Your tween dreams have finally come true and it's all down to Snapchat's new animated 3D Bitmoji feature.

Those of us who whiled away our teenage years imagining ourselves as Lizzie McGuire will be ecstatic to learn you can finally have your very own animated alter ego à la Lizzie. Albeit over a decade too late. Eh, better late than never!
Now, you can add a sassy li'l animated 3D Bitmoji to your video snaps that looks just like you, and acts every inch the augmented reality alter ego.
Lizzie McGuire—the popular teen sitcom from the early 2000s—was clearly ahead of its time, as the show's eponymous protagonist had her very own animated alter-ego to convey her emotions.
The uncanny parallels between the new Bitmoji and Lizzie McGuire's envy-inducing alter-ego have not gone unnoticed.

Diehard Lizzie McGuire fans have suggested that the developers over at Snapchat might have borrowed the concept from the tween classic. Shocking.

Are we just gonna pretend snapchat didn't cop the 3D Bitmoji idea from Lizzie McGuire or??? pic.twitter.com/wiHGAFmlda

Does this mean we're all basically living in a sitcom about our own lives?
these 3D bitmoji effects on snapchat got me feeling like we're all on our own episodes of lizzie mcguire

And for those with blonde-haired Bitmoji, their alter-egos even look a little bit like Lizzie. Not jealous at all.

I think Snapchat might have quite a few Lizzie McGuire fans working behind the scenes. I wonder which of our other teen wishes they'll grant next?
