Well, wait, that's not recycled footage.

Looks pretty damn similar to me.

If it was good once it will be good another 15 times

Animation is really hard, and in the 70s Disney was really poor. This was very educational.

So how does this work? they save money by not having to do whatever the old school version of motion capture was??

I remember seeing some of these similarities as a kid. I chalked it down to "I guess I am just noticing the 'Disney style'". I'm fairly sure the 70's/80's saw a lot of rotoscoping as well (but if you know what you're doing, such as Bakshi, the technique is nothing to be disgusted over) The close up of the hands/paws clapping should be forgiven imo. I mean...cut the poor animators a little break.

Very much enjoyed the French version of the yodeling song from Snow White.

this is basically rotoscoping, they saved time and animation money because by basically just painting over cells from different movies instead of blocking and animating whole new action sequences, which is really fucking hard

If you're going to reuse dance sequences, at least base them on this:

Robin Hood was one of Disney's lowest-budget movies, as it was coming at a time when the studio was hemorrhaging money like crazy. It's kind of an open sequence that they ripped themselves off in order to complete it.

This was also the first movie they made after Walt died, and upon his death the studio had split into little directorial fiefdoms with no one clear direction. In other words, Disney was pretty fucked at the time.

THOSE FUCKS RIPPED OFF _ARISTOCATS_?????!?

nice find, but you can probably note the same behavior in plots for films of recent release

-1 for the french yodeling madness

in a just universe, we would be vacationing at fleischerland and fleischerworld

It's more a re-use of timing sheets and tracing than it is recycling. Still, i noticed this as a kid and i just put it down to using the same way of solving a problem or a bit of a signature.

Robin Hood seems nothing else than proto-furry wank material. Thanks a lot, Internet.

Honestly, I loved Robin Hood as a kid. That having been said, in retrospect, I believe it was one of the factors that led to the furry movement gaining momentum. I'm saddened every time I think of how someone is jerking off to my childhood memories.

... as for the clip, huh, that IS interesting!

All undertaken by the same director Wolfgang Reitherman who singlehandedly helmed all Disney's animated films from "101 Dalmatians"(1961) untill "The Rescuers"(1977). He was also a key animator in all the original films prior to that. I believe in Robin Hood and Rescuers they would average about 30-40 percent retooled stuff. But Bedknobs and Broomsticks is probably more given it's only partly animated.
