Another thing I find particularly interesting is that this concept art exists of a design that's somewhere right in between Captain Cortex (blue hat, red jumpsuit Buzzy) and Buzzy as we know him. (Honestly this just looks like Buzzy's dad) This is from the animator Sue Nichols's website, here's the description:
"Since the Development Department was just starting, it was not yet organized and often had you drawing ideas for stories that we did not have the rights for. Most of my work in the beginning were on such ideas that will never see the light of day. I got to know Kirk Wise and Gary Trousdale during this time and joined their team to design characters for an animated intro used at Epcot's ride Cranium Command. My face even appeared in the show as a brain being jumped started. Very cool."
I guess this shows they had the AA completed first and had to go back and fix him to look like the new design!
