In memory of anime legend Isao Takahata.
In May, Warner Bros. Feature Animation released their second film after Space Jam,
Quest For Camelot. While ridiculed for being a Disney knockoff, I give it kudos for
having a Warner Animation princess before Starfire (from Teen Titans), Princess Kayley.

June saw the release of Disney’s first movie to be animated solely at the Florida Studio, Mulan.
While it got great reviews, it wasn’t as successful at the box-office as previous hits like Aladdin
or The Lion King. To me, Mulan is a forgotten gem with vibrant animation, a compelling story,
catchy songs, and a brilliant score from the late Jerry Goldsmith.

October saw the release of DreamWorks’ first collaboration with Pacific Data Images
(PDI for short) Antz. It’s a bit different from later DreamWorks movies because there’s
a good amount of innuendo and some foul language.

November had two animated movies that year. The first was The Rugrats Movie, in which
the popular cartoon babies made their big-screen debut. This movie introduced Tommy’s
new brother Dill Pickles, who would eventually become a regular character in the TV series.

The second was A Bug’s Life, Pixar’s follow-up to the hugely successful Toy Story. While not as
good as Toy Story, A Bug’s Life has breathtaking animation and likeable characters. It’s also a
favorite of my mom’s.

And last, but definitely not least, in December, DreamWorks released their first true animated feature
The Prince of Egypt. It told the story of Moses using both hand-drawn and computer animation in
ways never before imagined. The film got really good reviews, earned over 200 million dollars
worldwide, and won the Oscar for Best Original Song. That's all I have to say for this week's Animated Movies Throughout the Years! Tune in next
week when we talk about animated movies from 1999, in which Disney released their final film in the Disney Renaissance with Tarzan, Brad Bird made his feature film debut with The Iron Giant, and the toys came back to town with Toy Story 2.
