When Walt Disney died, Disney pretty much went into a dive, their films were bombing, they were copying their own films, Disney didn't know what to do. And thing is, this wasn't a short decline, but this lasted for almost 2 decades of their movies not doing so well. But then of course we all know about the famous Disney Renaissance. The Little Mermaid, Beauty & The Beast, Aladdin & The Lion King. Disney was making hit after hit and to this day they are seen as some of the greatest films of all time. Then for about a decade their films were hit (Mulan, Lilo & Stitch, Tarzan) or miss (Pochahontas, Home on the Range). But recently people are saying Disney are going through a new renaissance. Tangled, Wreck-It Ralph, Frozen, Big Hero 6 (Sorry Princess & The Frog). Disney are back. But one thing that I have always wondered is, what would Walt think of this? If Walt saw these films would he be happy? Be devistated? Be shocked? Well, no one knows for certain, but in my humble opinion. I think he would be proud, he would be proud of seeing Disney remain true to it's roots and providing families around the world with joy and wonder, seeing the magic of Disney strong, constantly changing the industry, shaping childhoods and creating true art. Sure he wouldn't be proud of everything, but the big hits, the one we all remember, those are the ones that he would look at and know that his hard work has paid off, and his legacy is in good hands.

And if you don't believe me, just watch this video, tell me if you still don't believe that modern Disney has just as much magic as classic Disney.
