Line 67:
** ''[[Beauty and the Beast]]'' is an odd case. The heroine was originally referred to as "Beauty". However, "belle" is the French word for "beauty", so the original French versions would call her "belle", but not as her name. Conveniently, it happens that "Belle" is a real first name, so Disney made it the character's actual name. Additionally, Beauty/Belle's father is given the name "Maurice".
** Princess Jasmine in ''[[Aladdin (Disney film)|Aladdin]]''. Interestingly, Disney was not the first to use that name. Aladdin's princess was first called "Jasmine" in an obscure '50s film called ''Aladdin and His Lamp''. Disney also gave the Grand Vizier character the name "[[Grand Vizier Jafar|Jafar]]".
* In the animated movie and TV show adaptations of ''[[Curious George]]'', the Man in the Yellow Hat is named Ted Shackleford.
* The ''[[U.S. Acres]]'' cartoons from ''[[Garfield and Friends]]'' gave the names Mort, Gort, and Wart to Orson's bullying brothers who had originally only appeared in the first three weeks of the original comic strip.
* All of the locomotives in the animated version of ''The Little Engine That Could''. The Little Blue Engine is named Tilly, the Broken-Down Engine Georgia, the Shiny New Engine Farnsworth, the Big Strong Engine Pete, and the Rusty Old Engine Jebediah.
