Your English is very understandable, even with the few hiccups! Don’t put yourself down!

[@carlycrays2831]

Actually, the idea that it was cheaper is something of a myth. Retired Disney animators have said that it actually probably was actually more expensive to do things this way because they would not only have to spend time studying the old movies and picking out scenes to reuse, but they would then have to hunt down old sketches and film reels. Now, keep in mind, some of these movies are almost twenty years older than the later ones. They would not always be in the best condition. This doesn't include the time just copying everything with the right character models, coloring them, animating them. It would have been less time consuming just to make an entire new scene.

[@SamaelM]

In an interview one of the animator complained that copying animation didn´t make their job easier, but the higherups thought otherwise and foced the animator to do it.

[@Eggs_hatching]

Saving time and money by repeating scenes was a myth. They still had to redraw frame by frame and adapt it to the new characters so it was actually MORE effort than just drawing a new animation from scratch. All the films with repeated scenes were directed by this guy called Woolie Reitherman who liked to play it safe and ordered the repeats regardless of the fact that everyone hated doing them

[@Jellyyfishyy]

Yeah it was more of a stylistic choice than anything having to do with saving time/money. I read an article on this about a month ago that cleared up the myth that the recycled animation had something to do with budget.

Of all these clips, the one that surprised me the most was the reusing of Make Mine Music animation in The Great Mouse Detective. I mean, how did they even come to that idea?

[@TGMD1986]

Two possible scenarios: #1. The animators struggled to come up with an original concept so they had to grasp at straws to quickly reuse an old scene and hope that viewers wouldn't notice. OR: #2. They decided to make a subtle reference to the classic Disney animation but they couldn't make it too obvious. Hence why they used a less popular movie n' Make Mine Music.

[@IdeaBox-dk5vj]

@@TGMD1986 Well, either way, they did a good job hiding it this time, as one of the few, if not the only release that Make Mine Music ever got ended up cutting out the Martins and Coys segment, meaning that you'll never find an uncut copy at all.

[@FrostedMike]

Fun fact about this practice: At some point it was sometimes worse to recycle. There were so many movies and scenes that it was harder and more time consuming (and because of that more expensive) just to find the right frames to recycle and theoreticly better to just draw new original scenes.

The second part isn't true

[@TGMD1986]

I must get this out before anyone draws conclusions (No pun intended): Personally, I find this technique quite fascinating. This video is NOT meant to reflect the technique in a negative light. I DO NOT believe Disney was "lazy" or "unmotivated" during this time. Yes, they WERE struggling financially after (And even before) Walt passed away. So it's easy to assume that they needed to cut-down on budgets and time, but I don't necessarily think that's the case. Wolfgang Reitherman. One of Disney's 'Nine Old Men', wanted to create something of a tradition. He purposefully acquired pre-animated cells from prior movies to add to newer works because HE believed it would result in a "higher quality product". When in reality, it proved to be much more painstaking than the original way of drawing NEW cells! Another one of Disney's 'Nine Old Men', Milt Kahl, did not share his feelings lightly: "I detest the use of-it just breaks my heart to see animation from 'Snow White' used in 'The Rescuers'. It kills me, and it just embarrasses me to tears." - Milt Kahl.

There’s more recycling of animation that hasn’t been brought up, but idk how many of them are more obscure as opposed to just missed

[@TGMD1986]

We'll probably never know unfortunately. Best case scenario we might get a documentary style series on Disney Plus explaining the entire process of this trend, but they'll most likely only show the scenes the majority of viewers will already know about.

@@TGMD1986 Maybe, I mean I don’t know how many people ever really made the Aristocats and Ichabod reused connection in the current KZbin vids

There's more than this, I'm sure. One example: The close-up of the hooves of the Headless Horseman's horse from "Ichabod & Mr. Toad", which would be reused in the short "The Truth About Mother Goose" and "The Sword and the Stone". Also the first shot where the Horseman swings his sword at Ichabod and his horse is revamped for the shot of Capt. Hook swinging his sword at Peter Pan during the climax in "Peter Pan".

Also Disney was running low on money and at the time they were making Dumbo and Bambi. Dumbo is so short because Disney was trying to save money for Bambi. And lucky for them Bambi and Dumbo we're hits which saved them from going banckrupt.

[@TGMD1986]

Sounds like to me that he didn't have a lot of knowledge when it came to Disney's history and probably just wanted to show off for clicks and views. I don't know who he is but that just goes to show you that research is key.

[@rinatennouji5988]

I would say it's just being smart to reuse stuff. As long as it looks good.

[@UnknownFilipino]

There's nothing wrong with recycling animated scenes. It saves alot of time in production. I'm actually more impressed than I am disappointed.

[@nicolascangele5548]

Disney always makes good movies

[@brianhalljr.2637]

You know, I can see it all now, except Goliath 2 and Lambert the Sheepish Lion, because I don't remember those 2 movies.

[@TGMD1986]

They're not official full length features. They're 10-15 minute shorts. Both I believe are narrated by Sterling Holloway (I know Lambert is at least), and Goliath 2 is most recognized for being the first real experiment with an animation process called 'Xerography'. Without it's succes we wouldn't have movies like 101 Dalmatians and The Rescuers!

[@brianhalljr.2637]

@@TGMD1986 Oh, okay. So, that's why Goliath 2 and Lambert the Sheepish Lion are not recognizable films.

[@TGMD1986]

@@brianhalljr.2637 It's probably statistically true that general audiences have not yet discovered all (If any) shorts compared to the films because, yes, they do tend to be shorter and simpler when it comes to story and narrative. Unlike the films where they feel very epic and grand, and that's why they are 10x more popular. Now that wasn't the case at all when animation first started in the 20's but we all now how that ended lol.

Walt Disney to his animation team and producers: Remember guys, it’s not plagiarizing if it’s our own work

[@pussylover3000]

They had deadlines, they had no time to animate. They're not being lazy or stealing.

[@anonymousaccount4483]

@@pussylover3000 Exactly, it’s their own work. They have the creative freedoms to reuse it

[@pussylover3000]

[@shellshocked1027]

Also in The beauty and the best, there's a scene where Maurice is riding his horse (a little before arriving at the beast's castle) and you can see a shot of the sky with threatening clouds. This is recylced from The sleepy hollow (short Disney's film from 1949), where Ichabod enters in a dark forest in the night, but the clouds where in the shape of hands, which is even more threatening.

[@wolfasketch]

*I always loved seeing these scenes and comparing them. I miss it.*

[@juliabrnssr]

Talk about a coincidence I was making a review for "The Rescuers" (I feel the movie doesn't get enough love) and was thinking they re-used shots from the Jungle Book. Now I know where and when. By the way what on earth is Goliath 2? Thought I knew about all the old Disney movies but this is a new one.

[@TGMD1986]

It's not an official full length feature. It's a 15 minute short that experimented with an animation process called 'Xerography'. Without it's success we wouldn't have movies like 101 Dalmatians and The Rescuers!

[@NightScaped]

I loved the rescuers but it use to scare me because the movie took places in such a gloomy place for most of the movie and was so quiet to me that it creeped me out xd!

[@gustavoracing1736]

1960's animations rules !

[@Blokewood3]

The scene from Ichabod and Mr. Toad/ Jungle Book is one that I immediately recognized as reused animation even as a kid. The choreography is just too distinctive to go unnoticed.

[@truefitness2622]

"well we cut corners, sometimes to save money, our animators will use the same background over and over"

[@greenghoul157]

Even when I was younger I noticed it

[@TGMD1986]

So did I! 😆

[@neontyler6663]

But Holy fvck Bambi was really from 1942? Omg! I thought that was animated from 1990’s the whole time

[@Spacemountaineer92]

i’m kinda glad i ran into this video thank you for clarification of recycling scenes for different disney movies myself sighs 😩

[@LoudHouseCritic2018]

I notice all of this when I was really young and it made me laugh, cause I realize where they were from and where they were used in

[@Cloofinder]

So Bambi's mom IS alive. She just moved to India

[@harasen_haras5]

It's quite a clever technique when used correctly.

[@r.a.c.5754]

I watched a lot of these 60s/70s Disneys on VHS growing up in the 90s, when VHS releases were getting pretty widespread. Even back then I easily noticed almost all of these recycles.

[@tsukichan4]

were the animators lazy or nostalgic? XD I love it

[@TGMD1986]

Probably both lol

[@winxgirl2072]

Who knows?

[@samperry5383]

Identical scenes

This was a fun look. I completely forgot about some of these, and a couple of them I'd never heard of.
