Beauty and the Beast features computer animation, by the way. I think it's only in the ballroom scene though.

    thanks! i'm not an expert so i wasn't sure (i know they did switch sometime in the 90s but i thought 91 would have been too early for computer/cgi)

    If you rewatch the ballroom scene it's pretty obvious. It's like partially 3d. But it's subtle enough to not stick out.

    Wasn't the first use of CG in a major Disney animated film the carpet in Aladdin? No necessarily the whole movie, but certain scenes at least.

    Uh, sure, why not! Seems believable enough to me.

    Wikipedia has a pretty good list of big "firsts" for cgi.

    It notes that Disney first used cgi for the clock tower in The Great Mouse Detective. However it seems like it may have been cgi generated frames that were then hand animated over.

    As for Aladdin, maybe first to have cgi character? As Beauty and the Beast came out 1 year earlier and definitely had cgi effects in the ballroom scene.

    Note: no idea how accurate the whole list is, but that one checks out.
