Show Your Disney Side is a fun app that turns fans into their favorite pop culture characters from Star Wars, Frozen and other more. Capitalizing on the popularity of selfies, all it requires is a photo, which it will then turn into the desired character. Although this might seem like something that already exists, the app is much more sophisticated.
Created by app developer TYFFON, the Show Your Disney Side app takes into account the position of your eyes and mouth to properly merge the two images for an image that looks as realistic as possible. Digital Trends writes, "You can put on different costumes, and even animate it (eyes blink, you can move the head around by dragging your finger on the screen, and activate background animation when you pinch it)."
