Heck No Pooh's Adventures

youtubeclassics:

Continuing on with Jon Oosterhof’s Journey Though Disney series with his first installment. As of now he has not continued on since Feburary, but I want to see more out of this! In this series Jon won’t just talk about the canon Disney films, he’ll also talk about the Disney direct to video films and live action / animated films.

(O-o-c) Gather ‘round, kids! It’s defendant animation geek rage time. Snow White isn’t my favorite of the Disney animated films. But if you were to take this series away from Lionheart Fantasy and give it to me, I would have more honorable things to say and give it A LOT more credit than what Jonathan truly has for it.

Snow White was the light switch that started everything. Jonathan and the Lionheart gang’s favorite movies: The Lion King, Madagascar, El fucking Arca… none of them would exist if this became “Disney’s Folly” and not the juggernaut of its time. The film has stood the test of time for most people, from an artistic standpoint and even from a storytelling point of view for some people.

Here are the people who make crossovers and dedicate themselves to immortalizing almost every little thing about Disney animation, but here this video proves that they put the masterpieces on their pedestals without actually learning from them. (Anarcho-moomin gets full credit for this line I grabbed from her Miracle Studios post.)

Also, regarding the introduction. Of course nothing else screams the magic and legacy of Walt Disney Feature Animation to me like Saludos Amigos and Pecos Bill.
