11/5/2022 0 Comments Animated disney movies from 2017![]() ![]() during this era they underestimated the vast potential that animated films could have on an audience…That was, until a surprise Box Office hit paved the way for something new… Animation was at a low point, with a focus on films that were cheaper and faster to make, as well as the company shifting its attention to live-action films and theme-parks. The films in this era did explore some unique and fascinating ideas, but were far less capable of executing them than previous generations. Most of the films in this era, while fondly remembered today, struggled to reach an audience, critical or otherwise. They seemed to largely fall short of the ‘magic’ that most people associated with Disney. Left without a sense of direction or strong leadership, the company entered an era of hits and misses. His passing left the company confused and directionless, ushering in a figurative “Dark Age” for animation.Īlso referred to as the Dark Age, the Bronze Age of Disney Animation was largely a result of Walt Disney’s passing. ![]() Eventually the quality of animation came to its lowest point when Walt Disney passed away during production of The Jungle Book. The constant improvement of animation could not be sustained.Īlthough the films after Sleeping Beauty still met with success, they were far less innovative than earlier endeavors. It was a Box Office hit, but was still dwarfed by its extravagant production costs. This finally happened in 1959 when Walt Disney reached what he considered the pinnacle of his art form: Sleeping Beauty. The cost of production was reaching a critical mass that no Box Office success could overcome. ![]() During this time, Disney’s increasingly high standards of innovation started making films incredibly expensive to produce. But sadly this era of innovation was not to last. This era marks the most prosperous time for the company during Walt’s lifetime, with many films in this era proving to be massive successes that went down in history as Disney Classics. However, with the success of Cinderella, Disney was finally able to revive the innovative works which categorized its early years. Artistic expression was put on hold during the war. Although many of these films are beloved today by Disney fans, they are generally considered of far less quality than the rest of the Golden Age.Ĭonsidered by some to be a late extension the Golden Age, the Silver Age is nonetheless separated from the earlier films of the era by the events of WWII. These package films were often compilations of several short films edited together with new inserts to fill out a feature film run-time. During this time, Disney had to rely on ‘package films’ to pay the rent and had almost no time to explore more creative avenues. Government and co-opted into creating propaganda for America…for very little compensation. ![]() This ‘sub-era’ is marked by a halt in the production of animated features as the studio was literally taken-over by the U.S. Unfortunately, this ‘Age of Art’ was cut short by the advent of a worldwide war…īecause this era was the result of WWII, a largely uncontrollable event, most critics don’t seem to hold it against Disney. He focused on making each film better than the last, ushering in visions of great art and innovation. Walt spent almost every cent he made during this time on the next masterpiece. ‘Golden Age’ more accurately refers to the quality and technical achievements of the era’s animation. Most of them only gained “Classic Status” years later. The term ‘Golden Age’ doesn’t necessarily refer to the success of these films because, besides Snow White, most of the films in the Golden Age were largely unsuccessful at the time of their release. The Golden Age of Disney Animation began with the release of Snow White in 1937. Here’s some fun Disney History for all you fans out there!
