Because this might possibly be the ultimate film debate.

Please note this is the official Disney approved list of 48 Walt Disney Animated Classics and therefore does not include Pixar releases.

Note the clear dropoff in quality in the mid to late 1940s. Walt must've been upset about something. Possibly about the outcome of some conflict. Maybe his side didn't win.

When I was a kid I liked Alice in Wonderland, The Jungle Book, and Aladdin the most. In recent years I have come to love The Emperor's New Groove. I will go with Aladdin. Are you making a poll of 48 options?

That's not fair. All his staff got drafted to make propaganda films for the US war effort. I bet that really pissed him off.

Lord-Of-Darkness

Is the Lion King one of them? I always loved that. And Aladdin.

My top 3:

Beuaty and the beast
Aladdin
The Lion King

After those I have seen and enjoyed quite a few:

Sleeping Beauty
Cinderella
Lady and the tramp
Bambi
Dumbo
etc..

I am not a fan of the pixar films, except I did enjoy UP recently.

Classics to me are the works on pen and paper.

My all time favroite is Rescuers: Down Under.

Percival C. McLeach owns all Disney villians.

I love a lot of them, but I think my favorite would either have to be Robin Hood or the Jungle Book

Tough choice between Aladdin and Lion King for me. I gave LK the nod, mainly for the soundtrack.

Jungle Book but I forgot about LK.

Mine's Aladdin. Lion King runs second.
That's my generation.

Although, Jungle Book probably comes in third.

I didn't like any of the ones after Lion King, and at some point stopped seeing them.

wtf, come on people.

Lion King was way better than aladdin.

Oh god what a tough choice. Love Disney movies.

Toss up between Jungle Book and Sleeping Beauty...I'll go with Jungle Book.

Honorable mentions:
Sleeping Beauty
The Black Cauldron (underrated)
Aladdin
The Lion King
Beauty and the Beast
Emperor's New Groove
Alice in Wonderland

Yeah, Lion King, easily

Lord-Of-Darkness

06-09-2009, 05:43 AM

I also love Hercules. Not my favourite, but one of the top for me, for sure.

Out of the list, Robin Hood stood out for some reason.

06-09-2009, 12:30 PM

Lion King for me.
Probably because it was the first movie I remember seeing at the movie theater. I also liked the story.

Lion King. Can't believe I haven't seen Jungle Book though.

Aladdin might be the better video game though :shifty: both that and Lion King were good. Lion King had this beetles that would make a huge unnecessary explosion when you defeated them, only enemy in the game to do that I think.

Aladdin gets my vote. Even the sequels were good. Such a great movie and I like the songs too.

Hornicane

Just kind of went with an answer that I thought I liked when I originally posted. But upon actually thinking about the reasoning behind my choice, Lion King is my favourite of these, and I think that it's mostly due to the fact that Scar is probably the best villain featured in any of these movies. I mean, the canyon scene was so damn emotionally gripping for being an animated scene. That shit was legit intense.

"Long live the king." Such an evil badass.

This is hard I think Emperors new groove was the best one they made, but Aladdian and Lion King are great too. To close to call for me.

Lion King, followed by Aladdin and The Fox and the Hound.

Jungle Book just pips Aladdin for me.

Also Little Mermaid is fantastic for Sebastian alone.

You're supposed to tell us which one is your favorite, not which one sucks. Come on Dave, you're slipping.

Lion King

but I love Alice In Wonderland and The Emperors New Groove

VOTE FOR ALADDIN!!

GreySunshine

06-10-2009, 08:38 PM

The Little Mermaid. Hell, we still still sleep on Ariel bedsheets.

Alice In Wonderland, Hercules, and Cinderella would all be close behind.

UmbrellaCorporation

06-10-2009, 08:43 PM

Hercules is my pick.

Beauty and the Beast is second, because....

No one hits like Gaston,
No one spits like Gaston,
etc, etc.

My top three is:

The Lion King
Aladdin
Mulan

But I voted for Lion King because I love the songs.

Did you guys do the Disney Sing Along Songs? I kept getting these from the library like every weekend. I loved the one that had "A Pirate's Life for Me" except I think I was afraid of the pirates, so it was a masochist relationship of sorts.

I figure you'd like Mulan for the inherent irony.

This thread actually made me go and watch The Rescuers Down Under again. Haven't watched it in so long. Actually I got like halfway and then I feel asleep. I have been meaning to watch it anyway.

Savio

06-11-2009, 11:42 AM

So was the Rescuers Down Under the only official theater squeal than?

Anybody Thrilla

06-11-2009, 12:58 PM

It was between Aladdin and The Lion King for me, but Robin Williams > Jonathon Taylor Thomas, so there ya go.

06-11-2009, 01:15 PM

They still play The Lion King songs at the supermarket I work at. So obv. The Lion King

Anybody Thrilla

06-11-2009, 02:22 PM

There are quite a few of those that I haven't seen, and some like Oliver and Company that I have seen but have little to no recollection of. I also want to give props to The Little Mermaid. That's a great flick.

It appears either Scott Delaney or Scotty Ranger enjoys Sing A-Longs.

This thread has me so pumped for my trip to Disney this summer.

For me it's Beauty and the Beast, absolutely stunning film, but there are alot of them that are worthy.

Zen v.W.o.

06-11-2009, 04:53 PM

When I was a kid going to see Beauty and the Beast in the theatre, that first bit when you see the Beast snigging around and going "there's a stranger here"...and then roaring, shit man... about knocked me right off my seat.

Lumiere was pretty kickass.

Savio

06-11-2009, 05:01 PM

The Great Mouse Detective was good too.

I like Pinocchio because of this fun fact from IMDB.

The August 1993 issue of Playboy cited 43 instances of violence and other unfavorable behavior in this film, including 23 instances of battery, nine acts of property damage, three slang uses of the term "jackass", three acts of violence involving animals, two shots of male nudity, and one instance of implied death.

Not to mention kids smoke.
