A Goofy Movie can stand toe to toe with a lot of the renaissance films, there was clearly talent within DisneyToon.

I really don't get Lasseter. He did an interview on the stigma of 2D movies in the eyes of the public, but then he first shuts down their Australian studio, then he blamed Princess and the Frog's failings on its title, sent Winnie the Pooh 2011 to die against Harry Potter, then claimed 2D was no more. And then decided Disneytoon's Planes was good enough for cinema.

For a guy that claimed to be on 2D's side his actions didn't reflect that.

There, I fixed it for you.

Cinderella 3 DESERVES that 75% fresh rating. They added sooo much character to the Prince and especially Anastasia.

"The movie fell down the ugly tree and hit every branch on the way down." 😂

I love that the Lion King 2 was based off Romeo and Juliet, but I love even more so that Lion King 1/2 is basically Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead (the story of Hamlet, but from the POV of the 2 side characters, Rosencrantz and Guildenstern). It's rather genius.

>"A Goofy Movie" has a rotten critical score
No damn taste in the 90s, I guess.

“Meet the Robinsons 2” has got to be the most obscure sounding movie I’ve ever heard to exist

Next video in 10 years would be the history about the live action remakes.

I wonder if that Disney home video voice over guy is still around

As a kid who grew up in the golden age of the "cheapquels", I can say they had as much influence on my childhood as the original feature films, even though now looking back I can see they weren't as good quality.

Disney logic:
Don't use our characters so we don't look cheap.
Also Disney:
Hey let use Mickey in a low budget workout show.

*Looks at The 7D, Tangled and Big Hero 6 series, 101 Dalmatian street, The Lion Guard, the 2 Stitch animes, Ralph and Frozen 2*
The more things change, the more they stay the same.

One has to wonder just how dark Dopey's backstory was to make that Snow White spinoff TOO dark... I mean, this was based off Snow White, which is so much scarier and intense for children than we all remember because we internalized our collective trauma.
-Don't get me wrong. I'm glad that there's a Disney movie that challenges kids and stays pretty true to its dark roots. I just can't go in the woods at night without getting freaked out about trees with demonic faces thanks to that movie (totally normal almost 30 year old behavior, right). What the hell was so dark about Dopey's story that outdid demon trees, attempted assassination/organ harvesting, and horrific transformations?

Bambi II is seriously one of my favourite Disney films. Im astounded by the quality of animation and storytelling. It’s up in the air whether or not it remains moral to make a sequel to Bambi, but I think it was worth it.

Okay but Cinderella 3 A Twist in Time is the best Cinderella story and y’all can fite me on that

[unknown_limes]

They didn't use a single frame from Hunchback of Notre Dame 2 for the trailer and I think that sums up the movie pretty well. Also, I love that little line from Stitch, that Yesterworld plotline passes the vibe check!

21:50 -- Regarding Lasseter's disdain for the direct-to-video sequels, I always thought that the Gusteau's frozen TV dinners in "Ratatouille" were supposed to represent the sequel films. You know, the TV dinners that the heroes burn in a bonfire :D.

DuckTales, TaleSpin, Rescue Rangers... My god, it's my childhood. Talk about a kick in the feels. (When my family took its first Disney trip in 88 or 89, I was so excited to find all my favorite characters!)
