Ollie & Frank neglected to mention this little tidbit. You'll have to follow the link in this to get at more pictures, and I wish my Russian was good enough to offer a translation, but apparently the good folks at Disney would occasionally re-use animation, probably to save time and money.
Posted by Jason at April 24, 2006 07:14 PMThis Russian website documents, with frame grabs, some of the many times Disney animators recycled animation from one film into another. I'd love to see an expanded version of this listing (in English). Missing from this Russian post are the numerous appearances of the whirlpool from the "Sorcerer's Apprentice" sequence in Fantasia and the windblown weed from The Old Mill.
