I understand that some networks might require the compute power that you mention, but this just seems like an average CNN mapping images to Disney characters. And I don't have much experience on that front, but like qayxc said, this should run fine on consumer hardware. And yeah, many journal papers suck specifically for the reason that their results are not reproducible.
