"First, Syndrome wasn't originally going to be the villain in The Incredibles. Instead, he was only going to appear at the beginning of the movie, where he would attack Bob and Helen and then die in an explosion that destroys their house. The original villain was named Xerek, who underwent several iterations during the development process. In the end, Xerek was described as a James Bond-like villain and an ex-boyfriend of Helen's who is determined to bring down superheroes."
"Lilo & Stitch was almost set in Kansas instead of Hawaii, and had a very different story. According to director and writer Dean DeBlois, the initial pitch for the movie involved an alien landing in a forest in Kansas, and it would follow the alien's interactions with woodland creatures there. Eventually, DeBlois and Chris Sanders relocated Lilo & Stitch to Hawaii, capitalizing on the rich culture while maintaining the "small town feel" that Kansas also provided."
"In Frozen, Anna and Elsa were originally not going to be sisters, with the story initially consisting of Anna being commoner, while Elsa was going to be an evil snow queen. The story would've revolved around Anna seeking out the Snow Queen to freeze her broken heart. According to director Jennifer Lee, "Elsa was going to be the complete antagonist.""
Multiple Disney and Pixar films began with radically different concepts, characters, and settings than their final versions. The Incredibles originally featured a villain named Xerek, while Syndrome was slated only for an early sequence. Lilo & Stitch shifted from a Kansas forest story to a Hawaiian setting to incorporate local culture while retaining a small-town atmosphere. Monsters, Inc. originally centered on a 30-year-old man plagued by childhood-drawn monsters that embodied unresolved fears. Frozen initially positioned Elsa as an antagonist and Anna as a commoner seeking a Snow Queen to freeze her broken heart. Olaf's original role differed in early Frozen concepts.
