Whether you are a fanatical Disney fan or just enjoy the artistry of the latest Pixar movies, animation has become one of the leaders in the entertainment industry, which is undeniable.
From the earliest movies, children all over the world grew up in dreamy scenes, and the heroes on the screen were lifelike. Traditional fairy tales and fables are taken from their motherland, giving them new life and making them well-known.
Disney dominates the world of animated films for most of the 21st century. The most popular movies in childhood were Mickey Mouse, Winnie the Pooh and one or two Disney princesses.
However, although many films of Walt Disney Film Company have low box office, excellent films deserve recognition.
Fortune Planet
Gold and Silver Star is Disney’s adaptation of the classic novel Treasure Island by Robert Louis Stevenson. In the future celestial environment, teenagers will become friends with anti weapon men along the treasure map across the universe and fight with space pirates, black holes and supernovae.
Disney, which was launched in 2002, used innovative animation technology and paid more attention to 2D animation than 3D computer graphics. However, this film has developed for more than 10 years. Until its release, Pixar and DreamWorks began to dominate the animation industry with CGI films such as Toy Story and Shrek.
The 2D animation is actually dead. In addition, Disney failed to promote the film, which became one of Disney’s biggest financial failures, with a loss of about 79 million dollars.
However, amazing works of art regard this film as one of the most undervalued Disney films, and most of the time it is an inappropriate victim.
Atlantis: The Lost Empire
One year before the release of Fortune and Atlantis: The Lost Empire, Disney tried to get rid of Broadway style musicals in the 1990s.
This is the story of Milosacci(Michael Fox) wandering in search of the lost Atlantis. He hoped to find forgotten social relics and evidence, but found a civilization that gradually disappeared.
In addition to musical figures and talking animal partners, the film also gives a more mature feeling. Another incredible background is a solid story full of intrigue and twists and turns. Disney’s confidence in this film is too high, so it plans to produce adventure derivative drama.
This film, which was released the same year as Shrek, also belongs to the category of “low timing”. After CGI movies, the entire chain store was put on hold due to the adventure of new style animated feature films.
Emperor’s new slot
As early as 2000, The Emperor’s New Groove was released after one of the most disturbing works in Disney history. The film was originally titled “Kingdom of the Sun” and started with Disney musical performed by Sting.
Everyone said that it has too many story elements, so the film is too complex. Don Hahn is a member of the production team of Beauty and the Beast and the original producer of the film. But when Atlantis: the Lost Empire was first determined, he left to focus on the film.
After three years of development, the easy farce in the story is very popular among the examiners. This film has become the one you watch today.
Cuzco was a grumpy emperor, who was turned into a Lama by Izma, a consultant who longed for power. Moreover, he was helped by farmers in Rama in his stories about self discovery.
although the story looks basic and predictable, the film is full of endless dialogue and lovely characters. Although the total income in the world is 169 million US dollars(2p compared with the lion king’s 800 million US dollars), it attracts fanatical fans with its uniqueness and sense of humor.
Disney has always been the driving force of animated films. Many famous Disney films have been shown, which have been exposed undeniably. However, many surprising and undervalued animated films do not come from giants in this industry.
Joyva
This film of Fox Animation Studio is often mistaken as a classic work of Disney, which tells the story of Anastasha, the Grand Duchess of Russia.
Different from the aftermath of the Russian revolution, this film has gained some freedom in historical accuracy; but in the context of the film, this does not seem to matter. In fact, young fans of this film actively seek the true story behind the legend.
The form of Anastasha is similar to that of Disney. It is a perfect combination of drama, drama, romance and some actions. This film has a rich artistic style, which brings you to the past and gives life to the characters.
Over the past 10 years, Disney princesses have been full of fixed ideas of “girls in distress”. “Embrace” is a new acting skill for a heroine. The clever script and excellent sound track ensure the revival of this film, and the new Broadway musical even bases on this film.
Prince of Egypt
The film of DreamWorks in 1998 was the first 2D music animation produced by the studio. The film was well received, won the Oscar for Best Original Song, and was nominated for Best Musical.
This film tells the Bible story of Moses from the Egyptian prince to the Hebrew slave leader. Different from other biblical movies, DreamWorks decided to put the story above the religious sense, while respecting the origin of the story.
This underrated film may be one of the best opening lines in animation history” It is on a par with the Lion King and other films. The quality of animation gives life to the scope and scale of ancient Egypt, leading you to the world.
In addition to the all-star lineup(including Helen Mirren, Ralph Paynes, Barkimer, Sandra Bullock, and Patrick Stewart), this film has become one of the lowest evaluated animated films in history.
