First!
No one cares!
This actually happens alot with the Jungle Book.
omg it is the same i bet Disney just changed the background a bit
Totally true. The 70s Robin Hood is even worse.
That’s because they used the same backgrounds for all of these, including Wind in the Willows! You can practically lay the backgrounds over each other with only a little difference in shadings.
A lot of the character roughouts were similar. When you look at the animation, though, Christopher Robin is hesitant in his movements like you would expect from a 6-year-old in the woods, while Mowgli has the more fluid movements of someone raised in the environment.
Gawd, that makes me sound like a geek!
True, old 2d animation studios reused tons of backgrounds for their cartoons. Disney was not the only one : )
come on. how many times have we seen this one?
I mean, i FINALLY get around to posting on this cheezburger network and my ‘LOLZ’ disappear, yet i keep seeing this over and over and over and over again.
totally looks like failburger. how bout?
Really. I’m surprised it took until the 6th comment for someone to say that. Then again, if that many people are seeing it for the first time, maybe it’s worth reposting. There should be a “repost section” just for that purpose.
it’s almost as bad as the “omgz the caravan in bugs life looks liek the caravan in monster’s inc” one…
nah. that was just one of pixar’s film references. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Pixar_film_references
You’ll find this a lot with old Disney works. During hard times they were forced to recycle animation cells. Check out Jungle Book, Aristocats and Robin Hood, just to name a couple, the whole Monkey dance routine between Baloo and King Louis is used for Little John and Clucky’s dance bit, a lot of stuff was reused to save money.
exactly, back pre CGI cell shading days the first steps , roughs (key frames on paper) and “inbetweening” (the drawing of the sequence of animation steps) costs were a significant part of the production (as it required strong drafting and drawing skills and was usually done in house), so reusing backgrounds and rotoscoping new characters on to new cells over old characters on paper roughs saved significant time and money.
There are videos on YouTube that show a lot of this. Robin Hood was basically a photocopy of A Jungle Book, The Aristocats and “The Fox and the Hound” recycle quite a bit as well.
There’s also a bit in Jungle Book where Mowgli gets his faced licked by a pack of wolves; it’s identical to a scene in Sorcerer’s Stone where young Arthur gets his face licked by a group of dogs.
I think you mean The Sword in the Stone.
The Sorcerer’s Stone is Harry Potter.
*facepalm*
Yup, and the whole “Let’s just ignore the written story and go from there except for the title” concept was introduced by Disney himself in the making of ‘The Jungle Book’. The whole thing kind of dissolved from there. If I recall, that’s one of the reasons artists such as Don Bluth left.
I thought it was common knowledge that there was a period of time in Disney’s animation where they reused a lot of frames amongst movies to save money. I’ll try to find a link.
http://www.hemmy.net/2006/04/26/disney-animation-reuse/
that shows a few examples of this.
Hey hey! No worries! Hakunah Matata!
haha:)
Seriously, why does all the intentional crap keep getting through?
I think there are two kinds of intentional, though. There’s stuff that references something else and looks like it intentionally that shouldn’t be posted here. Then there’s stuff that’s recycled to cut corners or out of laziness like this that I think it’s good to point out.
Not laziness, cost.
Interesting!
Interestingly enough, both characters were voiced by the same kid.
Not too terribly surprising, really. Voice actors tend to find repeat work.
And that bear had the same voice in every movie he ever appeared in, regardless of his name.
Wouldn’t it be awesome to be a career Bear Voice?
Disney has been doing this forever. They’ve been reusing animation all the way back from Snow White, their first feature. One video I saw showed old animation appearing as recently as Beauty and the Beast.
left after, right before mogli ate mushrooms
You folks have very astute eyes.
Though in all honesty, I watched them when I was a kid, and it’s not like kids are concerned with such things, I suppose.
-sigh- Another case of recycled animation. A lot of stuff from The Jungle Book got re-used in The Rescuers, too. Like when Mowgli first runs away from Baloo–that animation is the same as when Penny is running through the swamp away from Madam Medusa.
CREATIVITY FAIL…
Successful business model WIN!
There is actually a lot of weird and controversial stuff found in Disney movies…The whole “Sex” spelling in the stars during Lion King..The penises on the statues in Little Mermaid….the part in Aladdin where you can hear a neighboring by stander say “Good little children pull down their pants” The names Buzz and Woody..(cmon..) Nemo is Omen backwards…Jim Crow in Dumbo….I could go on…but it all stands that Disney dun Goofed.
I think it’s more like Buzz is a stereotypical name for an astronaut. Woody is a western style nickname. Nemo is probably based on Captain Nemo. Being politically correct wasn’t that big of a deal back then so it was acceptable that the crows acted like stereotypical black guys when the movie was produced. Their type of thinking was, if I was a talking black bird, how would I act? If anything, Warner Brothers was worse, especially with Loony Toons.
Thank you!
Yeah, okay, almost all of that is rumors. The “sex?” that was SFX, which is pretty easy to confuse. Just the effects department shouting out to themselves. The penises in the statues was exhaustion and an imminent deadline for an artist- and was changed just as soon as they noticed. The part in Aladdin? That’s not what’s said, that’s just what people think they hear. Buzz and Woody? Come on, they are references to classic spaceman/cowboy names!
Nemo being omen backwards? What does that even mean? Come on, it’s a name that’s been used a lot throughout history.
Shortcuts FTW!
