It was used alot back in the day when they didn’t have alot of money so using a template was perfectly acceptable. Not a big deal…there are a lot more you can find other than the ones mentioned

I think it had something to do with the amount of labor that went into hand drawing the films. where they could cut corners on drawing a new scene they would.

I think it goes farther than recycling scenes from one movie to the next. Disney seems to like to use one shot/scene multiple times in a single movie. I watched The Aristocats yesterday, and there was one particular sequence where the brown kitten (can’t remember his name) starts spitting, hissing and acting like he’s a tough alley cat. They used this same sequence (of him jumping off something, spitting/hissing, then sheepishly looking at his mother) at least three times throughout the film. I’m sure, now that I think about it, I’ve seen this practice in some other Disney classics.

I can’t see why anyone would call this stealing. You can’t steal from yourself. If they were using animated cells from someone else’s work, that would be different. I see this as a case of efficiency, nothing more. Come on! I think everyone knows how incredibly many cells are required to make an animated movie. Give those poor Disney folks a break! They make awesome movies! So what if they borrow a few cells from some of their own movies to make new movies!

I don;t think that thisis nessisarily the scandal that people make it out to be. You do know that Disney uses (or used) real live-action shots of people moving (dancing, ambling, etc) to do their animating in order to make it look like real life.

Why the heck wouldn’t an animator thing, gee, remember all those sketches I did a few years back? That would be perfect for back here and we wouldn’t have to pay an actor to come in and move in the same way and we could get the movie finished that much sooner.

For the people calling it laziness- animate your own movie BY HAND and see how you feel afterward.

Is this really stealing ??? Isn’t this cleverly capturing a part of a glorious past and sneaking it into the present … when Rodribuez or Lee or Tarantino do it its a tribute to the filmmakers of the past.

. . . . and we never noticed. Now we understand what they’ve been trying to tell us about subliminal messages. Hmmm, just what is Disney conveying with these repeated images??

my favorite is that in the last scene of beauty and the beast you may notice that some of the background people seem to be dressed strangely. thats because the animators ran out of time and stole them from sleeping beauty
