Same animation in 'Sword' -- but with Wart walking down a patch and throwing a stick.

Originally Posted By FerretAfros I knew about Bambi's mom being in practically everything (Bambi's mom is to Disney what John Ratzenberg is to Pixar!), but the other ones were somewhat surprising. Bambi's mom looked so out of place in the Jungle Book (very clean lines and cute flowers stick out even more when she pops up after an hour of the sketchy look), that it was really obvious that's who it was the first time I saw it. I had heard about her in Sword in the Stone, but this was the first chance I had to really check her out. In the other roles, she seems to be minor enough that she's more scenery than an actual character, so I don't think it's too bad. I believe Fantasia also has a lot of other reused stuff. The leaves in Nutcracker Suite seem to make appearances at other points, as do the splashes of water that Mickey conducts in the dream sequence of Sorcer's Apprentice (heck, that's even copied in Fantasia at the end of Toccata and Fugue in D Minor). The whole chase scene out of Mr Toad really surprised me, but it did always seem a little weird how they were handing Mowgli off like that. I'm a little surprised that he didn't include the most famous example of this: Snow White dancing with the Dwarves used as Maid Marion in Robin Hood....

There's a lot more. Page 3 has several examples of reusing the same drawings in the same movie (often in the same frame) by moving them, reversing them, and/or changing the size.

Interesting. I did not recall the Jungle/Toad one. Bambi's mom... aren't they putting her on IASW?

They wanted to include her in the attraction, but decided it would be smarter to educate guests on the foods of the world, rather than the actual cultures.

The cartoon also uses Friend Owl from Bambi, the owl in the Headless Horseman segment of Ichabod and Mr. Toad, and Tic-Toc the crocodile from Peter Pan. Incidentally, the tiger's name is Rajah...

Now years later in the Disney special "Lambert The Sheepish Lion" they use this same animation again where from Lambert's P.O.V., the wolf is coming toward him. Even the drool is dripping exactly the same way as it was in "Peter and the Wolf"
Originally Posted By Jim in Merced CA ^^^I remember that one too, CuriousWolfSo. It seems like the there's a wolf in 'Sword in the Stone' that is used from a previous movie.
