As I've said before, the original Disney Renaissance, which ran from 1989 to 1999 was the rebirth of Disney animation after the issues it had during the 70's and 80's because of Walt Disney's death. And so after disappointment of the Black Cauldron they had to not only release films not only much better, but also faster to make up for it. And the Little Mermaid came out 4 years later after the release of the films The Great Mouse Detective and Oliver & Company. So when the Little Mermaid came out, everyone loved it and it was a hit both at the box-office and critics. It began the Disney Renaissance which means it was a reinvention of the original Disney animation and soon afterwards other films followed which were just as good like Beauty and the Beast, Aladdin and the Lion King. Though because of films like Pocahontas it started to become a little unpopular. Don't get me wrong, there were films that were successful at the box-office and by critics but none of them were praised as much as the Little Mermaid, Beauty and the Beast, Aladdin or the Lion King. And after Tarzan ended it, they quality began to become hit or miss from films that were good like Lilo and Stitch, mixed like Treasure Planet or despised like Brother Bear. And after the film Home of the Range, which is one of the most hated Disney Classics ever, Disney decided to no longer do any hand-drawn. So after 5 years of C.G.I Disney Classics like Chicken Little, The Wild, Meet The Robinsons and Bolt, John Lasseter became chairmen of Disney and decided to bring hand-drawn animation back to Disney and had John Musker and Ron Clements direct it. That was The Princess and the Frog and as you all know I love that movie and was a success by critics but wasn't the hit they wanted at the box-office s they did another C.G.I Disney Classic and that was Tangled. That was also a box-office and critic hit and the same for the following classics, Wreck-It Ralph, Frozen and Big Hero 6. And so, since The Princess and the Frog came out, a lot of people, including myself, have all said that a new Disney Renaissance has begun. Sorry for this part being so long, I just wanted to give you all some history on Disney before I started. So here we go. These are the 5 new Disney Renaissance Classics ranking including The Princess and the Frog, Tangled, Wreck-It Ralph, Frozen and Big Hero 6.
5. Tangled: Not that this is bad, in fact it is a great film but I just think that it's the lowest of the new Disney Renaissance. There are too many things to like in this that keep it away from being considered bad. The C.G.I at the time was the best of any of the Disney Classics before it. The characters as well are all likeable. It also has a really creepy and dark feel to it and a lot of that has to do with the villain, Mother Gothel. I especially love seeing Maximus and Pascal. Those 2 are some of my favourite Disney characters ever.
4. Wreck-It Ralph: I'm kind of sad to have this here but there are 3 others that are better than it. But, with that said, I still love this movie. The characters are all memorable and lovable, the animation is some of the best I've ever seen in my life, the story is extremely creative and original and the moral is actually delved into a little bit more than other movies that have the same message. It also a movie a l of people, including me, hope will be in Kingdom Hearts 3. It also has an awesome climax between Ralph and Turbo on top of Diet-Cola mountain.
3. Big Hero 6: This film, before it came out, was definitely one of the most oddest but also hyped up in history. And when I say oddest, I mean there was stuff about it everywhere like there was with Frozen. Not as much, but still, and then when the reviews came out and showed it was said to be spectacular, I knew I was in for something amazing. And I was. The things that are amazing in this are too many to count. It has one of my favourite Disney characters ever with Baymax, a suspenseful climax, a fun story and it's a Marvel and Disney film. What's not to love? It's just amazing, and I'm excited to see what they do with it in Kingdom Hearts 3.
2. Frozen: The highest-grossing animated film of all time of course has to be either first place or close to first place. Every one adores this film and yeah, it isn't hard to see why. Not only was it the second animated film in history to get over a billion dollars at the box-office but it also has perfect animation, loveable characters, one of the funniest Disney characters ever, a great story, breath taking special effects and one of the biggest Disney twists ever. Just the climax in the storm is just enough to entertain anyone. Even when the music gets started, not child can resist but sing a long when they get started. And as much as I could praise this film for hours, there's still 1 more I must talk about.
1. The Princess and the Frog: I can't count how many times I've said this was one of my favourite Disney films ever. I don't even entirely know why I love this movie. Just the characters and the music and the songs and the animation and the story and the dialog and the acting and the pacing and the directing is all perfect. I love the look of this movie too. The characters are some of the best Disney characters ever in my opinion. The journey as well is fun to watch. Sure, I know it's not the best, but in my opinion, it's the best of all the Classics of the new Disney Renaissance.
