Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

I don't understand the 'sameface' comments when it's brought up between Anna and Elsa. Like... they're siblings. I've known a lot of siblings who could have been fucking twins. My friend in HS had six sisters and they were like someone had used the frigging clone tool.

Because they had the same face as Rapunzel, their mother (who was presumably older than they were), etc.

Weird, I don't think they look anything like Rapunzel, but I've never really like... compared them side by side.

Also, considering how young their mother died, I'd be willing to let that slide. I am the spitting image of my mother in some of her photos when she was my age.

Personally, I think the sameface carries on straight into Moana as well. People kept gushing about how ~different~ Moana looked but it was still basically the same character model as Elsa, Anna, Rapunzel and Merida -only the tiniest bit broadened/thicker.

...What?

Merida's face is like oval and lemon-shaped. Her eyes are almost completely round, and comparatively small.

Moana's nose is wide, her lips full. Her cheekbones are rounder and higher than Elsa, Anna and Rapunzel.

You just think all white people look the same.

their mother having the same round, youthful face is particularly lazy. like, women age! it's okay to give a grown woman a face that's aged and doesn't look like a preteen doll with wrinkles pasted on!

Her kids were like, what, 11/12 when she died? She could hve been barely early thirties...

they were 16 and 18 -- Elsa becomes Queen when she comes of age at 21, which is three years after their parent died -- so their mother should have been into her 40s

Rapunzel does not have the same face. Her eyes shape is difference, her face is narrower and longer and not so cherubic like the Frozen sisters, and the nose is bigger.

Sure, both styles are consistent to the larger art style that Disney has been pulling with its 3D stuff, but Moana falls into the same art style, too.

Nah, Rapunzel looks better by virtue of being more flawed. They made the Frozen sisters look damn near alien with the tiny face/big eye combo and never being allowed to emote too strongly in order to make them always look perfect, whereas Rapunzel has a longer face, rounder eyes, more pronounced nose, buckteeth, and they allowed her to have wrinkles/nasolabial lines when frowning or emoting (which she does a lot of). All around, she's more expressive than Anna/Elsa, has more character appearance-wise.

I think it comes from the things we heard about the animators having difficulty creating two distinguishable female characters because somehow all female characters have to have the same body type. It was kind of icky, and it colors the way a lot of us view the animation of this movie. That being said, you are right, they are siblings, so looking alike does make sense.

Okay that I can understand, that seems a weird thing for creators to say. :/

I mean, I don't think you can compare an animated movie to real life. Yeah if they were live action then it would be really cool that they found actresses who look so similar. But it's animation, and even though they're siblings it just feels really lazy to give them the same face instead of making them both unique but still obviously related.

I just don't feel like they have like... copy-pasted faces though? Like, yeah they look similar enough to be related, but not cloned.

My sister and I are three years apart and yet people constantly ask if we're twins. I don't get why people think that Anna and Elsa looking similar is weird because it's like you said, I know a ton of people who look extremely similar to their siblings.

Just because something is realistic doesn't mean it's good storytelling. I think it's usually lazy (in visual mediums) to make siblings look nearly identical unless it's a plot point that they look extremely similar to each other.

nayrt but how in the world are Elsa and Anna nearly identical? They may have a similar facial structure, I wouldn't know, I literally had zero issues telling them apart. I went by the different hair color, skin tone, eye color, height, fashion choices, etc. instead of cheek bones.

Palette-swapping does not a unique character design make. Putting a new outfit on a paper doll doesn't change the paper doll's face.

They are objectively unique character designs and not a "palette-swap". Height and hair style for one, if you really, really want to throw away every other detail, some as small as a freckle, that separate these two characters so that literally no one ever in the history of humanity has ever not been able to tell them apart.

That you can tell them apart does not change the fact that they have the same face. I don't think you understand the concept of sameface.

You literally were complaining that they looked nearly identical. They objectively do not look nearly identical, and have well-developed and consistent aesthetics.

The fact that they have a similar facial structure, when they are sisters, isn't really proportionate to your original complaint.

Ah. So we're just nitpicking the wording of my comment. Carry on, if it entertains you.

Would you fucking get over yourself? You completely suck in this thread.

IIRC the movies had the same designer (same as the Little Mermaid, I think?) so that's why they have the Disney same-face.
