Except in the concept art, when Elsa was a villain, they managed to avoid sameface.

they were pretty obviously going to show Elsa as the confident, corrupt, older sister. And Anna as the forgotten about 'spare' who proves everyone wrong by standing up to her evil sister. You can see the early characterizations in More Then Just The Spare http://disney.wikia.com/wiki/More_Than_Just_The_Spare

And the thing is? In the concept art you can see a lot of the intended characterization just from posing/design. You can apply a lot of personality. The final designs are... pretty, but they obviously went for pretty first, and 'give us shorthand for the character' second.

Also the whole "Rapunzel is their cousin" thing is just a fan theory.

Was Elsa her sister at that point in development? I think she was just the "Snow Queen", no relation.
And concept art is different than the actual 3D models and such.

Well, that concept art is very stylized and, in my opinion, seems to be more about showcasing what their personalities and assigned roles were at that point than what the characters would end up looking like in the finished movie. If you look at other art (like http://img3.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20140123012438/disney/images/thumb/a/a7/Anna-and-Elsa-Concept-Art-frozen-35612444-1200-1600.jpg/258px-Anna-and-Elsa-Concept-Art-frozen-35612444-1200-1600.jpg) where Elsa is still the villain, they look a lot more alike and also a lot more like sisters (which I personally like, though of course siblings doesn't necessary have to look similar!)

But like I said in the comment above, I do want more variety in how female characters look (Like it would be really cool to have a curvier female lead, like the Elsa in the concept art you linked!) What my main point in the other comment was that I just think it's unfair to compare the looks of 6 women where there's two groups of related women and one who's not related to anyone (and that character doesn't even resemble the others)
