This isn't a case of early Disney Animation artists being lazy and just forgetting to draw ears. Hey, maybe ears are hard to draw guys! Did you ever think of that!
Because if you look at early scenes of Cinderella out of her classic ball night garb, she definitely has ears. Okay, they may only be as detailed as little bump on the side of her head again, drawing ears is hard , people , but she definitely has them. So why did her ears disappear once she put on her ball gown? Again, this is not some magical exchange of a body part for the night of her dreams with her Fairy Godmother.
It's because Cinderella has her hair in what we call chignon bun, a fancy French word for a semi-messy updo that uses twists, tendrils, or braids — or in this case, a tiara — to hold up the hair. And chignons sometimes cover the ears. Were the animators being lazy? Probably not. Was Cinderella missing ears? One fan took to Twitter to point out how unusual the blonde princess looks thanks to the addition of ears.
In her iconic blue ball gown, the cartoon Cinderella from the movie has her hair in a sweeping up-do with her ears completely covered by her blue headband. Her tweet, showing a side-by-side comparison of the new and old Cinderella characters, has racked up over 47, likes in just over 24 hours.
Although her ears are concealed in the scene where she meets the prince at the ball, the cartoon Cinderella does have ears in other scenes. And it's understandable, because one of them sported a very different look than usual: Cinderella had ears , after apparent decades without. Naturally, this discovery caused fans to frantically wonder how they never noticed that the princess was literally missing the organ that allows her to hear the sweet words of her mice friends and her prince.
Yes, some folks have noted that Cinderella's ears are slightly visible when she wears her hair down, but it's still weird that they're smashed under a headband for the sake of an evening look, OK? The art director says she was just as baffled as the rest of us that we'd gone 69 years as a Disney-loving society without realizing the princess was missing something essential. And while that might sound easy — you know, just give the girl some dang ears and move on — recreating the princesses, a.
It took a lot of work the animators had an incubator solely to help them with this scene, which they called "Princess Palooza" and the input of original Disney animator Mark Henn who got into this industry because he loved Cinderella so much — no pressure to translate an entire slate of princesses most of which were drawn in the 2D style, rather than Ralph's 3D into Wreck-It Ralph -friendly versions. Considering that the animators spent hours just to make sure that they got the "character" of Ariel's flowing red hair just right, slapping some extremely visible, protruding ears on a beloved flaxen-haired royal is kind of a big deal.
