Disney has a distinct visual style that can be traced all the way through their seventy-five years of lineage. It was Disney’s founding fathers, known as the Nine Old Men, who developed and perfected the 12 Principles of Animation (or The Illusion of Life). The character design for Ariel in The Little Mermaid (1989) can be traced all the way back to Peter Pan (1953). The horse Maximus in Tangledcould have been bred from the same mare as Samson from Sleeping Beauty (1959). It’s this style that lets you put all the Disney Princesses in a line and nobody looks out of place. Not even Rapunzel.
