Disney
Through the 1970s Disney was still creating family friendly films such as Escape to Which Mountain and Freaky Friday, those these films were not doing as good at the Box Office as previous, however the animation studio was making success with films such as Robin Hood (1973), The Rescuers (1977) and The Fox and the Hound (1981).

In the 1980s Disney produced films such as Who Framed Rodger Rabbit (1988) and later on made The Little Mermaid (1989). Disney also entered the field of television with shows such as The Adventures of the gummi bears, Duck tales are Gargoyles.
