[on
Wolfgang Reitherman and his frequent recycling of old animation] I detest the use of-it just breaks my heart to see animation from
Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (1937) used in
The Rescuers (1977). It kills me, and it just embarrasses me to tears. I went back to Florida with Woolie for a party for the wire services and the press for
Robin Hood (1973). And I met a guy who about twenty years ago I met at a friend's house; he was with Paramount at the time, a publicity man. His name was Emory Wister; he worked for the Charlotte Register. He is a Disney buff, an animation buff. And these guys always scare me, because they know more about the pictures than I do. And he recognized this goddamned animation, where Maid Marian is dancing around with little creatures; he recognized it from Snow White. This is our Woolie, and it drives me crazy.
