Since The Little Mermaid, every Disney animated feature in the Renaissance era was like a yearly event, each one having had at least one superstar celebrity.
The movies of this era really show the scars of tempestuous production. But the lack of polish, the rough edges also reveal to me the human factor. The blood sweat and tears it took to get them done. That also happens to be my perspective on every accomplishment from the real life medieval period. These films though, more than any from the Golden Age or Renaissance, deserve a second chance. To be remade with love. If Disney wants to rebuild movies, I'd be happy to see them tackle these.
It would be interesting. I get the impression that Disney prefers to give the live action treatment to the more financially successful/well known films, but I've at least heard whispers about a Black Cauldron remake so you never know
I was expecting an April fools video where you review a Dreamworks movie
A very underrated era of Disney!!!
My picks:
Favourite Character: Tigger
Favourite Villain: Ratigan
Favourite Song: Why Should I Worry?
Favourite Soundtrack: Oliver and Company
Favourite Background Story: The Black Cauldron
Least Favourite Movie: The Black Cauldron
Favourite Movie: Oliver and Company
The Great Mouse Detective is one of my all-time fave Disneys. Brilliant creativity using period (and adapted period) technology to advance the story - one of many strong points.
Great video, Joe! The Great Mouse Detective is my personal favorite of the transitional era since that one has aged the best to me quality-wise. Even though the transitional era was pretty rocky for the most part, there were still some good things that came out of it. Looking forward to you covering the Renaissance films! Here’s to more great videos from you in the coming future!
Thanks! And yeah, I think Great Mouse and Oliver probably hold up the best in terms of art style/storytelling, especially when compared to the Renaissance, which sorta redefined how we view Disney movies
This was a rather interesting era in Disney history. Joe, I can’t wait until you talk about Disney’s most iconic era.
I'm happy that Joe said Oliver And Company is his favorite one because it's mine too. We have something in common.
the transitional era is the most interesting one because with the background with the films and how Disney was competing against one animator I believe without Don bluths departure from the studio and making his own movies and the flaws and failures the Disney renicance wouldn't have existed because renicance means rebirth and the little mermaid was the rebirth for the studio thanks for the video Joe 👍👍.
Oh yeah, you can certainly argue, and I think make a very good case, that the competition brought on by Bluth forced Disney to have to elevate their films to the next level
as a recent disney plus subscriber I love these channels and the effort and attention to detail the creators put into it! Great job joe.... and FWIW I am also a big black cauldron fan here.... I think it is one of the most underrated disney movies ever... and I also have seen some comments here about a live action remake. I think the GOT craze has heightened appreciation for that genre and folks would enjoy giving that film a 2nd look. For me the horned king is the best villain of the era and one of the best disney villains ever.
Thank you again for another great video. Waiting patiently for the next one.
During This transitional era I aged from 13-28. Although I enjoyed these film if it weren’t for the continuous rereleases from the golden and silver eras, I probably would not have become the big Disney animation fan I still am today at age 61.
Hey Joe glad to see another video! Was wondering if you have played the Disney Villainous board game? My wife and I recently bought it and I think it is a lot of fun. Maybe a candidate for a short Disney Guy Review Games edition?
I think Robin Hood was really neglected here. And it kind of breaks my heart - it's by far my favourite movie of this era, Prince John is one of my favourite Disney characters of all time, and the music deserves much more credit.
My perspective is a bit different though since I'm from Denmark, and the Danish dubbing was done by some of the biggest and most talented actors. And also the dialogue (at least in danish) was made with a superb understanding of spoken language and real conversations, and the smallest details in the dialogue makes me laugh every time. But oh well, opinions differ, and I respect your opinion.
My picks
Favourite character Winnie the Pooh or Robin Hood
Favourite Villain Ratigan with Prince John being a close second
Favourite song Why Should I Worry
Favourite soundtrack Robin Hood
Favourite background story Robin Hood
Least favourite movie Black Cauldron
Favourite movie Winnie the Pooh or Robin Hood
Dylan Peddle same
The next era will get a little bit more musical 🧜🏻♀️
You might actually enjoy a small segment I have planned in the Legacy section for that era as well....
Joe The Disney Guy I’m excited to see what you have been cooking up
Love Your Videos Joe Have a Wonderful Day 😉
Thank you! You too!
Thanks and You’re Welcome Joe 😉
Keep it up Joe
Need your informative vids in my life
9:13-9:21 Home on the Range?
Rescuers is my personal favourite! Followed by Robin Hood! Also you are soooo cute! I LOVE YOU!
Normally I would give my own picks in each category, but weirdly enough I agree with all of your picks except maybe I would put Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh as my favorite film of the era. Anyways, glad to see another video from you and am looking forward to seeing you take on the Renaissance next time!
Hey Joe! Do you think at some point in the far away future you may do the small list of films that Disney Distributed from other studios(The Brave Little Toaster etc)?
I love these videos - they just bring me back to the development of disney studios
I think the fox and the hound needs more appreciation - in my opinion the best movie and soundtrack of the era as it is very emotional and also dark but still lovely at the same time - it takes more risks with outcome and the not so happy story and especially it considers the topic farewell - very sad but still you need to let go
I also love the great mouse detective and the rescuers
Oliver and company is fresh and has some fun songs and entertaining story but it didn't get me that much (at least at my first watch)
What about the Atrstocats as it came out after Jungle Book which came out around Walt's death
Yay I love when you post a video
And I love when you watch them!
Joe The Disney Guy thank you
Great list, Joe! Certainly got to agree with the choices on here, especially with "Oliver & Company". That's my favorite of this era too. In fact, that's #5 on my list of favorite films. So, I definitely got to agree that there's a lot of strengths in the film that really help make the film one of the best made. Of course, other films in this era showed some memorable things about them too, such as the examples you gave on here. But with that said, I think I can agree that perhaps this isn't exactly the strongest era in history, as I'm sure a lot of people probably agree on too. I'd probably have to say that the Golden Era was a stronger era. Still agree on "The Black Cauldron" being the worst of the era, and I already know the answer as to what you consider your least favorite film of all time after my comment on your review of the film. Thankfully, we won't have to worry about that for a long time. Awesome era recap, and I can't wait to see how much fun we're going to have fun in the next era! I can tell already tell there's got to be a lot of excitement and gushing in there.
Favorite character and favorite movie Robin hood
How would you rank these Disney dark age films Joe?
Yes he’s back

This is my favourite or least favourites. (Btw this is just my opinion btw, and also if a movie isn’t in my list it means I’ve never seen it)
1. The Fox In The Hound (1981) I freaking love this movie. While it is really dark, I love the backstory of it. Where do I begin? Wolf left, don, and much more. But the final verdict is great. While it isn’t Snow White, it’s still a great movie. The animation looks great (unlike most in this era, but that’s just me) I also love the relation ship between them. That, and it has a great message at the end that you usually don’t see in a kids movie.
2. Robin Hood (1973) This movie was just decent. I didn’t like the style of the animation. The music isn’t really that great, and the story is clumsy. But either way, I kind of enjoy anyway. Even though it’s bad. It’s not great, but it’s just decent.
3. The Rescuers (1977) For me, this movie and the music is bland. There’s nothing special about it. The colours are gone, and it’s feels like a dark movie, and just makes me go “this is DISNEY?”
4. The Aristocats (1970) my least favourite Disney movie ever. First of all, the animation (yes I know they were struggling back then) but still, it looks terrible. Recycled animation, the black lines are distracting, the colours are washed out, and it’s just a cutesy movie. But that’s just me.
I’m a Pooh fan. That guy is so cool. He knows what’s important in life: friends and food.
When I first saw "The Black Cauldron" (I was 19) I was marvelously underwhelmed; there was so much hype about the film, so I really felt disappointed. Since then I've re-watched the film about four or five times and, strangely, I've come to admire and enjoy it. I'm not saying it's a great Disney film, but it's certainly a good one and I think deserves better than what it received.
Haven’t seen any of the 1980s films of this era, with the exception of Black Cauldron.
Here is my best to worst film.
5.) Robin Hood
3.) The Black Cauldron
2.) The Many Adventures of Winnie-the-Pooh
1.) The Rescuers
I know you haven't completed the Disney Renesance yet but because I've seen all the Disney Renesance films and I haven't seen all the transional era films, let me give you my favorites from the Renesance era
Favorite Character: Ariel
Favorite Villain: Ursula
Favorite song: beauty and the Beast (Celine Deion Version)
Favorite soundtrack: The Little Mermaid
Favorite Background Story: The Little Mermaid
Least Favorite Film: Pocahontas
Favorite Film: Aladdin
Can you please review the Little Mermaid next?
You see, I want to learn how Alan Menkin and the first movie in the next Era,
the Disney Renaissance Era!
So Please can you review as your next review?
I also want to see the first Disney Princess film since Sleeping Beauty!
Joe can you please review the little mermaid? Thank you so much
Favorite villain from this period: Madam Medusa. I'm biased because she was voiced by Geraldine Page, one of my favorite actresses of all time. Ratigan would be a close second.
Is Pocahontas your least favorite Disney film or Chicken Little? Those are my top two guesses.
Nope and nope! You'll just have to wait and see!
I can guess Joe it’s Home On The Range
Let me guess you're less favorite Disney film of all time is Chicken Little? That seems to be the only Disney film that gets as much loathing as Black Cauldron. And honestly I would agree. Black Cauldron is a misguided and over all bad film but Chicken Little is an out right mean spirited movie.
But that for a future era. As for the Dark Ages, as I prefer to call it due to the thematic labeling, my list would as follow. (Also I tend to count the Aristocats as part of this era as well but that's neither here nor there)
Favorite Character: Robin Hood. Like you with your pick, some strong childhood bias going on here as this was one my favorite films growing up and the character of Robin Hood in this movie informed a lot of my personal tastes when it comes to heroes
Favorite Villain: Ratigan . Ratigan is easily the strongest villain in the whole era for all the reasons you previously stated.
Favorite Song: "Not in Nottingham" because Roger Miller was a huge part of my childhood and not just for his work on Robin Hood. He's an extremely underrated composer who's done fantastic work both on stage/film and in the country music scene.
Favorite Soundtrack: The Rescuers. I think the opening "Who Will Rescue Me" and the melancholy background music just edges it over Robin Hood's score for me; which incidentally reuses Sleeping Beauty's score in the climax.
Favorite Background Story: The Black Cauldron. It's such a fascinating train wreck and a good lesson in "how not to make a movie adaption."
Least Favorite Movie: Fox and the Hound. Oh don't get me wrong it's technically a better movie than The Black Cauldron, but I also find it more boring. Black Cauldron is a hot mess of a film but it's an interesting hot mess. One that got me into one my favorite book series so I can't truly dislike it. But Fox and the Hound is just dull and just gives me the feeling of being stuck in a stuffy grade school English literature class reading Where the Red Fern Grows and Bridge to Terabithia and other such drab "realist" books/70s movies for children.
Favorite Movie: Robin Hood. Once again a childhood favorite and it's still in my top five Disney films. It's just fun. Pure and simple.
Oo De Lally is a top tier song for this era
From what I have watched. I would say the Disney Dark Age (which I like to call the Bronze Age) isn't much worse and not much better than the Golden Age of Disney (1937 - 1967).
Personally, aside from Fantasia, Pinocchio, 101 Dalmatians, Mary Poppins, and Alice In Wonderland, I was a little disappointed with the Golden Age films. Most of them relied heavily on the novelty of timing music to animation which is a novelty I do like (Fantasia uses this to masterclass levels of effect) but a lot of the films feel like they have flawed pacing as a result. It's one thing to have brilliant animation and visuals but it can have little impact when the films themselves don't have much contextual substance. There's always moments when I'm watching these films and feeling like they're just not getting to the point and sometimes I would grow bored as a result.
Don't get me wrong, I do like the Golden Age of Disney and I have huge respect for their historical importance in the animation industry. I just find some of these films to be mostly okay.
The Disney Bronze Age is rather odd. On the one hand, I think the best films from this era have strong stories on par with the best of the Golden Age. Films like Robin Hood, The Rescuers, The Fox and the Hound, and The Great Mouse Detective are timeless in my eyes with tense and exciting stories. On the other hand, I found The Aristocats to be forgettable and The Black Cauldron I would certainly call the first genuinely bad Disney film. My least favourite films from the Golden Age (Snow White, and Peter Pan) I view as dated films, not bad films.
I would say this era of Disney is good in spite of a few of its failures.
Why was Aristocats in Silver and not here, just wondering
Aristocats was still approved by Walt/started very early production under him, so in my mind at least, they didn't totally start working on their own until after Aristocats
Joe The Disney Guy That makes sense, thanks for the reply!
@@JoeTheDisneyGuy That's true, but I'd personally classify it as Silver since the vast majority of its production time was after Walt's death.
Also, as I understand it, by the 1960s, Walt was becoming more involved with TV, live action films, and Disneyland, and less involved in the animated films. It could be argued that the transitions between the two eras is really blurred,.
My favorites are the rescuers and Oliver and company and one hundred and one Dalmatians lol
Fox and the hound is hated for no reason
About your least favorite movie of all time does it have to do with either Cows or a Little Chicken ?
YOUR GONNA GET 1M VIEWS IN ABOUT A MONTH.
If you had to sit through the dark ages of Disney, just wait until you get to the post renaissance with Fantasia 2000-Bolt. It is much much worse than this era alone
I'm going to guess that your least favorite Disney movie shares its title with a certain folk song.
Favorite movie OLIVER AND COMPANY
FAVORITE song
WHY SHOULD I WORRY
OLIVER AND COMPANY is AWESOME
I can't wait for your Disney Renaissance reviews and they go by...

Damn. The fox and the hound didn,t get anything. By far my favorite,it,s definetly the most emotional. Oh well.
Rodrigo same here, absolutely loved the fox and the hound. :)
Oh don't get me wrong, I love Fox and the Hound too, definitely the most emotional song/scene and I'd agree that it's probably the most emotional film in general
