Disney Renaissance

[ClassyCo]

Yess, and I usually love Phil Collins, but I don't like this one at all!

Well, I must admit that is a little baffling to me. TARZAN was a favorite of mine as a kid, and even though I didn't like it quite as much as I did when I was a kid, I still really like it. The soundtrack, for me, is fantastic and they're all songs I can listen to outside of the context of the movie.

But, as they say, to each their own.

Well if lists are happening, how can I resist.

This is where I miss the pre-crash information, as I did my definitive ranking in the old Disney thread, fresh from watching. I do recall that Beauty and the Beast was my #1 of all the Disney Classics I watched then (I'm feeling that wouldn't be the case now and Sleeping Beauty would probably reclaim top slot).


Apart from The Lion King, I've only watched each film from the Renaissance Era once and that was a decade or so ago. But I think it would look something like this:

1. Beauty and the Beast
2. The Lion King
3. The Little Mermaid
4. The Hunchback Of Notre-Dame
5. Tarzan
6. Pocahontas
7. Mulan
8. Aladdin
9. Hercules

While I have the Blu-ray, I've yet to watch The Rescuers Down Under. The original film ranked very highly for me in my Disney marathon, though, so I'm hopeful the sequel would come somewhere in the middle of the above list, if not higher.

I almost felt like I was cheating by not watching THE RESCUERS DOWN UNDER because it, technically, is inside the Disney Renaissance. However, it doesn't look like it should be, and considering it's a sequel to another movie I've never seen, I just decided to skip it entirely. I might go back and watch the original RESCUERS and DOWN UNDER just to see, but I might not.

Rescuers might be a big surprise for you. Cruella is Snow White compared to its villainess Madame Medusa. The sequel is ok but the animation is top notch, and the songless score by Dallas's Bruce Broughton is refreshing and lively.

I know it's not Renaissance but I prefer Brother Bear's soundtrack by Collins. But that's moi! Lol
