Balto and Simba's Eyes?

I was watching a video on youtube, and I noticed that Simba's eyes are almost exactly like Balto's!

Look!

Yeah, they lack creativity. It has nothing to do with the fact that eyes can only be so many different colors or anything else important (like character). :roll:

Well, they were probably created by the same animation team so of course their eyes are gonna be similiar.

they might be made by the same animators but i kind of doubt it because the only things that look the same are the eyes

How many cartoon eyes have you looked at?
Specifically older animated movies/TV shows.

There are generally 3 styles of cartoon eyes:

Ones like Balto and TLK
Ones with just a black pupil and the white
One with just the black pupil and a flat colour with no white.

You'd actually expect people who make these movies would give the characters a rainbow of different coloured eyes or try and animate the eyes to constantly look like this - http://www.buytaert.net/cache/images-mi ... 00x500.jpg ?
Hand drawn animation no less...even in 3D they don't always make eyes look super detailed and it's still generally those same 4 colours.

"Lack of creativity", pfft.

Oh wow. Blue eyes. That must mean that Faline is a copy from Angel! Or something!

Well gee whiz. It's not like, yknow, there's a limited number of colors & shapes in which to draw an eye! Who cares about the big picture? If two characters/peoples' eyes are vaguely similar, one of them must be a copy...! Somethin' WEIRD'S goin' on here!
:roll:

Sorry, I don't see the significance of comparing animated characters *eyes* alone, let alone acting like it's such a big deal

PS; Yknow, some people say I have my mommy's eyes... *bats eyelashes*
