Man, I'm looking at a list of "Walt Disney Animated Classics" and I don't see how their animation department was on the brink of extinction in the 80s. Black Cauldron was a bust, but all of the other movies either made money or made a shite pile of money. Granted, I'm only looking at box office on this list, but that doesn't include video sales and other merch.

Also, the amount of money Disney made from their animated films over the years is mind-boggling. One thing I like to do for fun sometimes is use the inflation calculator to see just how much money this movie made in 1940, or just how rich this guy was in 1845. In today's dollars, Disney films used to rake in BILLIONS. It's insane.

I'm about to go on a buying spree and pick up a lot of the Disney movies I either didn't watch (but think I'd like) or lost touch with over the years. This could get ugly (but thanks, Amazon gift card ).

Pixar saved Disney's arse imo. They now capture both markets. Animated and computer generated. They just won't be touched for quite a while.
