The striking evolution of animation in the 2020s showcases an array of options for viewers, including accessible anime, a successful Chinese animated film, and an Oscar-winning indie. This contrasts starkly with the past, especially the '90s when Disney held a significant monopoly on animated features in America. The era saw Disney’s resurgence, inspiring other studios, including Fox Animation headed by Don Bluth. Bluth, once a Disney animator, aimed to create unique films but eventually succumbed to the industry's trend of copying Disney's success. The landscape has since evolved into a rich and diverse market.
In the '90s, Disney's renaissance made them more beloved than ever, leading other studios to create their own animation divisions, directly competing with the House of Mouse.
Don Bluth, a former Disney animator, left to create films that were thematically dense and unique, gaining popularity with hits like The Land Before Time.
As Disney returned to the forefront with its princess films, Don Bluth's work fell out of favor, prompting him to eventually join the copycat trend.
Fox Animation Studios was launched with the intention of rivaling Disney, as studios like Warner Bros. sought to replicate the success of the animation pioneer.
