At Warner Bros., this practice was most frequently employed during the 1930s (the Great Depression era). It began to decline somewhat during the 1940s and, with Bob Clampett’s departue in 1946, its use fell drastically. By the 1960s, reusing animation was overshadowed by other cost-cutting methods. Yet, it was still used a few times during this decade.

A distinction should be made between reused animation and reused gags.

Elmer was simply drawn in over the animation of the black hunter, right down to the same body poses and facial expressions.
In fact, in Big Snooze the animation of Elmer Fudd checking the ground underneath him is rotoscoped of the black hunter doing the same thing.

I’d imagine as it progressed these complex scenes have become a way to tribute the previous films and work done on them as much as to cut costs.

The animation is truely beautiful. They don’t make ‘em like that anymore.

It would work to link the films together in the viewers subconscious and increase the sense of nostalgia that Disney often relies on to peddle their wares.

This makes me wonder if the choreography itself could be copyrighted? Anyone that maybe works in theater know how that might work?
