How did you see designs for Nathaniel two years ago? Do people in the animation industry get sneak peaks that early in the process?
Or were you influenced by Timothy Spall?
Either way, when I first watched the movie I thought of your Pettigrew, but immediately ignored it because, like you said, there's only so many ways to draw a short, fat rodent-like man.
I got to visit the studio that did the animation on Enchanted in 2006. I have to admit I didn't know who Timothy Spall was until he was cast in HP3, as he was one of the few big British actors who wasn't in Gormenghast; by then I had an established Pettigrew in my head and the movie version repulsed me somewhat*, so it wasn't until seeing his Enchanted caricature that I realised how good a choice he was.
