Mary Blair provided the overall look and color palette for the film, making it a vaguely French setting from the early 1800s. It was the mixture of these two approaches that helps make the character one of the favorites of the Disney princesses. The main animators on the character were Marc Davis and Eric Larson, but their perception of the character clashed with Larson wanting a simple rural girl and Davis wanting more elegance and grace. When Prince Charming didn't come along, she went right over to the palace and got him."
