Haha, sorry Spirit! I just really don’t like that movie! I actually would rather watch Chicken Little…
Oh… Is there a particular reason?
Well, my least favorite part is the opening and its insipid song. And I’m not crazy for any of the characters. Or the animation style itself.
But… but… it’s Don Bluth! D:
Nah jk. You’re entitled to your opinions. I like the Rescuers quite a bit but it does seem a bit boring.
Well, I have to agree with the opening song (even tough the Oscars seemed to think it was great).
But how do you feel about the Renaissance sequel? It doesn’t features any songs, but an excellent score, and the animation style is quite different. I personally love it.

This section of your post made me so happy!! I agree entirely.
That explains it. I’m not a fan of him. No offense.
No, that’s a mistake.
The Rescuers isn’t Don Bluth’s. He was just one of many animators, but he wasn’t very important in it’s production.
Oh? I thought he had a fairly large role in it. Oh well, my mistake.
I love Don Bluth. I wish he had stayed ay Disney, though.
Apparently most of Disney’s modern films actually had hounarble (may be misspelled) mentions on Toonzone’s Toons of the 2000s. The only films that weren’t mentioned were Fantasia 2000 (maybe for barely coming out of the millennium? It was reviewed just fine, better than others), The Princess and the Frog (for coming out after they started the thing) and then Dinosaur, Home on the Range and Chicken Little. I wonder why…
Is it wrong to use TV Tropes terms?
Well, Dinosaur, HotR, and Chicken Little are…not good enough to be on that list. Period. And then for Fantasia 2000, IMO that would be because it is a sequel, and vastly inferior to the original.
Well, to be technical, Fantasia 2000 premiered in December of 1999 and it only came out in IMAX on the first day of 2000, so it’s probably because it wasn’t a wide release.
Oh, okay. Personally, I don’t think it’s good enough, either way, though.
I LOVED Robin Hood and the Fox and the Hound… And well, while the movies made during the “Dark Age” (Btw did you put “Dork” Age on purpose? )are classic, i though they were…okay. The movie i hated the most was “The Rescuers” and its squel.
And about the Renaissance age…it sure was a very dissapointing age. I didn´t like any movie but Brother Bear…Seriously,i still can´t believe Disney made “Home in the Range” and “Chicken Little”
That’s not the Renaissance age. It goes from The Little Mermaid to Tarzan.
Alright, let’s do this!
The Aristocats- People consider this bad? I know it recycles a bit of animation, but I love this film. The alley cats are just so cool, and the evil butler is hilarious (as well as the dogs). I even find myself quoting this movie unintentionally. B+
Robin Hood- Okay, this film goes over-the-top with it’s reused animation; even going out of it’s way to give Baloo brown fur and calling him a new character. With that said, this is one of my favorite Disney films of all time. The action is fantastic, the villains are incredible (in a humerous way). I just- HNNNNNNNNNNG!!! I really love Robin Hood. A-
The Many Adventures Of Winnie The Pooh- I was never a fan of Winnie the Pooh as a kid (with the exception of the surprisingly epic and terrifying Search for Christopher Robin). Not to mention, the ending gave me nightmares. C
The Rescuers- I do remember liking this movie slightly as a kid, but it still was never something that stood out to me. I still remember the characters names, and the albatross was cool, (so it had to have meant something), but especially compared to the sequel, it feels lacking. B-
The Fox And The Hound- This was always one of my personal favorites (and not because of the participation from future Pixar employees). The story is classic, and heartbreaking; a gem of its time. The voice acting and most of the animation is wonderful, and it reminds me a lot of Bambi (in all the best ways). Even still, man can it be sad. A-
The Black Cauldron- To this day, I still don’t understand the hate for this one. It’s gorgeous, incredibly dark, and has a thrilling story with memorable characters (yes I said that). B
The Great Mouse Detective- A lot of people call this movie an underrated classic, and I agree. I wouldn’t really call it a classic, but it’s definitely good, and Vincent Price is in it, so that’s basically enough of a reason to consider this film awesome. B
Oliver and Company- Now this is a film I can see why a lot of people hate, but I’m not one of those people. I definitely consider it to be a good Disney film, and I will never forget ‘You and Me Together’. B-
Fantasia 2000- Fantasia 2000 is a film I love so much, I dare say it’s almost better than the original. I’ll even go as far to say that with the exception of Night on Bald Mountain and The Sorceror’s Apprentice, this one blows the original out of the park. Rhapsody in Blue and The Steadfast Tin Soldier are perfect. (The latter which has a distinct Pixar feel, and the former because of it’s numerous references and art-style…and it’s Rhapsody in Blue). The Firebird is the perfect finale, and Beethoven’s 5th is the perfect opening. The only piece I don’t really love is The Carnival of the Animals, but that was kind of put for the kids only, and I still enjoy it. All I can say is that there are numerous times where I get a chill in my spine that only comes during the rare movie scenes that get me like no other. A+
Dinosaur- Think back to the late 90s and early 2000s, when dinosaurs were the coolest things in the world. Jurassic Park helped this with no doubt. Insert a new Disney tradition (along with that of Tarzan), to release the entire first 5 minute opening as the full-length trailer. This alone is something that would never happen nowadays. It was mind-blowing! The score was epic, the revolutionary animation was breathtaking, and holy cow! The dinosaurs looked real! It was dark, realistic, and completely different. It simply gives me goosebumps.
Then the movie came out and most people were dissapointed, but seeing it in theatres, I was so taken back by the opening scene that nothing in the film could ruin my joy. Sure the movie would’ve been loads better if nobody talked, but what we have is still an underrated classic. Disney knew they had something special here, and boy where they right. If you aren’t man enough to watch it, check out the teaser trailer. In fact, regardless of whether you’ve seen it 100 times or not, everybody check out the opening scene/teaser trailer again, right now. B
The Emperor’s New Groove- Whoever calls this a bad movie deserves to be slapped. I consider it one of the most quotable and funniest movies of all time. Kronk. A+
Atlantis: The Lost Empire- After releasing another mind-blowing trailer that deserves to be seen by everybody, Atlantis arrived to mixed reviews and later sat in obscurity as a disappointment (mostly due to its box-office results). But when I saw it, AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAWWWW YEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHH! This movie is amazing. I recently had the oppurtunity to watch it again with a bunch of friends, and it still holds up like nothing has aged at all. These characters are simply as fascinating as any bunch of Oscar-bait ensemble casts, perhaps even more interesting. I love everybody here. I love Milo, I love Sweet, and I think I speak for everyone when I say that Vinny the Demo-Man is one of the greatest characters in cinema history. (You know he is). My reaction to the animation = . Also, having James Newton Howard as the composer for this, Dinosaur, and Treasure Planet was one of the best decisions Disney has made, because these scores are unbelievable (and all Oscar worthy). A
Lilo & Stitch- It’s Lilo and Stitch, that’s all I need to say. A-
Treasure Planet- This is my third favorite Disney film of all time, and one of my favorite films of all time. There is not a single flaw. With the highlights being John Rzeznik, the characters, the score, the relationship of Silver and Jim, Mort, and the incredible 3-D / 2-D crossover animation. Even B.E.N. is a bit unfairly criticized. Plus it all has a big The Iron Giant feel to it, which is something I like. Seeing this film I just know that this would be something John Lasseter would be proud of. A+
Brother Bear- Well, it was alright. I kind of liked it. Much like The Hunchback of Notre Dame, the best parts were the dramatic ones; the comedic scenes felt out of place and got in the way. Still, it was pretty heart-wrenching. B-
Home On The Range- This film is just trash. It’s worthless, and I hate everything about it. F
Chicken Little- A lot of people hate this, but I still consider it a guilty pleasure. Not to mention, after Home on the Range, anything even remotely decent seemed to be glowing with quality by default. It’s pretty funny too. C+
Meet The Robinsons- The first hour of this film is insane. Sometimes it’s so crazy it’s funny, but other times it’s so crazy it’s just confusing. My head hurt from this film. It was way too fast, way too bright, and it’s a shame because the animation was well done and the deeper meaning of a possible future for humanity was pretty interesting. It’s just not my thing, that’s all.
Then it brought out a mind-blowing finale that left me breathless. The final thirty minutes brought out a huge twist, was incredibly dark, and left me full of tears. It redeemed the entire film, and that’s something that still amazes me to this day. B
Just for the record, I didn’t really like Bolt all that much; at least enough to give it a B-.
Conclusion: Some of you might be surprised, but I really miss the films Disney made during the 2000s. The ones that were bad were really bad, but as much as I love The Princess and the Frog and Tangled, I’d give anything to see another film like Atlantis, Treasure Planet, or The Emperor’s New Groove. It leaves me sad that Disney looks back on these films with disgust, and that none of them did particularly well at the box office. This is precisely the reason why most critics hated Cars 2. They expected another dramatic piece of art on par with cinema’s greats, and what they got was an incredibly entertaining thril-ride. Most people expected the 2000 Disney films to be spectacles with tons of Oscar-worthy songs and screenplays, ala The Lion King or Aladdin, and what they got was action. Some of the finest action I’ve seen in a cinema, but I guess the change was too soon for movie-goers. which only makes me all the more curious, how would these films be recieved by the public if they were released nowadays (as well as The Black Cauldron just as a further example)?
Good reviews, thought in my books there’s no way that Chicken Little can be considered “remotely decent” I think it was far worse than Home on the Range.
Some of my mom’s favorite Disney movies are the ones from the 60s-70s, and she’s been showing a few of them to me lately, so I’ve seen a few more by now. I’ll update my list soon.
