Hi, Msmojo. I'm Mia and I love your channel, as well as Watchmojo. Can you do Top 10's based on Minecraft: Story Mode please?
ok
12:33 this scene was also recycled from Dutchess and O' maaley(?) In the aristocats
Hooray for me!😍😍😍😍😎😎😎😎😍😘😘😘🤩🤩🤗🤗😍😃🤣🤣😂😂🤣🤣😂😂😂🤣😃😄😄😎😎😍😘🤩🤗😍😎😎😍😍😍😍😍😍😍💖💖💖😇😇😇👍👍👍👍👍👍👍💖💖💖💖😇😇😇👍👍👍👍👍👍
Robin Hood's song Phony King of England used recycled movements from:
1. Snow White
2. The Jungle Book
3. Aristocats
I was going to say the same thing! That entire sequence was taken from other movies.
I'm also disappointed that they didn't show Arthur and Mowgli wiping their faces side by side. That movement was the giveaway more than the dogs for me.
I was so upset they didn’t just make that whole dance scene number one and compare it to all three movies.
Scenes were not only reused so often because they were so great, but also because back then, when it was still drawn by hand, everything was a hell lot of work.
Agreed. Not to mention that back when most of mentioned films were made Disney was not the juggernaut it is today. Money was very tight.
Lots of work animating while using the same reference footage of performers dancing and moving. The reference footage wasn’t cheap to make in the first place.
It may or may not be rotoscoping depending on who you ask, but even with full rotoscope it’s still an artist drawing a character over the model provided by an actor.
It’s not a cheat. It’s an artistic collaboration between performer and animator.
The modern version is often animators using their computer’s camera to record themselves and using that reference for the characters they are animating.
A very interesting bit of film making history when it cost lots of money to create reference footage, where now everyone has everything they need to create, edit, and publish/share the reference footage in their pocket.
Not only that but at the time a lot of this came out, Disney was almost broke. Sleeping Beauty was a commercial flop. This style of animation was not so much a new style for Disney as it was a cost cutting measure. 101 Dalmatians effectively saved Disney from bankruptcy, following the failure of Sleeping Beauty, Disney went from 500 animators to 80. They had to cut costs where they could.
makes me wonder why they re-used the Madame Mim scene 46 years later when it ISN'T so much work anymore...
Yeah it takes a lot of work, but it in essence was done to save money
I love how these recycled scenes made their mark in cinematic history!!!
And inspired certain directors to do the same, like the Japanese director Mamoru Hosada who recycled certain stuff from Digimon Our War Game (Digimon the Movie middle part in USA) for one of his recent movies, Summer Wars
“The Great Mouse Detective” is such an underrated Disney movie. One of my favorites when I was little.
Same!
I love “The Great Mouse Detective”!!!
It's my favorite disney movie :P
Same!!!
I also like this film very much. It Turned out to be better than I thought (better than Peter Pan or Alice in Wonderland).
My favorite is the ending scene of both Sleeping Beauty and Beauty and the Beast. It’s just such a beautiful moment on both movies, and is truly a wonderful ending
I always had an eye for recycled animation in Disney films, most notably in the early classics like The Sword in the Stone, The Jungle Book, Snow White, and Robin Hood. I also noticed how they reused the same dance animation of Prince Philip and Princess Aurora for Belle and Prince Adam at the end of Beauty and the Beast. You’d have to rewatch those films a lot to catch those details.😉
Exactly
agreed, and it looks like we meet again SpacialRend!
Now I’m wondering if Netflix’s movie Over The Moon had anything recycled from Little Mermaid since the person behind Over The Moon was a part of the team behind Little Mermaid
So did I, even as a little kid
Also don’t forget Bambi’s mom is in the beginning of Beauty & the Beast and also Carpet and Pumbaa
I'd say my favorite reused peice, was that shot of Bambi's mother, looking up, as it was reused in The Sword in the Stone, The Jungle Book, The Rescuers, and Beauty and the Beast.
I always noticed the animation between Ariel and Eric in Little Mermaid is the same as Jasmine and Aladdin at the end when they’re both lifted off the ground in an embrace!
I like to think of this as a clever Easter egg. I mean if Geri in Toy Story 2 is seen as a super clever cameo, even though it was just done because they didn't have the time or money to create a new human rig, I'd say this is safe.
My favourite piece of Recycled Disney animation is Mowgli and Christopher Robin from The Jungle Book and The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh. Why?
Christopher Robin and Mowgli are alike in many ways: They are both playful young boys who befriend loveable bears. To add to the similarity, Bruce Reitherman voiced both Mowgli and Christopher Robin.
I just love the clever similarlities between Disney films 😊
Edit: Thank you, Msmojo for ♥️ing this!!
Both were also voiced by Bruce Reitherman.
CR in the Winnie the Pooh and the Honey Tree in 1966
@@MadMalManny Yes I pointed that out
@@Disneygirlie sorry. Didn't read the whole thing
@Gevorg1989 I sadly noticed. . .
Oh, well. It was good while it lasted...
@Gevorg1989 That's all I need... 😇
I just noticed yesterday while rewatching the "Headless Horseman" song from Sleepy Hollow (Ichabod and Mr Toad) that Katrina's face is completely Cinderella all over again, particularly when she laughs.
Actually, it's the other way around. Ichabod and Mr. Toad released in 1949, while Cinderella released the following year in 1950. So in fact, Cinderella's face was Katrina all over again.
Robin Hood is riddled with reused animation.
I'd like to point out the dance scene from Robin Hood is not just recycled from the Jungle Book, it is also recycled from the Aristocats and more from Snow White. I agree with number 1 but so much was left out.
Interestingly, for both Mowgli and Christopher Robin, these boys were both voiced by the same child actor.
Who is also the son of the director
For the last comparison involving the Dance sequences in Robin Hood and the Jungle Book, some of those iconic moves are also seen in the Aristocats during “Everybody wants to be a car.” Particularly when Maid Marian and Dutchess are Dancing!
It was great to see somebody do a video to discuss about the recycled animations in Disney. I don't think I've seen any other studios do this.
Um...Don Bluth?
An American Tail reused a bit of animation from The Secret Of NIMH.
Disney was practically my favorite childhood movies and it's still my favorite still
The amount of reused frames between the Aristocats, the Jungle Book, Robin Hood, Sword in the Stone, 101 Dalmatians is astounding, and they go beyond even what is listed here (not to mention that Baloo, Little John, and Thomas O’Malley the Alley Cat are all voiced by Phil Harris).
Not only do Baloo and Little John look similar, but they also have the same voice, Phil Herris. The dance also has recycled animation from “Snow White,” and “Aristocats.”
Phil Harris also voiced Thomas O'Malley in the Aristocats
I was waiting for a video like this for a long time.
Nice video ms mojo, that shows that You create the most original content there is. Happy friday and see You soon.
I actually thought the “Head Swaggle” seen in many early movies would be number 1
I do love the puppy kisses recycled scene and I think it was because of that scene in jungle book, that when they did the anime based on the story, that they made those two specific wolves into his brothers that are recurring in the anime. In fact in the final episode of the anime, they give mowgli the same kind of puppy kisses too. It’s really sweet
Aside from using familiar, recycled footage for animation sequences from past Disney films, it's also interesting to note how some of the voice actors also got involved more than once in those films too.
For example, the voice of Arthur in Sword in the Stone also voiced Mowgli in The Jungle Book.
Enchanted brooms:
Sword and the Stone and Fantasia
I always notice how every time there is a deer in Disney movies, they use the same scene from where Bambi and his mother are eating grass and she hears the hunters and runs
Swear. That hunter is relentless. Bambi's mom lived and is currently on the run. lol
I'd like to point out that this practice mostly took off after Walt Disney died.
Fun fact: Phil Harris was the voice of Baloo and Little John
The Robin Hood scene also borrowed Duchess's dance moves for Maid Marian.
I really think Jasper and Kay getting bonked on the head was the most notorious among these, since it also used the same bit of dialogue in the reaction
Even as a little kid i realized these! Yet still so creative ♥
Definitely an eye opener! These are like Easter eggs 😍
Intresting fact the 1960s was a time where recycle animation helped animated studios saving 💰 since it was revolutionary at it's time while making animation so polished and beautiful and clean. Even now some still used it make it consistent and unique.
I knew about some of these. Great list. Phil Harris did the voice of Baloo and Little John. Makes sense that they would use the same scene for both movies.
That's right, I forgot they once had no money.
It’s so hard to imagine that as they’re one of the most richest companies ever now!
Back when Disney’s animation had a limited budget
Poor Bambi's mother, I've lost count of how many times I've seen her running away from the hunter. Not just The jungle book, but other movies as well. The only one I can recall right now is Beauty and the beast but I know there's more.
Even as a kid, I noticed the recycled animation in Jungle Book (mostly when Kaa falls off the tree and when Mowgli kicks the ground) but man, that movie has A LOT of recycled animation.
First thing I immediately thought of was Maid Marian in Robin Hood and Duchess in Aristocats- IDENTICAL dance moves... I guess the honorable mention with Snow White and Marian took this spot, but I'm disappointed it wasn't included. Cuz that was the first time I noticed recycle animation being a thing in these movies
I said exactly the same - it’s much more obvious than Snow White and Maid Marian
They weren't always reused because they were nice, they were reused because of budgetary constraints. Cinderella saved the company from bankruptcy in 1950, mainly because of WWII. Then after Walt died before the release of The Jungle Book, Wolfgang Reitherman had to resort to the same tactics to keep the company going. They reused a lot of older cells with The Jungle Book, as well as Robin Hood. The loss of Walt caused the company to struggle into the 70s, which is why most of the recycling happened then. Also Duchess from The Aristocats danced like Maid Marion/Snow White during Ev'rybody Wants to Be a Cat. As you can tell, I'm a huge Disney fan and have been for 30 years, so I know loads of random facts.
You forgot Maid Marian’s dance move from Robin Hood is the same as Duchess’s in Aristocats.
I remember seeing recycled animation parts from Disney's Robin Hood while watching it on Videocassette when I rented it at blockbuster before!
Let's not forget about Kaa falling down from the tree, and getting it's tail knotted twice in THE EXACT SAME WAY.
The chase scene is my FAVORITE scene from Robin Hood, no doubt :P
Also here's one that should have been: when Scar (The Lion King) and Zira (The Lion King 2: Simba's Pride) end their song on the hill.
very very great fun list I like it a lot very great job mis mojo one of my absolute favorite list ever ❤
Love the Rescuers
A few scenes from the party scene in Robin Hood where used in the Aristocats; Marian and robin dancing =Duchess and Thomas dancing, Marian doing her shake it = duchess shaking it, the drumming rabbit = drumming siamese cat.
Number 6 also reminds me of Arthur when he's out looking for Kay's arrow in the beginning of The Sword and the Stone. Guess I'll have to go back and watch it to be sure. Darn...
I know this is a little late and probably not too noticeable, but there was another Bambi & Fox & The Hound scene that were recycled, Bambi’s version after the pheasant that was killed, there was another big pheasant-like bird that had feathers going everywhere, The Fox & The Hound version was kinda similar after Copper scares up some quails/ birds and Amos Slade shoots at them.
So literally all of these are from the 2D animated movies... that actually makes sense, but are there any scenes recycled in Disney's 3D animated movies?
LOL of course not. Apparently, that’s why Disney keeps wanting to stick with there 3D animation thinking we criticize these classics cuz of there lack of advanced technology
Kinda. Some Pixar movies tend to reuse background scenes. (and I think some newer Disney ones as well but not as often as Pixar)
Since 3D models are easier to animate, that's highly unlikely.
Since 3D models are easier to animate, that's highly unlikely.
What about the nose breaking off the Sphinx from Aladdin and the Maui Statue from Moana?
Not recycled animation more like a callback
Elfen Lied (2004) and Brynhildr in the Darkness (2014) were both created by Lynn Okamoto and animated by Arms Corporation but how different is Brynhildr in the Darkness (2014) to it predecessor. For this list; I’m doing the “10 Ways that Brynhildr in the Darkness Is Different From Elfen Lied”. Brynhildr in the Darkness (2014) may had been called an “Elfen Lied rip-off”, received many harsh criticism and bombed in Japan during its initial release but as times goes by the cult hit anime series became more appreciate when it comes to the understanding of the styles and elements of the storyline. Alright then: moving forward to the list:
10 Ways that Brynhildr in the Darkness Is Different From Elfen Lied
1.Ryouta Murakami is much more proactive in protecting the Witches and other people.
2.The only person that Neko Kuroha ever kill was her older sister, Mako Fujisaki
3.The Witches can’t use their powers normally if they’re hunged up
4.The antagonists are not despicable and unworthy
5.Neko Kuroha escape from the laboratory without killing anyone
6.The Witches have to take "Death Suppressants" in order to survive
7.Ryouta Murakami is truthful to the Witches especially Neko Kuroha
8. No animals were killed
9.The series take place in High School
10. Neko Kuroha is not a “Villain Protagonist”
That odd moment when an author is accused of ripping off their own work
its funny because jungle book and robin hood were two of my favs and still are today and i never noticed the recycled animations...now i cant unsee it.
My favorite piece of Recycled Disney animation is the "Bonk on the Head" from "101 Dalmatians" and "The Sword in the Stone" because Jaspar and Kay makes the same funny sounds after they get hit. (bonk) Whoa! Ow!
9:17 Notice his hand doesn't actually touch the rock there.
Well they had to do it because back then animation was pretty expensive and they didn't have time to recreate different animations so they reused past scenes in other Disney Movies and edit them just to save time.
Very true. I think the expense really did have a lot to do with these reused scenes. Especially movies made in the 70’s and 80’s. When Disney wasn’t doing quite so well financially and the budgets were much less.
Lady Marion and Robin Hood also do the exact same dance as Duchesse and Thomas 😂
I have a favorite piece of reused Disney animation in a movie but it was for a movie that was one of Disney's hybrid films. In the animated "Stick-to-it-Ivity" musical number from 1949's "So Dear to my Heart", there was a section that told how Christopher Columbus told his crew to "stick to it" while braving through a terrible storm with a sea monster and several gusts of two anthropomorphic wind clouds that were actually reused from the storm section of the "Pastoral Symphony" segment in 1940's "Fantasia". Unbelievable, isn't it?
I noticed on some old Disney films that voice actor. Sterling Holloway voiced a few characters in multiple films Most notably, he was the original voice of Winnie the Pooh, as well as the Cheshire Cat from Alice in Wonderland, Kaa from The Jungle Book, and Roquefort from The Aristocats.
Something like this needs a comparison side to side :3
I have an original cell from the Jungle Book “running and taking” scene with Baloo holding Mowgli at arms length and the monkey running forward. You used to be able to get cells very inexpensively at Disneyland in the 70s and early 80s.
12:20 We gonna ignore the Robin Hood band and Robin and Marian's close up dancing was reused in the Aristocats.
I honestly love the happily ever after dance. Given the fact that Sleeping Beauty is the original dance scene, but only Beauty and the Beast and pull it off, again. I cannot imagine another Disney movie recreating the scene.
It's a shame that the tiger fight scene from the Jungle Book was never recycled
That’s actually a good thing
@@vanessastegall why??
6:49 Impossible to survive, but possible to have your head sliced all the way through and bleed everywhere within the castle
One of the things about Jungle Book that annoyed me was that they kept reusing the same animation.
The reason the dogs gave Arthur the Puppy Kisses was because the O&FK gave them more respect than Ector and Kay ever did
During that same dance sequence, Lady Marian also has the same dance moves as Duchess from Aristocats
Some of the scenes I noticed.
How cool!! I didn’t notice all of these except the Mowgli and Christopher Robin one. I was actually a toddler when I noticed that. I was still in my first years of life, yet my mind was still able to process the fact that what Mowgli did was exactly what Christopher Robin did. I was a puzzled at that moment lol.
Here's one some people might not know
In The Jungle Book, the scene where the Elephants crash into each other was recycled from a short from 1961 Goliath II. It's a short about Elephants
Portions of Running & Taking were used in Robon Hood as well
The Robin Hood scene is the most Infamous Recycle scene of the all. Plus that the song in that part is hard to take seriously when you can tell it’s most recycling.
There's another dance scene from Robin Hood that was reused in The Aristocats. Maid Marian and Duchess dance the same for a few frames
11:21 - 11:29 Wow, 😆 even in the 2000s' Disney still do recycling scenes
Another good recycled animation, despite being small, is the blue bird that was featured in “Alice In Wonderland”, “Bambi”, and “The Rescuers.”
“Faith is a bluebird you see from afar.
It’s as real, and sure as the evening star.
You can’t touch it, or buy it, or wrap it up tight,
But it’s there just the same, making things turn out right.”
0:28 ‘These pieces of art were so nice, they had to be used twice.’
No honey - that’s called cutting animation costs 😑
I absolutely love winne the Pooh! It’s so pure and cute!
I'm so glad you guys covered this. I remember reading something to the effect of the studio doing it back in the late 60s/70s to save $ but it ended up having a counterproductive effect. Idk, I could be remembering it wrong. Either way, these moments were always fun to spot when I was little 😁
Comment your favourite Disney movie. My favourite Disney movie is Raya and the last dragon and my little sister’s favourite Disney movie is The little mermaid.
Snow white
Mulan
The Hans Christian Anderson original is a very different story, I recommend read it when she's ready as it's very dark but a great story.
The Little Mermaid!
That was some Classic Disney Movies.
The Jungle Book and Robin Hood are awesome!!!
Also worth noting that when Arthur accidentally falls down with the crockery, Sirs Pellinore and Ector are seen laughing. Kings Stefan and Hubert were animated in the very same way in Sleeping Beauty
considering that animation wasn't cheap back in those days, it's understandable. plus if you have a winning formula, then it's a win-win situation. characters are allowed to have fun, and if that means dancing like an orangutang, the so be it
251: Also because Baloo and Little John are voiced by the same actor Phil Harris
I think the final dances are number 1
101 Dalmatians & The Aristocats:
1.) When the henchman is throwing darts at the cat.
2.) When Edgar throws things at O'Malley.
3.) Jasper's face when he gets hit with a club and holds hands on head.
4.) When Edgar gets hit with hale bail, same expression, same head holding.
I believe I heard or read somewhere that one of the reasons Disney recycled some scenes was because of their budget, which makes sense. As part of their history, these Easter eggs, or allusions, make for more entertainment for us fans. 😊
Bambi's mom made appearances in The Jungle Book, The Rescuers, and the very first shot of Beauty and the Beast
260: When I was a kid, I didn’t know...............until now
At 12:20 there’s two more pieces of reused animation. The white cat in the lower left and the rabbit in the upper right were were both taken from The Aristocats
There is one piece of recycled Disney animation I did notice even as a kid, and that's the pushing the fat character into the hole, in The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh and One Hundred and One Dalmatians. In which Pooh gets stuck in Rabbits home after eating too much honey and in 101 Dalmatians the fat dalmatian puppy gets stuck in the hole as Tibbs was trying to help him escape from Horace and Jasper.
What about True Loves Kiss? Snow White & The Seven Dwarfs and Sleeping Beauty
Robin Hood and maid Marian dance the same way in the forest as Tomas and duches do in the “everybody wants to be a cat” scene in the Aristocats
It's not surprising that they recycled some scenes. They didn't have the tech back then so this shouldn't be treated as a bad thing
One of the reasons for recycling animation in those days was simply due to cost reasons. Especially when Disney slashed their animation budget to fund Disneyland. Even the quality of the animation went noticeably downhill by the 60s, as compared to the early films of the 30s and 40s.
For the curious- one individual can be pinpointed as responsible for the vast majority of these “recycled” shots.
Wolfgang Reitherman was one of Disney’s legendary “Nine Old Men,” and took over movie directing duties starting in the 1960s.
It should be noted though- recycling is not an accurate term here; properly it is called “rotoscoping” and it was Reitherman’s signature move in the same way the head swaggle was Milt Kahl’s signature move.
Reitherman was not one to take chances when it came to animation, if a shot worked, he stuck with it. However, it had nothing to do with time or money. As Disney Animator Floyd Norman put it- rotoscoping was neither cost effective or a time saver; in fact it could take longer and cost just as much to rotoscope an old sequence compared to coming up with new animation.
It simply came down to the fact that Wolfgang Reitherman liked using what worked; he preferred not to take chances with what animation could do. Hence, it’s no coincidence why the recycling was really prevalent between the 60s and 80s
In short- with the exception of Princess and the Frog and Beauty and the Beast, every film referenced here was one he had his hand in
Was a little like saving time with recycled animations
I'm guessing seeing Squirrel Arthur from Sword in the Stone reappear in Fox and the Hound leaping through the trees couldn't make the cut?
They also recycled some of the character sketches from Robin Hood for their tv show “Tale Spin”
