Welcome to Gaia! ::

Got the idea for this topic after I was looking at screencaps from The Fox and the Hound. Feel free to post any similarities between other Disney characters.

Anyone remember the little green caterpillar in Fox and the Hound? Squeeks I believe his name was. He metamorphosizes into a butterfly at the end of the movie. Squeeks the Butterfly, and another pic of him.

Now take a look at Mr. Caterpillar's butterfly form from Alice in Wonderland, here. Compare the two butterflies.

Now um... please tell me I'm not insane...

But this can't be just a coincidence, maybe its a reference to the Caterpillar? These movie's were made 30 years apart from each other.

Both dark and light blue with a pink pattern, wing shape is similar, both are swallowtailed and their antennae are pink.

What do you guys think?

I'm quite sure Alice in Wonderland and The Fox and the Hound didn't have the same animators, also as I said it was 30 years between both movies.

I just find it odd, in appareance the butterflies are very similar.

I wouldn't call the Caterpillar from AiW a minor character either, he was the one who told Alice how to adapt to her environment, in other words, how to play by the rules of Wonderland. Of course I'm a Wonderland fan in general and have read the books, and the Caterpillar seems like a very important character to me.

I am not saying they're completely the same. Yikes. Its just the similarities are prominant enough to say that its not just a coincidence.
