20 Surprising Facts You Never Knew About Your Favorite Disney Movies
‘Wreck-It Ralph’s’ hero originally had a very different look to him
The final design of Ralph looks so different from the design from the the early stages of Wreck-It Ralph. Sure, this happens often, but Ralph’s previous look seems more notable than other characters from Disney animated films. For instance, did you know that Ralph was originally supposed to be a large white gorilla? He didn’t show any sort of human features for a while. Also, he was supposed to look like an 8-bit character throughout the entire movie. However, that made him look less lovable (with the straight edges and all that), so designers went for a curvier, more modern design instead.
‘Big Hero 6’ has Disney’s largest animated cast of characters ever
This cast is the largest ever in a Disney animated film. Unlike a lot of other movies where there are only a handful of main characters, Big Hero 6 has around 15 main characters. Not only that, but there are apparently about 701 unique characters, all of which need to be animated. How crazy is that?
‘Dumbo’ is Disney’s shortest animated feature film
Believe it or not, but Dumbo only clocks in at a whopping 64 minutes long, making it the shortest of all Disney animated movies. That’s right; it’s not that much longer (if at all) than many episodes of Netflix original shows nowadays. It was originally intended to be a short film, but the creators soon realized that they needed more time in order to do the original source material justice.
