   The closest I have come to that (and it isn't very close) was when I   
   watched the earlier Disney animated features and noticed that the girl   
   was always the same girl, with different hair color and so on.   
      
   The reason, of course, is because they were using the same girl as the   
   live-action reference. And letting her do her own thing so they could   
   capture ("capture" meaning "sketch by hand" at that time) it.   
      
   This is why I don't watch my Disney films in any order other than   
   spread out with the other alphabetically-ordered films.
