The only ones that actually qualified as successes during the Katzenberg portion of the Renaissance Era are The Little Mermaid and The Lion King, since they actually have stood the test of time beyond box office receipts and awards won. After all, The Lion King is getting a new TV series known as The Lion Guard, and The Little Mermaid had a huge sale independent of that of the Disney Princess franchise back in 2008, and besides which, it has a huge biannual convention called "ArielCon" that's still on-going. The others, not so much. Probably the closest Aladdin and Beauty and the Beast have to actually getting something new and independent of the DP franchise is the upcoming Descendants.

And BTW, Katzenberg had minimal role in The Little Mermaid's success. Heck, had he been in full control of the film like he did with Beauty and the Beast, Aladdin, or Pocahontas, he would have removed Part of Your World and thus killed a key part of Ariel's character just because he felt it was "boring." I'm not kidding.
