Perhaps, but at least the male lead wasn't a blatant copy of Hans. At least they looked superior to Anna and Hans, actually Not as generic as Anna.
The head looks like the Evil Queen, but everything below the collar-thing looks like Maleficent. Even the pose is one Maleficent is often drawn in. (And maybe the Queen of Hearts’ crown? I'm surprised something wasn't taken from Cruella, too, like her cheekbones.)
Listening to most often lately:
Taylor Swift ~ ~ "The Fate of Ophelia"
Taylor Swift ~ "Eldest Daughter"
Taylor Swift ~ "CANCELLED!"
I'd count this as "inspired by". As they say, nothing in art is original. Everything is put together piece by piece from things done before – consciously or uncounsciously.
Take a look the costume design of SHE (1935). Looks familiar, doesn't it?

It happened to me at first too. But then I learnt that if you delete the "s" in "https" at the beginning of the link to the image, it lets you attach it. Well, at least in most cases. Sometimes it doesn't work even after doing that. Also, if the image is wider than 900 pixels, I think, you can't attach it, but then you get a different message, and in that case you can still post a link to the image like you did.

Thanks for the Info! I tried for pretty long to find a solution.
I don't have an image yet, but there's a car wash company very close to where I work, and they use an image of Lightning McQueen as their official mascott. I will post an image soon. I suppose maybe that's not too unusual, maybe a lot of car wash companies use it.

The design of Minky Momo's dress is clearly lifted from Cinderella. This is from the 1985 movie "Magical Princess Minky Momo: La Ronde in My Dream" (known in the West as "Gigi and the Fountain of Youth").
Also, in episodes 50, 55, and 61 of the '80s TV series, Minky Momo transforms into Snow White. Of course, that's more of a tribute to Disney's character than a rip-off.
That reminds me of how the Go! Princess Precure musical included a Snow White and a Sleeping Beauty (and a Kaguya). Snow White's design deviated a little from its Disney inspiration, but the Sleeping Beauty pretty much had the exact same design as Aurora.
Also not sure if relevant, but everyone looks pretty in the CG Russian Snow Queen movies now. Just compare this trailer to the art from the first movie. SQ3 Gerda kind of looks like Anna, if Anna were the Snow Queen instead.
Has anyone here seen Phelan "Phelous" Porteous's review of Dingo Pictures, Golden Films, and Goodtimes's animated films (most of the films were made to cash in on Disney's films)? Very funny stuff, albeit on the R-rated side.
Not as generic as Anna.
This is from Barbie's newest movie "Star Light Adventure".
