On November seventeen, 1989, 25 years ago today, Walt Disney case Pictures' The Little Mermaid started in movie theatres across Levant, swimming into our hearts to kicking off what is now known as the The disney produtcions Renaissance.
After the colossal disappointment with all the 1985 feature The Black Cauldron and slightly more profitable efforts like 1986's The Great Mouse Detective and 1988's Oliver & Company still communicate pummeled at the box office through the process of former Disney iPhone 5 case animator Don Bluth's An American Tail and The Land Earlier Time, respectively, the House of Sensitive mouse was in dire need of a the conversion process. Pivoting back to the music-driven, ornately drawn fairy tales of the studio's heyday, such as Snow White and the 7 Dwarfs, Cinderella, and Sleeping Enchantment, then-CEO Michael Eisner hired lyricist Howard Ashman and composer Mike Menken, known for working together on the excellent Off-Broadway production Little Shop involved with Horrors, to write the songs to your ambitious new film: an computer animated adaptation of Hans Christian Anderson's The Little Mermaid.
Thankfully, the result must have been a critical and commercial success, attaining a higher weekend gross than Bluth's All Dogs Go to Heaven, whom opened the same weekend, and eventually damaging the Land Before Time's record involved with highest-grossing animated film. The Little Mermaid also won two Academy Honors, for Best Original Score and for Extremely Original Song ("Under the Sea"), and breathed new life directly what had hitherto been virtually any fading empire. After struggling using a string of commercial flops from the early-'70s to the mid-'80s, the Walt The disney produtcions Company was finally back ahead, with 1989 marking the birth of the studio's new golden days.
Disney would go on to release an andividual animated musical a year for the next years, resulting in 10 motion pictures that are more popular as the Disney Renaissance oeuvre. Therefore get ready for some prime millennial melancolia as we rank each of the outings out of meh to magnificent, and let all of know in the comments section whom films you still love, which ones you can not stand, and which VHS heurts you broke from rewinding to playing over and over.
