Sylvie: Belle was easy. Brown hair, smart, French (even though Syl's only half). Okay, so they have different views on love, but where are you going to find many slags in Disney type movies anyway? ;p
Stacey: The first redhead I thought of was Ariel, but already taking a well known one(Belle) I wanted to leave her for other redheads. I'm not sure what reminded me of Jenny Foxworth again, but she clicked right away because she had the shorter hair (I never saw Stacey's as really longer than shoulder length) and the innocent personality.
Marietta: I believe I originally chose Thumbelina because her hair wasn't a bright red and it was a bit curly at the end. In the end, it was the perfect choice, because the story fits with Marietta so well. Girl very close to her single mother gets talked into doing things she doesn't want to do, just wants to go home, and gets really bitter. She's just looking for her prince Cormac Cornelius, after all. Plus, she gives the prince a forget-me-not necklace in the movie. How perfect is that?
