Getting a glimpse of the earliest versions of beloved Disney characters was a hit, so why not do some more of them?
The 2013 movie Frozen was the culmination of Disney's decades-long quest to make a movie out of the 1844 Hans Christian Andersen fairy tale The Snow Queen. If you're familiar with it, you know the Queen is the villain of the tale, cold but still beautiful. An early draft of the Disney character has her rail-thin, with blue skin, spiky hair, and the makeup of an elderly grand dame. That was before they decided that Elsa wouldn't be a villain after all. The early versions of Wreck-It Ralph were monsters, resembling a yeti or a bear and in some cases, sporting horns. And Stitch from Lilo and Stitch was a terrifying tiger with a rat head.
