disney princesas Article: Is Kristoff just reused concept art?

Ok, I was looking through concept art for enrolados when I found this. It's the original Flynn - who was blond and broad shouldered - the complete opposite of what he ended up.

However, Kristoff is blond and broad shouldered and he has a big nose. He looks a lot like the guy in the picture.

Interestingly, all this had led me to believe that Kristoff is a recycled version of Flynn! I may be wrong, but I find my evidence pretty compelling.

What do you guys think? Do you think the resemblance is strong, or do you think it's a coincidence.

disneygirl7 Uh, he wasn't "reused" the animators say they based Kristoff off of Flynn's original design.

MacytheStrange ^ Agreed. Nice article, I hadn't seen this concept art yet!

prussiaducky I think the original design is too good to waste, but Flynn and Kristoff are honestly nothing alike, so I wouldn't use the word "reuse" since they have no similarities whatsoever

Shiki_Otherside I heard what disneygirl7 said, and I heard that Flynn was originally going to be grumpy and stubborn similar to what they made Kristoff.

Silverrose1991 Agree with disneygirl, but I didn't know that. And that concept art is so interesting! Lovely.

MalloMar Wow! I haven't seen this, and I definitely see a resemblance!

Lanalamprouge by reused i think she meant that they both had the same begginings. just because it was formally announced that they were going to use the flynn concepts doesn't take away from the fact that they did use the concepts a second time as a starting place for kristoff... though the title is a bit misleading. but cool tidbit of info for me! er. i hope that didn't sound meanish i just kinda want to say that i kinda get where the title came from

Annabethandco Your right Lanalamprogue. I was in no way that saying Kristoff and Flynn are the same in terms of personality. I was talking purely about the concept.

Lanalamprouge oh that's a relief! i was rereading my comment and glad i got where you were coming from

Tygers_Eye Well, I said in my Frozen review that I personally feel most Frozen characters are recycled Tangle archetypes and plot points (Anna is Rapunzel, Elsa is an older version of Anna with powers she feels she has to hide the way Rapunzel felt she had to hide her powers, Kristoff is Flynn, his plot about guiding the sheltered Anna through the wilderness is Flynn's plot of guiding Rapunzel.) I've said before I think Kristoff is a re-hash of Flynn (jaded, worldly, snarky, misanthropic guy guiding and falling in love with the sweet, cute, naïve, sheltered, all-loving girl) so I wouldn't be surprised if they used old concept art or a previously abandoned character design.

dclairmont No offense, but you didn't need to make an article for this. You could've asked this in the "Answers" section..

Annabethandco It's actually an article, as it was a written answer to a question. As you can see, this piece contains and intro and a conclusion. That makes it more of an article than a question to me.

324anna Wow I'm impressed! Kristoff looks exactly like the original Flynn. Very interesting article!

Belle's 2 Sisters

Anastasia and Drizella, is that you?

Hi guys, since I had read that Belle was originally going to have two sisters in early developments of Beauty and the Beast. But were ultimately cut because the story will be like Cinderella, here's my reason on why and what if they are in the movie instead.

Belle as an Only Child

This is mainly because I kind off feel bad for Belle and her dad, especially the former because she has nobody except for her dad to talk to. Especially if you have no mother or sisterly support.
If they were included in, the filmmakers will definitely tone down their characters to distinguish themselves from Anastasia...
