The closest I have come to that (and it isn't very close) was when I
watched the earlier Disney animated features and noticed that the girl
was always the same girl, with different hair color and so on.

The reason, of course, is because they were using the same girl as the
live-action reference. And letting her do her own thing so they could
capture ("capture" meaning "sketch by hand" at that time) it.

This is why I don't watch my Disney films in any order other than
spread out with the other alphabetically-ordered films.
