Disney has been animating cartoons and feature films for almost a hundred years, creating some of the most innovative (and gorgeous) animation of all time. Still, even Disney artists get tempted to reuse and recycle.

A new fan-made video splices together scenes from iconic Disney movies to show just how similar some of them are. Specifically, it looks at scenes from _Sleeping Beauty_, _Beauty and the Beast_, _Robin Hood_, and more, and it’s fascinating to watch each scene move so seamlessly into the next one.

It’s not a huge secret that Disney has reused animation in the past to save costs, and a [similar 2009 video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?t=119&v=hjmaOj3%5FsKk) pointed out a lot of the _Robin Hood_ similarities. Apparently, dancing isn’t easy even in animation.

_This_ [_article_](http://www.ew.com/article/2015/05/14/fan-made-video-shows-just-how-often-disney-recycled-animation) _originally appeared on_ [_EW.com_](http://www.ew.com/)_._
