The answer is they all made great characters for children in South Tyneside on World Book Day.
So did Batman, Captain Hook and a selection of princesses.
We are talking about World Book Day and some of the great costumes which have graced the schools of South Tyneside in recent years.
This year’s big day will be here on Thursday, March 5.
But will the costumes match these great creations gone by? Take a look and remind yourselves of some wonderful scenes.
