World of Animation

It started with Malan.  I had a bit of deja vu when I saw him but I couldn't place his face.  Something about his essence, his prissy brand of evil, hit home.

Then I realized it: he's totally Scar from The Lion King.

That really got the ball rolling and I have come up with an incomplete listing of Project Runway 3 designers and the cartoon characters they most resemble.

Begin the list after the jump.

Allison/drummer from Josie and the Pussycats

I guess all you really had to do for this one is find some blonde cartoon character, but this is a pretty good match, right?  Same button nose, same full lashes?  They're totally twins. 

Angela/Teela from He-Man 

I can only hope that Angela makes Teela's outfit into a garment.  

Bradley/Shaggy 

This was, by far, the easiest match to be made.  Same hair color (about), same scragglyness, same heroin daze.

Keith/Link (from Legend of Zelda cartoon) 

If these were real people, I'd be likening Keith to Jude Law.  But we're not talking about famous people.  This might be a bit of a stretch, but they both have slight figures and whispy 'dos.  Work with me.

Laura/Natasha (from Rocky and Bullwinkle) 

I've had this in mind all along, just because both Laura and Natasha seem fairly masculine, if not for some overtly feminized features.  Needless to say, if I were ever on a co-ed, half-cartoon flag football team, I'd pick these ladies any day of the week. 

Vincent/Bunsen (from the Muppet Babies) 

I feel like I'd have more options with Vincent if we could work with puppets.  He does kind of have a felt-like appearance.  But I have the next best thing with the animated version of Bunsen. 

Anybody else have any suggestions?  Substitutions?
