What is your favorite recent live action Disney movie?

I voted Pirates of the Caribbean: Curse of the Black Pearl, hands down. It was easily the best live-action Disney film since the 60's. The later two films sucked, but what can ya' do?

Well, clearly I'm in the minority here, but I picked Enchanted and The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe.

I picked Enchanted because it was such a lovingly constructed parody/tribute to Disney, and its timing couldn't have been better. With the company having been in such a slump at the time, for Disney to poke a little fun at its conventions was refreshing and showed that they had a bit of humility. Sure, it has quite a few plots holes and is slightly predictable... but it generated so much hype and is just so darn adorable!

As for The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, I thought (next to Holes, which should be on this list!) that it was one of the best adaptations of a book I have ever seen. What I think really stood out was that it included everything in the book and then some. That movie is one of the few instances where I think the movie outdid its source material. The magic of discovering Narnia has never been better captured and displayed on the screen, and never will be.

Personally, I find the Pirates franchise overrated. I liked the first one, but it's certainly not one of my favorites from the recent years. And I thought the last two were convoluted and unneccessary. But that's just me.

Nightmare before Christmas in 3D is my favorite movie!

There are three on that list that I absolutely love! Those three are Enchanted, The Haunted Mansion, and Bridge to Terabithia.

I think two of the attraction films are kind of underappreciated by a lot of the attractions' hardcore fans and those two are:

Country Bears and the Haunted Mansion
