Why did Disney Renaissance end?

I do not know how I could be any more specific about NOT meaning the little mermaid but Disney's Arielle.

None of the promo material made the late 2D flops look interesting, hence nobody watched.
There's something to take from the success of L&S and Emperor's.

>mean Tarzan was pretty successful back then
if you're measuring their renaissance by a film being successful, then they're still in their renaissance in terms of animated films.

This: Post Renaissance movies weren't all bad, really; you had Emperor's New Groove and Lilo&Stitch but Shrek and its legacy were on the horizon around the time the renaissance was coming to an end. Not to mention that Pixar was knocking every ball out of the park with each of their movies by 2004 when Home on the Range struck out. Princess and the Frog came five years later and didn't quite work out...assuming they were after a Frozen-level of success.

Trends in movies (and more importantly, sadly, trends in what gets people -into- theaters to see movies) were shifting and Michael Eisner wasn't helping matters. He was, if I recall, content to let 2d animation just fucking die and pretty much planned on using Pixar 24/7 or something. It certainly seemed that way given that the mid 00s was nothing but Tinkerbell vehicles and the worst CGI movies Disney (Not Pixar) ever tried to shill.

Princess and the Frog, despite being a good movie, failed.

When I majored in Animation for my first year in college, Princess and the Frog was still in production. But even 2 years out, everyone knew Animation was dead, and the schools were lying through their hats in order to keep people enrolling.

All the senior instructors were retiring and nobody was qualified to replace them. New Accreditation rules were retarded. Knowledge didn't matter; getting paid matter. Skills and Techniques that spoke for themselves didn't matter, getting paid mattered.
Because this "institute" was making promises it couldn't keep. "With this degree you'll be making $XX,XXX annually" But the reality was, there were no jobs. And when students committed suicide, the PR damage control painted it as "interpersonal troubles".

December 1999 was the end of the Disney Renaissance of the 1990s

Reasons for not getting that peak anymore was....
>Downsizing
>Conversion to Computer Generated Animation
>Corporate Issues

I went to Disney parks in the 1990s and 2000s. They were living off the renaissance high well into 2010s after which they focused on their new IPs

The fact that you've spelled it wrong so many times in a row is hilarious to me

>all main characters of Disney Renaissance are straight and white

Thank god it ended.

Unironically 9/11. It crushed the 90s booming entertainment industry and killed all ambition and progress in most artforms. It's only just barely now starting to recover.

When people say everything was better in the 90s it's because consumer design and entertainment was at an absolute paradigm. It almost felt like a different world from now.

Shrek made more bank than any Disney film since Lion King. Atlantis came out a month later and it bombed

Reminder that Emperor's New Groove was the first Disney film since Rescuers Down Under to not gross more than 200 million, and for good reason. It was an empty piece of fluff with no substance that used its 4th wall humor as a way to hide its emptiness

It’s a great movie you’re just autistic

It has some funny moments, but it's still a lazy movie. Relying entirely on sarcastic comedy and 4th wall breaks to make up for a the lack of story or emotional substance is not a good thing. Sometimes it even lazily uses comedy to justify plot contrivances

You’re just proving how autistic you are with every post. You only understand the most basic hack Disney tropes lol. You’re pathetic and retarded

Shrek's success was just ogrebearing to them and tried to cash in

Emperor is just a bunch of 4th wall jokes born out of executive meddling. They cancelled Kingdom of the Sun and halfassed a simplistic and not very well drawn film in less than 2 years to make up for it

Reminder that the only hand drawn Zig Forums films from the early 00s to make more than 200 million worldwide were Lilo & Stitch and Brother Bear. That's it

Lol you have exactly one point and it boils down to “I am too retarded to understand comedy”
Ok I’m done dealing with you. Enjoy your juice box at nap time.

>They cancelled Kingdom of the Sun
That’s a good thing that movie looked like shit. Did you even see The Sweatbox?

It has some funny jokes, but i still expect something more substancial from Disney. And so did audiences in 2000. Emperor felt like a step backwards from the Reinassance in every way ( worse animation, only 1 song, no romance, shorter length, etc )

I love idiots on Zig Forums when you can tell they literally only watch children’s films. Get a life and watch a grown up movie once in a while

The Disney renaissance sucks. They look nice but are all bad movies. They’re barely even movies. Oh the princess lost her voice. Cool. Oh she got it back. Ok cool. Oh the tree talks. Cool.
It’s all garbage for babies.

>Lion King
>White characters
what?

There's a reason why Shrek was more successful. Shrek was a comedy first and foremost, but it also had emotional substance, nuance and romance. Audiences liked it more for than Emperor for that reason
