And it got us thinking about our own Supreme Court’s Disney look-alikes

A judge from Ukraine has attracted media attention after a tweeter pointed out she looks like the half-woman, half-octopus villain from The Little Mermaid.

Not words we ever thought we’d read either, but you can’t deny Alla Bandura’s dramatic make-up and extreme hairstyle bear some resemblance to Disney villain Ursula’s.

While our Ukrainian lawyer — who, interestingly, survived an assassination attempt in 2006 — continues to attract social media shares and likes, Legal Cheek can’t help but wish more of our UK judges looked like Disney characters, though there are already some parallels.

Of course the most striking of all the judges is Lord Sumption, who looks like the Mad Hatter from Alice in Wonderland, maybe even a bit like Marie from The Aristocats (pictured right).

Lady Hale, on the other hand, reminds us of the loving fairy godmother in Cinderella.

And does anyone else think Lord Kerr looks like all of Snow White’s seven dwarves rolled into one?
