Yeah, yeah, I know. Boldest instance of reusing art yet. I’ve been spending the last couple of days playing with Windows 7 (the release candidate, haven’t been able to afford an actual upgrade).
To quote my favorite philosopher, “Don’t take life too seriously, you’ll never get out of it alive.”
There’s nothing wrong with recycling artwork. Just about every comic artist in the classic newspaper strips did it, and Walt Disney filed every pencil sketch and re-used them later. There’s a dance scene in ROBIN HOOD (1973) lifted almost exactly from SNOW WHITE (1937). About the only one I know of who knocked out astounding original artwork every day was Walt Kelly, and I don’t think anyone will ever know how he did what he did on a daily deadline basis….
