>> Naughty Dog originally intended for Crash Bandicoot’s tall pretty girlfriend, Tawna, to be much more of a Jessica Rabbit-esque bombshell than she turned out to be in Crash 1. However the marketing director of Universal Interactive was not happy with the voluptuous concept art and chastised Crash's co-creator, Jason Rubin, for creating a design that she felt was demeaning to women. The design bothered her so much that she even took to reprimanding the female employee whose outfit had inspired the concept art. Her criticisms allegedly spooked the President of Universal Interactive enough to make him force Naughty Dog to give into her demands and tone down the character. Naughty Dog didn't like this "1800s safari" version of Tawna and so they retired her in favor of the much less controversial Coco Bandicoot.
