RE-USE OF ANIMATION - DISNEY FILMS


Saw this over at Andrew's blog, which peed all over my childhood. Thanks alot, Andrew.

Side note, I happened to watch while listening to Metallica's "All Nightmare Long".
It contributed to the experience quite nicely.

I didn't realize Greg Land had worked as a Disney animator.

Scott - HA!

Genevieve - I knew Disney rotoscoped, that's nothing new. I also knew they recycled animation, but thought it was more like walk-cycles and such - not entire sequences like that.

Incidentally, days after seeing this, I just came across an explanation (and I wasn't even looking)

It seems Disney was near broke when they made Robin Hood so they traced over old films such as Aristocats, Snow White and The Jungle Book. Robin Hood did well it seems so they could do better after that.

robin hood is one of my all time favorite disneys. what's better than the snake blowing up a balloon around his head (hey, helium breath!) and too-kah, too-kah, too-kah, too-kah, too-kah'n around the archery contest to spy?

that's one of my favorite sounds/scenes of all time.
