Disney Renaissance. Was it for videogames too? (lemmy.world)

When I was a kid, during the 90s I lived what it is considered the Disney Renaissance: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disney_Renaissance

And I was wondering if this was happening with Disney videogames as well. Some very high quality games came to my mind, like Aladdin and The Lion King for 16 bits consoles, Hercules for the PS1? And so.

Do you think there was an equivalent to Disney Renaissance un games during the 90s? And if so, what games would define it?

There was a big push in that time with the animation coming from Disney themselves, games like Mickey Mania too. The next big push was Kingdom hearts, which seems to be a push to the east as it's the same time they were publishing Ghibli films in the west.

Games generally haven't seen much of a lull I guess rouge-likes would be the genre that had the biggest drop to resurgence similar to Disney.
