This dog’s uncanny ability to distinguish a snack from any old rubbish is next level stuff
Dogs’ hearing is – Google, Google – around four times more sensitive than human ears, plus, they can hear a lot of higher frequency sounds, obviously. And if you ever doubted just how much better they are than us at distinguishing one sound from another, watch this. It’s a dog whose uncanny ability to distinguish […]

This side-by-side comparison of Jungle Book and Winnie the Pooh is blowing minds
the poke - 3 weeks ago
Well here’s something we never knew before and by the likes of all those views, we’re not the only ones.
It’s a side-by-side comparison of these scenes from two Disney classics, Jungle Book and Winnie the Pooh and it went viral because, well, probably best you watch it for yourself.
The Jungle Book came out in 1967 and Winnie The Pooh – actually, The Many Adventures Of Winnie The Pooh – came out 10 years later – and it was a handy way of helping reduce costs in the hugely expensive animation business.
Here’s just a flavour of the confusion (and more) it generated on Twitter.
So… Mowgli and Christopher Robin… Are the same person??? … And they both are friends with a bear???
There was a lot of reused animation back then. Robin Hood (1973) even reused animation from Snow White, a film that was 36-years-old by that point pic.twitter.com/xOgfbZhtOM
Congratulations you have just discovered that animation is hard to produce plus time consuming and that on screen is what happens when you run out of time to do a shot
