Since Walt Disney's death in 1966, there's been a bit of a blur as to whether the studio's animation output between 1970 and 1981 are part of the classic era or the modern era. It could be argued that ''The Aristocats'', ''Bedknobs and Broomsticks'', ''Robin Hood'', ''Winnie the Pooh and Tigger Too'', ''The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh'', ''The Rescuers'', ''Pete's Dragon'', ''The Small One'', and ''The Fox and the Hound'' are owned by the classic era, because the animating craft was specifically being carried by the remaining Nine Old Men, while they passed it on to the new school animators. Either ''Mickey's Christmas Carol'' or ''The Black Cauldron'' where probably the first of the modern animation output, though they were in development long before the remaining Old Men departed the studio. And even long after the management shake-up of the 1980's by Michael Eisner, some of the old-timers stayed on the job until the very end. Eric Larson left a short time before ''The Great Mouse Detective'' was released. Joe Grant returned to Disney in 1989 and died in 2005. John Hench completed the short ''Destino'' a while before his death in 2004. But the other arguement, for ultra-Disney purists is that the legitimate Disney film is a product that was made under Walt's watch, which would include anything up to ''The Jungle Book''. What are your views? The reason I'm asking is because The Disney Channel, Tokyo Disneyland, and ''Mickey's Christmas Carol'' came out in 1983, a year before Michael Eisner became in charge of Walt Disney Productions (later renamed The Walt Disney Company in 1986). <span style="font-size: smaller;" class="autosigned">— Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/71.95.40.115|71.95.40.115]] ([[User talk:71.95.40.115|talk]]) 01:02, 9 February 2012 (UTC)</span><!-- Template:Unsigned IP --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot--> |
