Do you honestly think that when people create animation that they aren't loops of the same sequences over and over? You really think that they hand draw each sequence over and over without any sort of guideline?

It doesn't matter if they're using 3d Max or Maya....either one....if it isn't rigged right...it's not going to move right...then you need someone who can actually animate it....and trust me that isn't so simple....even in 3d. and being an animator for 2d and 3d.....I can understand the concept of reusing.... It is A LOT of work.... It takes hours upon hours....just to render out 3 seconds of animation.....evil Maya.... to the person…..who pointed out similar movements between Lord of the Rings and Harry Potter….if you knew anything about 3d…you’d realize that’s just talent on both animators parts on the sequences….

This is genius in my opinion. Disney really tapped into a formula that I never thought much about before. Kids love familiarity so even if it's not the same characters the movements and dances are familiar. I understand how flipping hard it is to animate something believably and fluidly. Once you get it right it's only understandable that you'd want to not go through the whole process again. And that they did it so well that even after you point it out it still doesn't feel rehashed is damned impressive. I don’t understand the complaints. This is genius in my opinion.

You do that! Create better stuff yourselves, consume lots of hours of your precious time, without criticizing others! The value of a movie, game, creation resides in the story, the message it transmits, not in some pure mechanics! But I suppose you never learn from your fuckin' history, do you dickheads???

After watching them over and over again for the last two week. (my daughter can't get enough) I started to see similarity between them. I saw the snow white and maid Marian, and then I saw a Aristocats and Maid Marian dancing match. A jungle book - Balou and King loui v.s. Robin Hood - Little John and Pluckley dance match. I thought I was fun now I'm always looking, like it's a game. lol. I went looking for a page like this because we just bought Snow white, Jungle Book, and Robin Hood.

Guys chill out. No one said there was anything wrong with Disney doing this, and there's not. That doesn't say, however, that this isn't interesting. You don't really think about this stuff when you watch these movies, but when put side by side it's really interesting to look at. This is an awesome post. I liked it a lot. Good job. Honestly? Guys chill out.
