What would millions of viewers be without Disney classics? What would the history of cinema be, eliminating the limits of the animated genre, without this set of masterpieces that have marked several generations over the decades? It’s better not even to do the exercise of imagining it, because we would be talking about a much sadder, dull and empty seventh art.
The Disney classics of the 90s, from worst to best
10 “Rescuers in Kangarooland”
More ambitious than its predecessor and supported by a greater amount of action and visual display, “The rescuers in Kangarooland” has failed in something essential like capturing, transmitting and spreading that charm so characteristic of the first installment. And that, especially during its first installment, the film offers some really dazzling scenes both from a technical and narrative point of view, but everything ends up being too chaotic, predictable and noisy in an excessive final climax. Much ado about nothing. Or cheese.

9 “Fantasy 2000”
Although the title indicates otherwise, the premiere of ‘Fantasia 2000’ took place on December 17, 1999 at the prestigious Carnegie Hall in New York, which justifies its presence in this special, even if it occupies one of the lower positions. A position in the list that, above all, serves to understand the very high level that Disney has maintained throughout this decade.since we are facing a film that, if it were born in the next decade, would be fighting for gold. Unforgettable classic themes and images of extraordinary beauty for a classic that is always ready to be claimed and that it was only (very) negatively impacted by emerging on such an excellent Disney stage.

8 ‘Pocahontas’
The tape was located at infinity itself. Disney just delivered three priceless masterpieces (“Beauty and the Beast”, “Aladdin” and “The Lion King”), so “Pocahontas” had something between the complicated and the impossible. And the inevitable happened: falling collection figures and a much less enthusiastic response from critics. However, time has added defenders to Mike Gabriel and Eric Goldberg’s proposal, thus reevaluating a proposal that, seen today, is a remarkable entertainment of adventure, romance, epic, and a sense of humor. And great songs, of course, but that was already appreciated at the time.

7 ‘Mulan’
Even better valued after the disastrous live-action remake released a couple of years ago, ‘Mulan’ was already a remarkable film in 1998. A powerful story, an unforgettable protagonist, supporting characters who always provided effective humor, a masterful soundtrack, extra dose of epic and one of the best final climaxes in Disney history. A resounding creative success from the first to the last scene.

6 ‘Hercules’
For its soundtrack alone, one of the best in Disney history, “Hercules” deserves a standing ovation from any lover of the studio’s animated universe. But is that, in addition, we are talking about a total gem boasting a memorable villain, a charismatic lead duo, dazzling action, and comedic supporting roles that work a treat. In short: a classic with all the letters.

5 ‘The hunchback of Notre Dame’
Above all, ‘The Hunchback of Notre Dame’ remains one of the most underrated masterpieces in the Disney catalog. Epic, dark, vibrant, and visually beautiful beyond praise, the Gary Trousdale and Kirk Wise-directed classic has taken the passage of time to gain its well-deserved recognition as one of the studio’s undisputed standouts, but better late than never. these are such great movies. It is better not to forget it anymore: ‘The Hunchback of Notre Dame’ is one of the best proposals with the Disney stamp of the 90s and one of the most memorable animated offerings of that decade.

4 ‘Tarzan’
There are not a few films made by the Disney factory that deserve a complaint, especially for the unfair way they ended up lost amidst classics with greater commercial recognition. One of the most outstanding of this set is, without a doubt, ‘Tarzan’, one of the best and most inspired proposals released by the studio in the nineties. And in its history.
And it is that, after all, the jewel directed by Kevin Lima and Chris Buck can seem perfectly on par with animated masterpieces such as ‘The Hunchback of Notre Dame’, ‘Aladdin’, ‘Mulan’ or ‘Hercules’, works with which ‘Tarzan’ shares more than one virtue. Fun, excitement, great songs, fast-paced action, a wonderful sense of adventure, and most of all, an unforgettable cast of characters, real soul, heart and brawn for a vibrant ensemble.

3 ‘The beauty and the Beast’
When it comes to establishing a tidy list of studio classics, “Beauty and the Beast” always comes out on top, retaining a popular vigor which has by no means diminished, as demonstrated by the worldwide response to its live action remake. And it is that there are so many points of connection between this story and the viewers that one cannot get tired of returning again and again to that unforgettable castle, letting oneself be accompanied by a collection of characters that come to mind willing to stay forever. .
This is why it’s always a good time to revisit ‘Beauty and the Beast’, to get carried away by one of those stories for which the term ‘magic’ doesn’t quite fit. Several decades after its release, this pinnacle of animated cinema remains unable to age, demonstrating a hypnotic power in generations and generations who grew up with their protagonists, always getting excited as if it was the first time you saw them. Unforgettable songs, a wonderful visual ending, a devilish rhythm, an infectious charm… These are just some of the factors why we can consider ‘Beauty and the Beast’ as one of the best and most important classics from the Disney factory.

Two ‘Aladdin’
If ‘The Lion King’ didn’t exist, we’d be talking about the great film of Disney’s second golden age in the late eighties and early nineties. Able to mix adventure and romance in the best studio tradition, ‘Aladdin’ had one trick up his sleeve that took him from remarkable to exceptional: his genie lamp. Robin Williams’ creation continues to be The Reference today when it comes to comedic supporting roles with the ability to steal the spotlight from anyone and is, without a doubt, one of the most charismatic and unforgettable characters in the history of animated cinema.

1 ‘The Lion King’
Remember the first time you saw that stampede? Remember that last moment between Simba and Mufasa? Next to him, the beginnings of ‘Bambi’ or, more recently, ‘Finding Nemo’, seem like a joke. ‘The Lion King’, in addition to becoming The Definitive Disney Classic for an entire generation that continues to refer to it as the masterpiece of the studio, has challenged those children who saw fascinated to accept a new dramatic coup capable of transforming childhood into a world much darker place. But also much more real.
Crying with the history of these unforgettable characters doesn’t have much merit, it falls within coherence and sensitivity, what is really important is that it hasn’t lost an iota of ability to continue to cause those recognizable sensations in the viewer. That’s what the classics have. And here is one of the most golden and most loved in the history of cinema.

And it is that, even in its lowest moments, we are talking about a study that has given us many wonderful films, many unforgettable moments, many legendary songs and many characters who are already absolute icons that, beyond intelligent analysis, we can only show our gratitude. And if we think about his legacy corresponding to the nineties, we add a standing ovation.
Let’s go back to the questions. How many classics enter in just ten years? How many times can a tape located at infinity be passed? Will a decade at Disney be as overwhelming in quality and quantity as the one we recall here? It is impossible to answer this last question, although the last decade of study has not gone below the remarkable in any case, but, as regards the first two questions, let us try to give the solution in this very special one.
