The Disney Renaissance is a time period of ten years (1989-1999) in which [[Disney]] would release many of it's most beloved animated films of all time. After the death of [[Walt Disney]] in 1966, there was a steady decline in the quality of Disney animated films. For the next couple of decades, films like ''The Aristocats'' (1970), ''Robin Hood'' (1973), ''The Fox and the Hound'' (1981), ''The Black Cauldron'' (1985), and ''Oliver & Company'' (1988) were met with mixed to negative reaction. In the 1980's films from Don Bluth were outperforming Disney films. ''An American Tail'' (1986) had outperformed ''The Great Mouse Detective''. ''The Land Before Time'' (1988) and ''Oliver & Company'' (1988) were released the same day, November 18, with ''The Land Before Time'' performing better. Eventually, Roy E. Disney convinced then-CEO Michael Eisner to let him oversee the theatrical animation division of the company.

==Post-Renaissance==
Following the release of ''Tarzan'' in 1999, Disney would have hit-and-miss performances. Movies like ''The Emperor's New Groove'' (2000), ''Lilo & Stitch'' (2002), ''The Princess and the Frog'' (2009) would be well-received while films like ''Atlantis: The Lost Empire'' (2001), ''Treasure Planet'' (2002), and ''Home on the Range'' (2004) would have a more negative reception. In recent years, however, films like ''[[Frozen]]'' (2013) seem to be signaling a sort of "Neo-Renaissance" for Disney.
