Aeneas with an earring and Captain Vrungel, tall and slender: this is how AI imagines the characters from Ukrainian cartoons and fairy tales in real life.
Have you ever wondered how famous cartoon characters might appear if they came to life? Thanks to modern artificial intelligence technologies, we can not only shoot with a gun but also envision how animated and fairy-tale Ukrainian characters would look as real people.
With contemporary technology, we can see characters from our childhood in a completely new light. "Telegraph" has utilized AI to showcase how well-known figures from Ukrainian cartoons and fairy tales might look in real life.
Mavka from "Forest Song"
In the dramatic fairy tale "Forest Song" by Lesya Ukrainka, Mavka embodies the ideal of humanity, purity, and spiritual balance. In the 2023 film, the character has green hair and a big heart. AI depicted her as an incredibly beautiful young woman with long green hair adorned with a floral wreath. She appears kind yet mysterious.
5 Petryk Pyatochkin from "How Petryk Pyatochkin Counted Elephants"
In real life, Petya would be a funny boy with red hair, large eyes, and a mischievous expression. He looks like someone who is always ready for adventures and mischief, just like the hero of the Soviet cartoon.
6 Doctor Livesey from "Treasure Island"
AI created the image of a charismatic doctor with a wise and insightful gaze. His neat hairstyle and determined expression indicate a person ready to help in any situation, just as Livesey was in the cartoon. Let’s remember that he was the one who devised the plan to defeat the mutineers.
7 Nikita Kozhemyaka
In Alexander Oles's work, Nikita Kozhemyaka is a strong, resolute young man endowed with superhuman traits. AI envisioned the hero as a blue-eyed young man with light hair and a confident demeanor.
8 Captain Vrungel from "The Adventures of Captain Vrungel"
The main character of the story by Soviet writer Andrei Sergeyevich Nekrasov is a stout man known for his inventiveness and wisdom. AI portrayed the character as slim and self-assured (judging by his gaze).
9 Cossacks
The AI depicted the Cossacks as smiling young men. Their traditional mustaches and trousers add authenticity.
0 Aeneas from "Aeneid"
The "motor guy," created by Ivan Kotlyarevsky and adapted by director Vladimir Dakhno, was envisioned by AI as a handsome young man with a large earring in his ear, noble features, and a serious expression.
