intended? :s
Someone drawing two characters in a similar styles??
Madness. Absolute madness. And Sparta, too.
Oh its WORSE
The SAME PERSON drawing THE SAME CHARACTER for THE SAME COMPANY… only in one movie he’s playing the part of a robin hood character.
how evil. he should sue himself.
XD Whats even worse is they had the same voice actor O.O
there’s a big dumb bag of “duh” attached to this look-a-like post. did you know the same bear that was in The Jungle Book and Robin Hood was also in a TV cartoon called Talespin? amazing… i know…
i know im gettin tired of thes gay look a likes
Phil Harris
You guys are complaining too much… I have some great suggestions for future lookalikes.
Baloo from Junglebook TOTALLY LOOKS LIKE Baloo from Tailspin.
Austin Powers TOTALLY LOOKS LIKE Dr. Evil.
The Terminator TOTALLY LOOKS LIKE the Governor of California.
@Jcrow:LOL
that governor thing made my day. lol
Disney uses the same templates for different movies….cheap? maybe. but its just how it is.
fail. completely intended. can’t we get some GOOD LookAlikes around here lately?!
Seriously people it doesn’t matter…. “looks like” means the two items look similar, it doesn’t give any indication of chronology. Find something real to bitch about.
Copy-pasted off of another guys comment XD
Only Anomnomnom wasn’t complaining about chronology :B
Yeah, but it’s kind of like saying a blue pen looks like a red pen :/
OMG! THEY DO!!!!
There was a huge thing about disneys robin hood being mostly ripped off of older disney movies ages ago. So Duh!
Yup, they recycled movie cells because they were going broke and needed to cut funding in various ways.
Same actor duh!
And, the same person also did their voices. . . . . both Disney movies. . . . This one is a fail.
Yes, Phil Harris did both voices:
http://us.imdb.com/name/nm0365201/
No, No, people, see — Baloo PLAYED Little John. Yeah, that’s it. Disney always rags on themselves about using the same actors over and over. Remember at the end of Cars, when John Ratzenburger called ‘em out for using his own voice in their “Mickey Mouse Operation” ?! You can find remnants of other movies in almost every Disney picture. They do it on purpose. It’s supposed to be like a hidden picture game, to see if anyone will notice.
Yeah, like in Finding Nemo, there are toys on the floor of the Dentist’s Office, and one of them is a Buzz Lightyear action figure. One of the cars that drives by the window is a ‘pizza planet’ mobile.
They are EVERYWHERE, and most of it is intended.
Agreed! So Disney movies of that era A.) Sucked! B.) Recycled.
So you’re saying Disney movies of this era are good?
P.S. Era spelled backwards is are!
arE if it’s capitalised :0
since when did era become a proper noun?
It doesn’t have to be a proper noun to be capitalized. It could also be at the beginning of a sentence, as in “Era spelled backwards is are!”
you guys are waaaaaay off topic! anyhow….. THEY ARE THE SAME THING!
although, that point has been made already.
Racecar spelt backwards is racecaR
The Disney-Pixar films are good, yes. Disney alone, hell no.
yeah, but at least they were appropriate for viewers under the age of 10.
And didnt exploit some young kid(s) to the point of having them burnt out and on drugs by their 20’s
I actually really liked the Robin Hood film back when Video was cutting edge…
If by appropriate for viewers under the age of ten you mean not appealing to the average adult at all (thus reinforcing the false notion that cartoons are for kids only), and reinforcing violence and stereotypes of all types of people vastly more than modern movies, then yes, yes they were.
same animators.
the animation will look simialr when done by the same animation company.
just look at any old disney movies or family guy versus american dad. very alike lol
Old disney movies look nothing like american dad.
Win.
Fail.
Fail.
Old Disney movies vs. Old Disney movies
OR
Family Guy vs. American Dad
OR
The Simpsons vs. Futurama
OR
Batman: The Animated Series vs. Big O
OR
Various Hanna Barbera Cartoons
God your an idiot, learn to read.
I think I read it just fine:
“Just look at any old disney movies or family guy versus american dad”
old disney movies/family guy vs. american dad
You read it fine, but I bet you fail at reading comprehension
Ahahahaa.
Wow.
Fail. =P
Not only same animators, but SAME CHARACTER! This was a conscious choice.
Obvious fail is obvious.
hehe
Nice to see that the Department of Obvious makes lulz too.
As head of the Department of Obvious, I would like to accept this compliment, while eschewing any negative publicity.
Well duh!
They were played by the same bear. :p
FTW.
Yeah, the “bear necessities” became too expensive due to the global recession and he had to take a second job.
Win!
Yes! You guys totally get it.
That’s where I was going.
I <3 bears and Robin Hood anyway.
Well, they’ve just copied the whole animation scheme from whichever character came first and re-used it.
No wonder they look the same, in certain scenes they behave exactly the same too.

At least Disney recycles
.
I loved some of those other videos too. Cool link. Disney Chicks are Hot
.
snow white is scary @.@
No fu(cking sh!t, really?
A@@wipe.
It was common practice for any animation studio to reuse cells and drawings, to cut costs. Check out any older cartoon movies or shows, you’ll see that a lot.
Actually Disney cut and paste big parts in movies, not just characters, but scenes! check it out on youtube, there’s a video showing it. It’s EXACT!
Have a link to it? I would go search it myself, but being a 3rd shifter, im going to bed just about now.
Seriously, this dawned on me when i was 8 and watched Disney movies. Same actor did the voice for both characters. Come on, this is way old news, and i fail to see how this made it on the front page…there are a lot better Totatlly Looks Likes
Since baloo and this other bear from robin hood are obvious, I’d like to see who the other characters from the robin hood movie were meant to resemble.
They used some of the same cells and sequences betwen jungle book, robinhood, and snow white. Besides the basics (clothing, color, and occasionally character ie. snow white and maid marion) the only other difference was the speed at which they played them.
The dance between Baloo & King Louie in Jungle Book is the same as the dance between Lil John and Lady Kluck.
It was a time when Disney was trying to reduce costs. You’ll notice that on the films of that era (Jungle, Robin Hood, Sword in the Stone, etc) the black lines of the characters all look ‘rough’; that’s because they were using a Xerox machine to directly transfer the pencil ‘cleans’ instead of sending them to the Ink department like they used to on films like Snow White.
Still, those are my favorite films of the Disney catalogue
also: tail spin XP (more to the point: epic fail)
http://www.talespinhq.com/Layout/talespin.jpg
Ummm… Tailspin was Baloo… they just replaced Mowgli with a bear.
Yea, Tailspin was a spinoff cartoon of Jungle Book. That was entirely intentional.
I knew that when it was still broadcasting, and I was just a kid.
reusability anyone?
They were running low on money when they made the Robin Hood movie, so they had to use the same animations over again, just slightly changed.
So I guess you guys never saw this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ihS970ymuC0
I guess you didn’t see the higher quality video posted 2 hours ago that shows the same thing.
why would you guess that?
Why wouldn’t they reuse the cels over and over again. Back then all the Disney cartoons were hand drawn anyway. Can you imagine how much LONGER it would have taken for then to churn out movies?
Amen. Animation isn’t a quick process, and certainly wasn’t then.
Spoiled kids thinking that makes it suck.:P
Those look TOO similiar
Jesus Christ. Again? Really? Why do Disney movies make it to the main page so much? Ugh.
Didn’t you know? The Mighty Yensid owns everything! (or close to it)
Same voice actor too.
Silly, it’s Baloo Playing the Part of Little John. Of course they’re the same.
omg racist!
oh btw i did see some video somewhere where disney recycled old movies and reused dance sequences move-for-move. this one and the another from robin hood was also used in snow white, there was one from cinderella in beauty and the beast. lalala …
They look the same because Robin Hood is actually a compilation of pieces from other Disney films- it was pretty low-budget, so not only do Little John and Baloo LOOK the same, the same man does the voice for them. And the dance scene in the jungle is the exact dance scene from some other Disney movie, just with different colors and music.
Different bear-same voice actor-Phil Harris. XD-ridiculous.
Would be better if he wasnt palgerizing off of someone’s youtube video

Video: Disney’s Recycled Animation
It’s obvious the same cartoon actor.
In the same way that Captain Archer from Enterprise totally looks like the time-traveler dude from Quantum Leap.
Hello! Thank you!
In the same way the Sorcerer’s Apprentice totally looks like Mickey! Duh.
That is because they are the same caracter. Disney has a way of recycling caracyers into different roles.
Both of those movies came from the era of hand drawn animation. Disney was notorious for recycling animation in those days in order to speed up production time and to keep costs down.
Of course they look alike. They’re the exact same frames of animation.
Fail at the place that you work , fail at home
Of course the characters look alike…same actor! That’s like saying Indiana Jones totally looks like Han Solo.
This is like complaining that the characters in The Muppet’s Treasure Island were ripped off of characters from the The Muppet Show.
Baloo’s rainforest was clear cut to make room for the cattle, so he had hook up with the guys in Sherwood forest…..
fyi, mumra, golobulus (from gi joe the movie) and the bad guy from Silverhawks all had the same voice.
Alladin and the prince from the little mermaid are almost identical as well
its a disney thing
DUH!! Major fail. Someone get me three bags of originality stat! This one needs a transfusion.
Hey! Stop giving this guy grief! Sheesh. The pics are almost identical, so this was a goo dcatach by him/her. Get over the crappy smarter-than-thou attitude.
disney did that kinda often if u look back at some of the old movies that just had random woodland creatures.. they also used the same voices (ie little john and baloo) … so this is really nothing new.. or unnoticed
Your comment is also really nothing new, but apparently that fact went unnotice by you.
I wish I got a dollar for every person that pointed out the cost-cutting of Disney, or the fact that the same cels were used. I could buy my dinner tonight at no expense
As in, “reading previous comments before commenting on the thread FAIL”
(I would have worded that better if I’d slept in the past two days)
I think they do that for more than just cutting costs.
I remember seeing a documentary about disney and this artist there explained that there is a guideline for drawing certain kinds of characters. To make them instantly recognizable as disney figures.
Bad guys always have a sort of pointy face, where as the prince always has a big chin
I think you’ve missed my point … it’s not the ‘why’ of why they do it, but the fact that every second or third comment in this thread is saying the same thing
to save money the companies would draw one scene and edit it later for different movies. cheap assholoes.
no surprise there. i´ve thought about that myself. i´ve also noticed that some times they will use the exact same shots in different movies but i guess they change the animation just a little bit to get away with it. like in the aristocrats there is a scene where duchess is dancing on her hind legs and in robin hood maid marian does the same dance… totally identical. makes me think they got lazy and decided to recycle old material.
To be fair, Robin Hood was made after Walt died, I mean froze.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HOIrXGd51jE&feature=player_embedded so it’s not just from the Jungle Book.
Holy frik, can’t you guys get a life? Disney is a great company and so what if two characters happen to look a like…. we’re not gonna die
Yes we are.
Ironic, ain’t it?
The snake in Jungle Book was Sterling “Winnie the Pooh” Holloway and the snake in Robin Hood was Terry Thomas
This wasn’t exactly intentional… Robin Hood was a very low budget film, so to cut costs they basically traced over frames from old Disney films and used Baloo for Little John. At one point, Little John does a dance identical to one Baloo does because it was the same dance that they traced.
This saved a lot of money because they didn’t have to film live-action reference footage.
Seriously? You cats have got to realize that the character of Baloo was literally a cartoonization of the legendary Phil Harris, voice, character and all. There is a reason both bears are the same. Do some homework prior to posting.
Disney traces over scenes all the time. There are tons of videos on youtube that do side by side comparisons of loads of scenes. It’s nothing to do with Baloo and Little John being played by the same voice actor; it’s Disney being tight and saving money. They’re not just drawn the same, they’re literally traced over the old cells, with added hats and clothes.
I’m surprised no one has mentioned the fact just about all of the characters were also in Bedknobs and Broomsticks. As much as it was cost cutting, I think Disney at the time was trying to make ‘cartoon actors’.
Cheap bastards!!!!
Dude, I’m pretty sure they had the same voice actors too.
Yeah, that’s because they used the same animation to save money.
its not a look alike , its the same draw they used
They’re not cheap bastards, throughout most of Disney’s history they were not making much money at all for themselves because they were cycling all of their earnings back into the business.
And apparently nobody on here has ever heard of the word homage.
Robin Hood in particular is an homage to a lot of things. It was made just after Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid and shows a lot of parallels to the storyline and characters. Robin Hood is the ultimate antihero and the Middle Ages in France and England WAS the “Wild West” of it’s day.
And of course they recycle their footage. It’s cheaper and it’s a great way to honor the art and artists of the past.
they also have the same snake! i don’t think it’s a coincidence.
perheps a budget cut?
Amazing Act From Callum Francis- The Jungle Book – Big Thanks To BritainsSoTalented
Callum Francis in his semi-final appearance on Britain’s Got Talent 2009. Thursday 28 May 2009
everyone knows disney use the same frames for movies but change things like the clothes and backgrounds
You know if you look at a lot of the old Disney cartoons they reused cells like that and just altered the picture a little.
well other actors get work in different films, don’t they?
They’re suppose to!
FAIL SAME PERSON
Here’s a YouTube video explaining these strange Disney to Disney similarities. Its scary.
oops heres the link
disney only has so many ways to draw a bear apparently.
Baloo is from Jungle Book and Little John is from Robin Hood.
Disney reused a lot of characters and a lot of the character scenes are the same. In the old days they did it to reduce man hours and it was much quicker to reuse… movies got out faster. The dance scenes are the same in the jungle book and robin hood…. cinderella has the same dance scenes as beauty and the beast….ect…ect..
Disney “recycled” alot of clips from their movies to simplify the animation process.
Mmm, if some of you like the character, people should take a look at this Baloo character page from Talespin. (remember the show?)
you guys are all repetitive morons. Please read before posting as you all say the same thing
why the hell would anyone read past the first 20 posts and bfore the last 5 posts?
its called time wasting
Besides their preacticaly the same characters
OMG!!! The Robin Hood Cartoon movie was the movie I made my parents play over and over again when I was a little kid. Still love that movie.
