Remember the tagline "The Magic Of Disney"? You Sir, have managed to put into words what the magic was. I am in awe of your talent for analysis on this channel and very grateful for it.
WOW. This nailed it. *This* is the Disney I grew up with and so desperately miss. I wouldn't even say I'm that crazy about Disney but this reopened my eyes to how timeless and masterful so many of these films were, are, and will be.
Great essay as usual. They are more than just cartoons and you explained that perfectly. They are sensitive and indeed show us to believe more in ourselves and that love does exist in different forms.
Way back then, Walt Disney wanted to tell stories with moving pictures, and when he made that dream a reality he kept going. Despite many roadblocks he still did what he loved, while creating a place where anyone regardless of age can enjoy being a kid. After Walt's death due to smoking, the Disney company did their best to carry on his will and legacy. But for some reason or other, they let certain people come in and do the unthinkable: shutting down 2D studios, getting greedy, trying to get bigger than they are, you name it. Sure there were times the Disney company told stories the old way in a 3D format, but that seemingly stopped being the case along the way. So, yeah. Not only were the old Disney movies very interesting to see for the way they used new art techniques, but they told stories that actually taught us how life could be. And hopefully in the future the Disney company will realize what they did and atone for their mistakes. Wishful thinking, I know, but one can hope.
During a time where all we seem to make known is so much dirt on one another even after a person like Walt Disney has passed it feels wonderfully refreshing to hear comments about the beauty and the magic of life's lessons that such a gifted person has left behind.
I understand Disney is a company that is supposed to understand that these animated movies that they created in their history are not just something magical or nostalgic and gold just for nostalgia to people who love they are supposed to understand that these animated movies are not about magic or just good stories with good messages no it’s not just about famous characters it’s about growing up and learning and understanding what is a meaning of learning in life and love and understand why you grow up with these movies that’s why Disney is supposed to understand that people love Disney not because their movies are nostalgic it’s because they have a story that speaks to everyone and every generations even the new generations
That was beautiful and really tugged at my heartstrings ❤ I still love Disney and the magic and hope it provides us as adults to not lose the child inside wishing on that star 🌟
Whilst I definitely miss the magic of the older classics, I feel like I need to mention Encanto. That movie to me is magical and beautiful and definitely brought back a lot of that feeling that has been missing of late. Ps I love your channel, fantastic observations with such wonderful detail!
As kids/teens, we weren't over-thinking or over-analyzing movies/ media for things like whimsy, magic, writing, creativity, emotions, heart, soul, etc., we were just "in the moment" and blindly enjoying the movie, ya know?
I just watched the original Lion King for the first time ever, at 25 years old, and that was f****** amazing, exactly for the reasons this essay explains so well
And that is why I find the live action remakes so fucking offensive. They only recreate the most superficial surface-level aspects of the original, and sometimes not even that. They have no heart.
If only Disney still felt this way instead of being some Elder God of consumerism swallowing all creativity and regurgitating it as flushable retreads (returds?) of better works.
Ok so I commented on the Fight Club vid thinking I had already subscribed, wasn’t, but am now and checking out the channel more. I get this feeling you’re gonna blow up soon. Calling it now. This will be like of those vids that catches the wave from a future vid that gets the algo treatment and keep people to stay.
While I don’t support the idea that Disney is evil, like a lot of companies they haven’t made some very good decisions. We definitely don’t have the same feelings about them as we did before
It’s not just Disney look at Warner they didn’t have magic but they had the Edge that made Looney Tunes and their films animated or not as memorable as Disney and they lost it as much as Disney lost the magic.
Don't know, man. The "Dos Origuitas" scene from Encanto, the climax of Turning Red, and the piano scene from Soul certainly made me feel. I wonder if Strange World will do the same.
Could you do a video on watching a man change: Anakin Skywalker showing his transformation over the films and the clone wars series. Think it would be a cool idea. Anyways great video as always and keep it up!
Can’t wait man. Already know it’ll be amazing! Also I make animations on my channel and I’m releasing a new one next week that shows Anakins transformation across the movies in CGI. You could use it in ur video if u want. If not I totally understand.
@@JustanObservation Wow! I was literally thinking of how an evolution video for Anakin would work. Can't wait to hear your analysis! Unpopular opinion: I feel as if the movies did a good enough job of showing his fall from grace, and that Clone Wars is just supplementary material. His Achilles heel was always his attachments and inability to let go.
@@onemoreminute0543 I feel like clone wars is useful because his turn in episode 3 just feels a bit too quick as they only have 2 hours and in clone wars we get to see Anakins relationships to the people around him really be explored but more importantly we get to see him be a good person who wants to save people and is passionate about caring for others, which makes his eventual fall all the more tragic but that’s Just an Observation.
@@skywalkerproductions8108 I think the fall was done well enough in 3 due to all the set up in 1 and 2. He's already disillusioned with the Jedi due to their unfair treatment of him and was never able to resolve his attachment issues due to the age at which he became a padawan. When he's offered a way to save his wife and try to avoid repeating history, he takes it but in doing so burns his bridges to the point of no return, and he's left with nothing but servitude to his new master.
It used to do that ... The old Disney movies make me feel magic ... The modern films make me feel NOTHING ... Mostly because now our days the company doesn't really care about good storytelling anymore ...
True friends help you in need, but they also should keep you grounded if you have dreams which are just impossible and will rather hurt you in the long run if you pursue them. While giving courage is also important it can also have a negative effect if you only live in dreams.
shouldn't surprise me that all these movies carry these things because when you think about it they kind of reflect the live experiences of Walt DIsney himself. or am I looking at this too much?
Disney used to make me feel this way Now they're "Mad for the mouse" which is only allowing certain people on board. At the exclusion of others. And although I might fit in I refuse to leave others behind, Disney has forgotten the magic and the song of forgiveness. Perhaps one day they will once again embrace everybody with their magic.
@@JustanObservation Oh you have lol I do think some of Pixars films are still pretty good, but it's safe to say the golden age of Disney was a long time ago
Love the video! Pixar isn’t Disney. Ownership is not creation. Star Wars was made by George Lucas, not Disney. The Simpsons is made by Matt Groening, not just Disney. Marvel films are made by dozens of directors, Disney didn’t. Separation of art is crucial to respecting and appreciating each. While we undoubtedly wouldn’t have Incredibles 2, Cars extended, or Toy Story 4 without Disney’s pressure and influence, and many other films without their money and marketing, what they say and the people who made them are more important then the money of license. I hope that, as more time passes, other Disney owned properties don’t become more Disney-equated… Thanks for reading!
Thank you for this video, it’s very encouraging and helping me with my soul searching, and I find that all of us these days are soul-searching. I’am longing to be in show business, I wanted to do that ever since I was a kid and I haven’t lost that interest and do you know how in the Disney films the protagonist has what’s called an I want song? The protagonist sits down and sings about what they want in life then the audience roots the rest of the night for them to get it. I’m not very good at writing songs, so I try to find a song that relates to my dreams my own I want song and it’s super trouper by Abba one of my favorite disco groups. Even now I still want to be in the entertainment world, I am a party animal I love the nightlife and I want to be where the action is.🤣
How do I show this video (or any of these old Disney Movies) to somebody who either never watched them, never had a loving family, or think this is only for kids?
I think Disney has produced a couple of great movies in the last few years that touch your heart like Moana and Encanto. I really love those two and they are part of what would be considered modern Disney. The problem with Disney is that instead of putting all of the effort to tell good heartfelt stories that can be loved by an entire family. They want to push an agenda and "the message" so much they lose the good stories in the process. Instead of being driven by activism, Disney needs to return to being driven by good stories an audience of all ages can enjoy. This was a beautiful essay and I teared up a little bit at the end because what you said rings so true about the reason they typically bring the youngest and the oldest family members together. It really connects adults with how it feels to be a child again and child with the sense of becoming a mature adult. I just hope that these types of brilliant masterpieces aren't in the past for Disney. They can still turn the boat around and make come back to the non-activist, good story loving Disney that we all grew up with.
It's all good that they teach about accepting yourself even if you are different, but the constant portrayal of romance as a main focus in life can actually mess with those of us who actually do not feel the need for a partner in order to "feel whole", we ARE already whole and are instead being pressured into finding romance pretty much in the same way we get pressured into acting like everyone else and give up on our dreams if they are not deemed "practical" or "realistic" in the eyes of those around us; why are we all required to have to share the same dream in life about meeting "that special someone" (as if that's always realistic and practical)?
while i normally enjoy your essays and mostly agree with your points of view, i feel like this time you have been misguided. i find it quite curious that at least half of the footage you are using throughout the video is from Pixar movies. and yes, i am aware that Pixar is owned by Disney (basically like pretty much else in existence...), but that merge didn't happen until 2006, which makes Toy Story and Finding Nemo definitely Pixar movies. and even after the merge, movies like Up, Inside Out and Soul are still distinctively Pixar and anyone who has ever watched one of those movies will immediately notice that style. only because a company is owned by a larger conglomerate doesn't mean that the company's past products can be retroactively attributed to the new owner. it's as if Apple would decide to buy McDonald's and then someone would come along, saying "Well, next to the iPhone, the BigMac is one of Apple's most iconic products." a much more compelling essay (and being mislead by the video's title i've been expecting something like that), would have been an analysis about the once so prominent and unique magic of Disney movies and why and how that magic has disappeared. there's a reason why classics like Snow White, Dumbo, Bambi, The Jungle Book and even more modern classics like Aladdin, The Lion King and The Little Mermaid have enchanted and inspired generations of children for the better part of a century and still do so today, captivating that unmistakable Disney magic that transcended the years, upbringings and circumstances of those who watched them. and while there are without a doubt still commercially successful Disney movies nowadays and some of them can even be considered really good, there is no doubt that somewhere along the line, that unique and distinctive magic has been lost. i would have loved to hear your opinions on that.
I never managed to endure through a Disney cartoon longer than 10ish minutes. Especially because I grew up on the original stories that Disney... well... Americanized and made with happy ending.

Old 2D Disney animations have a certain vibe which makes them timeless. Bambi and Lion King work in 1920, 2020 or 2120.
Way back then, Walt Disney wanted to tell stories with moving pictures, and when he made that dream a reality he kept going. Despite many roadblocks he still did what he loved, while creating a place where anyone regardless of age can enjoy being a kid.
After Walt's death due to smoking, the Disney company did their best to carry on his will and legacy.
But for some reason or other, they let certain people come in and do the unthinkable: shutting down 2D studios, getting greedy, trying to get bigger than they are, you name it.

So, yeah. Not only were the old Disney movies very interesting to see for the way they used new art techniques, but they told stories that actually taught us how life could be.
And hopefully in the future the Disney company will realize what they did and atone for their mistakes. Wishful thinking, I know, but one can hope.
The title should be taken seriously as well - "USED TO make you feel" - Disney producers must take note.
I cant believe a video essay about the magic of Disney could make me cry just as much as a real Disney film
I'm not crying! You're crying! 😭😭😭❤❤❤
Always happy to see a new video from Just an Observation keep it up man
Thanks, you Gent.
During a time where all we seem to make known is so much dirt on one another even after a person like Walt Disney has passed it feels wonderfully refreshing to hear comments about the beauty and the magic of life's lessons that such a gifted person has left behind.
This was a beautiful analysis. Thank you so much!
I've watched these films so many times, but your analysis changes my view. Thank you.
What a great video :) As a 90's kid I grew up with most of the movies you mentioned so I can relate 100% with your observations!
Can’t believe this only has 13k views. This is a great video essay, and you deserve better.
I was thinking the same thing
It has doubled in the past year!
Love your videos, your voice feels very nostalgic to me. Keep making these videos man
the GOAT at observations
I understand Disney is a company that is supposed to understand that these animated movies that they created in their history are not just something magical or nostalgic and gold just for nostalgia to people who love they are supposed to understand that these animated movies are not about magic or just good stories with good messages no it’s not just about famous characters it’s about growing up and learning and understanding what is a meaning of learning in life and love and understand why you grow up with these movies that’s why Disney is supposed to understand that people love Disney not because their movies are nostalgic it’s because they have a story that speaks to everyone and every generations even the new generations
well written and thought out video, i really resonate with this, i truly miss what Disney used to be
beautiful video man
Thanks man, eagerly waiting your next one!
I have no words.... this SO beautifully described ❤❤❤
This may be your best video yet, even considering the high quality of your other video's
That was beautiful and really tugged at my heartstrings ❤ I still love Disney and the magic and hope it provides us as adults to not lose the child inside wishing on that star 🌟
Me too Marissia, I have always LOVED Disney since I was an infant with their beautiful life lessons of life, growing up, loss and more!❤️💕
This video made think and remembered imaginations and feelings I forgot about. Very good job!👏👏👏
The heart of Disney was Walt and he’s long gone 😢
all the great animators of the old days are gone as well
@@MrAaaaazzzzz00009999 it’s sad, sometimes I miss hand drawn animation and soon the ones who knew how to do it best will be gone.
Whilst I definitely miss the magic of the older classics, I feel like I need to mention Encanto. That movie to me is magical and beautiful and definitely brought back a lot of that feeling that has been missing of late.
Ps I love your channel, fantastic observations with such wonderful detail!
Precise and correct, sir. Thank you!
Amazing video dude! Made me cry......
