  • The cat from the Aristacats and the girl fox from Robin hood look similar in many ways in the face lol

  • B^U

  • :'DD I'm laughing my ass off!

  • hey heres something i discovered too! if u look up the movie petes dragon and the movie the sword and the stone both by disney when the dragon drinks the alcohol he goes out the cave and weezes smoke right? in the sword and the stone when the coyote gets tired from chasing the boy in the woods he weezes the same exact way as the dragon!

  • i still like them for disneyland

  • 9gag

  • Comment removed

  • If it ain't broke.

  • Nice try, blaming it on the 'budget', but how difficult would it really be to animate a new dance scene based on some observations in a dance club? Or hiring one of those perennially out-of-work choreographers. You could have probably gotten the work for free at one of those dance colleges.

    In conclusion: laziness.

  • Disney can get away with this, yet I get slated for putting one frame out of place in ABS submissions. Fuck animation.

  • I wonder what song the dancing was originally set to

  • oh. my. god.

  • @Dr3ssage

    >original

    >recycled

    Are you dumb?

  • Another similarity is the song that playing in the video. The Candy Man song is the same as the Bugle Boy song. Try playing those 2 songs at the same time. ;)

  • Ok so Disney may not use original drawings for EVERYTHING, but the skeletal frames are virtually the same, its a way to save money and produce the great things Disney produces.

    I personally think it is clever and efficient. and for the amazing movies Disney work so hard on, it think that its AWESOME.

  • its the same because robin hood was produced so cheapley.

  • You did a good job editing. Thanks

  • They just went to the same dance school. Who cares?

  • well. my childhood is gone.

  • Woah. How did you catch those?!

  • LET'S GET FUCKED UP!!!!!

  • That just blew my mind

  • Souless

  • so what... all the disney characters learned the same choreography from the same disney choreographer :D

  • Wasnt baloo and little John voiced by the same actor too?? Lol

  • @TheArtisticGirl1 Yep, and Thomas O'Malley from The Aristocats.

  • @thousanwhite...FTW!

  • Those sons of bitches

  • still epic, no matter what

  • Aw, come on!!! Think how much time this saved!!! Plus money. I bet you wouldn't want to draw an entire new dance sequence by hand.

  • if ur an animator u know y this happens... its hard to explane if one never did animation

  • what about the fact that legendary Disney animator Milt Kahl called them out on it calling it lazy and waste of time and money?

  • That is awesome. I mean once you get something right, why change it?? As Randy Jackson says, if it ain't broke, don't even think about fixing it.

  • ok to cool but did you know (for webkinz) if you type in where did you get those strips and the ice man blues if you lisen you hear different words but the same pitch and if you isen good it can sound the same

  • I KNEW IT! My brother said I was crazy but I knew I was right! Thanks for posting this.

  • big business is cheap, noted.

  • I actually never noticed all this. Amazing, it seriously made me laugh!

  • You are welcome for watching.

  • the song really matched their dancing :3

  • Woao!

    This is REALLY impressiiiivee!

    I've seen this movies like a zillion times and i'd never noticed this.

    The only thing i knew about Snow White's dance is that they used a real dancer and copied all the moves.

    Thanks for this, is pretty cool.

  • Everyone who's crying about this should shut up and listen.

    1: Back then, it was all done by hand, no computers to do the work. It would've been torture to come up with new dances.

    2: I think it's kinda a reference to the older classics, ya know, for you to say "Hey! that was the dance in Snow White! I love that movie!"

    Besides, Disney lost rights to Oswald because he wanted to make higher quality cartoons, and he brought sound to cartoons. Disney was anything BUT cheap back then.

  • also at teh time this was most likely the most popular dance lol...its more common this is probly the "disney signature dance"

  • all of disney's movie back then were rotoscoped its normal for every single cartoon even know to reuse stock footage...what they did was have ppl and they literaly traced over them to mimic the movements its how they are able to do such amazing movements for its time

  • As an animator I know why they did this, to save money, labor and time. It's hard drawing frame by frame animations, trust me.

  • this doesnt make the movies any less good

  • Each second has at lest 24 frames, more if its a high quality animation. And each frame was hand painted for those movies. Its a lot of work, it makes sense to recycle if it means getting the product out on time.

  • OMCheese, I'VE NEVER NOTICED THAT!!!!! THERE'S NO WAY THAT'S COINCIDENCE!!!!! PHAIL!!!!!

  • shocked

  • my inner child is screaming in betrayal!

  • the'es only so many times you can make a scene with dancing and be bothered to make different animation.

  • it makes the movie a lot easier to make and it saves money, and gets the movie released quicker to start making money

  • holy crap that's crazy! :D

  • I always knew Robin Hood was one of Disney's cheaper efforts. But that's the common denominator here.

  • Actually, just a thought; A lot of the early Disney movies were filmed first, actually acted out on a stage, and then animated using this as reference matirial. Especially Snow White, infact.

    Chances are, they simply re-used the filmed footage as reference for such complicated scenes.

  • Perhaps they were direct copies because they love to have the characters reference each other and therefore other movies. Also, yeah, cash money.

  • I didn't know some of those... I always knew as a kid that Baloo got recycled between RH and JS, but I didn't know about the Snow White and Aristocats connections. It'd be neat to see more... I know there were some tower knock downs between RH and JS.

  • Why am I seeing a chicken with apparent boobs?

  • My childhood memories aren't so great now.

  • My guess is that the artists had some real life dance shots taken to use as references, but continued to use the same references over and over :S

  • I think it also had to do with the style of popular dances during the era that these movies were animated in.

  • when ya gotta draw EVERY FRAME by hand... heck, i'd take shortcuts where i could too. lol.

    this is cool

  • If you pay attention you realize that for every pair of scenes, one of them is always Robin Hood and the other is some movie that came out before RH. The reason is basically that in 1973 Disney was really short on money and they had to recycle they old movies as much as possible to make RH.

  • polka! :)

  • hahahah nice.... I had never realized that ... :D

  • I've only noticed the Robin hood and snow White similarities, great video sample btw! :)

  • the same scene is in the aristocats too!!

  • Omg...I NEVER noticed this!

  • little things like these easily amuses me

  • @LunarIce Agreed.

  • I feel weird that I actually realized this the first time I watched the scene when I was little XD;;

    The thing I think that tipped me off is when Duchess does that head swing thing in Aristocats and then the princess or whoever copied it. I've always been amazed at the head swing thing for some reason and it was a scene that stuck out to be, so I rewatched it later and knew every scene from the Jungle Book and Aristocats XD

    Didn't realize Snow White was in there, too, though o:

  • Wow, you're quite vigilant to realize that the movements are the same.

    :D

    I know each story, I just never noticed the movements were the same... Haha that's kind of cool you saw that.

  • Haha well made.. this one.. poor of Disney however

  • That's kind of cool. xD There are recycled parts in almost every animation really (I'm just look at anime, yet no one's complaining there. I don't understand why some of you guys feel "cheated".

    I agree with some you though. Just go ahead and draw out every disney movie with different things in each one and see if you run out of ideas or if your hand loses feeling.

  • Wow i've never even seen the similarities. I don't feel cheated, i mean it ain't like the watchers noticed until being told right? If you feel cheated i suggest you people try drawing movies by hand, it ain't easy! Love the similarities i was completely ignorant to them.

  • There's also Junle booka dn Winnie The Pooh too, when Christopher Rpbin/Mowgli are walking across a fallen tree.

  • Whats the big deal about it, as a kid one wouldn't notice, so I really dont see what the problem is.

  • Also, the ending scene of Beauty and the Beast, when they were dancing, is the same as the end of Sleeping Beauty. I personally think it's pretty cool.

  • How interesting.

  • Maybe they just all had the same choreographer? xD

    Kidding, I notice they recycle scenes as well, there's this fallen tree scene in The Jungle Book they used for The Adventures of Winnie the Pooh, but just repainted it to look less like a jungle. It's sad to see even animators like to cut corners. D:

  • OH NOES!!!! Dx

    at least they didn't cheat the lion king.... as much as this....

  • I don't feel cheated as someone on deviantART suggested. I instead think it's cool c: Like a signature Disney dance or something.

  • I ALWAYS noticed some of these looked familiar...I just never put two and two together. Especially the bears from JB and RH and the smoking part!

  • omfg! jävla dålig fantasi man kan ha...

  • I'm trying to find a video that shows all reused animation in and from 101 Dalmatians. If anyone knows of any please reply to my comment or send me a PM.

  • Awesome =D Never noticed it

  • lol ya ever notice it's always the same voice actors too? lol

  • never saw this as a kid... I just thought they always danced the same! Made a fool of myself at prom...;(

  • @Shimmer311 rofl priceless comment ^^

  • omg really insane!!!

  • wow disney is very sneaky

    i didn't even see that until now

  • that talks very much about writer's imagination...

  • @OahGeez Writers? Do you mean artists? The movies were not computer animated back then and it takes A LONG TIME to "draw" the whole movie. They were on a low budget and had deadlines to meet. Give them a break.

  • lål :D They just re-use those :3

  • I can see why they would do this, it's very interesting though!

  • Robin Hood came out after all of these

    So it's the only one that really copied

  • I love how Baloo, The ginger cat from Aristocats, and the bear from Robin Hood, are ALL voiced by the same VERY talented voice actor XD

  • I totally saw those too! This was very well done! And at least Disney recycled the good stuff ;)

  • they also used aurora and phillips dance(Sleeping Beauty) as the dance for belle and the beast dance at the end of the movie(beauty and the beast)

  • Disney is lazy

  • I think that's really cool. I'm a graphic arts student and you figure years ago it was harder to come up with new ''dances'' especially when they were doing all the work by hand and with hand-drawn stuff..give the artists a break.

  • awesome video! its rly interesting how this was done. the song choice, however, rly sucked. best played without sound

  • i think it's absolutely fascinating! It doesn't make me thing ill of the artists at all! it's really cool :-)

  • the funny thing is most of them look like their dance doubles especially with robin n=hood n the aristocats

  • HAH.

  • You people don't understand that animation is part art, part story-telling medium, and part business.

    Many animators have to struggles with deadlines, specially Disney when Robin Hood and the films that appear on this video, it had to be done if they wanted to preserved their jobs or make an income from the film-

    Hard times were hard, and they can damage artistic integrity.

    Money most of the time controls art.

    Indie cartoonists and freelancer artists are the only ones that are truly free.

  • @cambaprecoz

    To add up and finish, the recycled sequences are visually different and amazingly imaginative in how they were handled that we should atleast pay respects to the animators for doing their job.

  • @julian575

    You prbably ignore that "child cartoons" is actually one of the richest entertainment industries in the world.

    You have any idea how much money the cartoon industry moves?

  • You let people arguing about child cartoons actually upset you.

    Fail.

  • And you actually let people arguing about child cartoons upset you.

    Fail.

  • Cool!

  • WOW i never noticed this before at all!!!

  • uhh that's weird O_o why would they do the same things in other movies...disney's weird with that but..I"m weird too!! xD love it!!!! <3

  • These choices were actually all made on purpose by a supervising animator for 101 Dalmatians... I can't remember his name, but if you watch the bonus features on 101 Dalmatians, available here on YouTube, you can find out. ^_^

  • its not just robin hood with recycled animation, in beauty and the beast the final dance shot between belle and the prince is also the end from sleeping beauty. They were days away from the deadline so the animators cheated and recyled. Maybe that was a similar case for robin hood.

  • I found this out yesterday and it's kinda cool!

  • this is crazy haha i dont even know how to explain myself in words haha!!!!

  • I had already noticed the dance from Robin Hood and the Aristocats on my own from watching them too many times as a kid, but I never saw the similarity between Snow White and the other ones. I noticed the similarities between Baloo and Little John as a kid, too, but not the dance.

    Guess I didn't watch Snow White and the Jungle Book enough, haha.

    At any rate, I kinda like seeing these "recycled movements." They're kinda fun to look for. :D

  • This is the way I heard it (and I could easily be wrong on this)...

    Production on "Robin Hood" was axed about two-thirds of the way through, so the animation department took it upon themselves to finish the movie on their own.

    They resorted to tracing older animation and recycling already-completed animation to finish the film and save it from being shelved.

  • don't forget Ursula and Madam Medusa.....

  • I feel so cheated!

  • Tracing or not. One thing is for sure, Disney made a good job turning snow white into a hot vixen :P

    They also did a good job to implement human expressions on animals.

  • Pixar has made disney irrelevant. Disney was once the name in animation.  A long time ago.

  • I think they did it on purpose, like tributes to older movies

  • Those cheap artist.

  • I think that the reason why they copied the movments from their other movies is that they had a law budget. I don't think that they were cheap.

  • @Tommynka Its cheaper to reuse choreography. Every new scene they come up with costs them big money to animate and re-illustrate. You can at least save money by only re-illustrating.

  • @Azaman2009 Not necessarily.

    They still had to hand draw most of these scenes because they were mostly the older disney movies. There wasn't much money saved, only effort

  • @Tommynka

    I'd also like to make note that in both Jungle Book and Robin Hood movies Baloo and Little John were voiced by Phil Harris 83

  • Oops, also forgot he was O'Malley the alley cat XD

    COINCIDENCE?!

  • @Anexilli you are so right! Phil Harris was the voice of Thomas O'Malley (Aristocats) as well =]

  • yeah a law budget. Disnet is freaking evil man

  • I actually think this is pretty cool. They always sneak parts of other disney movies in each other.

  • I totally agree with you! =]

  • wow! all my life i've watched these classics yet i never knew all about this deja vu stuff til now thnx!

  • Yearh I noticed that to since I saw my first disney movie, but I have wondring about why they re-cyled the moves?

  • haay no way i wonder how long that took haha

  • That's why Robin Hood sucked :P

    Naww just kidding while I didn't like Robin Hood it's understandable since they needed to save money. I mean wasn't this movie made in the disney dark ages?

  • thats so cool! Ive never noticed!

  • I like the idea that they reuse Templates from there movies. They did some for others like Sword in the Stone, 101 Dalmations, Ichabod & Mr. Toad, and some other one I can't remember

  • Wow!!!!

    LOL Amazing, I never noticed,

  • i think its funny

  • =[

    I would've rather remained blissfully ignorant.

  • Actually I think that it's cool and I like watching the resemblance between the scenes. I don't think that the Recycled movements are a bad thing. I LOVE DISNEY.

  • WTF I've never noticed that even though I've watched every Disney movie at leas 1000000 times.

  • LOL yeah Yoko I agree with you !

  • XDDDDD

    They are very original in their movies!

    LOL

    5\5

  • I was fortunate enough to visit the Disney Animation Studio a few years back when they were developing Chicken Little. I got a little tour around and saw their more historical items, such as the colored cells for this movie. I was told that the cells for making animated movies were quite expensive back then, and as such Disney had to recycle certain scenes. Where they took the original of one movie, and painted over it to create another. But isn't the case for all their older movies ;)
