Disney Dreamlight Valley Players Think One Upcoming Addition Looks Like a Sims Character

Key Takeaways

  • Fans are divided over Flynn Rider’s appearance in Disney Dreamlight Valley, pointing out that he looks like a Sims character.
  • The Storybook Vale expansion includes new characters.
  • Flynn’s resemblance to a Sims character is reminiscent of Belle’s controversial appearance change.

As a long-time Disney enthusiast and avid gamer, I must admit that I find myself torn between two worlds in the case of Flynn Rider’s appearance in Disney Dreamlight Valley. On one hand, I’m thrilled to see more beloved characters from the Tangled universe join the game. On the other, I can’t help but notice the striking resemblance of Flynn to a Sims character, which seems out of place in this magical Disney setting.

Followers of Disney Dreamlight Valley are showing a range of opinions regarding the upcoming arrival of Flynn Rider, set for later in November within the game’s universe. Known as Rapunzel’s male counterpart from the 2010 animated film “Tangled” and its subsequent TV series spin-offs, it isn’t Flynn’s inclusion in Disney Dreamlight Valley that some fans are arguing against, but rather his visual design. They feel that his appearance seems more fitting for a character within the Sims game.

In the late days of October, the Storybook Vale expansion for Disney Dreamlight Valley was unveiled. This enchanting land, initially a paradise, has been marred and fragmented by the villains Hades and Maleficent. The Storybook Vale expansion will be released in two parts to Expansion Pass subscribers, with the initial segment due on November 20th and the second part scheduled for a broader release window of summer 2025. The first installment of this expansion will feature Hades, while also introducing two new Disney heroes: Merida from the 2012 movie “Brave” and Flynn Rider.

In Storybook Vale Part 1, many fans appear content with the characters being added to the game, but some find Flynn’s appearance a bit peculiar. Reddit user rosier101 shared a trailer still featuring Flynn, sparking discussions among other fans using Simlish phrases such as “dag dag” and “sul sul.” Despite his charismatic demeanor in the trailer, fans struggle to identify what makes Flynn resemble a character from The Sims series. Interestingly, some attribute the issue to his nose, which is a problematic feature for Flynn, considering he often criticizes it in his debut film and artists drawing his wanted posters consistently get it wrong.

Fans Think Disney Dreamlight Valley’s Flynn Rider Looks Like a Sim

It isn’t the first instance where the introduction of a new character stirred concerns among the game enthusiasts. Back in September 2023, Belle’s arrival was greeted with similar skepticism, as her transition from the 1991 animated film “Beauty and the Beast” to the 3D game world led to facial features that were uncomfortably realistic (uncanny valley) and deviated from typical Disney character proportions. However, a recent update in August for “Disney Dreamlight Valley” improved Belle’s appearance, and some online fans have pointed out that if fan feedback could modify Belle’s look, it might also affect Flynn.

There isn’t much information available yet about Disney Dreamlight Valley’s Storybook Vale Part 2, which has been named Unwritten Realms. The expansion roadmap suggests that Maleficent will assist in unraveling the mysteries of this new area, however, no other characters have been announced as part of it at this time.
