Blog Recommendation: Disney Films Retrospective

In honor of the anniversary of the birth of Walt Disney (born Dec 5), I wanted to put the spotlight on a great blog series from Tim over at Antagony and Ecstacy. (Visit the blog now) Tim's current series is a Disney retrospective, featuring a scholarly analysis of each of the full-length theatrical Disney animated films, from Snow White to Princess and the Frog. He even covers the World War II-era "package films", Make Mine Music, Fun and Fancy Free, and Melody Time.

Ive included links to each of the posts below for quick access. It's well written series, and I recommend it for any lover of Disney animated films, or if you've ever wanted to learn more about the behind-the-scenes.
