This will blow your mind! 

Apparently Disney animators used to re-use movements from a lot of their old scenes from various other movies. The technique is called rotoscoping and was used to help cut costs when cartoons relied on armies of human animators! 

The style of animation was first used to help animators capture scenes with movement, like Sleeping Beauty dancing or Alice in Wonderland talking to a doorknob. Animators would trace or draw their scenes from live-action footage of similar movements. But the technique was also used to help stay within budgetary constraints on later features.

Wow - did you ever pick up on this??
