The “Post Renaissance Era” is marked by no common theme as seen in previous Disney filmmaking eras. What really defines this period of time is Disney Studios trying to find a new method of storytelling, much like that of Pixar’s. With the exception of Lilo and Stitch, films during this time didn’t see much box office success and were not wildly popular. However, part of this moderate success was a result of big movie franchises such as Harry Potter and Lord of the Rings drawing in audiences and detracting from other films being released.
Dinosaur was Disney’s first attempt at CGI animation. Though it is often overlooked, Dinosaur got Disney interested in CGI animation that has been used in recent years to create immensely popular films for the company. This era was basically a transition period for Disney, while it moved from traditional animation to CGI and from old storytelling to new storytelling.
