“When we were animating Gaston’s song way back, one of his lines stuck out:
“…and every last inch of me’s covered with hair! ” I did not have the time to do that scene, so one of my animators in the Gaston unit gave it a shot.
The animation turned out to be fine, but when Gaston stretched his shirt to reveal his chest, the design of his chest hair looked a little odd to me. It seemed to have been combed from the center outward. I suggested we try a different look for the chest hair, and guess what…everybody had a different take on what the hair should look like. I encouraged my colleagues to submit a drawing that showed their idea of appropriate Gaston chest hair. After a while we had at least twenty different designs to look at.
These are just some of them.” (x)
