Somewhere, someone with a little too much time on their hands, located and compiled these scenes from various old Disney movies that bear striking resemblances to none other than...other Disney movies. Part of me is amazed at just how exact the duplicated scenes are between the different movies, but part of me feels like my childhood self was a little taken advantage of. I loved Disney when I was little, but I had no idea that the numerous movies I loved were all the same movie!
I guess when you find something that works, you just stick with it. But then again, where do we draw the line in creative acts between just doing the same successful routine and taking a chance on something new. It is good to produce work, any kind of work, that people enjoy; however, as creative thinkers, we also have a responsibility to encourage people to think along different avenues.
As an imaginative cultural icon, Disney surely has this responsibility to show work that is engaging but also innovative. Despite this clip, I don't think Disney has anything to worry about. Over the years, they have been the first to jump on new video technology, explore every possible angle for stories and characters, and capitalize on consumer products ranging from washclothes to comforters. Disney is an empire, but they still need to keep pushing for new material.
