Disney studio uses tracing on a regular basis. I wasn't aware of the re-used/traced animations in Robin Hood, but the Lilo and Stitch dvd has bonus content that basically shows how the studio did the opening dance scene, and they basically traced the entire thing from video they took of a group of Hawaiian dancers.
Robin Hood is still a nostalgic favorite of mine, since I always really liked the color and the look of the characters (though I heartily agree on the 'meh'ness of the plot in hindsight, as a kid that really wasn't noticeable/didn't matter to me). Sure it's flawed, but personally I think the Black Cauldron was a lot worse; Tim Burton is great and all, but wow was that film one giant, creepy trip. o_o
