Why do you think critics panned Disney animation features between 1966 and 1985?

Disney Studios was assumed to be conservative, Republican, and therefore not "politically correct," although that term had not yet gained general usage.  That term was "borrowed" from the Soviets, who had only one party.  You were either politically correct or an enemy of the state.  So the Democrats, who had more clout in the media than the Republicans, made fun of Disney and considered their products too sweet and cute, not fashionably cynical.

Of course I've seen it.  It was hilarious, but frankly, I think it would be kind of dated now.

He attempted to make some more "arty" films in the '80's and the critics yawned. I kind of like "One From The Heart", but probably because Tom Waits' music is in it. With the exception of Robert Altman, I've found that the older a director gets, the more preachy they get, which just kills my interest. Spielberg is practically unwatchable now.

I looked up the amazon reviews for "The Ten Commandments" and it seems that this is just another case of a studio putting out an anniversary DVD full of extras, but avoiding the expense of restoring the film to its original glory.\n\nAs a huge film buff I'm always excited to see new DVDs of the classics, especially the Criterion Collection, but more often than not the quality of the film looks like it was transferred directly from a VHS tape.\n\nThere are certain people in the industry, Quentin Tarantino, for example (love him or hate him), who rereleases the films he has always loved only after painstakingly restoring every frame. Sadly, in this case it looks like the fiftieth anniversary only warranted Paramount taking on an extra disc which includes DeMille's 1923 first attempt at filming the story. Is that interesting? Yes. Would I like to see it? Yes. However, it's not worth the expense of buying multiple copies of the same movie.\n\nSorry, Schneb, but it looks like this one's a dud where the bottom line ruled in favor of making something that true collectors would be proud to show. I guess you should rent it if you're interested in seeing the 1923 version.\n\nI couldn't find any information on The Robe on amazon.

Do you live near a Best Buy? They have them for $6.99 Widescreen. I'f you don't live near one you can order from them online. \n\nPS I love that movie!!! When I was younger I didn't realize what it was they were doing. I couldn't figure out why George Burns was the only one who actually spoke, but I liked the music. When I hit my 20's I saw it again because I worked for Blockbuster and we played it one night on the overhead monitors. I was really surprised at all of the people I recognized, and this time I got the idea behind just using the music to tell the story. It was great.

You know, that is the most interesting take on the whole philosophical probelm of the 20th century*.\n\n My guess is that Disney was making the point that standing upright, using tools and speech were an important part of being granted human rights; Since Goofy at least managed to grasp those concepts, he had more rights than Pluto did. \n\n * This is of course the question "Mickey is a mouse, Donald is a duck, pluto is a dog, so What's Goofy?"

I think mainly because Disney caters to their audience and what generates money.  Happily ever after is what people seem to expect, so Disney will manipulate a storyline to accomidate.

I agree. 2-D cartoons will always be classic. The only reason Pixar is so successful is because of the stories they choose to illustrate. Other movie studios just jumped on the bandwagon when they saw how successful Pixar was, and decided to pump out CG animation too but they didn't realize that just because it's 3D doesn't mean it'll be a big hit.

Disney World opened in 1971.  I couldn't find an exact date, but I at least have a source to back it up.

I love that movie! I think it was the best movie I have ever seen. Pixar's animation was great- and the voices they used for the characters matched them perfectly. The cars they used all looked very authentic; they looked as if they just jumped on to the screen. Every detail was there. Like the way they use Volkswagen Beetles as the bugs and the Details on Lightning: 95- his number- being the year Toy Story came out (Pixar's First animated film) and his brand tires Lightyear, as in Buzz Lightyear.   'm very pleased with the turnout of this movie. Much better than Toy Story, A Bug's Life, and every other Pixar Film put together.

you're off to a good start, though i'd argue full metal jacket was weighed down by the second half of the film (interesting that you have two kubrick films there). \n\nif i had to pick one i'd say "iron giant, a brilliant animated feature by brad bird, who later went on to direct the incredibles from pixar.  think it's easy to overlook animation as a quality film but this was a great movie regardless of genre. \n\nalso think "my left foot" was somewhat overlooked as a great film despite the recognition for daniel day lewis.  \n\nlastly would add "trainspotting", in which ewan mcgregor gave one of the great acting performances of the last ten years in my opinion (actually thought he was a real heroin user and not an actor).

Of all the 80's toons I think you probably hit on the two big ones there.\n\nI too enjoyed and watched Thundercats and Transformers religiously whenever I got the chance.
