re use of sound affects and choreography


Did anyone else noticed this they have reused a lot of sound affects and choreograph from previous disney movies. The bell ringing in the end is the same used in cinderella and the dance scene in the forrest were the same dance steps used in snow white and the aristocats. If you have noticed this please comment. I notice these kind of thingd because I have watched every single disney animated movie ever made

Yes, I noticed it. Especially the sound effects as a kid, and always found it kind of cool.

There's also the elephant; there is a specific sound effect when an elephant tries to make a sound, but someone grabs his/her trunk. This was used in this movie, Jungle Book, and I have a feeling their maybe a third movie...

They had to because they were not given much of a budget to work with

I noticed they played the music from Lady and The Tramp in one of the scenes.

The Badminton (I think) scene has the same music from one of Tramp's scenes I'm pretty sure.

I like it, because it kind of gives a double nostalgia, at times.

The music during the final fight between Robin Hood and Prince John - when the castle is on fire - sounds heavily influenced by the music from the scene in "Sleeping Beauty" when Prince Phillip fights Maleficent as a dragon.

The movie was on a budget and they had to reuse A LOT of content.

Some of the scores are reused, the animation cells are reused from The Jungle Book, Snow White and the Seven Dwarves and probably several others. The sound effects are reused, and heck, even the character designs are reskins of previous Disney characters.

To to that, you may have noticed that this movie features A LOT of walk cycles for a Disney movie. This further cut-down on production costs.
