These conceptsshow some of the crazier ideas for fairy characters and situations we playedwith in earlydrafts. A couple of bickering Formorians with only one leg and oneeye each had to team up to help the kids at one point. They would havefunctioned as a metaphor for how Ben and Saoirse needed to work together.Another sequence involved a sedated Saoirse being carried off by a frogspawnmonster with amichevious gang of "fat fairies' who would have left a fairychangling in her place to fool Ben. This very early incarnation of Machapre-dates her becoming an 'Owl Witch' and she was much kinder looking more of agentle grandmother figure. Spud originally had a bigger role also, he couldeven sprout wings if he concentrated hard enough.
这些图展示了我们的一些更加大胆的想法,我们在更早的草稿中设想的情景。一对争吵不休的伏莫雷人(传说中爱尔兰原住生物之一),每一只都只有一只眼睛一条腿,它们需要相互扶住来支撑彼此。它们隐喻着小本和西尔莎需要协作。西尔莎被青蛙型的怪物和一大帮“胖精灵”绑架,它们还会留一个精灵在小本身边来愚弄他。
