So I'm just wondering what character makes you blink twice, what character do you always remeber because of their looks? It can be because of thier clothes, face, hair, or any other thing.

JUST POST AWAY!!!!

My fav would have to be:


Ariel

I love her hair, the color is differnet and wowish, the style she wears it makes her stunning. Her wardrobe, is soooo cute it makes me want to be her.

For me, the perfect character has a large head, large eyes, but small nose. Glen Keane's Ariel is a good example, and the characters from Kim Possible are some of Disney's best designs yet.

Even though this thread is about Disney characters, I am also drawn to the styalistic design and head/body proportions of Miyazaki's anime characters.

i like chracters who wear pretty pink dresses and smile a lot. lol

For me, it's a toss up between Ariel and Tinker Bell, for sure. I adore them both. They're my two perfect female "types", ha. Kim Possible really has something too, and she's not far behind for me. Neither is Belle or the others that followed Ariel, but they have a similar look and Ariel was the original. So, I like that look from Ariel and the girls that drew from that style, but also the oldschool look of girls like Tink and Casey's daughters, Slue Foot Sue, Katrina, the All the Cats Join In Girls, that general area, ha... Basically, I like the cute but sexy young female characters. Mainly Tink, Ariel, and Kim I guess, though. But there's one artist online who draws a grown up version of Disney's Alice and just makes her incredible... but that's not "official" art, ha.

Hmm . . . do I know who you're talking about? Anyway, I've always had a weakness for the way Freddie Moore drew girls; wonderfully appealing faces and proportions. Design-wise I've always liked Ariel and KP a lot too.

Yeah, ha, I think you know. His Alice work really left an impression on me. Sooo my type. Incidentally, as I understand it, Marc Davis designed Tink. Can you specify, EW, some of Moore's girls and some of Davis's girls? I wonder if I have any confused. I believe Moore's would include, for example, the centaurettes...

This is a hard one. I really liked Chris Sander's style in "Lilo and Stitch." I also liked Glen Keane's designs for the Beast, Pocahontas and Tarzan.

Wow, I really should know this stuff better but I'm so rusty now, lol . . .

When it comes to animated beauties I believe Marc Davis worked on Tink (of course), Cinderella, and Aurora.

Fred Moore definitely worked on the Centaurettes in Fantasia, the mermaids in Peter Pan (which was released after his death), and All the Cats Join In. He also at least inspired, if not directly worked on the likes of Slue-Foot Sue and the girls in the Casey at the Bat shorts. I say inspired because I know he took a two year break from Disney to work with Walter Lantz before returning and I really have no clue on the sequence of it all. Perhaps someone else out there can confirm this all for me? You can find quite a bit of interesting info on Fred Moore here: http://blackwingdiaries.blogspot.com/se ... ed%20Moore

Oh, I also wanted to throw Preston Blair's Red into this thread as well. Although she's not a Disney character, she was designed by a pioneer in the field that worked at Disney for a short time.

From what I understand, they are all based on a design known around the studio called the Freddie Moore Girl. In fact, I believe that he drew various "Freddie Moore Girls" in various stages of undress, and the animators used to collect 'em like trading cards! (At least, that's the impression I got from the audio commentary on Fantasia).

I really like Mulan for some reason, and Megara. I really like Meg's dress, it's very original, and goes away from the typical 'princess' type dresses, and reflects her character.

Great info anyway, thanks. And I do hope a statuette of Red is made for the animated ladies line from Electric Tiki. I actually wish they actually made that lamp of the Wolf that we see in the film "The Mask", but I've never seen it anywhere, ha.

like milojthatch I absolutely love the look and feel of Lilo and Stitch. That is the greatest, ever!

i think beast would have to be my favourite character design wise. i love the way he moves, specially in the wolf attack scene.
