According to one of the SuperCarlinBrother’s many outlets:
Jonathan “J” and Ben Carlin are a sibling vlogger duo known best for their extreme fandom and wild over analyzation of Pixar movies and other various related media including Disney, Star Wars, Harry Potter, Marvel, and Pokemon.

After successfully completing the challenge, they decided to continue uploading videos twice a week, which they continue to do today. They have currently amassed an audience of over 1-Million subscribers over 165 Million video views and have become two of the most well know fan theorists on YouTube.
One of their latest videos tackled “The Disney Renaissance”:

I really enjoyed this video, and it reminded me that I have a bit of a hole in my memory of Disney movie viewing. However, I think that The Little Mermaid is my favorite of the bunch, with Hercules coming in a close second.
But what is your favorite movie in the Disney Renaissance? Let us know in the comments?
