The 90s/early 2000s was the best Disney era for male protagonists

This isn't all of them, but these were the best of them, imo. And this is just the characters; how I felt about their movies varies. I hope more Disney films in the future feature male leads--especially musicals!

All right, satisfy my curiosity:
I'm considering the "dark age" to be from 1961 to 1988, slightly longer than the usual time period because I feel like there's a tonal shift after Sleeping Beauty that continues to The Little Mermaid.
No I'm not a Disney Adult. Fuck that company. I'm just a geriatric Millennial who likes cartoons and got to thinking about this.

The Horned King v Turbo/King Candy
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Propaganda:
The Horned King:
"He's an undead skeleton raising an army of undead skeletons AND he has a terrible temper. He's terrifying in every scene he's in!"
This movie bombed because it was scary. Because even Disney couldn't lighten this villain up.
Turbo/King Candy:
"He's not the first twist villain, but he is THE twist villain - carefully built up with references throughout the film, referred to in hushed, almost superstitious tones, and then revealed as a manipulative madman glossing himself over with a thin candy-shell of care and concern. And all this is BEFORE he tries to bludgeon a child on a speeding go-kart and BEFORE he morphs into the nightmare Candybug still intent on killing Ralph and this one child and happy to see yet another world destroyed so long as he gets his way and is preserved himself! He's scary and HUGELY entertain, and deserves to be King here too!"

Almost all of my favorite shows (Rise, Dark Crystal, Inside Job, Infinity Train) were cancelled…BY NETWORKS! Not by writers! Heck! The writers WANTED TO KEEP GOING! To keep making their characters, their art, and their stories told.
Writers are not the problem. Artists are not the problem. They almost never are! Corporations are the problem. Execs are the problem. So many great shows get sabotaged by their own studio (I.E. Rise of the TMNT) and then the studio turns around and acts as though it was the lack of fan engagement. It’s why I tend to watch shows that were made years in the past. They created the problem and now they’re scapegoating writers.
If studios gave up on every show that had a lackluster first season that didn’t pull in the numbers…we wouldn’t have had classics like the Office, OR Parks and Recreation, OR Brooklyn 99. It took a while for those shows to get good.
Writers WANT to create! It’s the studios/corporations that are the problem. It’s A.I. art that is the problem!
Reward writers! Reward artists! Support them! Not the big company’s that don’t respect them!
And don’t ever give up the fight for what you want!

me when I'm a billion dollar corporation that figures out there is a possible way out of paying the artists, writers and actors involved in the shows on my streaming platform any residuals:
Tumblr media
"Disney Removes Dozens Of Series From Disney+ & Hulu, Including ‘Big Shot’, ‘Willow’, ‘Y’ & ‘Dollface’"
i don't believe any of the shows removed or being removed got any physical releases either so they're gone forever. after the hbo max events and now the current WGA strikes (and potentially the SAG strike too) this is definitely going to be a common occurrence now I believe.
Disney claims it's for "content curation" but there is a very big chance this may also be happening because if a streaming service removes a show or film that was a streaming exclusive and never got a physical release or was available on another platform, residuals do not have to be paid. anyways the rise of piracy shall come again
(obligatory "you guys weren't pirating corporate media before?" comment. I mean, I was! but I know many people weren't!)

What is, in your opinion, the worst Disney animated film?
It's Wish. Not just because that's the hot seat that I'm sitting in right now, but because just about every other Disney animated film pulls ahead of Wish in every other category.
Dinosaur (2000) had better voice acting than Wish.
Chicken Little (2005) had clearer and more compelling character motivations than Wish.
Brother Bear (2003) had more meaningful sidekicks than Wish.
Home on the Range (2004) had a more exciting story than Wish.
The Black Cauldron (1986) had better scene design and world building than Wish.
Atlantis: The Lost Empire (2001) had a main character with more of an impact than the main character inWish.
Oliver & Company (1988) had better songs than Wish.
Pocahontas (1994) at least included a purpose behind introducing the "topic" of diversity to the story through the characters (even if it was poorly executed given the context) while Wish had no discernible purpose for introducing it through their characters.
Even Disney's worst other movies have more going for them than Wish: usually where they failed was reading the room and picking an audience that would like it. Like, nobody was really interested to see Atlantis: The Lost Empire, or Oliver Twist but with cats and dogs.
Which makes it more painful: audiences wanted to see Wish. Everybody likes a new Disney musical fantasy-adventure movie. And this was supposed to be a celebration of everything people love about Disney, so that would've added appeal to the audiences of Wish.
But Wish took that and totally dropped the ball.
If you were hoping for a less-recent, broader ranking of Worst Disney Movies:
Wish
Strange World
The Black Cauldron
There ya go!

with jim henson trending on tumblr I urge everyone to watch the dark crystal (2019) it was produced by the jim henson company and netflix and one of the producers is jims daughter. if you like epic fantasy and miss practical effects and shows where it’s clear so much soul and hard work was poured into it? watch the dark crystal. It’s really good and it never got the love it deserved

The Gargoyles attempt to reason with a Dragon - and the resulting battle, high in the skies above Castle Wyvern, will change their destiny forever!
