Fun post ... except as one of the comments to the article points out ... it's definitely not "Snow White" borrowing from "Robin Hood" ... but very much the other way around! (given that "Robin" was made after Walt's death ... some 40 years after the original animated feature ... "Snow White.") More likely that later features "borrowed" from earlier features ... don'cha'think? Seriously ... I've not sure about the "Beauty" ballroom scene borrowing choreography from "Cinderella" ... but there's no question that the finale waltz between Belle and her transformed prince uses the same moves as Aurora and Philip's "dance in the clouds" in "Sleeping Beauty" ... up to and including the kiss at the end. But I guess I've always seen that as more of a tribute to the earlier film as much as anything. The one that really borrows ... pretty shamelessly ... is "Robin Hood" ... in which the "Snow White" choreography is copied almost frame for frame. (not that there's anything wrong with that ...)
