Disney Princess Article: Is Kristoff just reused concept art?

4

posted by Annabethandco

Ok, I was looking through concept art for Tangled 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.

angelbarbie20, MalloMar and 2 others like this

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!

BB2010 watches Frozen Fever and Olaf's Frozen Adventure

Tonight's rewatch: Both Frozen shorts
Last time watched: 2018

How much did I like this movie as a kid?
Like Frozen, these shorts came out in my 20s so I wasn't a kid but like I said before, I'm a kid at heart! I was hesitant to watch both shorts because I kept hearing a lot of Frozen haters call these shorts cash cows and said the holiday special was boring. I hardly heard anything positive about both shorts. I watched Frozen Fever about a week or two after it premiered and I loved it and I finally watched Olaf's Frozen Adventure around christmas time last year and, again, loved it!

Why I Like Gaston

posted by JNTA1234

I know I'm awesome

I'm on a villain appreciation kick right now and since the blatant drainage of all the charisma from his character in the remake is still fresh in my memory I figured I'd give Gaston some props. Some people would call him a lame villain but I actually think he's really cool and these are some reasons why.

He's Hans from Frozen done right. Subversion of Disney trends is the name of the game in modern DP films, but like I've been saying, Disney Princess movies have been subverting and reinventing themselves before Disney Princess even became a brand. In the Little Mermaid, the princess rescues...

My Moana Review

posted by JNTA1234

This review was originally posted months ago but I deleted it because......I was gonna use it for a school assignment and I didn't wanna leave this up so my lecturer could search and accuse me of plagiarism. lmao

Anyway, I ended up not using it and I decided to put it back up.

So right off the bat, I have to say that this movie is very.....average. It honestly feels like a tv episode padded out with songs to make it feature length. Moana is a likable enough character, I can almost pinpoint exact moments where she's like previous Disney female protagonists like Ariel, Pocahontas, Mulan and Rapunzel...

Forgive me if I’m too poor at it. I am 99.9% sure about it! Sorry or not sorry, these fans remind me of Disney Princesses!

Ariel

• Princesslullaby
I can’t help it! She just seems like she’s the real life Ariel. Sweet, spirited and reckless, she def is like that mermaid! Both of them are so spunky, brave and vibrant. Both of them are so straight-forward, sassy and really cute! OMG, They’re so strikingly familiar.

Things that are #1 on Lavendergolden's list from each DP movie

All Dp films are nice. We can’t say anything absolutely bad, each film has something that stunned us. I am being impartial. Yea, each DP film has at least one thing that I love.

• Snow white and the seven dwarves

1.    The queen is my most attractive female villain. Sorry Snow white, but I think the queen was more beautiful than her. Her luscious red lips and seductive eyes! She’s sexy!

2.    The huntsman is my most handsome DP villain human sidekick! Nothing to say!

•    Cinderella

Cinderella & the Beast: In a Contrast

posted by deedragongirl

Cinderella.

Hi guys, I had recently watch a video about the enchantress. I actually notice that these 2 characters have a number of similarities with each other.

Cinderella

In the 2015 live-action reboot, Cinderella's kindness actually prove to the fairy godmother by rewarding. Ella is considered an outcast with her stepmother and stepsister, and she also share some similarities with Belle considering that the latter originally was going to have 2 sisters who are bullies too in the movie! Secondly, the magic spell will only work till midnight, thus setting a time limit for Cinderella.

The Beast

Change Disney Songcontest.

11 users has voted in the poll: 'Will you add some songs for the Eurovision Songcontest Disney Princesses Theme?' Almost the half of the users has said 'no' the others has voted 'maybe'. want to change the part of adding songs in the contest and want to. do it with polls. The best three songs from each movie joins the contest. This is just an idea, maybe I'm just impatient. If there is enthousiasm and users add songs. I won't change it. But it's likely that, that won't happen. So I'm preparing now to the other way of selecting songs for the contest. I hope you will vote in the contest! It's my first contest on Fanpop!

An Indian Princess Appearance

posted by deedragongirl

The Taj Mahal

Okay, after Japan and Korea, here are my finalist for an Indian princess. Especially for her appearance, are you ready?

1) Aishwarya Rai (Miss World 1994)

She won the Miss Photogenic Award and the Miss World title back in 1994, she is a very pretty Bollywood actress in her own rights after winning the title and I have to say that she ages gracefully!

2) Priyanka Chopra (Miss World 2000)

She is another possible choice for an Indian princess, I would not be surprise if they choice her to voice her and base her looks on a princess too!

3) Sunidhi Chauhan (Elsa's Hindi Voice)

She was the voice of Elsa in the Hindi dub for Frozen, she also has a very pretty look and will definitely be good for an Indian princess.

Be Bollywood!

So these 3 choices are my personal favourites, do you have any suggestions?

Aishwarya Rai!

Hello Priyanka!

Hello Sunidhi!

Disney princess dreseses: Rapunzel

posted by andy10B

1. Normal dress

Hiya my next princess is Rapunzel. She is the first princess to be made computer animated, this won't take long,

1. Normal dress
The films original outfit is a pink dress consisting of a light pink top, darker skirt with flowers, light pink sleeves and a sort of corsette she wears. The dress is a mixture ofor Auroras forest outfit and snow whites formal dress. It has a beautiful princess look and basic as well. 8/10

2.Wedding dress
Marrying Flynn is something any girl would want to do, so you wearing a wedding dress is a definite. It's nothing special though a white dress, a tiara same as any average wedding. I know it's from tangled forever after so may not count but I thought I would add an extra dress just to fill more article space. 5/10

Next up is Medreia from Brave. I am not a fan of her to be honest. She is quite mean at times but she does have costumes to discuss so that will be next, In the mean time comment below and see you soon bye.

1. Working dress A

Sorry it's been a while but I have had things going on in my life but I will carry on. This next princess has a wide range of different outfits so I may not put extended too much on each of them but I will describe them. This is Tiana from princess and the frog.

1. working dress A
During the day she works in a yellow dress with apron and brown shoes. This all typical American waitress dress in the time works well but I don't like the dark colour used, it's dull. 5/10

2.Working dress B
When working at nights she wears a much better outfit I feel, a blue one shows her prettier side in waitressing,...

I'll Changed My Name to....

It would definitely be Aurora, because I love Latin names so she is the perfect choice for me. (Runner-up: Jasmine)

My Parents

Maurice and Tiana's parents! Both of us love IT gadgets, especially DSLR cameras, Apple products and laptops. I also want to be independent as well and I'm glad he's very supportive of Belle despite not having a motherly love for her!
Secondly, I choose Tiana's parents because they're also very supportive! (Runner-up: The Sultan of Agrabah)

A Whole New World Lyrics

posted by Annabethandco

Aladdin: I can show you the world
Shining, shimmering, splendid
Tell me, princess, now when did
You last let your heart decide?

Aladdin: I can open your eyes
Take you wonder by wonder
Over, sideways and under
On a magic carpet ride

Aladdin: A whole new world
A new fantastic point of view
No one to tell us no or where to go
Or say we're only dreaming

Princess Jasmine: A whole new world
A dazzling place I never knew
But when I'm way up here, it's crystal clear
That now I'm in a whole new world with you
Aladdin: (Now I'm in a whole new world with you)
Princess Jasmine: Unbelievable sights
Indescribable feelings...

My Top 3 Disney Princess Movies

posted by zanhar1

Whilst typing my last article I came to realize that (Mulan being the exception) my favorite princesses were different than my favorite princess movies. That said; whilst my two favorites are Ariel and Mulan, my favorite movies are Beauty and the Beast, Mulan, and Snow White.

Beauty and the Beast

This movie is probably my favorite Disney movie hands down. I absolutely adored the plot. I'm all for uniqueness and originality; usually in movies people are cursed into animals. In Beauty and the Beast, they are all objects...that can talk. And this is all because their Prince had to work on his attitude...it...
