[Michael Gary Scott]

Lion King, Little Mermaid, Beauty and the Beast Aladdin?

obviously cheesy with insipid music, but well produced.

[K1stpierre]

Still one of my favorite Disney movies, in the top 3. A+++

[Lordmandeep]

Legendary story, great songs that still are now classics.

 

 

There is a reason why this is one of the most famous animation films ever.

I'm probably ignorant for asking this, but what are the Disney's Big 4?

 

 

Lion King, Little Mermaid, Beauty and the Beast Aladdin?

 

Yeah, those are the Big 4 of the Renaissance All of them are great (even though I haven't seen TLM since I was six.)

Jungle Book I think is a big favorite as well?

For shame, Blank, for shame Yeah, I can see why those are the Big Four. Love love love all of them.

It is a big fave, but that's pre-Renaissance (which lasted from Little Mermaid to Tarzan)

[Blankments]

For shame, Blank, for shame

 

Hey, I was going to rewatch about two years ago, but then they announced the 3D re-release and I was going to wait until then!

IMO, Dinosaur and Lilo and Stitch were great movies that should be included in the renaissance period.

No it has nothing to do with the quality of the film, it has to do with the time period the films came out in and the style they're in. Dinosaur and Lilo & Stitch are completely different in tone than the films in the Renaissance, regardless on the quality of film itself.

Oh thanks for explaining that to me. :)Anyway, The Lion King is easily the best animated film of the 90's.

My mom had a cat named Simba after seeing this film :PAnyway love this film and the music and voices are great. Seems like after this film the next few animated films were not that good, but I think it was because they had so much pressure after this.A+

Yup. The Disney Renaissance is considered to be from The Little Mermaid to Tarzan. As most of the films after that break from the traditional Disney mold of animation musicals (though Tarzan does it through Phil Collins songs and not the actual characters themselves), at least until Tangled.

 

Great animated film BTW, a classic. A.

Obviously? I disagree completely.

 

I think it is the perfect form of being emotional without being cheesy. Imho Lion King is one of the best examples of how to hit that note.

[Omario]

One of the best animations ever. So glad i finally got to watch it on the big screen in 3D.

One of the best animated films. One of the best epic films. The greatest epic animated film. Top 20 of American animated films. Top 5 of Disney animated films.

A+

I must be one of the few people that really dislikes this film.   And I am a huge Disney animation fan.

 

I didn't really like the music and I hated the characters and it was hugely predictable. 

 

Did Simba ever take an action on his own free will?  Everything he did was because someone else told him what to do.  Weakest Disney main character ever.

 

I actually like the direct to DVD sequels better.
