DISQUS

Now here's a post I can really get into. I find it interesting that Disney reused elements in his films, but I'm not really disappointed. Animation (be it cell or 3D) is SO time-consuming. 24 drawings for each second of film time you're watching. That's a lot of drawings. So I see no problem with the reuse. I followed the link to the rest of the screenshots, and I liked one of the comments up there about reuse in 3D animation, which is also common. In the 3D world you can animate a character and then copy parts (or all) of that animation to another character. You can even make quick changes to the copy such as elongating the movements or slowing them down or speeding them up simply by scaling the keyframes.

What is a bit surprising to me was to see Winnie the Pooh matched up with Jungle Book. The animation is the same but the characters are different. That is a bit unusual for Cell animation I would think. You still have to redraw everything for the new character. It only saves you the time of blocking out the movements and timings.
