Jerry Beck Plugged Me on the Brew!!!

Check it out:

You know, getting a plug on Cartoon Brew was one of the few goals I had for this site, & now after just reaching my first year here I finally reached that goal! Time to celebrate!

I was going to put these videos on the backburner, but I can't let the Brewsters down! Not the Brewsters!! Therefore, I will get started on my next "DGL" video post haste!

Thanks, Jerry Beck!

There's a same/as animation scene in "101 Dalmatians" lifted from "Pinocchio" when the window swings open with the puppy hanging from it that was originally Gepetto's swinging window with a dangling Figaro. Another "Dalmatians" shot, with an adult Dalmatian carrying a puppy by the scruff of the neck and leaping aboard the departing moving van was flopped and redrawn with cats for "The Aristocats" about a decade later.

Hey Mike - great post. Animator Dave Spafford pointed out the JUNGLE BOOK/TOAD reuse to me many years ago and it was a real revelation. Woolie Rietherman loved re-use and there was a particular "take" of Goofy (i think from AQUAMANIA) that was often re-used by him (the wolf in SWORD comes to mind). The Woolie era drafts are full of re-use notes.

BTW--chunks of Baloo's entrance in drag in 'I Wanna Be like You' is re-used TWICE in the same sequence, but I have to say not overly noticeable. i know they were in a pinch finishing JUNGLE BOOK after Walt died, maybe that excuses a little of it, but it got to be a bad habit. i admit I've done it, but it is to be avoided at all costs.
