disney templates

The video showing how many of the dance and action sequences in Disney movies are exactly the same came as no suprise. I noticed when I was much younger that all Disney movies have very similarly drawn and similar characters, and of course the plot is always the same. And why shouldn't it be? They've obviously found a formula that works for them. And nobody seems to mind- I'm sure we all know when we sit for a Disney movie that good will undoubtedly conquer evil in the end no matter what gimmick the journey has. I love how this video of the templates is edited, showing that many scenes throughout Disney's movies are in fact identical. Even the character ratios are the same, if the one on the left is tall and the one on the right short that stays the same in each example. Of course this is back in the day when the cartoonists had to draw every individual frame, so I think anything that they could get away with to make their jobs easier was a great idea.
