Gen Z Discovers Disney's Reused Animations And Reacts Strongly

by Damjan

Making cartoons is tough and takes a lot of time. Disney has been making movies for almost 100 years. They used to draw every part of the cartoons by hand, which was slow and hard work.

Here's something interesting: Disney sometimes used the same animation in different movies. People find this surprising every time they discover it.

Right now, young people on TikTok (called Gen Z) are finding out about this. They're comparing scenes from The Jungle Book and Winnie the Pooh. They're noticing that the kids in both movies, Mowgli and Christopher Robin, walk in a very similar way through their forests.

One TikTok user named @buzzzi_ started this trend. They made a video showing similar scenes. Even though it's on TikTok, it hasn't become popular on Twitter yet. The video uses a spooky song called "Paris" by Else, which makes it feel creepy.

What's funny is that this discovery keeps happening over the years. Back in 2009, a newspaper called The Daily Mail talked about it, and then again in 2015 by Insider.

Disney has been really good at animation for a long time. They've learned new ways to make cartoons, but looking back at their old tricks is still interesting. This new discovery by Gen Z shows that even small things in movies can connect in surprising ways.

Back when it gained widespread attention, Floyd Norman, a former Disney animator, mentioned that the deceased director Wolfgang "Woolie" Reitherman had a tendency to prioritize caution and rely on established methods.

Norman explained that this approach was likely adopted to streamline the production process and cut costs. However, he expressed skepticism about the effectiveness of this strategy, as retrieving and repurposing old footage from the archives posed its own challenges.

According to Norman, it would have been more efficient to create a new animation sequence from scratch rather than attempting to adapt and incorporate existing material into something new.

It's clear that Disney's animation magic is more than just colorful characters and exciting stories. Discovering that they reused animation in different movies might seem odd, but it's actually a clever trick. It's like finding a hidden treasure in a familiar place.

The fact that this keeps popping up, even after many years, shows that there's something special about these reused scenes. It's like a secret code that connects different stories together. This makes watching Disney movies feel like you're part of a big, friendly club.

Some might say that reusing animation is a bit lazy, but I think it's pretty smart. It's like using your favorite recipe to make different delicious dishes. Disney knew what they were doing, and they knew how to make their movies even more magical.

So, next time you're watching a Disney movie, and you notice something familiar, remember that it's all part of the enchanting animation spell. And hats off to Gen Z for uncovering this cool secret and showing us that even in the world of animation, surprises can still bring joy and wonder.
