Actually I have a few tidbits on this one-
Recently I went to go see a Disney exhibition at a local museum, where they talked about some of the bts of their most well known movies etc. many of which included some of the original concepts and backgrounds for most of their 2D animated films; here’s what I took from Beauty and the Beast:
In the Disney film (1991) he was drawn out to be a Baboon, an Ox/Bull-like creature and a Gargoyle/Macabre to name a few (which I forgot to take pictures of lol)
But yeah it only further proves the point that 9 times out of ten, the Concept art to most films are often Way More Cooler than the final product (although I can’t exactly say the same for the original concepts of Snow White 0_0 Miss would’ve ended up looking like Betty Boop/one of the Dwarves)
[And for the Captions on the Wall in the second image: the top Left is a Clean Up frame by James Baxter, and the two Concept works on the right are by Glen Keane. Forgot to take a picture of the credits for the Models but thought they looked cool enough to include - they started including them around the time when they were working on The Lion King]
cannot stop thinking about how the beast from Beauty and the Beast was originally envisioned as a baboon. what a world we might have had
#sorry this kind of got off topic lol#but I do have more pictures of the exhibit/Fun Facts if anyone’s interested#but yeah some of the concepts for like Frozen etc were absolutely Metal#especially the backgrounds#Mulan’s concepts were *chefs kiss*#also they built and entire Model Racetrack out of Candy for Wreckit Ralph#Ralph also originally looked more like an Ape/Gorilla and I feel so cheated knowing that he could’ve looked So Much more Stinky lol
