A new filter is taking over Snapchat, Instagram, and TikTok, and it’s doing what all great filters do—stirring up feelings. The “Your Disney Twin” effect promises to reveal your cartoon counterpart by stitching your face together with a random Disney character.

The results are all over the place: some shockingly accurate, others laughably off. But no matter the match, one thing’s certain—people are absolutely losing it.


"It gave me Jafar. I’m still recovering."

The surprise factor is half the fun

Unlike filters that sculpt your jawline or smooth your skin, this one leans fully into chaos. You might be hoping for Belle or Simba, only to get Scar or Yzma instead. There’s no rhyme or reason to it, and that unpredictability is what’s fueling the laughter.

"It’s like spinning the Disney wheel of destiny."

How to try it yourself

Ready to meet your animated doppelgänger? Here's how to find the filter:

Snapchat

  1. Open Snapchat and head to the camera screen.
  2. Tap the smiley face to open Lens Explorer.
  3. Search for “Your Disney Twin.”
  4. Activate the filter and brace yourself.

Instagram

  1. Open the Stories camera and swipe to the effects browser.
  2. Use the magnifying glass to search for “Your Disney Twin.”
  3. Select and tap “Try It.”

TikTok

While TikTok doesn’t host the filter directly, most users record on Snapchat or Instagram and upload their reactions to TikTok using the tag #DisneyTwin.

The reactions are the real entertainment

Some of the best moments come from users sharing their shock, horror, or surprising pride in the character they get.

@itsmecharlieeee got Hades and said, “Guess I’m feeling villainous today.”
@lilylaughsalot landed Goofy and just muttered, “Can’t argue with that.”
@sarahsmiles was gifted Yzma and replied, “Honestly? I feel attacked, but also… she’s kind of fabulous.”
@johndoughnut ended up with Quasimodo: “Guess I’m ringing the bells today!”

"I feel attacked... but also fabulous."

What makes it go viral

Disney nostalgia is powerful—but so is a good self-own. This filter delivers both in one swipe. Whether you’re a villain, a sidekick, or an unexpected leading lady, the surprise is part of the magic.

Join the fun (or the roast)

Think you're destined to be Ariel or Eric? Don’t be so sure. Try the filter for yourself and see who you *really* are in the Disney universe.

Try the filter, save your video, and share it with the tag #DisneyTwin. Brave enough? Then you’re ready.

Behind the glamour, vintage Hollywood stars were hilariously human

Hollywood’s Golden Age often feels untouchable—a world of glamour, poise, and polished perfection. But a recent viral TikTok video featuring rare bloopers from classic Hollywood films offers a much-needed reminder that even the most iconic stars of yesteryearwere, at their core, only human. The video, shared by @vintagehistory, has racked up millions of views, delighting social media users with moments of Hollywood legends breaking character and dropping their carefully crafted personas in ways that feel hilariously relatable.

Jimmy Stewart, a bit of swearing, and delightful chaos

One standout moment in the video features Jimmy Stewart, Hollywood’s quintessential everyman, seen botching a scene after misunderstanding camera directions. The result? An endearingly confused Stewart fumbling through his marks with his signature charm. "Oh, you're following me? I didn't know that!" he quips as the crew laughs. And, of course, like many of his fellow stars, his polished “Transatlantic” accent disappears the moment the scene falls apart, revealing his more natural speaking voice.

"He should have my pizza instead of going through that bin."

Teacher’s viral fake baby assignment sparked total student panic

Students at Chippewa Secondary School in North Bay, Ontario, Canada, are learning the trials of parenthood with fake babies. If you didn't do this kind of thing at your school, it's basically an attempt to terrify teenagers into never having a child.

As you can imagine, it's not going very well. Teacher Andrea Lefebvre took to Facebook to share some of the hilarious texts she'd received from students about the babies, ranging from teenagers asking if they can stash their baby in their bag, or if they can turn it off.
