At one point, Disney could do no wrong. From 1989's The Little Mermaid, the Mouse House reeled off a series of classics in a period known as the Disney Renaissance, a hot streak of legendary animated films that became deeply ingrained in the shared childhood memories of millions.
It's worth listing them here just to bask in an achievement that might never be matched again: The Little Mermaid. The Rescuers Down Under. Beauty and the Beast. Aladdin. The Lion King. Pocahontas, The Hunchback of Notre Dame. Hercules. Mulan. Tarzan. In one 10-year span, Disney once again became a storytelling powerhouse.
