Talk:Disney Revival/@comment-27926499-20170125212731

From how I see it, the term Revival fits this Era best than "Neo-Renaissance".

Renaissance hints at a renewal of ideas, whether they are technical, storytelling, animation, designs etc.

Revival is more about revamping an old concept. And that's why this Era isn't as great as the Renaissance.

It feels like it stopped launching new things in 2012, (yes, I consider the Revival Era to be only between 2009 and 2012) then it only became the "Merchandise/Progressist Era".

Very successful movies, but very vapid and unoriginal, or not that well developed.

Frozen ? A cheap musical that gives more importance to songs than storytelling.

Big Hero 6 ? Every single generic superhero cliches condensated into one movie.

Zootopia ? A kid-friendly version of a Seth Rogen comedy, trying too hard to be "adult" but not hard enough at teaching a REAL lesson.

Moana seems like they're slowly getting back to track.

But then one has to consider that two upcoming movies are going to be sequels (Wreck It Ralph 2 and Frozen 2). And when a company starts releasing more sequels than original movies, THAT is a sign that they are out of ideas.

And this is why the Revival Era is just a bogus Renaissance.
