Disney Renaissance

The Disney Renaissance refers to a period from the late 1980s to the late 1990s when The Walt Disney Company revitalized its animated film division. This era produced critically acclaimed and commercially successful films, marked by a return to traditional hand-drawn animation and a focus on strong storytelling, music, and character development. Iconic movies from this time include "The Little Mermaid," "Beauty and the Beast," "Aladdin," and "The Lion King." This resurgence not only rejuvenated Disney's reputation but also had a lasting impact on animated filmmaking and popular culture.
