Transcripts
as many know when it pertains to Disney
most would gravitate towards the
classics like The Lion King Beauty and
the Beast Aladdin and the Little Mermaid
and those movies are part of an era of
Classics that are most known as the
Disney Renaissance a period from the
late 1980s to the late 1990s when Walt
Disney feature animation returned to
producing critically and commercially
successful animated films these were the
movies that hearken back to the Golden
Age of Disney when they exploded with
the first feature-length animated movie
that were mostly of course musical
adaptations of well-known stories where
each of them actually worked well almost
all of them and this video is meant to
dive into why these stories work so well
the way they did why they appealed to so
many of us when we were so young and
even now were most of the successful
live-action films actually comes from
adapting this very era of film to prove
how popular it really was of course I'm
not going to primarily focus on the
style of Animation because I really
don't know too much to comment on that
and other stuff on the behind the scenes
but will still comment on their beauty
and what they did to tell the stories
that the way they were told when we look
back to the time before the Renaissance
we see an era that isn't well recognized
by the majority of the public today in
an era that is mostly now known as the
Disney Dark Age it was referred in two
senses that Disney actually went for a
more darker storytelling and just that
this was the era of Animation that was
met with the decline it is also an era
that is classified as the Bronze Age
extending to the time just before Walt
Disney's death up until The Little
Mermaid where some were actually good
times but overall the movies weren't
just as well renowned as the eras of the
golden and silver ages I mean looking
back on it some of them were actually
disappointing because I actually like
some of the films either both in
animation and live action that came out
of Disney in this era with the chorus
being my favorites out of this time
which was TRON are called classic and
also gravitating towards stories like
The Great Mouse Detective directed by
the two men who would usher in the
Renaissance with their very next film
and with this very film I think it
captured some of the great style of the
older films with music and talking
animals and a great story that returned
some financial success back to the
studio after the disappointment of the
Black Culture in the year before the
story had a fantastic villain and a
great hero and of course a great story
in that as well in a way this film was
actually the true beginning of the
Renaissance for bringing back the box
office and storytelling success to
Disney because of how the next film in
Oliver and Company brought in more box
office success as well it wasn't as good
as this film or some of the ideas
actually ran short but at the very least
Disney was back on the upward Trend yet
again finally ending their dark times
with the likes of The Little Mermaid and
the Renaissance beginning The Little
Mermaid was a story planned very early
during Walt Disney's time after the
likes of Snow White but like many other
films we know of today that was
unfortunately delayed but then brought
back to both John musker and Ronald
Clements being the directors of The
Great Mouse Detective to make a new
story that was revised into a musical
like those Disney Classics of old where
they brought in the talent of Alan
Menken and Howard Ashman to bring in
something amazing to the realm of Disney
music and what we got was Disney's
biggest success never seen since the
likes of Cinderella I mean it's not 100
true but the movie really did feel
hearkening back to a story that enticed
people to watch when it comes to Disney
and so forth The Little Mermaid was a
film about finding who you are and
growing from it the point of this film
is having these two characters Bridge
these different worlds from each other
and how our main character Ariel wants
to be part of the human world and found
that through Eric were through the case
of Eric his love is the sea and
searching for something new and how
apparently a woman from the sea rescued
him and he was so grateful for saving
his life that he made a mission to find
her two points that the story was trying
to connect about our own individual
desires featured in the main Heroes and
of course the main villain Ursula
herself for her own desires to rule the
sea but then again the heart of this
very story was the fact of the growth of
King Triton who shut himself out and
refused his daughter to spend time with
humans because of how dangerous he
perceived them to be but changed to
understand what Ariel actually wanted
out of her life and what humans like
Eric were actually liked by Saving his
daughter how he actually sees that what
he did was wrong especially for his
daughter who wanted more out of her life
that he was actually stopping the love
for her daughter is the most important
thing to actually take away from this
lesson and I think using it as a
Broadway musical really got those points
across that solidified the opinion of
what Disney is known for today which the
Renaissance was mainly all about once
again mentioning the talents of Alan
Menken and Howard Ashman really getting
those feelings across with songs like
Part of Your World Under the Sea and
Poor Unfortunate Souls like it truly
became the Benchmark to how Disney was
going to present these stories despite a
few exceptions during the same time
frame because the only movie that
actually stands out from the rest of the
films in the Renaissance Era is The
Rescuers Down Under which was a project
developed before as a sequel to The
Rescuers where it just happened to be a
part of this era because it was released
after The Little Mermaid but other than
that it feels more of the same generic
style of the older films and weaker in
some cases from the original story the
only thing that made it stand out was
the fact it had a villain when other
prominent Disney sequels would actually
forget soon enough and also introduced
the cap system that Disney would use in
their animated films after where they
went back to straight up successes with
one of their most great animated stories
ever told in Beauty and the Beast this
film is special in the case of how this
wanted to continue adapting with the
little mermaid did best in terms of
musicals and how Walt Disney also wanted
to work on it before with the story so
simple focusing on a beast interacting
with such beauty the story of Beauty and
the Beast is everything you expect in an
animated musical with the likes of
Disney from the characters to the songs
the thing that made it great was the
fact of the Beast himself also
surrounded by his animated utensil
servants learning and growing from his
own selfish ways how the enchantress
actually made them go through this whole
entire journey and lesson about opening
up and learning to love rather than
Sheltering yourself out and then we see
this opportunity for him to open up with
a girl like Belle stuck in a world of
books and Adventure outside of the
townsfolk How She Wants More Than This
provincial life in this town and the
people like Gaston Gaston of course
being the greatest character of the film
represents the sheltered mindset and
contrast to who the Beast of the film
really is Allah love that the
Renaissance actually represents this
idea where one character is portrayed
this way physically but it's actually
this relatively normal or eccentric
character that is this way where somehow
Gaston has a strong grip on these talent
to put these ideals into practice
against what the characters like the
beasts are really like and how he gets
that Redemption Arc at the end because
of how she saw someone like him care an
adventure where she went out of her way
to save her father at first but also
saved him as well to be the person he
was meant to be the Redemption Arc that
he goes through is everything to me in
the story and of course his servants
being the heartwarming crew of the movie
where once again this was all
spearheaded by the likes of the songs of
Alan Menken and Howard Ashman where this
film is dedicated to him where he died a
few months prior to its release but
still continued to create fantastic
music that was also continued within
Aladdin Aladdin brought us back to
muscar and Clements to create another
brilliant story that focused on the
Friendship of Genie and a street rat
this film is made special considering
that Howard Ashman actually pitched the
idea of this musical and at least had
three songs that he worked done in the
film continuing his perfect musical
track record that Disney was now on and
that all of us now know of before the
songs that he made are the ones that we
most recite most of the time what made
Aladdin special was the heart of its
bombastic characters whether it be its
villain from Jafar and Iago being
Overkill at some point or of course the
genius of Robin Williams Performance as
Genie and his relationship with Aladdin
I mean yes it's heartwarming to continue
the same Romance of the previous movies
with Aladdin and Jasmine and still
adding on with the connection with the
princess and the commoner against the
laws of the government but still
everything worked well because of their
relationship the trials that they went
through together to help each other
succeed with the wishes that he wanted
and the promise he made to Grant freedom
to the genie and of course songs like a
whole new world really did bring a whole
new world to Disney and audiences around
the globe enamored by this new
groundbreaking storytelling experience
Aladdin proved at this point that Disney
could prove time and time again that
they could actually make Classics
whenever and wherever they went compared
to the past of cautious optimism of
their stories that now with the success
of Aladdin Disney finally established
itself as the main power and force in
the industry of animation and movies
everything about this film is just very
beautiful from the colors and animation
combined to highlight the beautifully
acted scenes where you can come to
appreciate the fact that there were
multiple people who brought these voices
to life I mean sure in the cases of
Jonathan Freeman and Robin Williams they
sang out their own songs but when other
actors couldn't in the case of Scott and
Linda blading Aladdin and Jasmine they
also got the talents of Brad Kane and
Leia Salonga to really capture the
beauty of songs like a whole new world
to bring in a new spice to their movies
it's something that we actually would
see in other films in this era where it
shows the amount of work that actually
goes into these films the passion they
had to fulfill with their animators the
writers the composers the actors and
just everyone who gave it their all for
this very film every single project that
came out of this proved that not one
person alone could actually finish these
stories to make it what they once were
it was a collaborative effort and it
really showed and then of course we saw
them outdo theirselves for the next film
in The Lion King and The Lion King in my
opinion is really the peak of all of
Disney Animation their best filmed the
date and it's not hard to see why and
amazing how it used animals to convey
this story where it is also amazing to
discover the fact that it was worked on
their B team when their A-Team was
actually focused on making Pocahontas
where we all know how that actually
turned out instead The Lion King here
attracted people because of its familial
story a simple story of a father and son
losing that and learning to live without
that for the majority of your life and
actually finding yourself in that
process that was all caused by your
bitter uncle and of course brother in
that case and this film managed to outdo
everything from before especially with
its soundtrack with such breathtaking
emotion delivered by Hans Zimmer who
found the message of the Father and Son
very important to him of course combined
with the most recognizable Disney songs
made by Tim Rice and Elton John it's the
most balanced film I've ever seen diving
into these emotional dramatic moments
with heartfelt comedy the performances
in this film is one of the best best
that I have ever seen come out of Disney
with my favorites coming out of Jeremy
Irons performance at scar creating
things like this live sarcastic villain
or the power that James Earl Jones had
as Mufasa to represent the strong father
figure that Simba actually needed and
looked up to the heart of this story is
in fact the circle of life itself and
how there is more to be seen than can
ever be seen and how that translates
into Simba's role of how despite his
father's death he will always live
within him to do what is right and
continue the delicate balance of life
itself it's these simple stories about
life and our family that really connects
us with them very well how it is
something at least all of us could
actually relate to on some level and
what made Disney the company that they
are today and proven with the explosive
success of this very film but it was
just that this made them sustain and
solidify their power that they were
always good at a story about a bunch of
animals that surely influenced
generations of today in so many ways but
then of course they release Pocahontas
after this to be the Pinnacle of this
era which it actually wasn't now I don't
think Pocahontas is a film like some of
the modern ones we see today but it
surely was their weakest film of this
era but it was still successful in other
ways like the beauty of its animation
and the box office but beyond that
lacked anything meaningful to me and
other people for that matter with a time
period that wasn't gotten quite right in
their very eyes but then again at the
very least I will give it credit for
continuing the wonderful music composed
by Alan Menken that went on into films
like Hunchback of Notre Dame this was
another film that was actually set in
France directed by the same guys who
brought us Beauty and the Beast and one
I consider to be Disney's darkest
Masterpiece and one of my personal
favorites its tone really showed that
Disney could actually tell stories with
a more serious Edge and still succeed to
some degree the most ambitious they have
ever gone to this date and still wish
that they tried to do so to this day the
film also continues that message of
separating the men with the monsters
featured in Beauty and the Beast with
Quasimodo and frollo the main message of
this movie is to Showcase how dark or
good a man's heart could be with one of
the greatest and darkest Disney villains
ever created and of course it was all
balanced out by the character of
Esmeralda who brings out these two sides
where she just wanted to be recognized
as a human as any other compared to
where quasi sees an angel but Rolo sees
a demon of desire and how she recognizes
quasi as a human where others Markham
for his appearance as a monster and
challenges everything that frolo
actually brings to the world using his
definitions of what is Holy to justify
any of its sinful actions to preserve
itself when that is the wrong case it is
just one of those films that stand up
for what he did moving Disney beyond the
bubbly figure and sadly one that they
wouldn't go back to because of how safe
they want to play things nowadays but
still thankful that at least in the
Renaissance they wanted to challenge
what could be a fantastic movie whether
it be adult or kidlike in tone and then
again you move on back to films like
Hercules bringing us back to musker and
Clements with such a fantastic film with
the most fun Disney characters like
Hades or Phil with a style that remains
to be unique in its own right the story
they wanted to present in Hercules is
certainly unique and the most heroic of
the Munch to achieve our dreams and who
we are and this film represents what the
Renaissance was so good at doing
focusing on these human character
stories or animals defining your own
path in life and I think using Legends
like Hercules really brings the best and
brightest out of that very idea I don't
really have much to say other than how
fun this film was and how it was the
best inaccurate portrayal of Greek
mythology I've ever seen where instead
I've actually enjoyed films like Mulan a
lot more and its empowering messages
Mulan is a great film for showcasing
that raw strength is not everything
where most of it relies on mulan's duty
to try to be who she is supposed to be
and realizing who she really is doing
the most dangerous thing ever in their
society to save their father from dying
in battle because of his age and time
and time again in this fairy film Mulan
actually proves the worth of a soldier
Beyond gender or physical capabilities
of a person showing that there are more
ways than one to actually fight and save
everyone which he actually does so in
the end the film also shows this
fantastic shift between two different
moods when they sing in the first half
to showcasing their feelings to then
shift lifting to showcase the realities
of War and who they were up against I
love this story for the rejection of
such ideas of who we are supposed to be
and going against the grain of our peers
where it is all done for the love of our
families something represented in the
final moments of the film showcasing
when she returned to her father where he
says the greatest gift and honor is
having her as a daughter where that is
truly the most impactful moment that I
have ever saw out of this era of film
it's a great empowering message for
females while balancing out what matters
the most and the reason why this is all
done for to honor the family and doing
what is right within your heart
something that the live-action film
actually never understood being the one
of the most stupidest movies to ever
made from one of the most beautiful
films ever made in my opinion and then
like all good things they must come to
an end and Tarzan actually gave us that
where at the very least they ended
things on a good note this story is
great for continuing the messages of
family and the beasts against man
arguments where I really like the story
showcasing the human compassion of tar
present for his family in terms of his
parents who were killed and his gorilla
family who raised him after seeing that
happen and of course where he finds love
in Jane and the porters or characters
like Clayton actually showcase The
Descent of Man could take because of how
heartless he truly is like I really like
how over time you see this change in him
to become a Savage of the Jungle where
he gets the Fate he deserves for being
that way but more importantly it is the
found family message of the film that
actually worked that really hits with
characters like kirchak learning and
growing to accept that where this white
Tarzan actually being human he is still
family to them because of how he proves
he loves them by protecting them and
that's why Tarzan actually worked the
way it did to close this very era out
its financial success actually still
proved that Disney still had got it on
the backdrop with the rise of Pixar and
DreamWorks as Studios representing the
slow end of 2D that we know today and
the introduction of 3D and of course
after the Renaissance end came an era
that was truly underrated and
appreciated which is unfortunate but
also still due to the rise of 30
understandably that gave us way to
something like the Renaissance in the
Revival 3D era as we all know I will
create a separate video to why that
worked the way it did but the main point
I will drive home here is because it's
still hearkened back to stories like the
Renaissance Toad and some of the stuff
that they learned today where everything
we know and these stories really take
the heart of why we love Disney these
stories work because they focus on the
real relatable human elements that we
all know of and that's why the
Renaissance is truly the best Disney era
ever all in all everything that the
Renaissance did really did influence the
modern world we see today and I couldn't
be more thankful for it these stories
really showed the passion and creativity
that we associate with Disney and proved
how much they could endure for lifetimes
beyond our death that through Despair
and hope through faith and love on the
path unwinding this will forever endure
in the circle of life and one can only
hope that the future for Disney can
actually make something as unique and
great as this error gave us and with
that said I'm all done so goodbye
