Indeed an unknown (for now, anyways)!

Great lookback Mat! I've got two things to ask. One: Since you're re-doing your Honorable Mentions for next time, are you also gonna add "Song of the South" as an Honorable Mention? Since, besides the animated sequences, its controversary is more famous than the movie itelf.

And two: Instead of the Top 10 Animated Features from Disney that you do at the end of this lookback, can you do the Top "20" Animated Features from Disney so that way it can be a nice upgrade?

Thoughts on the last three films: Moana: That was probably the last animated Disney film to really enjoy before hoping with Raya and the Last Dragon to be good unlike the recent sequels. I enjoy the animation, the songs by Lin Manuel Miranda which makes became a fan of him, the visuals, humor, and voice acting like Dwayne Johnson for example. Yeah I do find some familiarities like a rebellious princess trope and wanting to explore someplace else like how Little Mermaid did, but it still looked great. One of the few enjoyable animated Disney films from the 2010 decade. Ralph Breaks The Internet: I used to like it when I saw it in theaters, but the more I think about it, the more I realized that this movie has created more problems than I realized. I like the animation, voice acting, some characters and so on, but the story I find some troublesome to me. I won’t go everything in details, but the biggest problem I have is how they made Vanellope just go full on turbo in the end. It was established in the first film that you can’t go turbo or else you risk the game being unplugged and in here, she went turbo at the end without creating some kind of consequences. There are other things I like to talk about, but I’ll leave right there to say it is not as good as the original. Frozen 2: When it comes to this sequel, I know this one is more polarizing than Ralph Breaks The Internet, but obviously not as somewhat good as the first despite taking some dark approaches. I know I’m not a fan when it comes to Frozen, but there are some things I like the animation, two songs like Into the Unknown, some dark approaches, and a few, but the rest I don’t like. Convoluted story, very weak writing, Kristoff subplot and his song which I find it to be the worst song out of all Frozen 2 soundtrack, splitting up at the end that is too similar similar to Toy Story 4 except that one was done better, and that pretty much it. It could’ve like the sequel, but I ended up finding it be average in my opinion. That pretty much my opinion on the last three recent animated films from Disney, but I still wish the best of luck for the company with Lasseter involvement so I hope it goes well for them.

I thought Ralph Breaks The Internet was basically "The Emoji Movie done right" and it had some jaw-dropping visuals with the internet world, so cool. Moana was eh for me, especially after Zootopia.

Well, this is it, we have reached the end of our journey with Walt Disney Animation Studios up to this point. Moana: A great movie with beautiful animation, unforgettable characters and has one of my favorite Disney soundtracks. Ralph Breaks The Internet: While I don’t think it’s as good as the first movie, I still think it is a great follow up to the original with great animation, and the same lovable characters from the original, and the Oh My Disney scene was the best part of the movie and absolutely amazing. Frozen 2: While I do think this film is sub par to the first film, I still think it is a great movie on its own and a worthy follow up to the original with gorgeous animation and the same lovable characters from the original, however after Frozen 2 in my opinion that was the point where it showed that Disney was really cashing in on Frozen, especially with stuff like that Olaf short on Disney+. I noticed that you did not have the animation ready yet, so once Logan finishes that up, I can’t wait to see what it looks like. This was another awesome video Mat, and next time we have the honorable mention. If I have to make a prediction on what the honorable mention is going to be, you’re probably going to talk about both Mary Poppins and Who Framed Roger Rabbit just like in the original, however considering this is a remake of your original lookback, you could potentially also talk about Mary Poppins Returns considering that is a follow up to the original. Overall, all I can say is that our journey with this animation lookback is almost over because it all ends next month. I can’t wait.

Since you mentioned Roger Rabbit, I'm admittedly taking a wild guess that this scene might've inspired the one in Ralph Breaks the Internet when the princesses band together to save Ralph from falling to his doom: https://youtu.be/QKjUtTC3e0Y

God this reminded me of how much I love Moana. They really have had quite the streak lately Disney.
