Planning to pull all that unsourced nonsense about television animation[edit]

As far as I can discern, the published record defines the Disney Renaissance in terms of Walt Disney Feature Animation's feature-length films. By the way, I was just in Anaheim last weekend watching a bunch of people reminisce about their work on the films of the Disney Renaissance, including Jodi Benson, Mark Henn, and Eric Goldberg. They were also talking, of course, about Howard Ashman, and Disney's Animation Research Library showed some recently digitized archival footage showing how carefully Ashman had thought through the depiction of Ariel in The Little Mermaid. Guess who shot four of the five photos currently in this article. So I know a thing or two about the Renaissance.

Unless someone starts adding citations to reliable sources soon, I am going to delete all that unsourced nonsense as violations of WP:NOR, WP:NPOV, and WP:V. --Coolcaesar (talk) 19:10, 17 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, it's done. I've taken out the trash. --Coolcaesar (talk) 22:05, 16 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Confused by the "Disney Renaissance"[edit]

The section titled "Impact on the company (2009–present)" makes the statement:

Many have hailed Walt Disney Animation Studios’ theatrical film releases from 2009 to onward as a return to form, referring to this era in Disney history as the Disney Revival or even the new Disney Renaissance.

This implies that any films released after 2008 would fall into this period, yet the following section on "Remakes" says:

Beauty and the Beast, directed by Bill Condon, was released on March 17, 2017, as the first live-action adaptation of the Disney Renaissance.

I know a live-action adaptation of The Jungle Book was released in 2016, so is this statement made in error or is The Jungle Book film intentionally being excluded from the "Disney Renaissance" for a reason not explained in this article? Dorm41baggins (talk) 02:00, 8 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The "Disney Renaissance" is the period of time between the release of The Little Mermaid in 1989 and Tarzan in 1999. The animated version of The Jungle Book came out well before then in 1967, and thus is not part of the Disney Renaissance. There were multiple live action remakes of animated Disney movies that came out before 2017's Beauty and the Beast, including The Jungle Book in 2016, but the 2017 BatB was the first live action remake to be based on one of the "Disney Renaissance" movies. 2600:1700:B280:B1C0:44CA:D6EA:2E22:4AD5 (talk) 04:18, 23 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
