The reuse of animation on Disney movies was nothing to compare to what Ralph Bakshi did.

I believe in "Illusion of Life" they concede that they did this and even suggest it as a cost-cutting technique.<br /><br />But there are way bigger swipes than these in the early Disney shorts. Large portions of "Skeleton Dance" are repeated in a Mickey short ("Haunted House" I believe) and the famous Pluto flypaper sequence is repeated in Donald's "Beach Picnic" (They are certainly lucky Donald had the foresight to bring a pad of flypaper to the beach!)<br /><br />These re-uses don't even involve redrawing the action for a new character.
