For the curious- one individual can be pinpointed as responsible for the vast majority of these recycled shots.
Wolfgang Reitherman was one of Disneys legendary Nine Old Men, and took over movie directing duties starting in the 1960s.
It should be noted though- recycling is not an accurate term here; properly it is called rotoscoping and it was Reithermans signature move in the same way the head swaggle was Milt Kahls signature move.
Reitherman was not one to take chances when it came to animation, if a shot worked, he stuck with it. However, it had nothing to do with time or money. As Disney Animator Floyd Norman put it- rotoscoping was neither cost effective or a time saver; in fact it could take longer and cost just as much to rotoscope an old sequence compared to coming up with new animation.
It simply came down to the fact that Wolfgang Reitherman liked using what worked; he preferred not to take chances with what animation could do. Hence, its no coincidence why the recycling was really prevalent between the 60s and 80s
In short- with the exception of Princess and the Frog and Beauty and the Beast, every film referenced here was one he had his hand in

There is one piece of recycled Disney animation I did notice even as a kid, and that's the pushing the fat character into the hole, in The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh and One Hundred and One Dalmatians. In which Pooh gets stuck in Rabbits home after eating too much honey and in 101 Dalmatians the fat dalmatian puppy gets stuck in the hole as Tibbs was trying to help him escape from Horace and Jasper.

I know this is a little late and probably not too noticeable, but there was another Bambi & Fox & The Hound scene that were recycled, Bambis version after the pheasant that was killed, there was another big pheasant-like bird that had feathers going everywhere, The Fox & The Hound version was kinda similar after Copper scares up some quails/ birds and Amos Slade shoots at them.

Aside from using familiar, recycled footage for animation sequences from past Disney films, it's also interesting to note how some of the voice actors also got involved more than once in those films too.
For example, the voice of Arthur in Sword in the Stone also voiced Mowgli in The Jungle Book.

101 Dalmatians & The Aristocats:
1) When the henchman is throwing darts at the cat.
2) When Edgar throws things at O'Malley.
3) Jasper's face when he gets hit with a club and holds hands on head.
4) When Edgar gets hit with hale bail, same expression, same head holding.

One of the reasons for recycling animation in those days was simply due to cost reasons. Especially when Disney slashed their animation budget to fund Disneyland. Even the quality of the animation went noticeably downhill by the 60s, as compared to the early films of the 30s and 40s.

The amount of reused frames between the Aristocats, the Jungle Book, Robin Hood, Sword in the Stone, 101 Dalmatians is astounding, and they go beyond even what is listed here (not to mention that Baloo, Little John, and Thomas OMalley the Alley Cat are all voiced by Phil Harris.

I think they are recycled because of the people sketching the scenes. In the old Disney Films people have to sketch every little movement. So they dont have to do the Work all ober again for a new movie, they used old Sketches and Put the new Characters on it

considering that animation wasn't cheap back in those days, it's understandable. plus if you have a winning formula, then it's a win-win situation. characters are allowed to have fun, and if that means dancing like an orangutang, the so be it

For the last comparison involving the Dance sequences in Robin Hood and the Jungle Book, some of those iconic moves are also seen in the Aristocats during Everybody wants to be a car. Particularly when Maid Marian and Dutchess are Dancing!

Poor Bambi's mother, I've lost count of how many times I've seen her running away from the hunter. Not just The jungle book, but other movies as well. The only one I can recall right now is Beauty and the beast but I know there's more.

I have an original cell from the Jungle Book running and taking scene with Baloo holding Mowgli at arms length and the monkey running forward. You used to be able to get cells very inexpensively at Disneyland in the 70s and early 80s.

The chase scene is my FAVORITE scene from Robin Hood, no doubt: P
Also here's one that should have been: when Scar (The Lion King) and Zira (The Lion King 2: Simba's Pride) end their song on the hill.

I just noticed yesterday while rewatching the Headless Horseman song from Sleepy Hollow (Ichabod and Mr Toad) that Katrina's face is completely Cinderella all over again, particularly when she laughs.

Also worth noting that when Arthur accidentally falls down with the crockery, Sirs Pellinore and Ector are seen laughing. Kings Stefan and Hubert were animated in the very same way in Sleeping Beauty

The thing is, that dance scene in Robin Hood apparently copied from Snow White, Jungle Book and Aristocats. I mean, just look at Maid Marian's dance moves - part Snow White, part Duchess.

Here's one some people might not know
In The Jungle Book, the scene where the Elephants crash into each other was recycled from a short from 1961 Goliath II. It's a short about Elephants

Number 6 also reminds me of Arthur when he's out looking for Kay's arrow in the beginning of The Sword and the Stone. Guess I'll have to go back and watch it to be sure. Darn.

Disney Animation thought that it would be profitable to do this. Nowadays, there is a 0% chance that Disney would do that in CGI because their budgets nowadays are high.

The Robin Hood scene is the most Infamous Recycle scene of the all. Plus that the song in that part is hard to take seriously when you can tell its most recycling.

Scenes were not only reused so often because they were so great, but also because back then, when it was still drawn by hand, everything was a hell lot of work.

I knew about some of these. Great list. Phil Harris did the voice of Baloo and Little John. Makes sense that they would use the same scene for both movies.

I'm guessing seeing Squirrel Arthur from Sword in the Stone reappear in Fox and the Hound leaping through the trees couldn't make the cut?

It was great to see somebody do a video to discuss about the recycled animations in Disney. I don't think I've seen any other studios do this.
