For a company that made its name telling stories meant to endure for generations, Disney sometimes feels strangely eager to move on, even from its biggest movies. New characters become theme-park regulars and merchandise mainstays, but there is always another new movie or live-action adaptation of a classic waiting to take their place.

Unless a movie becomes a franchise in itself like Frozen or Toy Story , it often recedes into the ever-growing Disney library, fondly remembered and watched countless times on Disney Plus by children, but rarely revisited.
