Ask any artist, rarely does the final product turn out just as it was imagined. The same goes for everything we see on screen in movies. Often characters, scenery, and costumes begin one way, only to morph into something entirely new as actors, directors, and producers influence what the film will look like.

Concept art happens in the earliest stages of creating a film, where designers brainstorm what characters will actually look like. As their personalities grow, so too do the artists' initial designs. We've collected a list of The Craziest Early Concept Art Designs From Your Favorite Movies. See what Buzz Lightyear, Yoda, and Spider-Man were supposed to look like when they first appeared on paper.
