The best Disney non-animated movie is...

[brerbear8]

In the category of best non-animated Disney film, there is a pretty close race in my book between Heavyweights and The Sandlot. Both are excellent movies and are true classics. What is/ are your favorite non-animated Disney movies?

[krnsngr85]

I would have to say,

Pollyanna
The Parent Trap(Hayley Mills version)
The Princess Diaries
The Princess Diaries II:The Royal Engagement
Haunted Mansion
Swiss Family Robinson
Bedknobs and Broomsticks
and finally...Confesssions of a Teenage Drama Queen

[GreenLantern13]

I guess Pirates catapaulted its way to shore for my list.
But the best one of all is probably Mary Poppins! :smile:
I'm not sure I ever liked Chitty Chitty Bang Bang so much as I liked the song and watched it for that reason alone. I'm sure there are others out there somewhere on the same page as me on that. :tongue:
I watched White Fang enough to go on here for sure.
Angels in the Outfield, just because I'm both an Angels fan and a Christopher Lloyd fan. :biggrin:
And then there's...oh man...I told myself I wouldn't do this...but...poor old yeller!!! :( WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

[Wendy Darling]

yeah, I would have to say...
1. Pirates
2. Johnny Tremain
3. Mary Poppins
4. Angels in the out field
and last but not least
5. Robin Hood (people version)

[sataneatscheezwhiz]

Well, I don't know if it counts but my top would have to be Who Framed Roger Rabbit? followed by Pirates of the Caribbean and Mary Poppins.

[Mickey Man]

Pirates of the Caribbean wins by far

[Shay]

my favorite non-animated movie would be "Old Yeller"

[Wendy Darling]

Whenever I watch Old Yeller, I can't help but think of Cujo...

[Mousekiteer]

Mary Poppins, Bedknobs and Broomsticks and the live action Jungle Book with Cary Elwes.

[brerbear8]

I can't believe that I forgot Pirates! It was very late, though, so I have an excuse. Pirates, Heavyweights, Sandlot, Angels in the Outfield

[sataneatscheezwhiz]

Whenever I watch Old Yeller, I can't help but think of Cujo...

LOL! Thank you so much for making me laugh. I needed that....

[brunetteTinkerbell1955]

is hocus pocus disney? well if it is HOCUS POCUS! and the sandlot, the pirates of the carribean, haunted mansion, mary poppins

[DaddyB]

In the category of best non-animated Disney film, there is a pretty close race in my book between Heavyweights and The Sandlot. Both are excellent movies and are true classics. What is/ are your favorite non-animated Disney movies?I don't know about "Heavyweights", but "The Sandlot" was not a Disney movie. It was released by 20th Century Fox.

By the way, do NOT rent "The Sandlot 2". I feel less smart from having watched it.

[Mickey Man]

haha I have never seen but It looked not very good. I own Sandlot 1 and I like it.

[DaddyB]

is hocus pocus disney? well if it is HOCUS POCUS! and the sandlot, the pirates of the carribean, haunted mansion, mary poppins

I own "The Sandlot", too. My love for it is what made we rent "The Sandlot 2". God what a wasted afternoon.

"Hocus Pocus" IS a Disney Movie. Produced by Bonnie Bruckheimer, who is a friend of Bette Midler's (who is in Hocus Pocus) and also produced "Big Business", another Disney movie. Bonnie Bruckheimer's ex has also produced a couple of moderately succesful non-animated films for Disney.

[brerbear8]

Man. All these years I thought The Sandlot was a Disney movie! It has a lot of the actors used by Disney on a lot of small or tv movies. Heavyweights is a Disney movie ( I checked to make sure!). Both are great movies, still.

[ShrunkenNed]

Mary Poppins tops the list, followed by POTC, The Love Bug, The Happiest Millionaire (highly underrated), Pollyana, and Heavyweights.

[that_L_do_pig]

OMG!

20k Leagues Under the Sea FOR SURE!

[Brer Rabbit]

Old Yeller, Who Framed Roger Rabbit, Mary Poppins, and Song of the South.

[WelcomeFoolishMortals999]

In order:
1. Mary Poppins
2. The Swiss Family Robinson
3. The Sandlot
4. The Parent Trap (the original)
5. Hocus Pocus

[Haunted Mansion Volunteer]

Definitly Pirates, HM, 20,000 Leagues and Remember the Titans were really good movies. My favs!!

[WelcomeFoolishMortals999]

Yes... Remember the Titans is also a very entertaining movie with an emotional and inspiring story.

[brerbear8]

Two more to add to my list- Miracle and Cool Runnings

[Zip~a~dee~doo~dah]

Pirates of the Caribbean for sure.

[disneylover]

[jagfkb]

Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious! I love Mary Poppins

[debijeanm]

Oh, wait! I forgot Tron! I loved that movie!

[DisneyFreak07]

Pirates of the Caribbean, Bedknobs and Broomsticks ( although it is half-animated) and the Parent Trap! I also love Halloween Town on the Disney Channel! I watch it every October!

[Mrs. Nesbitt]

Potc. :biggrin:

[TopCat8]

Oh, wait! I forgot Tron! I loved that movie!
I think I'm one of the 8 people in the world that has never seen that movie. I remember it on the Peoplemover and my dad was like "That's from a movie called Tron." I was about 5 at the time and I thought that it looked so cool. I still haven't seen it though. I'm sad.

It would probably seem pretty tame to you now, but back then the "special effects" were impressive. The story was really interesting, too.

[k_peek_2000]

20000 leagues under the sea. Ive never seen that movie but it has a cool name. Oh wait cool running is an option? I loved that movie! I remember 3 years ago I couldnt sleep on xmas night and it was like 3 in the morning. I came down stares and watched cool runnings because it was on one of the movie channels, then after that was edward scizzerhands.

"Feel the Rythem, Feel the Ryme, Something something somthing, It's bobsled time!"

[kairamoon]

Pirates all the way but National Treasure was good as well

[brerbear8]

"Feel the Rythem, Feel the Ryme, Something something somthing, It's bobsled time!"

Get on up, it's bobsled time!

[k_peek_2000]

Thats right!

[debijeanm]

OH, I forgot National Treasure! What a terrific movie! OCD kicks in big time as I return to edit in yet another favorite, NEWSIES!

OK, revised list:

Pirates
National Treasure
Swiss Family Robinson
Newsies
20,000 Leagues Under the Sea


(Very unlike me to leave the chic flicks off. Does Newsies count as a chic flick?)

[adrianne]

i dont know if this counts but i used to watch those true life adventures movies.

OMG -- I Loved those films!! :biggrin:
And "Song of the South" (but that's partially animated - does it count?)

[Jen-Ness]

If Mary Poppins and Bedknobs and Broomsticks count, then Song of the South should.:p

[lpetiti]

Absolutley no contest! Pirates of the Caribbean is the the best non-animated Disney film ever. After, of course Mary Poppins.which is the best non-animated Disney film that Walt made.

And I think that Dead Mans Chest will also be a great Disney movie, from what I have seen from the trailers.

[Jen-Ness]

I am really hoping for good things with the next POTC movie. I hope they did not try to cut costs.
