Captain Morgan on Yehoodi.com posted that there are some very telling similarities between a dance scene in "Toy Story 3" and a clip of dancers at the Ultimate Lindy Hop Showdown from 2006. The dancers in the ULHS clip are Todd Yannacone and Frida Segerdahl. Watching the two clips together, it's hard to imagine the inspiration coming from anywhere else.
But if it isn't totally obvious, I decided to mash up the two videos using the fantastic YoutubeDoubler service, which you can see here.
After the jump are some more pics of how much the two videos match up shot by shot.
Here's Woody and Jessie and Todd and Frida prepping to do the same aerial move.
Woody and Todd both throw their partners over their back here:
And here's both of them doing the same flip over move in virtually the same angle and body position:
Finally here's Woody and Todd finishing in virtually the same position:
Any questions?
Pretty cool 🙂
I also recognized Todd and Frida’s spotlight, good idea to merge them together.
Wow, thats’ cool! Todd and Frida should get some compensation for that though, don’t you think?
I was wondering about the back story behind the Toy Story clip that’s been reposted. it just seemed so real and accurate that it had to be modeled on someone.
Another great post.
Pew pew! Nice job. Your hard facts what we all know to be true: ULHS 2006 is the root of everything.
