Ah, Disney is the 90s........

[Missing20K]

Sorry I feel like I have to defend myself.

Now if you want to say that The Lion King was the highest grossing 2D Disney animated movie in it's first theatrical release, then I have no ground to stand on. I was unaware the older movies made so much money due to re-releases. On that I will defer to you.

I was under the impression the discussion was about total gross.

The only records of Snow White's initial 1937 gross is $8.5 million Worldwide. (USA-only gross unavailable)

and to keep with the thread. Walt era is the best for movies. See the first link with Snow White and Fantasia as they top the charts

I've been laughing hysterically all the way through this thread. Its errupted into a debate all because of topic of whether or not Disney was better in the 90s or the 80s. Kinda silly when you think about it.:lol:

Please check your facts before posting...

That list is incorrect.

The original worldwide gross was $8.5 million :lookaroun

(Snow White's original gross is not the only movie that is incorrect in the link you posted above)

Read...Adjusted for gross was my posted link. Even what you posted stated that

The original worldwide gross was $8.5 million, a figure that would translate into several hundreds of millions of dollars today.

Another person who has no idea how the adjusted for inflation list works.

The adjusted for inflation gross in that 2nd link includes all the tickets Snow White sold in all of its many, many re-releases.

Snow White only sold aprox. 36.96 million tickets Worldwide in its original release back in 1937 and that's the number people should be using when creating an accurate adjusted list.

The original worldwide gross was $8.5 million, a figure that would translate into several hundreds of millions of dollars today.

It depends on which year you are adjusting Snow White's original gross into when it comes to whether or not the total will be in the "several hundreds of millions of dollars."

If you translate the 36.96 million tickets into the average price of a movie ticket in 2008 which is $7.08, you come up with a total of $261,652,173.

A total that is in the "several hundreds of millions of dollars."

Please take the time to actually understand how the adjusted for inflation list works before wasting my time in this debate.

I was under the impression this discussion was about Disney in the 90's being the best decade or not :shrug:

Sorry, the mini-discussion between myself and the other poster within the discussion. I guess I should have clarified.

My apologies for my contribution to the thread drift. :wave:

Late 80's thru the 90's were my favorite years of Disney. I still remember watching the Grand Opening of the Disney-MGM Studios on TV and then I watched it on VHS so many times that it wore out the tape. :lol: I really wish I could see it again.

I watched The Disney Afternoon everyday after school. I looked forward to every new Disney movie. I remember seeing Aladdin in theater 4 of the Missouri City Cinema and Lion King in theater 2. I had 4 big Disney posters on my wall and many little collectables including my personalized Mouse Ears on a shelf over my bed which all got lost when we moved

Anyways, i've loved Disney all my life and I don't think that will ever stop. I've lived out my dream of being a Cast Member and I will return one day.

Raise your hand if you had Disney Channel when it was a subscription cable channel :wave:

 

[wesTcoastY]

[tare]

Nope. Hamlet.

I'm quite aware of that. :animwink:

I miss any era where this thread didn't exist.

I just wish Disney was doing things in the present day that folks in the future were going to be putting into a Golden Age category.

I don't see that ... and I had my rose-colored (sun) glasses on all day today too!

Honestly guys, I feel like The Princess and the Frog is going to be the start of a whole new 'Disney Era' that will be looked back apon as the era that was responsible for bringing back a demand for hand drawn animation. It will ignite the love and passion for hand drawn animation with the Nemo and Shrek kids of our generation. I am confidend that we are almost apon what will soon be known worldwide as the Second Disney Renaissance.

I certainly hope so.

Disney follows the economy. The economy was generally on the upswing throughout the 80s and 90s, and Disney expanded with it. Since 2001, the economy has been in the crapper, and Disney has, for the most part, limited their projects to sure-fire revenue generators (DVC) and cut costs where it would hurt the least.

On the plus side, the 2000s could be considered a golden age for one reason: Disney's purchase of Pixar.

i love the disney 90s but thats probably because i grew up with them. I remember waking up really early before school sometimes to do mousercize! and when i was sick i got to stay home and watch ducktails, darkwing duck and tailspin. AND at sleepovers my best friend and i would stay up past midnight so we could watch classic episodes of the mickey mouse club on vault disney. Im such a nerd! Finally, disney introduced princesses that actually looked like me in this decade. Im Japanese, Spanish and white so none of the princesses looked like me until the 90s. Pocahontas, Jasmine and Mulan were all my favorites because when my friends and i dressed up I actually resembled those characters. I miss the good old days.
