Zorro had mentioned something to this effect below, lost in a sea of a very long thread. But he was referring to production cycle change just in the 90s. How it has gone from 2 years to every summer, and how this diminishes quality.
This really goes for the entire history of the company. You take something like Pinnochio that was made in about a year, and it wasn't all that great.
Sleeping Beauty was over 6 years in production. This isn't just because they hand drew the cells. Disney was really that concerned with getting it _right_. He wasn't seeing dollar signs, he wanted "rennissance paintings brought to life." Sleeping Beauty was one of two disney films made in 70mm, and if you ever saw it in true 70mm, you'd agree the time was well spent. For comparison, if the company "disney" took that kind of time these days, Tarzan would have been the first major disney film since Aladdin.
But then, that would've left room for competition, wouldn't it? The stock holders wouldn't like that, would they? I haven't seen a disney film since the abomidable Lion King, and damned if I'm gonna start now.
Just for trivia's sake, anyone know the other 70mm disney film?
