Aladdin
Some movies announce themselves with noise; Aladdin (1992) prefers to earn its reputation the slow way, one convert at a time. Even the marketing knew what it had: the tagline “Imagine if you had three wishes, three hopes, three dreams and they all could come true.” sets the mood before a single frame plays. Here’s…

Beauty and the Beast
Every so often an animation film comes along that refuses to be filed away neatly, and Beauty and the Beast is exactly that kind of stubborn, memorable outlier. The film’s own tagline — “The most beautiful love story ever told.” — tells you almost everything about the tone it’s going for. Here’s the hook, in…

Mulan
Tony Bancroft isn’t a director who plays it safe, and Mulan — released in 1998 — is proof of what happens when that restlessness meets a strong cast. “The flower that blooms in adversity is the most rare and beautiful of all.” That’s the line the studio chose to sell the film, and it doesn’t…

The story kicks off from…

The setup is straightforward enough on…

THE RIBBON HERO

At its core, the plot goes like this: When the monstrous Nergal devastates her kingdom, Princess Sapphire reawakens as the Ribbon Hero and fights to save her…

Ponyo
Hayao Miyazaki isn’t a director who plays it safe, and Ponyo — released in 2008 — is proof of what happens when that restlessness meets a strong cast. “Welcome to a world where anything is possible.” That’s the line the studio chose to sell the film, and it doesn’t oversell it by much. The setup…

Shrek
Word of mouth is a strange thing, and “Shrek” from 2001 is exactly the kind of film that earns it one recommendation at a time. It is easy to see why it keeps getting recommended long after its initial release. Everything the film wants you to feel is right there in its tagline: “The greatest…
