Robin Hood, the twenty-first animated film released by Walt Disney Studios, premiered on November 8, 1973. It was the first feature the studio released that had no creative input from Disney himself, who died in 1966, and had many Hollywood insiders doubting the ability of the studio to carry on without him. The success or failure of this one production would make or break the most successful animation studio in U.S. history.
With so much at stake, it is amazing that the studio had allotted such a small budget to the production. To save money, the animators were ordered to recycle animation cells from previous films. These cells could be amended, touched up, and re-colored, allowing new characters to perform old routines. Specifically, the song-and-dance sequence for “The Phony King of England” used cells from The Jungle Book, The Aristocats, and Snow White. Moreover, the animation cells of Baloo in The Jungle Book were used to animate Little John, while Robin Hood’s cells were originally those used for Peter Pan. The sequences involving the snake Sir Hiss and his hypnotizing of King John are recycled cells used for Kaa in The Jungle Book.

Aladdin is the multi-award-winning feature from Walt Disney Pictures. Released to rave reviews in 1992, Aladdin was the thirty-first animated feature released by Disney Studios. It was released at the peak of the Disney renaissance that had begun with the release of The Little Mermaid. It was the most successful movie of 1992, earning over $217 million domestically and $504 million worldwide.
The film was based on the collection of stories gathered by various authors over centuries, famously translated by Richard Francis Burton, known collectively as The One Thousand and One Nights. Also known as The Arabian Nights, this source material includes the story of Aladdin, a beggar boy living in a Chinese city, who is recruited by an evil sorcerer to retrieve a magic lamp from a perilous cave. Rounding out the story are fundamentals taken from The Thief of Baghdad (1940). Indeed, many of the characters and plot elements were altered, including moving the Chinese city of the source material to the fictional Arabian city of Agrabah.

While some amateur craftsmen as well as professionals believe they have found the best woodworking tools available, the debate over which equipment is best will probably continue for years to come. Especially among the less-experienced amateurs and hobbyists, there is still a question about which tools are best for stocking the efficient workshop. Professionals in the woodworking and building fields quickly answer by listing the company names and models of the items they prefer.
Yet, there are many quality brands from both old-line, classic companies and some that have entered the field more recently but produce excellent tools and equipment. Some tools are ideal for the less experienced worker while professionals may choose from heavy-duty, commercial versions of the same type of tool.
