Not even close.

Mars Needs Moms

>>149375397 (OP)
And yet, this was my sister's favorite Disney movie while we were young. I mostly remember liking Cheech and the poodle bitch.

>>149375397 (OP)
it was honestly a mediocre movie but i don't hate it for that

>>149375583
Mars Needs Mom was retarded and cringe but it had sincere ambition. Oliver and Company is cynical.

>>149375397 (OP)
Watched it last month, it was kinda mid, villain was the coolest part

>>149375397 (OP)
>Oliver and Company
>Shit

I will kill you, OP. I don’t know when nor how but I will find you. What you said is proof that your days are numbered.

I remember liking it as a kid when I saw it in theaters. I didn't know who Billy Joel was, but I liked the music and NYC setting.

>>149375397 (OP)
Why should I care?

>>149375397 (OP)
It's not great but Oliver and Co. is no where near as bad as Black Cauldron. Besides, the general structure of the movie is basically a prototype for the renaissance era animated broadway musicals that skyrocketed disney back to major cultural relevance.

>the actual actors / musicians do the actual singing
>the characters are back to singing on screen
>the songs are accompanied with a fun thematic sequence

this is the credit due to this film but it's not the only reason why they went more in that direction.

Really wish I could have been around for the Renaissance, but I was born 94, so by the time I started forming memories that I could remember, it was like 98/99, so Mulan and Tarzan were my films.

>>149375599
And it got re-released in theaters like 3 times. It obviously did something RIGHT. I've never heard of that happening.

>>149376498
That's just doo-wop-ulation.

>>149376654
>it was like 98/99, so Mulan and Tarzan were my films
Ditto.
However, my parents made sure to buy enough of Disney's VHS lineup of past films to keep me occupied as a developing kid; Black Cauldron and Oliver being among them. Oliver and Co is one of a few VHS re-releases that I gravitated to; the writing and musical scores won me over as a kid. Today, I find it barely tolerable but Billy Joel's performance in the hot dog chase still gets me moving to this day.

Wish I could've been in early 90s New York

Same, had (and still have, but they're in storage) almost every single Disney Animated canon movie on VHS up till Fantasia 2000. The only ones missing from that line up is Make Mine Music, Sword in the Stone and Rescuers Down Under. And yeah, wild to have the opening song be its best. For me, seeing Circle of Life on my big (at the time) TV changed something in me.

That titled belongs to The Black Cauldron.

>>149376654
Well yeah that honestly is too bad. Seeing Aladdin in the theater is one of my favorite movie-going memories, though it was outdone big-time by Jurassic Park just a year later...

then oddly my second favorite Disney related memory is Mulan. by summer of 98 I was like gonna be entering middle school in fall so like I was trying super hard to be "i'm too cool for this" or whatever.
As soon as Make a Man out of You started...it was over, they got me good.

>>149376938
For me, one of my favorite theater memories was Atlantis, at this point, I associated Disney with musicals, so to see this film with no catchy songs, but a solid story, starting with death and destruction was great.
It was also the last Disney movie I saw with my pops before my parents amicably divorced.

Jesus H. And I thought Clayton getting straight-up necked was brutal for a villain death in 2D Disney.

Disney definitely had lower points than Oliver & Company, even in that very decade.
