similarities in classic Disney movies

[shmedly123]

I stumbled across this youtube link and thought it was pretty cool to see the similarities in Disney movies

obviously it is not a straight copy and paste like the author insinuates but it is pretty cool to see that they reused the same movements for different films and just redrew the scene using the different characters...


p.s. i haven't posted to the podcast board in a while so i apologize if someone had posted this recently.

this have bee around for a while. It has to do with Disney Legend and Director Wolfgang Reitherman.

Reitherman directed several Disney animated films including One Hundred and One Dalmatians (1961), The Sword in the Stone (1963), The Jungle Book (1967), The Aristocats (1970), Robin Hood (1973) and The Rescuers (1977). He is also known for reusing animation in movies directed by him. According to Floyd Norman, this was just one of his trademarks, and had nothing to do with time or cost savings:
"Woolie was our director on "The Jungle Book." Reuse was just Woolie's thing. He never did it to save money. I really don't think the "Old Guard" ever had any interest in saving money. I was never a big fan of reuse, but it wasn't my place to tell these old guys what to do. One final thought. It never seemed to bother Walt, and I never heard him complain about reuse."

So there you go interesting

It is new to me. I agree it is interesting. I guess it subliminally influenced my opinion that those movies are a bit stale.

I find it interesting that the video also showed how he also recycled screen shots from Snow White.
