(Not So)Fun Fact: By this point, John Fiedler was the only original voice actor left of the original cast of characters. He reprised his role of Piglet. </span></span></div>

Plans for the movie began in 1990, but they were shelved in favor of original ideas during the Disney Renaissance. Almost all of the characters from the first movie returned, except for King Louie because of a legal dispute with Louis Prima’s estate. Fun Fact: At one point in the film, two prickly pears fall and stick to Kaa’s head, giving him the appearance of Mickey Mouse. This counts as one of many Hidden Mickeys scattered through Disney films.</span><b style="font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: 1.15; text-decoration: none;"> </b></span></div>

As far as Disney sequels goes, it's definitely toward the bottom in my opinion. The plot seems intriguing at first, with Mowgli having to deal with missing the jungle and living among humans, but it never really goes anywhere and we end up seeing the same villain/climax as the first movie which makes it unexciting. Also the new kids are annoying. </span></div>

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: "arial"; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: 1.15; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"><i>Treasure Planet. </i></span><span style="font-family: "arial";"><span style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 17.25px;">Released in 2003, the movie is loosely based on the novel Treasure Planet. The film employs the technique of hand-drawn 2D traditional animation set atop 3D computer animation, and took roughly four and a half years to complete. Although it was a pet-project by several animators at the company, the movie was a box-office bomb. Fun Fact: The name of the ship, "R.L.S. Legacy" is a reference to the book's ("Treasure Island") author, Robert Louis Stevenson.</span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: "arial"; font-size: 15px; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"><i>Lilo and Stitch.</i> The movie was released in </span><span style="font-family: "arial";"><span style="font-size: 15px;">2002 to positive reviews and was nominated for the 2002 Academy Award for Best Animated Feature. The movie was created as a smaller and less expensive film following the Disney Renaissance, modeled after the production of Dumbo, another economically-sensible film </span><span style="font-size: 15px;">produced in the wake of the more expensive Pinocchio and Fantasia. Chris </span></span><span style="font-family: "arial";"><span style="font-size: 15px;">Sanders, a head storyboard artist, had created the character of Stitch in 1985 for an unsuccessful children's book pitch, and developed it for an animated feature featuring the character. The animation team visited Kauaʻi to research the locale during production, and their tour guide explained the meaning of ʻohana as it applies to extended families, which become an important theme to the plot. </span></span><span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 15px;">Fun fact: No other animated feature had ever taken place on any of the Hawaiian islands before Lilo and Stitch.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: "arial"; font-size: 15px; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Return to Neverland. The film was released in 2002, and </span><span style="font-family: "arial";"><span style="font-size: 15px;">is loosely based on J. M. Barrie's novel Peter and Wendy. It did well at the box office, but critics had mixed reviews of the movie, with several saying that it was unoriginal and simple, and that it lacked the adult-friendly elements that other Disney movies were known for. Fun fact: </span><span style="font-size: 15px;">Kathryn Beaumont, who voiced Wendy in the original Peter Pan, recorded all of Wendy's dialogue for the sequel, but Kath Soucie replaced her in the end.</span></span></div>

When I was little as I've mentioned before I had a Peter Pan obsession and this fell right into it- I associated with Jane so strongly, I wanted to be a lost boy! Not their mother! I loved that Jane wasn't a withering girl who needed to be saved, she would save herself (with the help of her friends). I would run around the living room singing "So to be one of us..."!</span><br />
<b><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: "arial"; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"><b>Alexis:</b></span></b><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: "arial"; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"> It's a silly memory, but the movie reminded me of the happy meal toys that came along with the release of this movie. My sister and I collected several different figurines during the promotion, including a Jane, Peter, and Cubby.</span></div>

I felt for a sequel they took some broad strokes, especially with the metaphor for lost innocence in WWII, I may not have totally understood it as a kid, but I must have gotten it on some level. I also liked that Jane wasn't necessarily the most like-able but she was fairly realistic.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: "arial"; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"><b>Alexis:</b> I agree, I think it's very good in terms of Disney sequels. The story is strong, all the best characters are back, and they didn't over do it in terms of length (it's only an hour). I liked the contrast between Wendy and Jane, and the fact that Wendy met Peter because she didn't want to grow up while Jane met him because she was growing up too fast. It's a nice parallel and it works well with the backdrop of WWII.</span><br />

The movie was released in 2001, and </i></span><span style="font-family: "arial";"><i><span style="font-size: 15px;">made greater use of computer-generated imagery (CGI) than any of Disney's previous traditionally animated features. The movie is notable for adopting the distinctive visual style of comic book creator Mike Mignola, one of four production designers on the film. The production team was inspired by Jules Verne's A Journey to the Center of the Earth</span></i></span><i style="font-family: arial; font-size: 15px;">, and visited museums and old army installations to study the technology of the early 20th century (the film's time period), and traveled 800 feet underground in New Mexico's Carlsbad Caverns to view the subterranean trails. Fun Fact: </i><span style="font-family: "arial";"><span style="font-size: 15px;"><i>The final pull-out scene of the movie, immediately before the end-title card, was described by the directors as the most difficult scene in the history of Disney animation. The scene begins with one 16-inch piece of paper showing a close-up of Milo and Kida. As the camera pulls away from them to reveal the newly restored Atlantis, it reaches the equivalent of an 18,000-inch piece of paper composed of many individual pieces of paper (24 inches or smaller). Each piece was carefully drawn and combined with animated vehicles simultaneously flying across the scene to make the viewer see a complete, integrated image.</i></span></span></div>

It's not a princess/prince movie, and it has more humor and less song. </span></div>

While the characters in Dinosaur are computer-animated, most of the film's backgrounds are live-action and were filmed on location in Venezuela, making for a compelling visual effect. Critics originally praised the film, (primarily for its stunning visuals) and it was a success at the box office, becoming the 5th highest-grossing film of 2000. Fun fact: The film was originally going to be much more violent in tone, and would end with the Cretaceous era extinction event, which would ultimately result in the deaths of the film's characters. This was scrapped for obvious reasons. </span></span></div>

The toys were rubber hand puppets of most of the characters. My family went a couple times during the course of the movie, and each time my sister and I got the carnotaur one, and we were so upset! Also, at one point in my childhood I had a reoccurring nightmare featuring me being chased by a tyrannosaurus rex/ carnotaur type thing and I've avoided dinosaur movies ever since. I'm traumatized. The dream was likely inspired by this movie, so thanks a lot Dinosaur! </span></div>

A follow-up had been in the works for many years, but it wasn’t until the successful home video release of Fantasia came out that the decision went through. The movie is made up of 7 new segments, as well as the famous “Sorcerer’s Apprentice” sequence featuring Mickey, from the first Fantasia. Various celebrities introduce each segment, including Steve Martin and Angela Lansbury. Fun fact: Rhapsody in Blue is the first Fantasia segment with music from an American composer.</span></span></div>

One thing that really stuck out to me compared to the first one was the segments in between each number. Steve Martin spoke during one, two magicians spoke during another, and several orchestra members and animators popped up as well. Most of the segments were lighthearted and funny, with the speakers making jokes, and it set a very different tone than the first one. This Fantasia is definitely geared more towards kids and families.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: "arial"; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"><i>Tarzan. </i>The movie, released in 1999, was based on the story Tarzan of the Apes. The production team traveled to Uganda and Kenya to study gorillas for the film. At the time of its release it was the most expensive animated film ever made, with a production budget of $130 million. It received box office success and critical acclaim, and inspired a prequel, a sequel, a tv series, and a Broadway musical. Fun fact: Phil Collins was asked to provide the music for the movie, because the directors wanted a "contemporary but powerful" soundtrack that didn't involve any of the characters singing. Director Kevin Lima stated </span><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: "arial"; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">"I just couldn't see this half-naked man sitting on a branch breaking out in song.

The film is very loosely based on Romeo and Juliet, although elements of the plot are not taken as directly from the play as it’s predecessor took from Hamlet. Fun fact: Kovu was originally supposed to be Scar’s son, but this was changed in the movie because it would have meant that he and Kiara were first cousins once removed. </span></span></div>

Development began in 1994, when the director and a team of writers went to China for several weeks to perform research and interviews. Animators based the visual design on the Ming and Qing dynasties, since there’s no general consensus as to when Mulan existed. Fun fact: Roy E. Disney, nephew to Walt Disney, was the one to suggest the character of Mushu. Bonus fun fact: Veteran story artist Joe Grant created the cricket character, Cri-Kee, but most of the directors “didn't want him in the movie, the story department didn't want him in the movie. The only people who truly wanted him in the movie were Michael Eisner and Joe Grant.” According to animator Barry Temple, other writers and animators in meetings would say “'Oh, to hell with the cricket.' They felt Cri-Kee was a character who wasn't necessary to tell the story, which is true." Throughout development on the film, Grant would slip sketches of Cri-Kee under the directors' door.</span></span></div>

The movie</span></span></span><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"> was directed by Ron Clements and John Musker and British cartoonist Gerald Scarfe
was recruited as production designer where over seven hundred
visualization designs of the characters were produced, and research
trips to Greece and Turkey provided inspiration for the background designs. Fun fact: </span></span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">James Woods did a lot of ad-libbing in his recordings, especially in Hades's dialogues with Megara.

I think it's a very inspiring story, and it's a great way to introduce creatures and characters of Greek mythology to kids (even if the story itself is inaccurate). I also think that all the characters are extremely strong. You have the comedy from Phil, the positivity of Hercules, the awesomeness of Meg, and the sarcasm of Hades. It's a great ensemble of characters and it makes the movie extremely fun to watch and quote. </span><br />

The Nightmare Before Christmas originated in a poem written by Tim Burton in 1982, and he originally intended to turn it into a TV special similar to Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer and How the Grinch Stole Christmas. Disney bought the rights but the project's development eventually stalled because its tone seemed "too weird" to the company. Burton and Disney came back together to begin the project in 1990, although Burton did not end up directing because he didn’t want to be involved with "the painstakingly slow process of stop motion". The film was only mildly successful at the box office, but became a cult hit when it was released to home video in 1994 and DVD in 1997. Fun fact: Filmmakers made 227 puppets to represent the characters in the movie. </span></span></div>

Several of the directors, writers, and composer Alan Menken took a trip to Paris and studied Notre Dame and the surrounding area. They received a private tour of hidden passageways and towers, which served as inspiration for Quasimodo’s home. Fun fact: It was decided that the villain Claude Frodo would be a judge instead of an archdeacon, in order to avoid religious controversy with the Church. </span></span><br />

The animation of Notre Dame and the interiors/exteriors of the cathedral are stunning. The music is beautiful and fits the movie well; I really like all the songs in it!

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The second issue I have is that the sequel is absolutely horrible. the animation just looks like nothing else Disney has made and is the worst.

I'm surprised they included Hellfire, but that song is nothing compared to the creepiness of his feelings in the book. Also, I can't help it, Hellfire is a catchy song, it gets stuck in my head!</span></span></div>

"little brat" or "the naughty one."</span></div>

Story time: When I was in 3rd grade, all the classes participated in a music program, and that year the program was "At the Movies". One of the songs we were performing was Colors of the Wind, and being a big fan of the movie and Disney songs in general, I went for one of the solos. Now, it's important to note that this is the only vocal solo I've ever had in my entire life (I am not the best singer, I'm not tone deaf, but I'm definitely no Celine Dion). On the night of the show, I stepped up to the mic, dressed as Pocahontas, holding my small animal companion in my arms, and sung the first two lines of the song. And then nothing. Apparently I was clutching the mic so tightly that I turned the switch off. My parents have video of it, and you hear me sing for all of 3 seconds before it goes silent. So there we go, my only singing solo was silenced. I can't listen to Colors of the Wind without thinking of my lost glory (maybe it was for the best). </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I also loved the way nature was portrayed through the whole movie, and I got very upset as a child when the settlers "hurt" nature. Grandmother Wllow was another favorite. Re-watching it now I so appreciate how Pocahontas is encouraged by many (except for her father and Kocoum) to explore her loves and be adventurous. She's one of the more proactive and empowering Disney Princesses. </span></div>

I love the music and all the nature imagery. I know some people have problems with the historical accuracy, but I like to think of it as its own story, and leave out the context of what really happened (I mean, Pocahontas was like 12 in reality, and that makes everything creepy). I also really like Pocahontas as a character. I think she's a strong, interesting Princess, and I wish she were featured in more Disney things! </span></div>

I love the imagery of her running toward the cliff, and the whole scene after is so moving. </span></div>

Some of this I'm sure is for effect- the more natural and mystical moments are more beautiful while the moments with the settlers are more plain. The best part of the animation overall is the depictions of nature throughout.</span><br />

IT MAKES NO SENSE. It's lager than the car, and none of it is in the car, why wouldn't you put some of your luggage in the empty back seat?? Also, why are you bringing so much?? You aren't gone that long!</span><br />

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"><i>The Lion King. </i>The film was released in 1994 and directed by Roger Allers and Rob Minkoff with music by Hans Zimmer and Elton John. The story was influenced by Shakespeare's play Hamlet. In order to get the animals and their world just right, the animators and other staff of the movie traveled to Hell's Gate National Park in Kenya to study up. The movie received high critical and audience praise when it was originally released. Including sales of its re-release in theaters in 2011, it is the highest grossing <i>hand-drawn</i> animated film of all time. Fun fact: the movie inspired a Broadway show, which opened in 1997 and is now the fourth longest-running Broadway show in history. <b> </b></span></div>

One specific fun memory: we used to have a ton of little Lion King figurines from the Disney store and from happy meals, and instead of making them live in the jungle, we had Simba and friends live in our dollhouses. They were very civilized lions. Then there was the time my sister flushed her Kovu toy down the toilet... </span></div>

I don't watch it as much because Mufasa's death upsets me so much and I can't put myself through that. I was also much more of a princess kinda gal...but I have a very strong appreciation and love of it. I particularly love Timon and Pumba in this: they are just great and I would sometimes skip around to just their parts. </span><br />

The music is absolutely amazing, and the opening scene to the film is one of my favorite openings to any movie ever; it's just so powerful. Also as I've mentioned before I was a huge animal/nature lover as a kid, so seeing the African scenery and animals was really cool for me. I still think it's a beautifully made movie. </span></div>

Like last year, Maddie and I decided to take a break from the blog over the summer since we were living on opposite coasts. But I did get to visit Maddie this time, and we finally went to Disneyland together! I'm a strict Disney World girl, while Maddie is all for Disneyland, so it was very fun to experience something new with her (she's the best tour guide you can get!).<br />
<br />
Anyways, let's get back to the blogging!Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13388021407967951299noreply@blogger.com0
