Here's a Link to the article & the final paragraph

Which brings us to nutshell time: A very good film, Disney's best in a while (although Lilo & Stitch was really good too). The voice talent is especially superb (c'mon, David Hyde Pierce and Emma Thompson in a verbal duel?), and the integrity of the story - a classic for very good reason - is preserved in this new medium. Well done Disney, let's have another.

I hope that the reviewer is correct & this is a good film, but Disney's recent submissions have me worried (I still see Lilo & Stitch as an abberation).

I'm not Sara, but here's my hit list

• Atlantis (dark animation, horrible story development)
• Emperor's New Groove (liked it, but it was far from a feature film)
• Dinosaur (a eye candy success, but a story failure)
• all of the sequel drivel

HB2K has summed it up nicely. The last thing I saw from Disney (with the exception of Lilo) that surprised me favorably was Tarzan. I went in expecting to dislike it as I have all other Tarzan renditions, and really enjoyed both the character development and the (slightly heavy-handed) message about living in harmony with the Earth.

Pretty much everything since then has been a disappointment. And don't even start me on the DTV stuff, I've stood on that soapbox often enough everyone should be pretty clear how I feel about them.

I stand (or type, rather) corrected. I had forgotten that F2K had come out after Tarzan, and, yes, I do believe that they did an exemplary job with it.

My criteria for Disney animation has always been quality of story and technical achievement (preferably both in the same film), and then how well it does a the box office. After all, the original Fantasia didn't do so well the first release, but is now considered a classic. My disappointment with the recent offerings has been that the stories are weak, the characters are 2-dimensional in more than the obvious way, and that these films will end up in obscurity (perhaps with cause).

I'd like Disney to think more about the quality of what they are putting out on film and in this Latter-Eisner Era, the focus seems to be on "Let's make as much $$ as possible in the first release, and who cares about the future or the quality of the film." In my mind that is diametrically opposed to what *I* think Disney should be doing (and what it did while Walt was alive).

I hope that clarifies my thinking for you Scoop.
