Whats Your Favorite Animated Disney Movie??

[Elvis is Alive]

Just wondering what animated disney movie everyone here enjoys the most.
Sadly, A Goofy movie is my favorite....its not a classic, which upsets me. i think it is way underrated. I watch it once a month and i laugh every single time. This also got me thinking.....how come donald and mickey dont have up-to-date movies in theatres? whats with the classic characters getting the shaft with direct-to-video releases? Instead of the classics they have had failures in the box office for some years running. I say stick with the classic disney formula of characters already loved! THAt will save Walt Disney pictures.

The Hunchback of Notre Dame and Snow White.

[brerbear8]

Peter Pan. I used to watch it almost daily when I was a kid!

[disneylover]

Alice in Wonderland:p

[TopCat8]

When it was little, I liked The Lion King the best. I think that now, I like Toy Story the best.

[GreenLantern13]

I think the one I watched the most when I was little was The Reluctant Dragon. =D

[Mickey Man]

Goofy Movie is awesome but I also like all the pixar movies and when I was younger I guess my favourites were Fox and the Hound and Alladin

[that_L_do_pig]

Snow White - hands down...

[Executioner]

The Hunch Back From Notre Dame - the music is awsome.
The Brave Little Toaster (the first one only) - very comical and a great cast.
Sleeping Beauty - everything about it rules.
Fantasia - animation at it's finest with musical mastery.

[fantasmic lover]

beauty & the beast and lilo & stitch

[Stephen]

Kim Possible: So the Drama! Defenatly. Does that count, or did it have to be in theaters?

[KIX]

My Top 3 from when I was younger are

Aladdin
Beauty and the Beast
The Little Mermaid

Alan Menken composed the music in all of these films...awesome composer.

OH and Fantasia!

[Brer Rabbit]

Aladdin, Emperor's New Groove, Alice in Wonderland, Peter Pan, The Three Musketeers, Mulan, Lilo and Stitch, Goofy Movie, Lion King, Hercules, Teacher's Pet, and Bambi.

[WelcomeFoolishMortals999]

I like them all a lot, but here are many of my favorites:
Lady and the Tramp, Peter Pan, Toy Story, Toy Story II, A Bug's Life, Alice In Wonderland, Aladdin, Tarzan, Beauty and the Beast, Nightmare Before Christmas, and Sleeping Beauty. So many... I think Lady and the Tramp is my number one favorite, however.

[brunetteTinkerbell1955]

my favorite is all of the disney movies but my favorite is Beauty and the Beast(as some might know) and Peter Pan and the lil' mermaid!

[Brer Rabbit]

I forgot all about Nightmare Before Christmas. That is one of my top favorite movies too.

[that_L_do_pig]

I forgot all about Nightmare Before Christmas. That is one of my top favorite movies too.

oops, second that

[disneyfanears]

Ummm... My favorite is all of them I can't pick just onr

[Space Mountain Mike]

I saw the movie 1941 (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0078723/) just yesterday and a Major was watching Dumbo in a theater while major pandemonium was going on outside. I'd have to say my personal favorite is Pinocchio.

[BDLC]

1) Pinocchio
2) Alice in Wonderland
3) Lilo & Stitch

[micky's]

I love all of them movies all cool.

[Disneyland RR Guy]

Sleeping Beauty

[alissa08]

I love Aladdin! It's my favorite. I think that Disney needs to quit making sequals to the classics though. All it does is ruin the movies.

[Fantasmic!kid]

My favorite Disney Animated Movie: Fantasia

[protostars]

The incredables, as far as the newer ones goes, (great story line...)
Classic favorite, Aladdin, (loved the genie!!!)
Direct to DVD, Lion King 1 1/2 (just love the twisted view of that movie)

[Disneyland_Wolf]

I have too many classics to count.

[RankoAnime]

I agree, A Goofy Movie was very under rated! My friend Anthony and I used to watch it ALL the time. We obsessed over the song that was at the concert. I haven't seen the movie in SO long though. My video got ruined! :icon_cry:

My all-time favorite Disney movie is The Lion King, hands down! I've seen that movie more than anyone I know. I could recite the entire movie. Sometimes I ditched school so I could sit at home and watch it. I was (and still am) insanely obsessed with the movie!

My other favorites include Lilo & Stitch, Hercules, Aladdin, Beauty and the Beast, Lady and the Tramp (I even named my Cocker Spaniel Lady!), and of course since I like The Lion King, I found Lion King 1 1/2 to be twisted funny! :icon_lol:

[Brer Rabbit]

My favorite disney animated movie is either Aladdin or A Goofy Movie.

[carlosbrown45]

beauty and the beast and the little mermaid.

[jagfkb]

ever since i was about 2, i loved Beauty & the Beast, and i still do!

[DisneyStar24]

The Three Caballeros

[linklewtt]

I love Aladdin! It's my favorite. I think that Disney needs to quit making sequals to the classics though. All it does is ruin the movies.
yes, but it makes money for them...so in other words, they'll keep doing it foreva

also, some are actually good. i think that Disney (with the success of Bambi 2) has realized that they have the capability of making these STV movies pretty good, at least aesthetically. so I hope that they will take a bit more time in making these sequels.

Anyways my top 10 are:

-Aladdin
-The Little Mermaid
-The Aristocats
-Bambi
-Dumbo
-Beauty and the Beast
-The Lion King
-Lilo and Stitch
-Cinderella
-101 Dalmatians

[Jen-Ness]

I don't think I could pick just one. I love them all. But if I were going to pick one it would have to be Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, it is the one that stared it all...

[Sesshomaru-sama]

Classic: Peter Pan
Straight to DVD: The Lion King 1½
Modern: The Nightmare Before Christmas

Sincerely, a brother of a half-demon,
Sesshomaru-sama

[DarthTortoise]

Alice in Wonderland is my favorite, but they are (almost) all excellent.

[Jen-Ness]

Oooo, I love Alice. The colors are so wonderful and the music is great.

A note on the sequels. Walt didn't like the idea of sequels, from what I understand. I know they are going to do them, but my feeling is this, if it isn't good enough for the theater, then it should not be released. If the quality is there, i.e. Lion King 1 1/2 and Bambi II, then great. But I have a hard time with a long period of time in between the movie and sequel. The voices are different as well as the artistry.

Just my own thoughts...

[Think_Tink132]

For me, of course, would have to be Peter Pan! i love the animated one and the others ones that are not animated.

[hushpuppy_20]

Lion King hands down. That movie was such an epic. I think its a shame they didn't make some kind of ride out of it for DL.

[linklewtt]

The voices are different as well as the artistry.

Just my own thoughts...

Not so with Bambi II, my friend. Yes, the voices are different (there's nothing you can do about that), but the artists really strived to have the same look to the film as its predecessor. I mean, the artists digitally used the SAME backgrounds as the ones in Bambi, and I mean the EXACT SAME ONES. that's pretty cool! in fact, the scene in Bambi II where Flower is seen hibernatin' uses the same leaves and stuff in Flower's den as were used in Bambi when you see him at the exact same spot. Pretty cool!

Now, yes, the animation is much clearer and the snow effects and such are much better due to digital processes, but i think it enchances the film all the more. That film is one of the most beautiful of all, right up there with Aladdin and The Lion King. I mean that snow in the opening scene...tell me that it doesn't look almost 3D!!! Geez, I love that movie!!! lol

but i know what you mean with other sequels. Return of Jafar was not as aesthetically stunning as Aladdin, just cheap animation. But i think with the success of Bambi II, Disney is gonna strive to match the animation in the sequels as closely as possibly with their predecessors (except in the case of like Aristocats which used crap animation...a digitalized sequel will look much better). So fear not!

[Jen-Ness]

I do think the artwork on Bambi II was beautiful. They really seemed to study the original artwork. I also think Lion King 1 1/2 was so funny.

[Mousekiteer]

The Hunchback of Notre Dame, Snow White, Aladdin and The Black Cauldron.

[Jen-Ness]

The Hunchback of Notre Dame, Snow White, Aladdin and The Black Cauldron.
I think the soundtrack to Hunchback is absolutely haunting. It is one of my favorites.

[tonemangoldfarb]

Pinocchio, completely and utterly.

[lpetiti]

My favorites are The Jungle Book, Aladdin, The Hunchback of Notre Dame, Hercules,Pochahantas, and Bambi. I'm not areally big fan of the sequels though (although having not seen Bambi II, I cannot judge it.)

[Mikokat]

My favorite is Aladdin.

[Jen-Ness]

My favorite is Aladdin.
I thought Aladdin was great. When my kids were little and Aladdin first came out on VHS I couldn't leave the room if they were watching it. Robin Williams was THE perfect Genie.

[ALSil103092]

I'm not sure if anyone has ever heard of this one: "The Fox and the Hound." It is a Disney movie, but I'm not sure if anyone knows what it is. I love it so much. It's so cute!!!

[Jen-Ness]

I'm not sure if anyone has ever heard of this one: "The Fox and the Hound." It is a Disney movie, but I'm not sure if anyone knows what it is. I love it so much. It's so cute!!!
That is one my Grand Daughter favorite movies. It makes me cry, of course!

[linklewtt]

a few days ago i saw The Lion King II: Simba's Pride. although the artwork is not as crisp and clean and beautiful as The Lion King, i must say that it is very good. the best part about this sequel is that all the original voices return (except Zazu's, bummer) which as most of us know rarely happens in a direct to video sequel. also, the songs in this movie are soooo good. it has more songs than the orginal, and although they aren't as good, they still are very good for a sequel. anyways, i'm just saying that this movie is one of the best sequels ( i haven't seen The Lion King 1 1/2 yet), of course behind Bambi II. but still good. watch it!

[diznyfreak]

Sleeping Beauty, the Lion King and the Little Mermaid

[Jen-Ness]

Oooo, I love the art work in Sleeping Beauty.

[diznyfreak]

Yes, that is one of the reasons I love it so much. It was so beautifully drawn. It is the kind of movie that reminds me of the joys of hand-drawn animation that I personally feel no computer can match because each frame carries with it some of the personality of the animator. I really enjoy watching the "making of" featurettes, because often they show the individual cels being drawn or painted.

[Jen-Ness]

I couldn't agree more. I am not fond of computer animation. I agree with the statement you made about the personality of the animator coming through in the drawing. I would much rather see Disney release one great hand drawn movie a year than flood the market with half hearted projects.

[linklewtt]

Sleeping Beauty's artwork is too hard and rigid to me. i mean, if you look at the characters and the sets, there are almost no round shapes. everything is tall and straight. it's too uninviting to me is all. i do admit though that Aurora is a fox. but the artwork compared to Cinderella (which takes place in the same time period) pales in comparison i think

Just wondering what animated disney movie everyone here enjoys the most.
Sadly, A Goofy movie is my favorite....its not a classic, which upsets me. i think it is way underrated. I watch it once a month and i laugh every single time.

--Willbot 5000I think the reason A Goofy Movie isn't a classic is because--though Goofy himself is one of the "Sensational Six" (Mickey & Minnie, Donald & Daisy, Pluto, and Goofy)--people only tend to associate his son Max with the Goof Troop (http://www.apparators.com/CartoonThemes/GoofTroop.wav) series from The Disney Afternoon (http://www.lionking.org/~scuttle/tda/da.wav) (and it was upon that premise that A Goofy Movie & An Extremely Goofy Movie were made) and as I understand it, seeing the ol' TDA characters nowadays is a rarity (especially now that their shows are gone [or are--for some--on DVD]).

[AraBrokenDreamer]

Hm... favorite Diz movies? Uh, I like a lot of them, but here's how I can narrow it down: All Alan Menken animated films before 2000. I'm a huge fan of his work, and Disney has him to thank for the popularity of their Golden Era films, because without over-the-top music, the weak story-lines and in some cases uneven quality of art would show through.

The Little Mermaid: I'm a huge mermaid fan, I was raised on this film
Beauty and the Beast: Actually, when I was a kid I hated this film, as far as I remember, but then I was somehow compelled to watch it, and I loved it. Granted, parts are way too cheesy and one scene in this and the French black-white real-live one both bug the bejeezes outta me.
Aladdin: the Genie, Jasmine (finally, a princess with spunk and a brain!), and the music, the songs pretty much demand you to sing along with them.
Pocahontas: Yes, I know how this pretty much butchers the history behind it, but the score is undeniable. Especially the instrumental pieces.
Hunchback of Notre Dame: Huge Esmeralda fan ('What a woman!' lol, gotta love Phoebus's expression during that), the score (you're right, it's almost haunting, but the vocal songs are also stunning in their own right), and how it was not a normal Disney movie with a traditional romance. That and you have this religio-physcotic villain. And I don't care how symbolic his death was, the man should've faced the punishments he inflicted upon all those innocent people! The artwork was also amazing... makes me wanna go see it.
Hercules: Ah, my little nut-Meg (a New York Gal in Greek Myth, gotta love it), Hades!!! Oh, I loved Hades. You have a villain with a REAL sense of humor (actually he and Genie are the only ones I've seen through most Disney films to display the caliber and style of jokes as they do). And they make Zeus oblivious! The music, the whole church-like style was amazing (if not ironic), I actually have uploaded some of the songs to my Blackjack to use them as ringtones. ('Speak of the Devil'... heehee)

Oh, and while the Return of Jafar made me want to impale myself, the King of Thieves was decent. Definitely not the caliber of the original, but redeeming, none the less, with Robin Williams back and the songs 'Party Here in Agrabah', 'Out of Thin Air', and and 'Father and Son'. LKII: I liked the soundtrack, though the story was significantly lacking. Couldn't say much for any other sequels.

-Ara, Dreamer of the Broken

[Davy Jones fan]

Where to begin? LOL! I have many favorites but I will cut it down to a few.

1. Aladdin - One of the greatest and funniest movies of all time.

2. Hercules - Very great movie overall. James Woods is fenomenal in this movie.

3. Lion King 1 1/2 - Another one of the funniest movies i've ever seen. Great back story on how Timon and Pumbaa met.

4. The Nightmare Before Christmas - All I have to really say about this movie is that it is AWESOME! (I know that this movie was owned by Touchstone for years, but isn't it now technically under Disney's name)?

[km2435]

for some reason, i really likde the emporer's new groove. i also like the classics of the 80's-90's. Lion King, Aladdin, little mermaid, etc. Oh!! and song of the south. (i know it's not from the previously mentioned time period.)

[palomay]

My favorites are, Cinderella, sleeping beauty and the little mermaid. I have to agree with jen-ness about sleeping beauty's art work, it's amazing, and I think that the straight lines give some kind of royal elegance...of course that is just MHO.
But I still cry with Cinderella...you know that scene where the stepsisters reap her dress..I cry all the time with that scene!!
And the little mermaid is just soooo romantic and the artwork is soooo good too!!

[Fantasmic!kid]

Beauty and the Beast

...pure and simple...


~:mickey:

[echoscot]

Aladdin, for it's humor
Beauty and the Beast, for its grandeur
Hunchback, for its drama and music
Jungle Book, for its corny simplicity and great songs
Sleeping Beauty, Maleficent is one of the BEST Disney villains EVER
The Black Cauldron, a great non-musical retelling of a very good book series

[tomserwin]

Jungle Book, for its corny simplicity and great songs
Which, ironically, is the exact opposite of what the book was. I always found that funny. The book was so heavy and dark.

My favorite Disney movie is A Bugs Life; however, I don't think that counts. I grew up on the classics Peter Pan, Alice in Wonderland, Snow White, Sleeping Beauty, etc. I love all of those. Fantasia is cool too.

[km2435]

alice in wonderland gave me terrible nightmares when i was younger. i still loved it. i called it "the scary movie."

[echoscot]

^ LOL I know a lot of people bothered by that one.

[Fantasmic!kid]

I actually don't like Alice in Wonderland; it makes me cry...


~:mickey:

[echoscot]

^What makes you cry? When she sings about "very good advice"?

[One Swell Bear]

Favorite Disney movie? Look at my avatar and take a guess.

[echoscot]

Uhmmmm I guess "Donald in Mathmagic Land"???


Am I right????

[km2435]

"Donald in Mathmagic Land"???

hahah. my math teacher made us watch that last year.

[princesschloe777]

All Time Favorite Is Pochantas, I hope I spelled it right. If not please let me know.thx.
1. Pochantas
2. Peter Pan
3. Sleeping Beauty
4. Little Mermaid
5.Beauty and the Beast
Those are pretty much my top 5, but I pretty much love them all. I grew up with Disney Movies, the only one that I don't care for are the Great Mouse Detective.

[kmb728]

ive gatta say mine is either Peter Pan or Jungle Book


does toy story count? lol
