This chaotic Disney filter is making people question everything about themselves

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.

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.

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.

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."
