1) At the time that the earlier movies:
Cinderella, Snow White, the Jungle Book,and maybe the
Aristocats and
Robin Hood were made, the painstakingly hand drawn animation cells were largely discarded after use-this is how some of them came to be in the hands of collectors, before there was an industry built up around animation type art that had never been used in cartoons at all, ala the Chuck Jones Gallery, and the Disney Store.
2) They were painstakingly hand-drawn. Often by the same people, though, so, if the plot called for a dancing scene, it stands to reason that they'd use some of the same, familiar sequences:if you had to draw 8 or 9 thousand frames for one dance scene, and then had to do it again, wouldn't you? :lol:
3) The later movies(
Beauty and the Beast) were at least partly computer animated-and, c'mon, a waltz is a waltz, and a ballroom is a ballro
om......
4) The stories were all different, and it's the stories that make the movie.
So the people who had to crank out literally thousands of drawings-each only a little different from the other, often used similar sequences for different movies, so what?-it's not like they could have just taken those same cells and redrawn them with new characters, because they'd usually been thrown away, and that would have been just as difficult as drawing them from scratch anyway-if not more so.
And it's not like the
Jungle Book is Robin Hood, or Robin Hood is the
Aristocats, is it? :lol:

Wow. That's so disheartening.
[Wow. That's so not a big deal at all.....
.....when you consider repeatedly watching the Roadrunner and Coyote run past the same desert vista in one sequence of a cartoon, or the Flintstones walking or running past the same picture on the wall three or four times in the same sequence, etc., etc., etc.....I mean, it's
animation, which, once upon a time, required literally hundreds of people cranking out thousands of drawings.....
Interesting, though......
