It's the all animation is Disney syndrome, can't hardly blame them though, everybody in the 90s was following the Disney formula, and "Anastasia" was pretty much Don Bluth giving up to it.

He gave up to it with Thumbalina, Anastasia's at least more creative.

Not all movies Disney has made in the last 9 years have been horrible, just mediocre to say the least, it's just that people realized not all animations is Disney, and all the sequels didn't help at all -though once again, not all of them were that bad-

Maybe they're too busy squeezing money out of tweens with their pop bands and sitcoms. That's why I'm looking forward to the releases of "The Princess and the Frog" and "Rapunzel", there's a good chance they're finally doing their job again.

I think all of their great writers went to Pixar. The Princess and the Frog is supposed to be their big comeback into 2D animation but it looks awful. HOw racist is it that the black girl turns into a frog. Maybe the castle should be a KFC?

I always thoughts Tarzan was pretty good. Not outstanding but pretty cool

Okay first of all 4 of 6 movies you named are masterpieces...The Lion King, Beauty and the Beast, Peter Pan, and Aladdin are movies that tell magical stories, with great characters, catchy songs, fantastic animation, and great voice acting. Even today some of those movies are considered some of the best animated movie's ever made and many revolutionized the way of animation.

So the examples you have are pretty bad examples for a thread about how Disney has lost it's magic.

Second, Disney still makes good movies....just nothing remarkable and magical as before....and personally I don't blame Disney I blame the audience. Today's audience is far more picky and unable to dive into deep stories. Today's audience would rather watch mindless eye candy instead of watching some intelligent Brain Food. Transformers is one of the movies that proves my point.
