I also don't like the Don Bluth era.
But with the content, that's kinda what I was saying also. That there isn't any imaginative content. One thing I really like about old Disney cartoons is that the plot is REALLY basic, or has no real point at all (this mainly pertains to the shorts). But nowadays they try and cram some bullshit message into it, like the "circle of life" or the duplicated message of "beauty and the beast" and, ironically, "the hunchback of notre dame." Like in Snow White, here's the plot: Obviously Bad Character screws over Obviously Good Character, Good Guys win! I like that. None of the over-the-top sentimentality crap. I admit, Bambi was good, but it was well-animated and also was the first time the parent-dying plot device was used in a Disney film as the real emotional "hook."
