** [[Vindicated by History]]: ''Hunchback'' and ''Herc'', at least, have been vindicated by kids of the 90's, mostly thanks to having one of the most [[Complete Monster|evil]] and one of the [[Affably Evil|most genuinely likeable]] villains in the canon (Frollo and Hades, respectively). In addition, they have some of [[Alan Menken]]'s [[Awesome Music|finest soundtracks]] and, in the case of ''Hercules'', being one of the [[Funny Moments|funniest]] films in the canon. ''Pocahontas'' isn't quite as lucky, and is often viewed as the nadir of the Renaissance - even then, it's still somewhat popular. Ironically, it's ''Shrek'' that gets panned now thanks to [[Dreamworks Animation]] endlessly rehashing the ''Shrek'' formula and continually copying [[Pixar]]. |

*** It really says something that Disney's big attempt at bringing back traditional animation was a [[George Lucas Throwback]] to the Renaissance films - ''[[The Princess and the Frog]]''. And their next film, ''[[Tangled]]'', was basically a Renaissance-age hit '''[[In Space|In CGI]]''', complete with good old [[Alan Menken]] providing the soundtrack! |

*** More than a few Disney films have ended up [[Vindicated by History]]: ''[[Alice in Wonderland (Disney film)|Alice in Wonderland]]'', ''[[Pinocchio (Disney film)|Pinocchio]]'', ''[[Fantasia]]'', ''[[Bambi]]'' and ''[[Sleeping Beauty (Disney film)|Sleeping Beauty]]'' were all box office failures. In the case of ''Alice'', ''Bambi'' and ''Fantasia'', they were also critical failures - you heard right, ''Fantasia'' and ''Bambi'', films considered to be the strongest contenders for Uncle Walt's [[Magnum Opus]], were panned by critics when they were first released. Some other [[Box Office Bomb]] Disney films, such as ''[[The Black Cauldron]]'', ''[[The Rescuers Down Under]]'', ''[[Treasure Planet]]'', and ''[[Atlantis: The Lost Empire]]'' have become [[Cult Classic |

* [[Visual Effects of Awesome]]: This ''was'' the codifier (nay, ''maker'') of sophisticated 2D animation as we know it, but the Golden Age films really stand out. |
