TOP 10 ___: Top Ten Animated Disney Movies of YesterYear (1990s and 2000s)

With all the live action Disney remakes that have been in the pipeline for the last few years, you wonder if Disney has any original idea left. Sad to say, when I heard this week that Disney was planning for The Lion King remake, this time with live action (sort of how I reckon the Jungle Book was created, using a lot of CGI) instead of it being animated, I scratched my head. Why? The cartoon version was good, in fact, revolutionary for its time period. Is it because they always want to update the stories so that the kids of today can relate? Regardless of their motivations, live action reboots of original cartoon classics like Alice in Wonderland, Cinderella, Pete’s Dragon and The Jungle Book have already been completed and others like Beauty and the Beast, Mulan, Mary Poppins Returns, Christopher Robin and The Lion King in the pipeline for a live action movie sometime in the future.

Now while I don’t know why this whole remake business is taking place, a lot of these reboots have made me nostalgic about my childhood and the cartoon movies I saw as a kid. So without further ado, here is my top 10 animated movies of ‘yesteryear’- the 1990s and the 2000s. While I may not be the target audience of these movies now, when I did watch them they were great. Shall I say that The Lion King (and maybe even Aladdin) are some of the most enjoyable cartoon movies of the 1990s ever? What are some of your favourite cartoon Disney movies of that era? Are you excited to watch ‘Beauty and the Beast’, or even ‘The Lion King’ for that matter? (Let me remind you that James Earl Jones, who previously voiced Mufasa in the original cartoon version, will return to voice Mufasa in this live action version of the movie as well!). Let us know in the comments. Til next time!
