In reply to Q-A the Authoress. Actually not anymore because Disney announced this week they will have an animated feature released November 2019.

Really nice article, Jonathan! What I find interesting about this era is that it shows how a movie cannot stand completely alone. Yes, it needs to be good in itself, but to be a massive billion-dollar hit, it needs a little help. A sequence of good movies created a momentum that restored people’s faith in the studio and allowd for succes to snowball past the billion dollar box office mark. (Winnie the Pooh being the oddball. I believe because everyone is used to the franchise coming out in direct-to-video, so nobody really noticed it).

Ok top three best movies from this era of today…..”Big Hero 6″, “Wreck-It Ralph” and “Zootopia”. Worst, sorry, but a tie between “Tangled” and “Frozen” which I’ll get to later.

In reply to aquapyro. The turning point between these two eras is clearly Lasseter and co. taking over the animation studio. And he is on record as taking credit for Bolt, but not for Robinsons (despite any contributions he might have made to that film.)

I appreciate this era- with the exception of Frozen (which presented a more negative view) , I think this was Disney going back to its roots, and heralding all sorts of animated movies from the classic fairytale to the anthropomorphized animals, the light and fun to the more dark and serious. Exploring the worlds of superheroes and videogames, and this variety is something both Renaissance and Post Renaissance were lacking. I would love if Disney would produce more Hand Drawn films, but their CGI really has become an art form of its own so I can be happy for that 🙂

In reply to Rachel Wagner. Good luck. Also spread the news the majority of the original Big Hero 6 voice cast are returning for the TV show including Ryan Potter, Jamie Chung, Alan Tyduk and Maya Rudolph. But Damon Waynes Jr or TJ Miller won't be back. PS you already know what I thought of Frozen anyway.

In reply to Manuel Orozco. Cool. I have the Frozen review so that is going to be a lot of fun

In reply to Manuel Orozco. Honestly, it is not really that different from the countless DisneyToon additions from the last decade story-wise.

In reply to Landon Kemp. Tangled isn't great but I recommend still watch it while you still can.
