The 2000s were a strange time for Disney.
Summary The 2000s were an odd decade for Disney animated movies, but the studio still produced a few stone-cold classics. After the success of the 1990s Disney renaissance, the studio had to reckon with changing trends in the animation industry. Audiences were more interested in computer animation at the time, with studios like Pixar and DreamWorks toppling Disney's historial dominance.
Chicken Little has some quirky small-town charm, but it's far from Disney's finest effort of the 2000s. Brother Bear hits many of the familiar story beats of an uplifting Disney family classic, but it doesn't have the same inspiration that's needed to make the movie sing. Much of the movie feels recycled, from the generic message of self-acceptance to the wacky comedic side characters. Disney fans won't find anything surprising in Brother Bear. It's a little too sentimental without earning the right.
The sumptuous orchestral music from the original Fantasia is just as powerful as ever, and the animation is just as creative. Inspired by the work of Jules Verne and other adventure writers, Atlantis: The Lost Empire seeks to recapture the same spirit of exploration for the 21st century. Although the story takes place in 1914, the movie strikes the right balance between the period charms of a different era of exploration and the timeless ideals of adventure and discovery. The climactic battle scene bumps the entire movie up a couple of notches.
The Princess and the Frog is representative of Disney's strange decade in the 2000s. It's caught between the classic princess movies of the 1990s Disney renaissance and the computer animated classics of the 2010s like Frozen and Moana. The Princess and the Frog doesn't quite fit into either of these groups, but it's still a lively and entertaining story.
