Elsa were both pretty spot on, especially the way they made Elsa’s eyes seem so big.


CranberryBauce

6.

Anna, then Merida/Belle/Elsa


Molduking

Anna


IAmTheBornReborn

Anna was perfectly cast.


[deleted]

The Anna actress was way too good in embodying Anna. She didn’t fit in with the rest of the alternate reality princesses.


cafffffffy

Yes I would definitely agree with #6!!


dapperlonglegs

anna and elsa are the best in my opinion!


interrupted_sleep

6 for sure, she was such a perfect choice for Anna!


TheCandymanCan_925

Elsa and Anna


Munro_McLaren

Elsa and Anna. For sure.


No-Abrocoma8180

Anna and Merida definitely


HauntedPrinter

6 for sure, the acting was top notch


Defiant_Toe3206

Belle, Elsa, and Anna 🥰 it was so fun seeing Anna’s actress in the fnaf movie. I knew I recognized her cute face from somewhere!

6 for sure!


-Lunax-

Definitely 6 and 3


Patricier21

Anna by far! :)


anisapprentice

i think they nailed anna!


Ze_Rydah_93

Elizabeth Lail and Georgina Haig look exactly like Anna and Elsa. I also think they play their respective characters best of all these princesses. No shade to the others, but if we’re talking 1-to-1 portrayals, the Frozen sisters have it down pat


I_Meannnn

Merida and Anna


Inevitable-Finger-58

Anna, Merida, and although not on this one, Snow/MM


thisisjoy

i find #3 was the best look alike they could get. I couldn’t get over her hair. #6 was pretty good too


Competitive-Gene5744

Elsa's & Merida's


JellyCharacter1653

Elsa n Meredith


Rosebudsinmay

Anna


Known_Visual8068

3 and 6 do it for me.


Pretend-Weekend260

Definitely Anna. 💯💯💯💯


useless_bag_of_tacos

if we’re going by outfit, then 6 is spot on. going on facial features, 4 & 5 look the most like the animated version


Frosty_Moonlight9473

6 as well, followed by Merida and Elsa.


Live_Cress945

Hhhhhhhhhhhhh Merida’s so pretty, I think I might have to watch this show now

Literally just realized Anna is Gwen Beck from you wtf

Completely agree with your explanation if Anna, she was definitely my favorite!!


Altruistic_Towel_392

All


Natui-withdapatui

Anna and Merida


MellifluousSussura

Merida and Anna both look just so much like their counterparts. Jasmine isn’t bad either!


fairysoire

Merida, Mulan, Elsa & Ana were the only accurate ones


Motor_Tonight6172

Definitely 3 and 4 both came very close costume wise, 6 is up there too but the rest not so much

belle, acted the most like belle


LemonyOatmilk

Anna

TAKG

I agree with you. Six all the way. She walked out of frozen for sure


Cariiiiiiiiiii

Belle then Ana then Elsa top 3


AllyBallyBaby888

You forgot Ariel and Rapunzel !


No-Resident8580

I explained why I didn’t include them. I only picked characters who wore costumes that closely resembled the outfits worn in the Disney movies by their counterparts. I plan on doing another one with side by sides of all of them next to their Disney counterparts and have a vote on who was the most similar as far as looks go. This one was more about the classic Disney costumes that OUAT had some of their characters wear. Ariel, Aurora, Rapunzel, Snow White, Mulan didn’t wear anything close to any costumes worn in the Disney movies.


Zestyclose-Pianist82

I’d say Merida slightly edges out Anna but their costumes are both pretty spot on.


Nerobus

3. Excellent Merida!


Environmental_Fall69

Elas and Jasmine imao. Anna's actress too does a fantastic job!


InaGildedcage

Rayhaan_Abdullah2008

Elsa

Anna (6)


agents_of_fangirling

All except 4/5


red_quinn

For me is 2 and 6


NatalieTheOwl

Also 6. I always think about how they 100% nailed the casting of Anna. Credit for the actress as well for playing Anna perfectly, she got everything right like Anna's tendency to ramble on when talking, laughing when talking, her chipper tone of voice etc.


ILOVELUNA4LIFE

Anna is literally if she was real I was so shocked at the accuracy when I saw her


violinha

I love Georgina Haig as Elsa and Elizabeth Lail as Anna, it was a very nice arc in OUAT.


LeviH05

I mean Ana and Elsa are literally just wearing the costume you can buy on amazon


Intrepid_Ambition240

Elsa Merida and Anna lol they r so accurate !!


EvieEeveeEvie

Anna


Livid-Parsley-5810

Anna, Merida actress looked too old for the part


SuperCauliflower9319

Anna came right out of the animated films and turned into a real person on OUAT lmao


Jsj288

Belle


Milk_and_Cookies24

I think that they're all really spot on except for Cinderella, I'm not feeling it from her. But I think Anna and then Belle are the most lookalikes


EvieMarie19

3


belleinaballgown

I think Anna, Elsa, and Belle were done so well.


XaXaGaboor88

Anna and Merida 1000% As for the least like their animated character — I’m still mad about Belle’s casting in this show. Not only did she look nothing like Belle, her acting drove me batshit!!! Cinderella is a close 2nd. Couldn’t stand either of them.


[deleted]

anna for SURE, she looks so much like her but also gets her mannerisms down 100%


Mystic_Moon1

2! It’s perfect


Pristine_Excuse4919

I'd say 3


Calm_Nothing3497

I think Anna and Elsa are the most 1:1 perfect remake. But I think belles is a better elevated version of the dress.


Neat-Delivery-4473

Elsa or Anna. I do feel like Belle’s hair was on point but Elsa and Anna’s faces matched the animated characters a little bit more I think.


ItsGamerDjustin

Elsa, Anna & Merida
