The Little Mermaid & The Rescuers Down Under (Disney Renaissance Series)

The Little Mermaid & The Rescuers Down Under (Disney Renaissance Series)

Welcome back to another nostalgic trip down 90’s memory lane. For Episode 87 I’m kicking off my Disney Renaissance 5 Part Episode Series! The 1990s marked a significant chapter in Disney history because the animated films produced from Walt Disney Studios during this time were all massive hits.

Episode Highlights

  • The Disney Renaissance era brought a revival to Disney animation with its musically driven plots and new animation technology.
  • The Little Mermaid, released in 1989, was the first Disney movie to utilize the computer animation production system.
  • The Rescuers Down Under, released in 1990, was the first Disney film to be fully digital.
  • Both movies were part of the Disney Renaissance era and contributed to the success and revitalization of Disney Studios.
  • Highlights and lowlights of my recent watch of The Little Mermaid and The Rescuers Down Under
