An Instagram filter showing users which Disney characters they are has quickly gone viral after it was created by the user Arno Partissimo.

The filter generates a Disney character whenever someone uses it in selfie mode on Instagram stories, matching fans with characters like Simba from "The Lion King" or Quasimodo from "The Hunchback of Notre Dame."

Numerous users have taken to Instagram stories to try out the popular filter, including stars like Vanessa Hudgens, who was matched with Simba, and Diplo.

It's actually pretty simple to use the filter yourself:

  1. Find a friend who's used the filter in their Instagram stories.
  2. Click the title of the filter (under their username) in the top-left corner, and then select "try it" from the gray bar that pops up at the bottom of your screen.
  3. From there, you can take a selfie to figure out which Disney character you've been matched with.

If, for some reason, none of the people you follow on Instagram have tried it out, you can just go to creator Arno Partissimo's profile and click on the "filter" section of his page, marked with a sparkling smiley-face emoji. The Disney character generator should be first on the list.

Reactions from Disney fans have been generally positive, but some users have taken issue with the character they've been matched with.

Some users even pointed out that the filter was most likely randomly generated.

Partissimo confirmed in an email to Insider that the generator is, in fact, random. "People who are really angry have to try it again and it could be different," he wrote.
