Kiki CannonHOST
But having watched it again as an adult, I think I know why this was not really the movie that spoke to me And
JP TuesdayHOST
I bring up that it came out against Little Mermaid because, yeah, that was the beginning of the Disney renaissance.
JP TuesdayHOST
That was Disney going back to... basics, the princess story, the musical, even further modernizing Walt's way of doing films, even more than what Don Bluth was doing.
JP TuesdayHOST
And they had the backing of Disney money to do it.
JP TuesdayHOST
They hadn't exactly gone into computers yet.
JP TuesdayHOST
But once Disney started using computers in their 2D animation, the switch flipped back to them.
JP TuesdayHOST
And it's called the Disney Renaissance for a reason.
Kiki CannonHOST
I think the reason why All Dogs looks the way it does, though, is that the movie is set in 1939, and I think that Don Bluth was trying to get that, like, 1940s-ish style to the animation, where it's a little bit more squash watercolor kind of feel.
CarterHOST
And I would go so far as to argue it is a very important film in the Disney canon in terms of making Disney cool again.
CarterHOST
While this is technically a Renaissance release, it was released in the mid-90s, I would argue that its popularity, because it did well enough on initial release, but it wasn't considered a runaway success anymore.
CarterHOST
Not nearly to the extent the other Disney Renaissance animated movies are.
CarterHOST
Right.
CarterHOST
But it became a huge fixation of early 2000s.
Sam SummersHOST
The music sounds very different, but the roles that the songs perform are quite similar.
Sam SummersHOST
It is... very much a musical, isn't it? A lot of those Disney Renaissance movies, you don't realize, have four, five, six songs in.
Sam SummersHOST
Four or six songs, if you're using the Henry Selick arithmetic method.
Sam SummersHOST
This has 10 songs.
JamesGUEST
I'm like, that might be better.
JamesGUEST
And then I hit the Renaissance in the 80s and 90s, and I'm like, I don't think I can pick one of these.
JamesGUEST
And I don't think I'm willing to keep on going at this point.
JamesGUEST
So I embraced nostalgia, just like Sean did.
DaveHOST
Directed by Barry Cook and Tony Bancroft.
DaveHOST
This movie is huge in the Disney Renaissance.
DaveHOST
There's a lot of history in this legend, as I said before.
DaveHOST
This is obviously the Disney 5 version.
Uncle MickeyVOICE_ACTOR
seems.
Uncle MickeyVOICE_ACTOR
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
JohnnyHOST
This is, again, like you mentioned, it's a huge part of the Disney Renaissance.
JohnnyHOST
So it's one of those movies that a lot of people have seen.

Carmen GabrielGUEST
when i was listening to your disney renaissance episode I appreciate the honesty that we had in that conversation around our childhood animated crushes.
Carmen GabrielGUEST
You know, it's a topic that can teeter into weird adult fetishes, and I think you guys handled it very tastefully.
Kolsky MatthewsGUEST
It's nice to know that.
Kolsky MatthewsGUEST
I think that kicked off the careers of Alan Menken and Howard Ashman, who are the Disney Renaissance composers, composers and lyricists.
Kolsky MatthewsGUEST
And that's how they like, that was part of their journey to getting to Disney and revolutionizing the musical basically.
Kolsky MatthewsGUEST
Okay.
WontonPANELIST
Jag, you should know this.
WontonPANELIST
The Disney Renaissance, it started with Little Mermaid, I think.
WontonPANELIST
And it goes all the way through
Jack MovePANELIST
Beauty and the Beast.
WontonPANELIST
the
DeontayPANELIST
movies...
WontonPANELIST
What I'm saying is all the movies apart of that Disney renaissance, they are all classics.
WontonPANELIST
Literally from the late 80s all the way through the 90s.
MattGUEST
Yeah, it's on Disney+.
MattGUEST
It catalogs the entire Disney renaissance from like 84 to 94.
MattGUEST
So bringing in Katzenberg, the dual CEOs, the ousting at the end, and all the movies that came during that time.
MattGUEST
Oh my goodness.
