Originally Posted By Evening Star I will have to rewatch Enchanted. For B&tB and P&tF the similarity exists frame to frame. In Enchanted I don't think there is a stark similarity such as that, in camera angle or in frame set up. I haven't seen it in a while though. In fact, it's sitting lonely and forgotten in it's Netflix envelope at home right now...
Originally Posted By Witches of Morva ORWEN: Thank you, Evening Star, duckling. I remember that scene at the end of Princess & the Frog, now that you mention it. The costume Prince Naveen wears is very much like the one Prince Phillip wears, too. Only the color is different. So, yes, they've traced that dance at least twice!!!
Originally Posted By Evening Star No thanks needed. That scene is kind of amusing too in comparison to the previous films because Charlotte's dress looks like a large pink bubble swirling around. Aurora's dress flows in that scene. Belle's swishes a little. But Charlotte's looks a bit like a large bubble wand on the move. It's interesting to see how the same animation can still create three different scenes and moods. Also: Except for small details like the crown, slashed sleeve cuffs, the sash, and the boots, I think it is the same costume used for both. The same lines at least, though not the same colors.

That same piece of animation appears in 'The Sword and the Stone' -- Wart does that walk and 'brush the branch' move, and also in one of the 'Winnie the Pooh' movies, Christopher Robin does the same walk and 'brush the branch out of the way.' As I'm recalling they 'flop' the animation in one instance...reversing it.

Originally Posted By Bellella Hey, Bob. Not only do they reuse footage from "Snow White" and "Jungle Book" in the Phoney King of England scene, they also take quite a bit from "The Aristocats." Hey-o!!! And how about "Jungle Book" copying off "Mr. Toad" in that monkey chase scene?
