I just found an Anastasia post on a Disney blog.

I can’t believe some people call themselves Disney fans and don’t even know that difference.

Anastasia is amazing, but it’s not Disney so get it the hell away from your Disney blog!

if you like animation, disney or film in general - follow this blog. It is the most epic thing ever if you’re a proper disney nerd.

So, last night I finished watching A Goofy Movie (1995). Not the most classic of pieces. It is Disney, but a step back from the renaissance style that was still on-going at the time. I was tempted to state that the renaissance period had ended, but it does continue some-what until the late 90’s. I always consider Mulan (1998) to be the final film in that era of Disney.

I think due to the standard people expect this film is very much overlooked, and of course I support that because I’m not saying that A Goofy Movie is anything close to Beauty and the Beast (1991). In fact the production is so far from the studio that created the renaissance films it’s barely Disney at all. The original characters are the trademark of the company, but the film itself was made in France and Australia, I believe this shows through a lot.

I don’t want to review A Goofy Movie in this post, though. I’d rather comment on the late night thoughts I had whilst watching it, because I found it so very mind-blowing in terms of what I was supposed to think of the element of fantasy involved in such a film.

I know this sounds very scrooge-like and I get scorned at for bringing up the problems with fantasy-levels in film. My most spoken-of problem lies in the Pixar film Cars (2006), but I will move onto that later. My most controversial issue with film fantasy and magic in-particular is with Harry Potter (but I will not mention that, I don’t want to be sent death threats by that crazy fandom!)
