They definitly knew they were at the very least alluding to Disney's Anastasia. As I've said before, Red Queen Ana is much more similar to Disney's Ana than Clorinda and Tisbe are, for those reasons. Ana (WL) wore mostly Red, I'm pretty sure that's because she was...the Red Queen. She wore White as she was the....White Queen.

I'd say compare Ana (WL) to Ana (OUAT) and you can see one that's clearly based off of the Disney one versus one that's less so. Well, yes, Ana is based off of Anastasia (the ugly stepsister from Cinderella), as well as the Red Queen (from Alice Through the Looking Glass) and the White Queen (from Alice Through the Looking Glass). Just like Will was based on the Knave of Hearts (from Alice's Adventures in Wonderland), Will Scarlet (from Robin Hood lore), and the White King (from Alice Through the Looking Glass). So naturally, they take aspects from all the characters they represent. Also, just because NEF Ana may wind up sharing more with Disney's Ana, doesn't change the fact they both pull from the Disney movie. We aren't arguing over which Cinderella or which Lady Tremaine is the Disney one and which one isn't, I'm honestly not sure why we are arguing over which Ana is the Disney one.
