In today's episode, we complete our two part series about the "age" in the Walt Disney Company that truly changed everything for them. From Walt Disney's death in 1966 to 1989, the company was in a dark age in terms of success in animation. As your high school global teacher once told you, “Renaissance” means rebirth and that’s just what this time period (from 1989 to 1999) was for the Walt Disney Company! In this second half of the series, we discuss Pocahontas, the Hunchback of Notre Dame, Hercules, Mulan and Tarzan.
