** The 90's Disney movies have been criticized for being formulaic; whether they are or not is up for discussion, but what is known is that they are ''always'' divided in three acts; Act I ([[VillainMakesThePlot there is no issue yet]]), Act II (the issue arises and creates a dangerous conflict / the villain steps in and endangers the heroes) and Act III (the hero deals with the villain / the lingering danger in an action sequence). Bonus points if before Act I, there's an introduction that tells the tragic tale of how the story came to be (in ''Disney/BeautyAndTheBeast'', ''Disney/{{Mulan}}'', ''Disney/HunchbackOfNotreDame'', ''Disney/{{Tarzan}}''...). So I guess your explanation is that the third acts would ''always'' have to violently deal with the villain/the issue and complete it quickly enough to not drag out, after the nice pacing and story build-up usually seen in Act II.
** As additional proof, the third acts don't usually last long. ''Disney/{{Pocahontas}}'' for example had it's third act pretty much stretched out over the course of ''[[AngryMobSong Savages]]''. Presumably the ones that took the longest are ''Hunchback'' and ''Beauty and the Beast''.
** Renaissance Disney movies that fit into this three-act "cliché" are listed in the hottip. [[hottip:*:''TheLittleMermaid'', ''BeautyAndTheBeast'', ''{{Disney/Aladdin}}'', ''TheLionKing'', ''{{Pocahontas}}'', ''TheHunchbackOfNotreDame'', ''{{Hercules}}'' and ''{{Mulan}}'' (although Act I here is really short). ''TheRescuersDownUnder'' subverts this (the different named "acts" all run through eachother), as well as ''{{Disney/Tarzan}}'' (but only vaguely, because the first act is not problem-free and deals with a large time lapse).]]
