>Early into production, Bluth and Goldman began researching the actual events by enlisting former CIA agents stationed in Moscow and St. Petersburg. Around this same time, screenwriter Eric Tuchman had written a script. Eventually, Bluth and Goldman decided the history of Anastasia and the Romanov dynasty was too dark for their film. In 1995, Bruce Graham and Susan Gauthier reworked Tuchman's script into a light-hearted romantic comedy. When Graham and Gauthier moved onto other projects, the husband-and-wife screenwriting team Bob Tzudiker and Noni White were hired for additional rewrites. Actress Carrie Fisher also made uncredited rewrites of the film, particularly the scene in which Anya leaves the orphanage for Paris.

>For the villains, Bluth also did not take into consideration depicting Vladimir Lenin and the Bolsheviks, and initially toyed with the idea of a police chief with a vendetta against Anastasia. Instead, they decided to have Grigori Rasputin as the villain with Goldman explaining it was because of "all the different things they did to try to destroy Rasputin and what a horrible man he really was, the more it seemed appetizing to make him the villain". In reality, Rasputin was already dead when the Romanovs were assassinated. In addition to this, Bluth created the idea for Bartok, the albino bat, as a sidekick for Rasputin: "I just thought the villain had to have a comic sidekick, just to let everyone know that it was all right to laugh. A bat seemed a natural friend for Rasputin. Making him a white bat came later – just to make him different". Composers Stephen Flaherty and Lynn Ahrens recalled being at Au Bon Pain in New York City where Rasputin and Bartok were pitched, and being dismayed at the decision to go down a historically inaccurate route; they made their stage musical adaption "more sophisticated, more far-reaching, more political" to encompass their original vision.

Early designs for Rapunzel and Eugene from Tangled. Rapunzel's design was pretty much the same the whole way, but Eugene looks much different. Common fan theory is that this design was later used for Kristoff

There honestly could be, tends to happen when a studio is eyeing a certain actor as a VA. The person who posted it has said nothing about it however, it's simply a collection of images in their portfolio.

no, his personality wasn't anywhere near rapunzel.

originally, rapunzel was like a feral girl who had zero social skills and bastion was a cruel, ruthless brigand. He brought her out of her shell, she taught him that he can be nice and gentle/to appreciate beauty, and they saved each other.
They replaced him with flynn, who had no personality at all besides just being a snarky guy and made rapunzel a quirky-cute joss wedon stereotype.

...before even this, though, Rapunzel was about a bickering millenial couple whose relationship was on the rocks, before both being transported into a fairy tale story and the only way to escape was to "complete" the story by falling in love again. The love interest was Jack Black, which, if you've talked to any bitch at all in the last several decades, is still considered fuckable

You're thinking of rcdart kek also
>closer and closer
It's already there, Win or Lose came out. The thing with Elio is you can tell they were trying to mess around with a few different styles initially before settling on a more bean mouth-like one for some reason, there are some sculpts and 3d sketches exploring that. I actually think that style must've been studio mandated or something for personal films. The concept art for the one posted earlier looks more charming in 2d though, I guess it didn't translate well to 3d.

I wonder if Kuzco was already designed at this point. I would bet this design is from when it more closely resembled the Emperor's new clothes fable

>Instead, they decided to have Grigori Rasputin as the villain with Goldman explaining it was because of "all the different things they did to try to destroy Rasputin and what a horrible man he really was, the more it seemed appetizing to make him the villain"
So retarded. Rasputin was the Romanov's closest allie and cured Alexei's hemophilia. Lenin and the Bolsheviks should have been the bad guys. Rasputin should have been a wise old crazy sage who helped Anastasia and Dmitri, replacing the Kelsey Grammar character.
>>
>>152780448
>There's a version of Anastasia where Anastasia comes across Rasputin in the woods and he's a withered old Nicodemus-type character who helps her on her journey.
>>
>>152780480
That's how it should be. It makes no sense to make the guy who loved Christianity and the Romanovs and hated godless Bolsheviks the big bad guy of the story. It should have been Lenin's secret police.

I believe Kuzco at that point would've looked identical to Pacha's design. The original story was more like The Prince and the Pauper. Pacha the llama herder and Manco the emperor (Kuzco's original name) swap places, and then Manco gets turned into a llama, and something like that.
