The fact that the Rescuers Down Under came after The Little Mermaid and that was a significant financial disappointment with mixed reviews, yet Mermaid is still identified as the start. Not to mention: Brother Bear, Treasure Planet, The Emperor's New Groove, and Lilo & Stitch were all nominated as well, so that means nothing, really. As I've said, it's not just about box office and critics. It's about legacy. The era is still relatively young, but Disney has never hesitated in incorporating their films and characters into their line of "classics" (or various chains of the company) if they've made an impact. The characters and stories of the revival films are no exception to this.
