I've said it once and I'll say it again...

NOTHING is as over-represented as the Little Mermaid in DLR. One of the very few gifts from Pixar Pier is somehow a reduction in Mermaid.

It's literally impossible for them to host a show, parade or otherwise without Ariel. Even the Frozen Girls are absent now from several night offerings.

The thing that's extra baffling to me is Lion King. I think it was definitely overexposed in the 90's... but from a park perspective (worldwide) it's weirdly very limited. The most prominent usage being the stage show in AK/Hong Kong. I personally feel the same for Aladdin from the big four Renaissance films, but I at least understand that was arguably the smallest of the four. Plus technically there is a soft-land for it in Tokyo.

The Magic Kingdom at Walt Disney World used to have an indoor Lion King stage show with puppets around 1994 or 1995 before AK existed.

Black Cauldron has an unfair reputation IMO. I actually owe Chicken Little a bit of gratitude.

At one point I had a goal to own every movie in the official Disney Animated Canon. And I got fairly close.

Then I found Chicken Little on Netflix and watched it.

I hated that movie so much that the goal stopped cold. And so there are ten or so mediocre movies that Disney will not get my money for because of it, which helps with my financials. Thank you Chicken Little!

Most non ubers love mermaid the most out of the 90s films. Why exactly that movie I'm not sure. I guess just a lot of them grew up with it.
This one I don't need youtube for a source, I just know a lot of people who love mermaid.

Mermaid was the first feature animated film with a story centered around a female lead in 30 years when it came out. She was the first prominent princess since Aurora. Sort of amazing when you think about it. It seemed like every girl I knew as a child or at that time or meet later in life pretended or used to pretend to be Ariel when swimming. It was a Frozen level phenomenon of a film. It was also the strongest musical film with more than one memorable song in quite a while....since Cinderella maybe?

I have never seen Chicken Little, Treasure Planet, Home on the Range, Dinosaur, or Bolt. I recently forced myself to watch Meet the Robinsons for the first time.

Home on the Range was better than I expected. Treasure Planet and Dinosaur have beautiful visuals but little else of substance.

Bolt came out when I was working at a movie theater and we had just gotten 3D capability in one of the theaters. Now they hand the customers the glasses when they buy tickets, but at that time they used sturdier glasses and had an employee in the theater to hand out the glasses, make sure the glasses didn't leave the theater, and collect them again at the end of the movie. And one day, by pure luck, I was put on 3D duty, so I got to watch Bolt on the clock! It was a nice little movie that I haven't seen since. Definitely worth checking out.

Chicken Little is just an abomination. Hideous character design, unlikable characters, packed to the brim with pop culture references, and a disjointed story. I can't think of anything positive Chicken Little brings to the table. It is rock bottom.

Meet the robinsons is great IMO.
Bolt I remember being meh growing up. Would've loved to see how it's original concept, American Dog would have been like, but part of me believes it would have been meh too.
I grew up with chicken little, so it has an odd nostalgia effect for me, but not one too big because it is pretty bad. My favorite scene was honestly the end where the dad alien looks at his watch and it's a mickey watch, but mickey had three eyes. I honestly wanted that to be real merch. Still do.
Home of the range I don't remember too much of other than the songs and that one sad scene for some reason.
Dinosaur I only saw the beginning of because I saw it at one of my schools. I think there was a pee joke.
Only ones I haven't seen are treasure planet and alantis. I've heard things about how they are underrated and stuff, but are they actually good is what really matters to me. I have no interest of seeing either, but I would love to hear what you guys think of these two films.

They're not.

Being left out of this conversation is Emperor's New Groove and Lilo and Stitch. Both of which I say aren't that great.

Yeah, I've been collecting the Disney animated films- and while owning every one sounds nice, they've had some real duds. I will never allow Meet The Robinsons to stand alongside Beauty and the Beast and The Lion King on my shelf.

Surprised to hear that Lilo & Stitch isn't well thought of. I believe it was easily Disney's best during that dry period.

I remember Lilo and Stitch is huge in Japan and Tokyo Disneyland even had an entire parade and event dedicated to Stitch back in 2007.

Just tried to watch Atlantis for the first time since it was in theaters. I couldn't make it past 20 minutes. Forgot how bad some of those later Disney films are.

Lol that’s about exactly how far I got my first and only time watching. It’s the only Disney animated movie I haven’t been able to sit through so far.

Preach, brother.

'Home On The Range' = Absolute tripe.
'Cauldron' is a masterpiece compared to such an example.

Not sure it’s THE worst but it’s definitely in the Bottom 3-5. If we re talking canon. With that said, I think Goofy Movie and Brave Little Toaster are probably better than the worst 5-10 canon movies at least.

Side note: it’s about time I watch Home on the Range. I need to see if it gives Atlantis a run for its money.
