Pixar, Disney and other Animated Characters in Origami Form

Surprisingly enough there’s a lot of great origami inspired from Pixar, Disney, Dreamworks and other animated movies. Pretty much anything that people like can be used to inspire origami artists.

We’ll start this post off with a pair of origami Minions and each of them is folded from one sheet of paper.
