Which do you like better, the original concept designs, or the final Disney characters? Let us know in the comments below!
Disney Original Concept Designs
Original is better: Tinker Bell (but it’s close), Aurora, Cinderella, Aladdin
Final character is better: Snow White, Jasmine (original looks like a female Jafar to me), Jane Porter, Genie, Flynn Rider, Anna, Aristocats, Triton, Ariel, Peter Pan
They look basically the same: Cruella de Vil, Carl Fredricksen, Pocahontas, Alice (same character, two different art styles), Belle (only slightly different art style)
They look different but equally good: Ursula (I can see why they changed it though), the Beast (he used to be a mandrill?)
Cheat: Mulan (dressed as the potential bride in the first and the warrior second), Evil Queen (disguised first, actual face second)
“The fairest of them all!”: This soppy, bloodhound-eyed Tim Burton reject.
I’m sorry, but if you’re going to put up the picture of the Evil Queen in witch form, stick with it. Pick a lane.
