Concept art is always fun to look at long after the official, final design for a character is firmly lodged in your brain. How can we not help but think about what might have been. The following images come from a number of Disney projects that represent decades of animation work. What is clear from these images is that, at the very least, the characters we now know and love could have been much more interesting. The non-white characters, for one, are a lot more, well, non-white. There are also some sexier villainesses, dumpier heroes and, well, you’ll never look at Gaston the same way again. You can see even more of the art here. Enjoy.
