Okay, Disney saying that girls are harder to animate is a bullshit excuse for cutting down on variety with character design in Frozen.  However, people complaining that it’s not right that Anna and Elsa look alike, and like Rapunzel before them, is bullshit too.

These are three characters with similar heritage in the same era, and within a few hundred miles of each other (Assuming that the stories take place between 1400-1650, it would be unlikely to travel extremely far, even on diplomatic excursions, for a party.)  Two of these characters are SISTERS seperated by only a couple years, and the third may as well be a cousin given the practices of European royalty.

What’s more insulting is that people who haven’t seen the movie say that the faces and body types of these characters are the only examples of females in the movie, when there are dozens of other women in Frozen and almost none of them bear the same visage or proportions of the Princesses.

It is important to show that the ideal to some is not the only thing worth showing, and Disney’s excuse that females are harder to animate is bullshit.  That this is even an issue with animated characters, though, is also bullshit.  Why are we judging a character based upon their appearance still, instead of their actions and, I don’t know, their character?
