Classic Disney Question

Do 21st-century era movies such as The Princess and the Frog deserve the same respect amongst fans as classic/Renaissance Disney movies?

From Snow White on, every animated Disney movie was an instant classic. What I've noticed, however, is that post-Disney Renaissance, many movies that I personally loved (i.e., The Princess and the Frog or Tangled) are being looked down upon by some fans. These are the same people who are always complaining that Disney is going downhill and needs to go back to the good old days. What I'd like to know is do you think Disney IS still making good movies? If not, what do they need to change in what they're doing?

Disney not perfect, they can't always make mind blowing movies all the time,They do still make amazing movies though, like toy story trilogy, wall-e, Ratatouille, those movies was one of the best movie in their year and I think in the next 10-20 years they can be labeled as great classic movies, but I don't think princess and the frog,tangled or cars can be the same level as them, I'm sorry but those movie missing something special, maybe our grandchildren can see them as classic but that just because it was old movie in their eyes

What I consider classic Disney movies are the movies that make me feel like a kid again watching them. When I first sat down to watch The Princess and The Frog, I felt like I was 7 again. Same thing with Tangled, although I'd have like it more if it were made in 2D style like the older movies. They don't have to be musicals either, I love Atlantis the lost Empire.

I have never met a Disney movie I haven't fallen in love with. Tangled, the Princess and the Frog, Cars? I don't understand how someone couldn't love them. I smile like an idiot the whole time I watch them. I have a big family and all my little cousins love these movies, I'm not little, I've been around for a while now and I love thse movies. I'm disapointed Disney has discontinued their princess line, now I think they might start making some trash, if they are anything like the shows on Disney channel right now. I think Disney is making beautiful, enchanting, good old fashioned fun movies, and these new movies deserve just as much respect as the Classics, because in my mind, they are Classics.

I love most all Disney movies. I hold all Disney movies in respect. I love Tangled and The Princess and the Frog. I think they were well done and utilized a new form of animation. I think that the 21st century era movies are just as good as the classic/renaissance ones. There are movies from both eras that could have been better. I personally am not crazy about Toy Story and some of the other Pixar films (but think they are good) and other ones I like a lot. I think the new upcoming film Brave looks really good. I think there are good and bad movies regardless of time and company. I think it all has to do with personal choice and what you think of the movies.

While Disney has had some great movies since the Classics, they aren't classics to me. When I think Disney Classics I think Cinderella, Snow White, Little Mermaid, etc. The movies I grew up on those are classics because if you think about it they've been out for years and yet they are still as popular as ever. Honestly if you look at statistics The Princess and the Frog didn't make that much money, neither Tangled. Yet Cinderella, Snow White, Little Mermaid, Sleeping Beauty continue to remain on top. Maybe one day the newer Disney movies will be classics but they just aren't there yet. But Disney is not going downhill, they are doing great.

Tangled and The Princess and the Frog aren't classics. Yet, They may be some day, but for now it's not. It;s like books. After some amount of time, if people still have a place for them in their heart, they become a classic. I think if we just give them some time, they'll become classics.

Disney is not going downhill. It's just not producing as movies as it used to. But the movies they do put out are good. Disney is something that will live on well beyond any of us.

well the 21th centuy disney movies deserve respect. they are great movies, for the younger and the older generation. But in my opinion the disney magic from the classic movies is not there anymore. The precision and the love behind the story is missing.

I think that if "Princess and the Frog" had been made and released say, 15 or 20 years ago, it would have been more successful and fit in perfectly with the hand-drawn films Disney was making at that time. Today, the target audience has grown up on Pixar. Part of it was marketing that made it less successful. I didn't like PotF quite as much as the Disney Renaissance films (Beauty and the Beast, Aladdin, Lion King) but part of it was plot related, not quality of animation. There was a lack of memorable songs, though. I think PotF does deserve respect, and would like to see more animation like it in the future, princess or not.
