Interestingly enough, when I saw Zootopia’s trailer, I thought “furry” even though I’ve never considered Robin Hood, Lion King, or even Kung Fu Panda furry movies. (It was probably the explanation of what anthropomorphic animals are that did it.)
I think that Zootopia might be more seriously furry than Robin Hood because the storytellers did a bit more worldbuilding. From what I remember of Robin Hood, it seemed more like humans being illustrated as animals, the same as a show like Arthur. In those shows, no one seemed to notice that other characters were different species, at least not seriously. It seemed to be more of a way to set different characters apart so people wouldn’t get them mixed up. (I am guessing Kung Fu Panda may also count as a furry movie.) Shows like Lion King, Fox and the Hound, and Secret of NIMH are not ones I’d consider furry since the animals are more on the feral side. (I think my definition of a furry movie would be one where the animals are no longer acting or living like animals, but are much closer to being humans with animal characteristics, and it would also be a world where the humans are either gone or, if they do exist, not oblivious to the fact that the animals are obviously not acting like animals should act.)
Also, an interesting note is that sheep, at least the ones in Zootopia, appear to be domestic.
