Funny ^^

Cool
In an old “Animation Podcast”, one of the old-timers at Disney spoke of using reels from previous films as a animatronic or motion story board.
LOL
That is some real fascinating stuff. Funny, too.
Nice find, Andre. I never would have spotted those in a million years!

You say Disney IS “recycling code” yet these are all clips from like 40 years ago. Shouldn’t lead people on like that. It’s just not a correct statement to claim IS rather than HAS is all.
Don’t get me wrong, this is funny stuff, but it’s really no different than the old Flintstones cartoons where they’d walk past the same door/lamp/chair in a room 50 times while leaving the house.
Great post tho.

not really so surprising or so bad.
animation is such labor intensive work that i find often the best animators find clever ways to spare themselves frame-drawing. while you may not realize it, 50% or more of every traditional 2-d animation you have ever seen is ‘not drawn’ but rather created through frozen frames, multi-frame cycles and various other mechanisms. why shouldn’t the same be true for character walk cycles, set designs and camera angles?
disney is like every other studio and for-profit moviemaker in that less money spent on a movie is more money in the bank, so time and effort saving methods like these seem perfectly acceptable to me.
It’s down to “rotoscoping’.
Rather than animate from scratch, for certain sequences, Disney (along with many other animation studios) would film an actor doing the movement they need, then ‘trace’ that movement.
In other words, it gives much more accurate and lifelike animation and saves a ton of time and money, given that the alternative is to have an animator ‘work out’ a dance or action sequence frame by frame.
Basically, I don’t find it surprising that these would be reused.
It’s like many modern cartoons today are made in flash with pre-drawn characters animated like puppets.
While animation ‘purists’ look down on it, I don’t see anything wrong with it.
Seen one – seen ‘em all, as you say.

Paulius is right on with the rotoscoping. What this clearly isn’t is “reusing” or “recycling” anything — the frames have been redrawn, even the backgrounds are repainted despite being similar. They are referencing old reels to set their shots up nicely, but it definitely isn’t like looping a background or character or other lazy techniques by the likes of Hanna Barbara or Family Guy.

You forgot the King Louie dance with Baloo from The Jungle Book hat was the same as the dance between Little John and Clucky in Robin Hood, and the band from Robin Hood, which is playing in the same scene, that was used in Aristocats “Everybody wants to be a cat” as well as the dance in that same song between Duchess and Thomas O’Malley as Robin Hood and Maid Marian.
God man, this post is amazing, as a Disney Fanatic, I find incredible that in fact Disney also uses the same code and shots. Very good. Thanks for sharking

Is it Yes written interesting, but continuation will?
Cool!! How’d you even notice it!
