Tennessee football: Defining Vols history by 10 Disney animation eras
Disney: Post-revival (2018-present)
Tennessee: Downward spiral to irrelevance (2008-present)
We made up this era for Walt Disney Animation. But if you look at the date it’s impossible to ignore. And it’s pretty obvious that the data for Tennessee football is impossible to ignore dating back to Phillip Fulmer’s last year.

Starting with Disney, they haven’t had anything since “Moana” in 2016 that’s not a sequel or a remake when it comes to their traditional animation. “Coco” counts, though, as a Pixar film, so we’ll give them 2017. But they’ve had nothing since then that’s not a sequel or a remake, and it’s almost 2020.
Sorry, but this is a very uncreative time for Walt Disney Animation. Meanwhile, Tennessee football is in a similar boat. They have tried to restore the glory days, similar to remakes, but have only had two top 25 finishes and two seasons with less than six losses over the past 11 years.
It’s been a much rougher time for the Vols, but both are struggling with the engine that drives their trains. However, they are also similar in another regard, and that actually brings up a positive note for both of them.
Disney is on track to have a record year despite no good animation movies. Meanwhile, the Vols are dominating when it comes to revenue, to the point that they would benefit from paying players. This is despite the football program suffering.
Meanwhile, Disney continues to have success in other avenues like Marvel and Star Wars. The same is true for UT, which just reached its first No. 1 ranking ever in men’s basketball and had half the Bruce Pearl years during this stretch.

The good news for both is Disney has more future original animated films in the works, and Tennessee football is looking to restore itself under Jeremy Pruitt. But for now, they’re both in a post-revival era and need to get out of it.
