Aladdin - The Most Popular Movie of 1992 Aladdin is the multi-award-winning movie from Walt Disney Pictures. Released to rave reviews in 1992, Aladdin was the thirty-first animated feature released by Disney Studios. It was released at the pinnacle of the Disney renaissance that had begun with the release of The Little Mermaid. It was the most successful movie of 1992, earning over $217 million domestically and $504 million worldwide. Disney Remembered 2008 ushered in the 85th year for the movie giant the world all refers to as Disney in general. Disney, specifically, began very simply in 1923. The first productions were called "Alice" comedies, beginning with "Alice's Day at Sea." Many folks today have no memory of Alice, but the name Mickey Mouse rings a bell with almost everyone in the country. Fantasia - Disney's Weird and Wonderful Masterpiece Fantasia is the third feature Walt Disney produced and is perhaps the most experimental. The feature has no dialogue, relying instead on a splendid soundtrack performed by the Philadelphia Orchestra conducted by Leopold Stokowski. Though the film is mostly animated, it does have some live-action sequences featuring Stokowski and the Orchestra. Fantasia was also remarkable for being the first major film to be screened in stereophonic sound. Sleeping Beauty - Arguably Disney's Masterpiece Sleeping Beauty was the sixteenth film in Walt Disney's canon, following Lady and The Tramp and preceding One Hundred and One Dalmatians. It was the last feature to be based upon a fairy tale, written by Charles Perrault. Indeed, Disney Studios would not return to a fairy tale again until the 1989 release of The Little Mermaid. Moreover, this was the last feature to use hand-inked cells. Pinocchio is the Best Hand-drawn, Pre-computer Disney animation. Pinocchio, the character, was imagined by Carlo Collodi in 1883. The adored boy carved from a block of wood by Geppetto the woodcarver was first introduced in the tale The Adventures of Pinocchio. Collodi was very keen on using a puckish, cynical character to explore his own personal convictions and cultural and political critiques. As late as 1938, this was how Walt Disney had characterized the dearly loved wooden puppet who longed to be a real boy.
