It’s time for another Disney+ Battle. This time we are comparing two films on opposite ends of Disney’s Silver Age of Animation.

In the 1960s, Disney changed its animation style. They moved away from the elegant style of the 1950s and moved to a cheaper, Xerox style in the 1960s. This was done as a necessity due to “Sleeping Beauty” losing money at the box office. Two films were released in this style before the passing of […]
In the 1950s, the Walt Disney Animation Studios returned to feature length narratives for its animated movies after producing packages films during much of the 1940s.

It’s time, once again, for another Disney+ Battle. In this battle it’s the film that started feature animation as we know it today against the film that changed Disney’s animation plan during World War II: “Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs” versus “Saludos Amigos.” “Snow White” is the most important animated film of all time, […]
We are back with another Disney+ Battle. In this series, we take two classic Disney films and pit them against each other to see which is the better movie.
