Today is a very good day to be a Disney fan with a Netflix account. The streaming service just added a boatload of fantastic animation, including films that haven't been widely available for ages!
Let's take a look at the lineup:
As far as animated features go, Hercules has arrived, along with An Extremely Goofy Movie (one of Disney's better direct-to-video films: smart, funny and well worth seeing).
For classic animation fans, the really big news is the arrival of a five-volume animation collection Disney's put together, each with a theme. Take a look at what's included here, and feel free to completely geek out:
Disney Animation Vol. 1: Mickey and the Beanstalk

And there's a little bit more. Netflix also added:
The Fox and the Hound 2 (I'd blocked this one out of my memory)
Honey, We Shrunk Ourselves (ditto)
The Jungle Book: Mowgli's Story (a video sequel to the excellent Disney live-action Jungle Book. Haven't seen this one yet).
And...
School House Rock: Earth. Not nearly as good as math or grammar, but it's a start.

They also appear to be uncensored. Three Little Pigs has the Jewish peddler scene which was cut even from the Treasures release.
