ITT: People who don't understand that this isn't a ranking of the movies.
danishjuggler21
Right?
vatvatvat
funfact: Treasure planet was the their most expensive and most money spent project. i think it was cus it was their first 3d 2d collage film
sistermaryclarenceIII
and it was still god awful
vatvatvat
what was your favorite?
TheActualDonKnotts
The day I got stuck watching Wreck It Ralph turned into a wonderful surprise. That movie is freakin' great.

The experimental era's first movie. The butterfly one. What is that? How come i dont know it? Didney!

Fantasia 2000

Fuck you. I like Fox and the Hound.

it's chronological you fool
StoltzasaurusRex
Thank you for clarifying. I couldn't tell from the dates.
Startrekker95
When I was growing up, Atlantis was my favorite Disney movie, the historical/sci-fi combination was aligned so well with what I was into.
MasterKatarn
Still is one of my favorite Disney movies. It's an absolutely fantastic movie. The soundtrack the characters, the story the world. All great
DoublevBomb
I don't care what era you're from, as long as you make for a good gameplay section in Kingdom Hearts.

So where in here does “Song of the South” fall?
IsButtHurtACarb
The DARK ages
Br0doSwaggins
I'm pretty sure Disney wants everybody to forget about that movie.
rhubarbarian
Also the Three Caballeros. But both are live action/animation hybrids, so they don't really fit in with the others.
jollybitx
It came out in 1946. It's that one we don't talk about between the golden and silver ages
DiracsDelta
Fantasia (and 2000 to a much lesser extent) is the greatest creation to ever come out of Disney. Just my opinion.
MasterKatarn
Dat Chernabog part though, holy damn. Badass
DiracsDelta
But goddamn, do I love those dark ages films.
derschweiz
You’re going to try to tell me that the Fox and the Hound is in the motherfucking Dark Ages? Get the fuck out.
Wabbadabba
So take out the cute fox and dog and replace it with literally anything else. It's an awful, dark story
DrewSf29
I hope you mean awfully dark, not awful and dark. cause that movie was great and dark.
JokeDestroyer
It's got nothing to do with the film quality, you potato.
Dman626
Aye, I was surprised too. But ya gotta think about all the violence that goes on in that movie. It has some very depressing scenes.
DaCrazyBeggar
Its economic timeframes not a rating or status you daft nut. Disney films weren't making much money in the dark age.
DaCrazyBeggar
I'm just shaking my head at all the idiots in the comments who think this is a rating system, do they not see the years?
sirsaltalot
Bitch what da FUCK u calling the Dark age
randomgibberish
The time period where the movies were thematically darker and also they didn't make as much money? Still good movies...
nosbled
I was raised during the Renaissance which might be the reason why I love those movies; the score, story, the essence, animation!
IveGotGas
Same. Now, even as a strait adult male w/o kids, I'm collecting them. These were, and still are, some of the most memorable movies for me.
IveGotGas
I would argue Tarzan should fall under experimental. They used and tested the boundaries of new cg techniques seen thereafter.
Pinewood74
Tarzan made good money so it gets to be in the renaissance Experimental is really "Box Office bust age"
nosbled
the formula for the Renaissance was that they're based off of old legends and tales, so I guess it fits. I see your point though!
CarrionLugganja
Fox n hound was some dark shit
BxP1337
The Aristocats is the best Disney movie.
LeeroyTheBird
Not sure about the "best," but still pretty damn good.

ImHereFortheTittiesandKitties
The experimental was one of my favorites. But Oliver and Company was dark ages? Makes me sad
Dunes8
Though Disney had financial troubles before its "Dark Age". It's mostly why Robin Hood has some recycled animation.
MasterAirbender
Oliver and Company was an awesome movie.. deserves way more credit than it got.
ImAFoxButNotReally
It's too 80's. And it shows. Other movies that became classics are more timeless.

For the longest time, I only remembered that move for the poodle, Georgette. No idea why, of everyone, she left the biggest impact on me

FirecrackerTNT
I 100% agree, I loved that movie.
Mohawklynx
Also if not for it, Disney wouldn't have purchased their CAPS computer system, and the reinassiance would not have happened.
thesixthcourier
Good movie, but I can't watch it because of the scene where the all the kittens get taken out of the cardboard box except Oliver, and then>
thesixthcourier
it rains the box fills up/breaks. I know it gets better for him, but it reminds me of all the kitties it doesn't get better for, and I cry.
Kitbash
It's also got one of the saddest songs ever sang by Huey Lewis.
jarjarbinksisthesithlord
So much this. I find myself unable and unwilling to rewatch Disney movies that made me very sad as a child. I haven't seen Oliver (1)
jarjarbinksisthesithlord
and Company since I was smol (2)
BippityBoppityBoomshakalaka
“Experimental” is a kind way of saying “corporate failing in trying to figure out a strategy to compete against Pixar”.
IveGotGas
Not to mention the influx of other major studio's new CG departments who also were/are trying to compete with Pixar.
Rosie2003
Except Disney owns Pixar
BippityBoppityBoomshakalaka
Disney bought Pixar in 2006, so many of the films from that era and slightly beyond were produced in competition.
Orion1189
AFIK, every feature length film Pixar has ever made was a Disney film, so while they didn't own Pixar, they weren't in competition either.
BippityBoppityBoomshakalaka
Although Pixar partnered with Disney for distribution, they were creatively and corporately separate until 2006.
Orion1189
Right, but that's not competition. Disney directly benefited financially from their production and release. They were Disney movies.
RampantWolf
Princess and the frog in revival when it should be experimental like it was. Being the first hand drawn in years but it wasn't received well

I saw Princess and the Frog 7 times in theaters with my best friend. We LIVED for that movie

Nah, it marks the return of Disney going back to its princess/fairy tale roots and more classic storytelling, as opposed to the

weird stuff that was they tried during experimental
shhep
Experimental? Nah. It was the last dying ember of golden age. The last traditionally animated blockbuster Disney movie.
shhep
Experimental/revival would be Flash animation like (don't hurt me), Ponies, which now results in quality shit like new Duck Tales.
TardWrangl3r
I received it well.

Genuinely my favourite Disney Princess movie and so beautifully animated. I still believe lack of advertising failed that film.

Metallica93
The Big 3 were Disney, Dreamworks, and Pixar, right? I think Pixar was its own thing before Disney bought them? I'd like to see that chart.
NotMyUsualOnlineName
Pixar started as part of Lucasfilm, was spun out as an independent company (with funding from Apple). Disney bought them 20 years later.
Metallica93
Holy shit. That's quite the history there. Thanks!
NotMyUsualOnlineName
1986-2006 they were independent, but didn't do a full-length movie until Toy Story in 1995. WALL-E is their only full-length movie that's
NotMyUsualOnlineName
not 100% CG, since it has a little bit of live action in it.
EverydayIdleness
The CG stuff is hardly a revival. It's more of a backsliding.
DaCrazyBeggar
Its economic timeframes not a rating or status.
thraxcres
New princesses characters ideas. Its a revival in the genere
ShooterMcGrabbin
Yeah, maybe I'm a cartoon hipster or something but those classic hand drawn animations are just the best.
Ilyiia
Hence golden and silver age!
chugeknight
Silver Age was the height when the animators developed the philosophies that made the work stand out. That era work is better than Renn era.
JugOfVoodoo
This is not a ranked list. It's not calling the movies "good" or "bad". The eras refer to the public's reaction at the time.
afriendinneedsafriendindeedafriendwithmemesisbetter
Okay but it's still missing a ton of movies that invalidate the eras. Finding Nemo and Monsters Inc in early 2000s but Bolt is there
OneOfUsOneOfUs
They left out Pixar films.
DarthKaiser
Finding Nemo and Monsters Inc. were Pixar Studio Animation (with affiliation with Disney), whereas Bolt was strictly Disney Animation
DaCrazyBeggar
Amazing how many idiots here don't seem to be able to read numbers or understand the concept of "ages"
NihonJinLover
I don’t understand it. What does it mean? Why are they classified as different eras? What significance does the name of each era have?
DaCrazyBeggar
For exampleduring the golden age Disney raked in a lot of money, the movies were popular and critically acclaimed 1/2
DaCrazyBeggar
during the Dark age Disney didn't make a lot of money, the public perception wasn't that great either.

Black Cauldron almost drove Disney into the ground. It tanked so bad that the company struggled to come back from it.
Ryebread91
I didn't know either. Ain't kidding around naming it the dark age.
TheGiggityGuy
I just rewatched it last night. First time since I was a kid. It’s pretty hardcore for a Disney movie.
TheDeathstick
It was the first PG-rated Disney animated movie, and according to IMDB had to be edited twice to avoid a PG-13.
MrDrMuffinPants
I actually watched it for the first time last night, I completely forgot it was a disney movie till the end credits.
HighlandPotatoe
Some asshat at the studio removed a bunch of footage from the film last minute
skallagrim
supposedly it included an infant's reanimated corpse, and mild nudity, as well as the shadow of a villager getting impaled. got an R rating
ThisisMyNewestFunUsername
Do these scenes exist anywhere or are they lost forever to the cutting room floor?
HighlandPotatoe
Most likely a Disney vault somewhere. It's said someone important at Disney has a full black and white version
ObscureStarWarsReference
There was a Sierra adventure game based on the movie. It was fun, hmm may need to head off to the internet archives and play it again...
rhubarbarian
The adventure game was what got me interested in the books. You couldn't buy the movie for years; I didn't see it until I was like 20.
FrigginCornflakes
The only thing I remember was dying repeatedly trying to climb the ivy up the castle wall. But, that's a Sierra adventure game for ya!
PedroBenecol
It was somewhat different to the other Sierra games back then.
IntrovertHentaiAddict
It's the Dark Souls of Disney films.

Someone needs to make a Band of Brothers type series for Chronicles of Prydain. There’s too many mini adventures in the books for movies.

If you haven't read the books they are very good. The movie doesn't do them justice at all.
VenDei
And "the books" slaughter mythology of Wales, so it's all fine.
wilgarr
Alexander was very open that he was inspired by Welsh mythos, but it wasn't meant to be a retelling.

You should look into a good retelling of the Mabinogi, though. And then marvel how he made such a delightful, light and fun story of it.
