I remember seeing this video awhile ago, but someone posted it on facebook recently so it got me interested in talking about.

This video shows how Disney used animation from films and copied them into other films. The person who posted this video seems to feel "deceived" by Disney because of this..... here is the video.




Personally, I don't get why they feel this way. It makes a lot of sense to me considering the amount of work that goes into animation. Also, majority of these films are really early in Disney's history so it was easier to use stuff from previous films. Something else though, is these scenes are not by any means things you remember, or when watching other Disney movies you're not like oh they did that already. These scenes are not integral parts of the film and do not "copy" in the sense that this person is claiming they do. It doesn't ruin the film, because the scenes they are recreating are recreated for that particular film. It is not as if they stole the same storyline and just used different characters to retell Snow White over and over again.

Anyways, it is interesting to see, it's kind of fun to see how these things transcended to different characters. The person who posted this though I think is taking it way to seriously and needs t lighten up .

I actually had a conversation about recycled sequences in Disney movies with some of my fellow animation students a few weeks ago. The only thing I've ever found really glaring is Maid Marion suddenly adopting Snow White's very unique dance moves and mannerisms! The people I was talking to had never noticed anything, so I really don't think it can make that much of a difference to the viewer's enjoyment of the film. It's more than likely just live action reference they're reusing, not animation, and I don't see how there's anything wrong with that. That video was really badly put together anyway and many of the clips don't even look that similar to me.

I was aware that they did this--you can sorta tell when watching Beauty and the Beast where they got the animation from in the final ballroom scene. I don't really think it's a big deal. I mean, it's not like the whole movie's made up of recycled animation.
