I hope someone thinks this is as aweosme as I do.

But while reading, start requiem for a dream, finish up that page, and open the second page in a new tab/window (So requiem for a dream is still playing, and that minute or so of extra reading has gotten you to some awesomely dramatic part.)

Then turn the sound down on the Disney reused clips, so you're watching those with requiem for a dream as the sound track.

It makes it seem so much more intense and sinister. It's awesome.

Also, like...I don't know animation intimately well, but it seems like repainting some of those scenes would be just as easy as redrawing em. Like...making one bear into another bear, yeah, but Maid Marion into Snow White seems waaaaaay more complicated then it's worth.

Also, the thing about reusing name brand intrigues me a lot. Because what happens when a name brand becomes important to a series (Like say, Oceanica Airlines), and then is like...every where else?

Does that imply that, say, the X-files and that 70's show are the same universe because they both have Morley cigarettes? (No, but the thought really freakin amuses me.)

I think with the animation, it's not that they strictly repainted each animation cel, that would actually be difficult. But they probably pulled out the old original sketches and traced them because the poses and timing were already laid out. And then made new animation cels from the revised sketches.
