Which article are you evaluating?
Disney Renaissance

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
I chose this article because it was listed as a Class C article of top importance, and, as a Disney film fan, I was interested in the topic. Since scholarly interest in Disney films continues to grow in the broader filed of film studies, it's important to have access to accurate information. Overall, my assessment of the article is that it contains impressive research but is not the most clearly written.

Content
Content-wise, the article is very dense. Everything in the article is related to the topic, however the relevance of some of the content (such as the sections on Music and remakes) aren't immediately clear. It takes some inferencing to put together that a sign of the success of films from the Disney Renaissance is how well the soundtracks and singles performed from each film, or that the lasting impact of the Disney Renaissance films has resulted in a new era of live-action remakes.

Tone and Balance
The tone of the article seems to be free from bias.

Sources and References
This article currently cites and links to over 100 sources. Some seem (Disney scholarship) to be more credible than others (sources on Don Bluth's biography).

Talk Page
The talk page saw a bit of action in 2020, when a few Wikifolk determined that it was appropriate to eliminate some information about the film Fantasia 2000, excluding it from the lineup of Disney Renaissance films. The article is listed as a level-5 vital article, C-class, and is part of two Wikiprojects on Disney and American Animation.

Overall Impressions
Overall, this article isn't in terrible shape. Its strengths lie in the comprehensiveness of the research and references that have gone into documenting the Disney Renaissance. Its weaknesses lie in the roughness of the writing and could use some work to smooth over the transitions between sections as well as organization.
