- The 1990s is famously known as Disney's "Renaissance" Era
-During this time, Disney saw great success in the box office, with many of its films becoming household favourites and classics for decades to come.
- Stretching from 1989 with the Production of "The Little Mermaid", to 1999 which was the year of Tarzan and Mulan, this era stayed true to the Disney style of using new ways to tell old stories and fairy tales.
- This decade of animation can be identified for its works that follow "The Broadway Formula". This means they are made with the idea that they could one day be turned into a stage musical.
- The entire era is packed with highly successful animated movies, most with their own exceptional collection of songs that defined this era of musical storytelling.
- The films were so successful, that the songs that came with them were often boosted into high spots on national charts.
- It's clear to see the musical joy this era of Disney Animation created in its time and in the years that followed.

-Deep Canvas was another defining breakthrough that changed the history animation from its conception for the movie "Tarzan" in 1999.
- Deep canvasing uses a computer program to colour and render the animation in a way that creates depth in the scene
- This was a pivotal moment for the world of animation, as it marked a starting point into what would become a series of 3D animation innovations.
-While the initial films creating using deep canvasing were still technically 2D, the "set" was created within the program in a 3D space, within which the "Camera" could move around.
- Deep canvas was created by Dan St. Pierre in the mid 90s while he looking for a way to achieve a higher level of realism in Disney's animations. In "Tarzan", the difference made by deep canvasing is especially notable, as we swing through the trees with him, weaving and soaring through and around complex 3D shapes.

-CAPS (which stands for Computer Animation Production System) was a revolutionary breakthrough in the production of animated films worldwide when it was pioneered in the late 1980s.
-CAPS used a digital ink and paint system to reduce the cost of the xerographic animation technique that came before it ,  and allow for complex multipane shots that gave the animation a newfound depth and sophistication.
-Animations that use CAPS included extensive camera movements and new art styles and techniques that weren't possible with earlier animation techniques.
-Disney first showcased this breakthrough in technology in the ending scene of "The Little Mermaid" (1989) but it was "The Rescuers Down Under" (1990) where it really got to shine, throughout an entire movie.
-Throughout the 1990s CAPS was used to revolutionise the way animated films were made, meaning that a whole collection of new and exciting films could be made at a lower cost and higher quality, thus improving upon the already profoundly creative and innovative "Golden age".
-CAPS was a staple part of the golden age of Disney movies, and was used right up until the early 2000s as a giant part of the animation process.
-As the more polished 3D and CGI films began to filter in to the spheres of animation, the rush to progress into new and improved animation techniques and compete with rival animation studios, meant that the use of CAPS animation was slowly phased out.
-Much of the CAPS machinery was taken apart and scrapped and as of 2005, there was only one CAPS desk remaining.

-Disney's first attempt at using CGI technology came in with the turn of the century in "Dinosaur" (2000)
-While a lot of the film was CGI (all the dinosaurs), there was still a lot of real life scenery that was used.
-CGI was another modern innovation that many animation studios and companies struggled to master before the fierce competition.
-As a result, a lot of CGI productions from the early 2000s were unrefined and a little awkward.
- CGI uses a computer program the generate and render 3D imagery, either moving or still.
-Disney fought to compete with movies such as Toy Story, which was released by Pixar in 1995 and was their first completely computer generated movie.
-10 years after Toy story, in 2005 "Chicken Little" was released, Disneys first fully computer generated animated movie.
-While "Chicken Little" did well in the box office, it received mixed reviews, and many didn't like its story telling, as well as its new awkward visual style.

-Disney really started to gain momentum once again as we started a new decade. Their hard work and persistence with the new and improved 3D animation techniques paid off and they started what would be a long line of highly successful, beautifully made 3D animated films.
-The decade started with Tangled, which was released in the December of 2010. Blending CGI techniques with traditional animation, while also revisiting their Golden Era Musical style Disney created a hit.
-Having found a technique that worked, Disney began using this style of blending multiple technologies to create some of their best work, propelling them into a bright future.
-Some notable films that followed this same form of production include: "Frozen" (2013), "Moana" (2016), "Brave" (2012) and "Zootopia" (2016).]]> 2022-03-10 16:13:15 UTC https://padlet.com/10266433_2/zhab5lt41jfo5a4o/wish/2088670931 2000s (Aesthetic Style) 10248101 https://padlet.com/10266433_2/zhab5lt41jfo5a4o/wish/2088674882 POST RENAISSANCE 
-If the 1990s was the Golden age of Disney Animation, the early 2000s were an infamous disappointment.
-Marked by films such as Bolt and Treasure Planet, Disney Animation productions in the 2000s were littered with bad reviews and tarnished by the awkward transition between styles and technologies.
-As the every growing, ever accelerating industry of animation and animation technology took hold of the 21st century, Disney sacrificed a lot of its signature charm in the name of new tech innovations that it had not quite mastered yet.
- Unlike the refined and recognisable eras of Disney's past, the early 2000s were disjointed, with movies sharing no common themes, charm or style.
-As a result, many movies that should be fixed in the history of Disney Animation with the emergence of new technology, were forgotten, disfavoured, or branded as failures.
- From an outside perspective, it would have seemed that the unshakable giant of family animation was finally falling apart from the inside.
-Releases were awkward looking and unfamiliar to the audience, and viewers did not like the change of style, after such a great streak of good quality movies.
-Although not all the movies of this time were considered bad. "Lilo and stitch" was an exception to the trend and many would consider "The Emperor's New Groove" to be one of Disney's best.
Although much of Disney's failure in this decade could be chalked down to the success of other major family film franchises such as Harry Potter, it's no debate that the 2000s were a turbulent time for Disney.
-While many classic Disney movies from decades past have stuck and remained popular for what feels like forever, many of Disney's early 2000s movies have been forgotten.
-While Disney didn't see much success in the box office during this time, we mustn't forget that the emergence of new animation techniques and technologies, meant a demand for new types of animation. Disney did not want to fall behind other animation studios, especially in a field of growing competition.

- The 2010s saw a host of immediate hits such as "Tangled" (2010), "Brave" (2012) and "Moana" (2016).
- Disney made a major recovery from their less successful 2000s era, and cemented their place in the new world of 3D animation.
-Movies centralised around strong female characters became more popular with the both young and older audience members, and many of the Disney "Princesses" that emerged from these movies, didn't have a love interest at all, let alone a storyline that revolves around them.
-A lot of the movies around this time moved away from the "classical stories" format that Disney often used, and adapted to new world technology. An example of this can be seen in the movie "Wreck-It-Ralph" (2012), centralised around video game characters, travelling between machines in electrical wiring.
-It seems that Disneys previous struggle to keep up with the times paid off, and the 2010s they showed great progress in terms of both their technical and thematic breakthroughs.

- He worked on the comic strip for 45 years. 
- In 2003 he was honoured into the Disney Legends and inducted into the Comic Book Hall of Fame (2006) ]]> 2022-03-16 06:31:08 UTC https://padlet.com/10266433_2/zhab5lt41jfo5a4o/wish/2097427065 1932 (Practitioners) 10266433_2 https://padlet.com/10266433_2/zhab5lt41jfo5a4o/wish/2097444398 In 1932 An art school was formed by Walt Disney.
- Sole purpose of this school was to train and create more animators for all the Disney ideas. 
This School would go on to produce the Silly Symphonies as well as Snow White and the Seven Dwarves. 
-Silly Symphonies Flowers and Trees, was the first feature film commercially released using technicolour.]]> 2022-03-16 06:44:27 UTC https://padlet.com/10266433_2/zhab5lt41jfo5a4o/wish/2097444398 1932 (Technology) 10266433_2 https://padlet.com/10266433_2/zhab5lt41jfo5a4o/wish/2097446856 Technicolor

Kalmus convinced Walt Disney to shoot one of his Silly Symphony cartoons, Flowers and Trees (1932), in Process 4, the new "three-strip" process.
Seeing the potential in full-colour Technicolor, Disney negotiated an exclusive contract for the use of the process in animated films that extended to September 1935.
- Other animation producers, such as the Fleischer Studios and the Ub Iwerks studio, were shut out – they had to settle for either the two-colour Technicolor systems or use a competing process such as Cinecolor.


Flowers and Trees was a success with audiences and critics alike, and won the first Academy Award for Best Animated Short Film.
- All subsequent Silly Symphony's  from 1933 on were shot with the three-strip process. Hollywood was buzzing about colour film again

- It was the first commercially released film to be produced in the full-colour three-strip technicolour process after several years of two-colour technicolour films.
- The film was a huge success, winning the first Academy Award for Best Animated Short Film. 
- In 2021 the film was selected for preservation in the united States National Film Registry by the Library of Congress for being 'culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant' 
- With Disney's exclusive deal with the technicolour process other competitors were unable to recreate the same colours and produce as visually striking films. 
- Mickey Mouse shorts were deemed successful enough not to need the extra boost of colour, remaining in black and white. ]]> 2022-03-16 07:21:23 UTC https://padlet.com/10266433_2/zhab5lt41jfo5a4o/wish/2097488904 1933 (Aesthetic Style) 10266433_2 https://padlet.com/10266433_2/zhab5lt41jfo5a4o/wish/2097502417 Three Little Pigs 
- As the Silly Symphonies continued, it was actually symphony no. 36 that propelled Disney Further onto the world stage. 
- it wan the Animated short Category at the Academy Awards and showed a lean, tight and polished production that showed real characters in both the pigs and the bad wolf. 
- the short also features the Iconic Voice of Pinto Colvig, who became famous for voicing Goofy in later years. 
- The animated short was played before feature length films and often left the audiences in amazement. A sub culture of animated shorts before feature films was born and a new industry created. 
- A timeless song, 'Who's afraid of the big bad wolf' 
still known to this day nearly a century later.

- One of the reasons this film made such an impact in the film industry was because of it’s unique sound system. Fantasound was made specifically for the film and was basically the first version of surround sound. The system used nine optical recorders using eight music tracks, plus a click track for animation timing.
- In classical tradition, a fantasia is a free-form piece of music that resembles improvisation. The imaginative nature of the project reminded Stokowski of Fantasia. He suggested it as a working title of the film and it just stuck.
- Fantasia wasn't completed until four hours before its premiere in New York City 
- Normally films are assigned colour palettes so that everything is cohesive, but for Fantasia Walt gave the animators free reign. They were able to choose any colour they like…and obviously they did a fantastic job]]> 2022-03-17 13:29:53 UTC https://padlet.com/10266433_2/zhab5lt41jfo5a4o/wish/2100055627 1953 Peter Pan (Aesthetic Style) 10266433_2 https://padlet.com/10266433_2/zhab5lt41jfo5a4o/wish/2100218140 -Peter Pan has become a cultural icon symbolizing youthful innocence and escapism
-The Film's plot involves a group of kids who meet Peter Pan and travel to the island of Never Land to stay young, where Peter also attempts to evade Captain Hook.
- During production, while animating Peter Pan, Kahl claimed that the hardest thing to animate was a character floating in mid-air
- The Film was entered into the 1953 Cannes Film Festival ]]> 2022-03-17 14:46:16 UTC https://padlet.com/10266433_2/zhab5lt41jfo5a4o/wish/2100218140 Walt Disney (Practitioner) 10266433_2 https://padlet.com/10266433_2/zhab5lt41jfo5a4o/wish/2101373148 -  Was an American entrepreneur, animator, writer, voice actor, and film producer.
