I really miss this period Disney cartoons had in the late 80's/90's. I love the loose, expressive, personality-driven character animation. I'd love to see more material like this today.

DARK #DISNEY EASTER EGG: In "The Prince and the Pauper," a chicken is seen being stolen by some weasel guards. Later, we see the same chicken in the guards' room, cooked and partially eaten by Captain Pete. I love this short, and this is the first time I've noticed this!

Bet you didn't know there was a Platoon reference in #SesameStreet ! According to the screenplay to "Elmo in Grouchland," the shot of #Elmo chasing Huxley's copter is meant to be a direct parallel to the iconic Defo shot.

I missed this detail for years. In #WhoFramedRogerRabbit , Smart Ass (the lead weasel) kicks Eddie in the crotch during the bar fight. This leads to the memorable payoff near the end of the movie where Eddie returns the favor. "Nose? That don't rhyme with walls!"

(1/2) #ConceptArt of the ubuilt Pooh Corner land for the Magic Kingdom. I initially thought it was meant for Disneyland, but a commenter (embermoto) pointed out that it was more likely for WDW. I'm guessing it was made before Pooh replaced Toad.

A little preview for my upcoming #OliverAndCompany villains video: Early drafts of the movie involved Fagin's gang trying to steal a panda from the Bronx zoo. It was eventually deemed too complicated a story angle and the plot was restructured to be more about Oliver himself.

One last little #WhoFramedRogerRabbit discovery before the video goes up. According to Andreas Deja (a brilliant animator!), Smart Ass originally swore instead of saying "bull schtick," and his lip movements match the original take.

It's pretty hard to picture Goofy as Jacob Marley in life as a cruel miser, but two images from #MickeysChristmasCarol books show him in his corruptible mortal state. Gwarsh. (Oddly, the second image accidentally appears to show him as being translucent--check out his legs!)

#TheFoxAndTheHound originally had a musical number featuring two cranes voiced by Phil Harris and Charo, which was cut for being superfluous. Here's a bit of rare concept art for the birds I stumbled upon. You can see them labelled as "Phil" and "Charo" in the first pic.

That's all kinds of foreboding. On the bright side, I'll say the same thing I said about Pinocchio, Peter Pan, Snow White, etc: These remakes ultimately make the originals seem even stronger than they already are (and that's saying something!).

One impressive aspect of #TheMuppetChristmasCarol that doesn't get discussed enough is the economic set design of London. A good deal of the scenes are filmed in one general "town square" area, but the camera angles generally keep you from realizing this unless you look closely.

@laughing_place Interesting ideas, but with complete respect, I think the best "fix" Disney could do at this point would be to make less remakes, or even stop making them altogether and focus on original stories. I've found maybe only 1 or 2 of them have hit the mark.
