Over the past few years, I have been doing a series of
retrospectives on the many, many animated features that Walt Disney Animation
Studios has produced since the 1930’s. It started all the way back in November
2013 when I did a Retrospective on Disney’s slate of films from the 90’s, a
period known as the Disney Renaissance. This was done in honor of the release
of the studio’s then-newest effort, Frozen, but at the time I’ll admit that this
was originally just a one-time thing. I was considering doing more Retrospectives
for Disney Animation but I didn’t really have the means to do so at the time.
In other words, I didn’t own a lot of the films on modern-era home media
devices. However, when the studio’s 55th animated feature, Zootopia, was set to come out this past
March, I decided to do another Retrospective, this time covering every major Disney
animated film released since 2000. Thanks to this Retrospective, I decided to
finally continue this series and then proceeded to finish covering the
remaining four major decades of the studio’s animated history; the 60’s/70’s,
the 80’s, the 30’s/40’s, and the 50’s. Now that the ‘Retrospective’ series is
over, I decided to end my discussion of Disney Animation (for now, at least…)
on a high note. So with that said, I’m happy to announce that this November,
Rhode Island Movie Corner will be celebrating ‘Disney Month’*! In honor of the
impending release of Disney Animation’s 56th (that’s right, 56th!)
animated feature, Moana, all throughout
the month of November I will be honoring the best of Disney Animation, from the
heroes to the villains to the songs. The schedule will be as follows:
NOVEMBER 4TH- RANKING THE DISNEY PRINCESSES
NOVEMBER 8TH- TOP 5 DISNEY ‘PROTAGONISTS’/TOP 5 DISNEY SIDEKICKS
NOVEMBER 11TH- TOP 10 DISNEY VILLAINS
NOVEMBER 18TH- TOP 10 FAVORITE DISNEY SONGS
NOVEMBER 23RD- RANKING ALL 55 DISNEY ANIMATED FEATURES
So be sure to stay
tuned for what will be a major celebration of the best of the best from the
‘House of Mouse’.
*DISCLAIMER: This is
in no way affiliated with the ‘Disneycember’ series that Doug Walker does on
Channel Awesome. I also want to make it clear that this is not trying to be a
‘clone’ of what he does every December. I’m not doing any reviews of the
previous Disney animated films this month (I already did that with the
retrospective series), I’m just doing a series of Top 5/Top 10 lists.
