But tons of super, super shitty animated movies make hundreds of millions of dollars. So uh?

I think that there are a lot of reasons that tPatF didn't make as much as expected, some of them problematic but a lot of them just related to unfortunate timing or bad marketing. As for the actual quality of the movie, it's really good and certainly better than the majority of the stuff that's put out. But it does have some flaws in the storytelling that make it a bit bumpy along the way, and that stops it from being on the upper tier of Disney for me (also there was this feeling of trying-a-bit-too-hard that's kind of difficult to explain?).

Tangled actually ended up not having those same flaws for me, and was a smooth, linear, clean film, which to me made it a big improvement over tPatF and it was definitely as good as the better films of the renaissance. So I kind of saw it as Disney gradually getting back into their groove from film to film. Wreck it Ralph was fantastic as well.

Both of the films are a lot better than Lion King though. No idea why people hold that film on some pedestal.

(Also Atlantis is fucking amazing. Treasure Planet is a hot mess though.)

So I kind of saw it as Disney gradually getting back into their groove from film to film.

I agree with this. I would say that the songs of Princess and the Frog are better than the songs from Tangled but Tangled definitely had stronger writing in every other department.

In the end, I quite adore them both and definitely see it as the start of something great.

The Lion King does have a special place in my heart but it's certainly not the pinnacle of Disney, except when it comes to the box office. That's always going to be Beauty and the Beast, at least IMO.

I don't have any particular love for the story of The Lion King, but I consider it one of the most visually beautiful Disney movies (an especially impressive feat given the limited palette in most scenes) and the one with the best music.
