In fact, she lived on for at least five decades!

Someone obviously had a lot of time on their hands. [Wink]

I think the last one might be stretching things a little, but the other ones look just like her, body language and all.

I watched the other two "Disney's gettin' lazy" entries, and I've totally seen much more obvious examples of Disney reusing their stuff.

The big one that pops into my head is the scene in Robin Hood where they're all dancing to "The Phony King of England" as compared to the scene in Aristocats where they're all dancing to "Everybody Wants to be a Cat."

The doe in the last one certainly mimics her movements, though it's hard to tell if it's the same character.

hansenj, they reused scenes in the Jungle Book, for sure. At the beginning when Mowgli is bowled over by his wolf siblings, it is the same animation as when Wart is bowled over by Sir Ector's two dogs (Tiger and Tober?) in The Sword and the Stone. And later on, when Colonel Hathi cuts off the elephant trumpeter by squeezing his trunk, it is the same scene in Robin Hood during the chaos after the archery tournament.

I always wondered if other people noticed these things...

Geez, they even put Bambi himself in The Rescuers. I never noticed that.

I guess "Bambi Meets Godzilla" doesn't count because it's not a Disney production, right? [Smile]

Yeah, it's amazing how many times they reused things. I mean, I always knew about it, but I was never shown physical proof. Wow.

Bambi's mother was named "Banbi"? Weird.

/facepalm

Edited 'cause I'm willing to bet there's an adult film with that name somewhere.

Posted by Puffy Treat (Member # 7210) on :

Reading the edit (and watching the short online), it doesn't count because the titular character seems intended to be Bambi himself, not his mother.

Damn, spoiler warning that! Way to ruin The Passion for me!

By the way, Nighthawk...not only is Clark Kent Superman, but Bruce Wayne is Batman!

GAAAAAH!!!

I'm leaving!

Nothing beats the use of the exploding Bird of Prey in Generations, which reused the effect for the film that came directly before it, Star Trek VI.

Also the interior shots of Klingons being blown up or sucked out into the vacuum were reused extensively in Deep Space Nine.
