Generative AI, such as ChatGPT, has become a powerful ally for creativity. It allows you to generate texts, images, voices and even virtual personalities based on simple commands.
This means that you can not only imagine yourself as a Disney character, but also see, hear and interpret this version of yourself, all with the help of technology.

Additionally, this process can be a form of self-discovery. Many Disney characters carry profound lessons about courage, friendship, empathy, leadership, and self-love. By immersing yourself in a character’s universe, you may find traits that you want to cultivate in yourself — and AI can be your guide on that journey.
Step 1: Choose the character that represents you
Before you create anything, it’s important to figure out which Disney character you most identify with. This will help you personalize the experience in a meaningful way.

Suggested prompt:
“Based on the following personality traits: [describe your qualities and interests], which Disney character best matches me? Explain why.”
This type of prompt allows ChatGPT to analyze your personality and relate it to iconic characters. You can even ask for a list of Top 3 characters most similar to you.
Step 2: Study of the character's personality
Once you’ve chosen your character, delve into their essence. This goes beyond knowing their story: it’s about understanding their values, their fears, their dreams, and how they react to challenges.
Suggested prompt:
“What are [character’s name]’s main personality traits? What values does he/she represent? How does he/she overcome challenges throughout the story?”
Understanding this will help you interpret the character more authentically — or even adapt these qualities to your daily life.
Step 3: Creating a Custom Story
Now that you know who your character is and what makes them special, it’s time to create your own narrative. You can set your story in the real world, in a fantasy universe, or even a mix of the two.
Suggested prompt:
“Write a story where I am a modern version of [character name]. I want the story to take place in [description of location, e.g. a big city, a magical kingdom, a school of magic, etc.], and to explore themes of [e.g. courage, self-discovery, friendship, etc.].”
The AI can generate short stories or even full sagas — you decide how deep you want it to be. And best of all, you can tweak it as many times as you want until it’s exactly how you imagined it.
Step 4: Creating the look, costume and style
An iconic character also has a striking look. Using AI to plan a costume or create digital art of yourself as the character is a fun and visually engaging step.
Suggested prompt:
“Describe a costume inspired by [character’s name], but adapted to a modern, realistic style. Include details about colors, fabrics, accessories, and personal style tips.”
You can also use this description in image generation tools (like DALL·E or Midjourney) to visualize the outfit. You can also plan a cosplay, photoshoot, or even a look for a themed party.
Step 5: Create interactions as the character
Now that you have the look and story, it's time to get into character and practice lines, gestures, and ways of expressing yourself.
Prompt to simulate conversation:
“Act as if you were [character name] and talk to me as if we were in a scene from a Disney movie. The theme of the scene is [e.g. farewell, reunion, preparation for battle, etc.]”
Prompt to practice acting:
“Teach me how to portray [character’s name] convincingly. What are his/her most striking facial expressions? How does he/she speak? How does he/she move?”
These exercises can help you create creative videos, voiceovers, or even improve your expressiveness in public. And if you want to take it even further, you can combine this with voice AI to simulate how you would sound with the character’s voice.
Step 6: Share with the world
Transforming into a Disney character is magical — and magic is meant to be shared! You can post on social media, create a video, write a fanfic, or even put together an artistic portfolio of your transformation.
Creative caption prompt:
“Create an inspiring caption for a photo of me dressed as [character name], reflecting on what I learned from him/her and how this experience changed me.”
These stories can inspire others to do the same — and connect you with a community of fans and creators who also love Disney and technology.
Step 7: Bring the transformation to real life
Finally, reflect on how the character’s characteristics can be applied to your daily life. The true power of this experience lies in how it can transform the way you see yourself.
Reflexive prompt:
“How can I apply [character’s name]’s values and attitudes to my everyday life? What habits can I develop to be more like him/her?”
These answers can help you cultivate courage, empathy, creativity, or any other quality you admire.
