True, though I have to say Disney chose the worst kind of film to try and "revive" (whether genuinely or not) 2D animation. Namely, another princess film (or at least one that was posing as a princess film, considering that no one was really a princess in it). Boys and grown men don't like princesses (and the latter that do are really not the types you want to bring to a film for children), and there was a strong push at the time discouraging girls from consuming princess-related media. In retrospect, it feels like the film was just a giant virtue signal, because the only hype it got was that it was the first Disney movie with a black princess in it!
