He began working for Walt Disney Productions in 1933, along with future Disney legends Ward Kimball and Milt Kahl. The three worked together on a number of classic Walt Disney Animation Studios shorts.

Reitherman directed several Disney animated feature films including: One Hundred and One Dalmatians (1961), The Sword in the Stone (1963), The Jungle Book (1967), The Aristocats (1970), Robin Hood (1973), The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh (1977) and The Rescuers (1977).
