*UK release date was Jan. 28.Helen O'Hara, EMPIRE Magazine wrote:Tangled, out this week*, marks the 50th Disney animated feature, in a line stretching back to 1937. The half-century of animated efforts include some nailed-on classics – Dumbo, Beauty and the Beast, The Jungle Book – and some rather more obscure efforts – Make Mine Music, anyone? Anyone?

I thought this article headlining Disney's 50 Animated Features was comprehensive and interesting, so I wanted to share with other animation nerds.
The long 50-paged review is worth the effort if only for the trivia, production art and behind-the-scenes stuff that I'd never read/seen before. I did find a few slip-ups (the picture used for 50's Cinderella is really from A Twist In Time), but hey, it's still one good overview outside of the House of Mouse.
