This era, like the Post-Renaissance era, also features a mixture of hand-drawn and computer-generated films. The Revival Era: (2009 - 2019) Much like The Little Mermaid heralded the beginning of the Disney Renaissance nearly two decades prior, The Princess and the Frog signaled a revival of sorts in Disney Animation. This era could also be seen as a Second Dark Age Disney, with a few standout releases, but a definite step down from the previous batch of Renaissance Disney films. In this "Post-Renaissance Era," Disney gradually moved further away from traditional hand-drawn animation and fairy tales in favor of computer-generated movies. The Post-Renaissance Era: (1999 - 2008) These Disney films are a mix of hand-drawn and computer-generated films, many (such as Treasure Planet) use both techniques. Sadly, this Renaissance came to an end with the phenomenal Tarzan in 1999.
I happen to love The Black Cauldron and many films in this period! The Disney Renaissance: (1989 - 1999) Although Oliver & Company was pretty awesome and made a pretty penny, it was The Little Mermaid in 1989 that really made a splash, kicking off the fantastic Disney Renaissance where Disney pumped out hit after hit, reinvigorating its classic animation legacy. Hey, just because it's the Dark Ages, does not mean these 8 films are lacking in quality, they just lack in cultural impact when compared to earlier and later films. The Bronze Age: (1970 - 1988) Also, known as the "Dark Ages" of Disney Animation. These films were the last to have Walt Disney's direct impact, with The Jungle Book being the final film in this era. The Transition Era: (1960 - 1969) Some might call these 3 films part of the Silver Age, but they have a distinct look that sets them apart (due to a lower budget and the new Xerox animation process). The Silver Age: (1950 - 1959) These 5 films bring Disney back to center stage, ending with Sleeping Beauty, a distinct stylized masterpiece. The Package Era: (1942 - 1949) These 6 films feature a combination of shorter "packaged" animated features that lack the staying power of the more feature quality pictures, and although very entertaining, they are largely forgotten when compared to Disney's earlier and later classics.
I've divided the Disney films into 9 Distinct Eras: The Golden Age: (1937 - 1942) These are Walt Disney's first 5 feature films, and are undisputed classics that remain an essential part of the legacy of animation. This list does not include the Disney/Pixar films (such as Finding Nemo or Coco), nor does it include the many Direct-to-Video sequels (The Lion King II: Simba's Pride, for instance) produced by Disney over the years. Disney maintains these numbered films, so personal opinion cannot just add or remove films from the list based on popularity. This list contains all of the officially numbered feature "Classic" films Walt Disney Animation Studios has released.
