Usually, even if someone didn't see the "Disney" label on a movie, they'd be able to know immediately if it was done by Disney or not. While there are similarities all Disney's 2D animated movies share (often people will say the eyes), each film features a unique look. How do the animators keep coming up with these things? Do they just pick up the pencil and voila! It's Tarzan! Nah, that'd be too easy, right? ;) No. Very important to any sort of drawing, are reference photos.
Here's some quick examples: below are the Muses from "Hercules", inspired by the art found on Greek vases and urns, among the other art from Greece. And check out how they based the "Lion King"'s villain, Scar, from African art. Notice the similarities of the eyes. Cool, eh?
