The Lion King (1994)
Dec 31, 2001Disney Animation/Talking Animals
One of the best films to come out of Disney's animation renaissance during the 1990s, this uses all the studio as its disposal to create a work that is epic in its scope
Jim Cummings
The Pagemaster (1994)
Aug 31, 2004Adventures in the Land of Fiction
Amiable if lightweight film where a live-action Macaulay Culkin gets animated and has a series of adventures in a Land of Fiction where he must pass through various classic stories
The Return of Jafar (1994)
Dec 20, 2004Disney Animation/Aladdin Sequel
A weak video-released spinoff of Disney's Aladdin that began Disney's habit throughout the 90s/00s of generating cheap sequels to their animated classics
Balto (1995)
Jan 17, 2010Animation/Talking Husky Dogs
One of the better animated films produced by Amblin, this is based on the true story of a husky rescue in Alaska, albeit turned into a film where the dogs now talk
Aladdin and the King of Thieves (1996)
Dec 20, 2003Disney Animation/Arabian Nights Adventure
The second of two video-released sequels to Disney's Aladdin that brings back Robin Williams as the genie and goes madcap with the pop culture jokes
Pocahontas II: Journey to a New World (1998)
Dec 31, 1998Disney Animation/Pocahontas Goes to England
One of the better among the cheap video-released sequels to their animated films Disney released during the 1990s/2000s, this actually works better than the original
The Road to El Dorado (2000)
Apr 4, 2000Animation/Lost City
Good-natured DreamWorks animated film set during the Conquistadors arrival in South America. Aztec culture undergoes some modern rewriting but this remains modestly enjoyable (*)
The Jungle Book 2 (2003)
Apr 27, 2003Disney Animation/Jungle Boy
From the late 90s/early 00s period where Disney were churning out cheap sequels to their animated classics of yesteryear, a wholly unnecessary continuation of The Jungle Book
Hellboy Animated: Blood and Iron (2007)
Aug 13, 2009Demon Superhero/Animation
The second of two animated Hellboy spinoffs, this renders what might have been impressive superheroics had they been conducted in live-action down at the level of children’s animation
The Little Mermaid: Ariel’s Beginning (2008)
Dec 20, 2009Disney Animation
One among the series of cheap video-released sequels to their classic animated films made during the 1990s/2000s, this is a prequel that offers up a Little Mermaid origin story
Dead Space: Downfall (2008)
Apr 9, 2014Animation/Videogame Adaptation/Spaceship of Mutated Dead
Animated spinoff of the videogame. Your first impression is that animation is not suited for a gore-drenched film. One's misgivings are silenced by the wildly phantasmagoric range of creatures the film throws at you
The Princess and the Frog (2009)
Dec 20, 2009Disney Animation/Animal Transformation
One of the more enjoyable Disney animated films from the latter half of the 00s. Featuring Disney's first Black heroine, this embraces its New Orleans setting and turns Hans Christian Andersen's fairytale on its head with enjoyable results
Winnie the Pooh (2011)
Jul 14, 2011Disney Animation/Talking Animals
On the slight side as a Disney theatrical film, nevertheless this keeps to the essence of the original tales and comes with some appealingly playful fourth-wall breaking visuals
Gnomeo & Juliet (2011)
Jan 29, 2011Animation/Shakespeare with Talking Garden Gnomes
Surely the most outlandish film premise ever slung together for an animated film – a version of Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet conducted between talking garden gnomes in rival backyards
The Pirate Fairy (2014)
Aug 25, 2015Disney Animation/Tinker Bell Adventure
Another of Disney's Tinker Bell spinoff adventures. This has some slickly produced animation and does some occasionally cute pieces of fanservice that tie in to Peter Pan but is ultimately fantasy being produced for the single digit age groups
Christopher Robin (2018)
Jan 20, 2019Live-Action Winnie the Pooh Film
A live-action adaptation of the Winnie the Pooh characters. This is a mix of Hook with Christopher grown up and having forgotten about the animals and the Paddington films with the animals conducting slapstick chaos in London
