Why They're the Forfather of Animation History

  1. The man named Walt Disney who was creating and producing the films from Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs to The Jungle Book.
  2. Mickey Mouse, Disney's own creation, as their mascot and he's still popular to this day.
  3. Back during the Golden Age of Hollywood animation in the 1930s-1960s, Disney's animated feature films produced by the studio are essentially Golden Age animation in it's purest form, with Warner Bros. Looney Tunes, the most popular theatrical cartoon series of the time, being the only theatrical animated output of the time that ever came close to the quality (and popularity) of the Disney Animated Canon's feature films.
  4. The animation in their movies looks beautiful and unique, for both traditional animation and CGI.
  5. Great voice acting in most of their movies, with Alan Tudyk voicing at least one character in every Walt Disney Animation Studios film, starting with Wreck-It Ralph.
  6. The films that are great became successful, such as from their Renaissance films like The Little Mermaid, Beauty and the Beast, Aladdin, and The Lion King, the films from the Post-Renaissance "Experimental Era" like Lilo & Stitch, and most of their films from the Revival-era are great as well.
  7. It was spawned into TV shows that we're based on the films like TaleSpin, The Little Mermaid, Aladdin, Timon & Pumbaa, Jungle Cubs, Hercules: The Animated Series, The Legend of Tarzan, Lilo & Stitch: The Series, The Emperor's New School, The Lion Guard, Tangled: The Series and Big Hero 6: The Series and while Disney's House of Mouse has a lot of Disney animated film characters that appeared in.
  8. Plenty of Easter eggs from the other Disney animated films.
  9. The villains in most of their movies are pretty entertaining.
  10. It became one of the most successful animated film companies to exist.
  11. Dinosaur was Disney's first traditionally animated movie with animated characters combined with real-life backgrounds, which should be done more often.
  12. Big Hero 6 was also the first Disney animated feature film to star characters from Marvel Entertainment, which the Walt Disney Company acquired in 2009 and thus gave special thanks to that subsidiary.
  13. Unlike many other animation studios of today and sharing with its counterpart Pixar, WDAS is known for creating or adapting rich, diverse and original stories that blend in various genres, cultures and elements. They rarely make sequels out of their movies and don't try to appeal to a subset of audiences. This is a stark contrast to its competitors whose films suffer from staying in the comedy genre and trying to be hip and trendy, as well as sequel-ridden.

Bad Qualities

  1. Some films are way too melodramatic in which they use a plot with tons of drama to tangle with your emotions. While it is a good idea on paper, it ends up becoming corny and inconsistent.
  2. Some of their films have bombed at the box-office, mostly due to poor marketing, such as Pinocchio, Fantasia, Bambi, Strange World and the list goes on.
  3. Chicken Little is mostly considered to be the worst movie from the studio.
