[quote="Chaos"]You know now that I think of it. It is hard to define a Golden Age. Many people think it started with the little mermaid to the lion king. Or it coul only be the movies that happened when Walt Disney was alive. But I think now that it depends on the person. Some movies sequels could touch someone differently. Like I read that there was this woman who loved disney. But she found out she was going to die very soon. On her gravestone her husband wrote something along the lines of Thanks for being my beauty and thanks for loving a beast. When I read that it really touched me and I thought every movie has an affect on someone different.[/quote]

I just want to say that I didn't mind Atlantis, and I thought Treasure Planet was fine, we actually have both of them on dvd, so I'm not bashing them. It's just when you compare them to things like Aladdin and TLM, they just don't really stand up.

Yeah, the falling short of potential is the only gripe I have with Atlantis. So much more could have been done, but it was the usual mix of time and resources (lack of both in development, to a degree, and on screen).
I like Lilo and Stitch because it's so non-traditional and I can relate to Lilo so well. It's just fun.

I wanted to see Treasure Planet, but haven't managed to yet. After the
Sinbad
movie, I made a mental note to be cautious of movies that seem to fall off the planet shortly after release.
If I ever get the chance, I'd like to see it, though.
I can't say I
disliked
Atlantis... but I think they had a lot of wasted potential. Mostly, it was Þe Olde Standarde Pulp Plot with a lot of gratuitous Eye Candy. I don't mind eye candy, but when after it's said and done that's pretty much
all
I can remember, I don't usually feel really inclined to watch a movie again. That, and I'd pretty much felt like I'd seen it all before performed by Kurt Russell, James Spader, and Mili Avital. (And later by Joe Flanigan and Rachel Luttrell, who were
way
more entertaining than Milo et al.
)
I did manage to see
Lilo and Stitch
fairly recently - and I liked it. In fact, I wouldn't mind getting it sometime. Lilo's... unique sense of humor cracked me up.

Am I the only one who loved Treasure Planet? I never get tired of it, and it's one of my favourite Disney movies. Sure, it has its problems, but also some charm to make up for them.

I think the last good 2D Disney movie was Lilo and Stitch, but I loved the golden age. Sadly, after TLK, things got worse with Herc etc, even though I do enjoy those...and then we were given Atlantis, Treasure Planet and Home on the Range...The only way is up!

Again, I'm on board with this whole thing. I really do miss the princess stories, the good ol' love stories, those adventures, the mythology! All that stuff, classics...even the last few one's disney did, like Brother Bear and Lilo and Stitch, were in the old style animation...but didn't have the same feel, actually I liked Brother Bear, but Lilo and Stitch....not so much.

Hmm...but all the movies people consider classics now weren't successful at the time of their releases. Sleeping Beauty nearly bankrupted the company. And there were a lot of other great movies that didn't receive recognition until a long time.
Yes, hence my parenthesis'd comment about them having a lot of good points. Sometimes it takes time to see things in a more appreciative light.

The whole "golden age" label can be tricky. For me, the golden age would be most of the films made directly under Walt Disney's direction/influence, with a lot of leeway in that definition. Namely, the earlier films, from Snow White to at least The Jungle Book. In regards to TLM through --max-- HotR, I'm more along the lines of AG's idea of the rennaissance, second golden age. But that's nitpicky terminalogy. Moving on.
I do agree that the 2D age has come to a momentary halt, but history repeats. A similar thing happened shortly after Walt's death. They were still making animated films, and they are not exactly their greatest stuff (but still pretty good in many ways. The worst, if you had to pin the term, would be The Black Cauldron). But TLM brought about a rebirth for the animation studios. Hopefully, Frog Princess will do the same. Of course, it'll take a lot more than it did with TLM; they simply changed buildings. It's more complicated starting again practically from scratch.

Not only am I getting really tired of the 3D animation style, but I also feel that it is a pity that the film-makers of today feel the need to be so ironic *all the time*. It felt pretty new and funny in Shrek but now it's getting really worn out.
I miss the sentimental love stories of the old movies

They can't go back to 2D animation quickly cause when they decided that 3D was the way to go they sold all of their 2D euipment. Kept some of them to do the sequels in Austrailia but then closed that down along with the ones in Paris.

Now they're going into the Disney Steam Age, where they just lurch around in the polluted atmosphere until they die at age 30 from vitamin D deficiency.

It's a known fact that history often repeats itself, so here's to hoping that there'll be an audience that will welcome 2-D animation once more.
