Tangled Wreck-It Ralph Frozen Big Hero 6 Zootopia Moana Is this a 3rd golden age for Disney animation? Personally, I'd throw Frankenweenie & Bolt in there too, but that's not as defensible. Yeah, someone will come in complaining about some of these films, but this is quite a run.
There were some clunkers in there too. Frankenweenie is a Tim Burton productions. Just distributed by Disney. Bolt is kind of boardline for me. I'd probably say the 3rd golden age started with The Princess and the Frog.

I saw the movie yesterday and really enjoyed it. The shiny song reminded me of Tim Curry in Rocky Horror. The Rock did a great job a Maui. The movie was definitely better than Frozen. Disneyland needs to have some kind of story time in the old Tahitian Terrace about this movie.

Are they doing anything with that space currently?
I watched Moana the other day and enjoyed it, but I didn't instantly fall in love with it like so many have. The first act was solid but not spectacular, the second act was just plain bad, but the third act was pretty great. The Mad Max coconuts seemed odd to me (and their vessel reminded me of something from Miyazaki), and the crab sequence was kind of terrible; I understand why they needed some smaller battles for the plot, but I didn't find them particularly compelling The songs weren't as instantly-hummable as the Frozen songs, but they were used much better throughout the film. While there were plenty of weird parts, there were no gaping plot holes (*cough*Frozen*cough*). It was a lot of fun, but I'm not sure it lived up to some of the reactions I've heard; I'd give it a B+
I still stand by my opinion that it's better than Zootopia, but it looks like not too many people agree with me. The thing is, it's been a weak year ... definitely quantity over quality.
