POLL: Best Disney animated feature.

My initial reaction is to go for Dumbo, but then again I do feel Lilo & Stitch deserves more props than what it got.

i voted for the vastly underrated and wonderful "ichabod and mr toad."

other than that...

best: the first three, 101 dalmatians, the three caballeros.

remember fondly: alice in wonderland, the jungle book, many adventures of winnie the pooh.

worst: anything following winnie the pooh on the list. ranges from mediocre to downright dismal.

It is obviously The Aristocats for having cats in it. This is the internet, after all...

Either Dumbo or The Jungle Book - the former has a better story, the latter better songs. Pinnochio is pretty good as well.

Looking at this list has made me realize that Pixar is the worst thing to ever happen to Disney animated films.

The fall-off in quality after Lion King is kind of astounding.

Which I imagine has some connection to Pixar's development. Pixar does have at least 2 very good (dare I say incredible nyuck nyuck) films, both of which's quality I think is owed to Brad Bird rather than Pixar themselves.

Lilo & Stitch is killer tho

Okay d'oh I thought Brad Bird wrote/directed Finding Nemo also, my bad.

i remember a lot more of these a lot more fondly than i would've guessed.

I just now almost accidentally voted for The Black Cauldron because I was thinking about The Black Hole and that poor little broken droid.

i voted fox & the hound. i know its not the 'best' but its my favourite for hugely sentimental reasons.

ctrl+f "Song of the South"

Phrase not found

i kind of want to vote for robin hood becuz ROGER MILLER, plus phil harris, and peter ustinov!

the 60s run (up thru robin hood) is all really lazily animated but all really breezily entertaining in a way that the ponderous "masterpieces" just aren't

lol "ponderous" sorry i became shakey mo for a sec

lemme see which one is pauline kael's fave before i vote

three caballeros it is. thanks for helping the war effort, latin america!

I really could not deal with the end of Fox & the Hound as a little kid and couldn't stand to rewatch it. I can't even remember what my sentimental favorite was at that age, probably Beauty and the Beast although I think I saw Lady and the Tramp an obscene number of times

Also wtf there's a Fox and the Hound 2

"direct-to-video 'midquel'" eat my ass

ooh de lally ooh de lally golly what a daaaaay

caballeros in a landslide

i voted for the LION KING because im a sucker for movies that have a title card at the very end

Robin Hood was in constant rotation in our mid-80s VHS. I still remember much of it fondly, except for the seriously dated pop ballad 2/3rds of the way thru the flick.

This thread has served the purpose of reminding me that "The Black Hole" exists. Thank you, thread.

Also, Dumbo.

aw man the muthafuckin Black Hole

if ppl don't love The Black Hole then they aren't really ppl

do we need a disney live-action poll?

I remember being sorta obsessed with Sword in the Stone as a kid but I don't remember what happens in it at all. We didn't have it on tape and it wasn't at our regular video store so maybe that was the appeal

Arthur pulls the SWORD from the StONE.

Becomes KING

Beauty & the Beast. Belle gives me the horn.

Dumbo. I mean, the Pink Elephants sequence is the finest animation ever put to film EVER in the history of cinema. I mean, quite a tough choice against Fantasia, but the Pink Elephants clinched it.

Wait what was the difference between Fantasia & F2000? Was it just additional content + digitalized?

anybody who hasn't seen Ze's little topologically impossible dance move in caballeros can't really judge the finest animation ever put to film, unfortunately

F2000 is a whole different (and much worse) movie

lol "ponderous" sorry i became shakey mo for a sec

wtf?

anyway this is actually kind of a tough choice for me

anyone who isn't voting for the three caballeros is a downright sonofabitch and i wish a curse on you and your family.

lol it wasn't a very good shakey mo imitation because he didn't say "uh" before his sentence, don't worry little bro.

fuckin people

it might've actually been an alfred lord sotosyn homage, i mean it had the obnoxious film-crit jargon but none of the lighthearted sociopathic wit of our shakey after i edited out the bit wherein i expressed great amusement and satisfaction at the death of walt disney

";-)"

shit just got real on the disney thread, folks.

I've never seen The Three Caballeros. ;_;

I haven't seen it either, tho I've always wanted to - the stills look great

http://www.2night.it/album/redattori/valentina_furri/jose_carioca_2903_d.jpg
^^^ my dream man, let me show you him (he is a bird)

if we lived in a horrible, grey, dismal world in which the three caballeros did not exist, i'd have voted for alice in wonderland or dumbo.

yay psychedelic carpets

I've never seen the Three Cabeleros and I've never even heard of Saludos Amigos.

^^^ the dance in the first 35 seconds is :D

the three caballeros

God I <3 the Three Caballeros. We watched it every day in elementary school to celebrate FELIZ NAVIDAD. It's spicy!

I only know 3 Caballeros from the clipz on Sing-Along Songs tapes which puts it in the same category as The Aristocats, Ichabod and Mr. Toad, and uh Song of the South of Disney forbidden fruit I searched for at every video store and made up plots for around the one musical number I'd seen

I voted for Lilo & Stitch. My favorite older one is 101 Dalmatians, mainly for CRUELLA DE VIL.

it might've actually been an alfred lord sotosyn homage,

I WOULD NEVER USE "BREEZILY" IN A SENTENCE AND YOU KNOW IT

I'm gonna practice singing the intro to "The Circle of Life" for the next time I get drunk

I like Disney World more than Disney films, but I choose Alice in Wonderland because seeing the March Hare, the Mad Hatter, and Cheshire Cat walking around the Magic Kingdom at 12:30 in August wil cause me to trip balls.

YOUR ELEMENTARY SCHOOL CELEBRATED CHRISTMAS EVERY DAY?!?!

oh alfred, you're far more likely to run into the white rabbit before you see any of those bros. i have this tremendous picture of me on the teacup ride, somewhere. i basically sought out the alice in wonderland characters and only found the white rabbit and was quite saddened by this, tho was cheered by the fact that chip and dale followed me and my companion around ALL DAY harassing my date--literally, they were attacking him and physically molesting him.

that has v little to do with the thread at hand, but just fyi, watch out for chip and dale.

now I'm afraid to go to Disney World for fear of Chip n Dale yiffage

you went on a date to Disneyland

i basically sought out the alice in wonderland characters

You provoked it, STALKER

http://images.somethingawful.com/mjolnir/images/cg04052005/specter1.jpg

disneyworld, you ass

i played the mad hatter in an elementary school play u_u

i also played the shell-shocked soldier dude from the beginning of the monkey's paw

it was a revue, of sorts

oh sorry - you went on a date to FLORIDA (ILX's #2 worst state in the union) to DISNEYWORLD

x-post

Snow White, no contest. The songs!

Walt Disney World is its own sovereign nation, actually – one of the many great ways in which Tallahassee has made the Sunshine State a paradise for plutocrats.

i'm sorry, shakey, i brought a foreigner who had never been to disneyanything who wanted to, very badly, to disneyworld for his birthday. i should've just brought him to rachael ray's show u_u

(ILX's #2 worst state in the union)

this is basically, btw, my #2 reason why i like florida, i mean you fucking ppl like AI.

hey I thought AI was terrible

high fives!

Terminator 3 > AI

I, ROBOT >>>>>>>>>> every other movie ever made except Behind Enemy Lines and I Heart Huckabees (tie)

Alan Smithee/Judas Booth cut of DUNE gets honorable mention for not really actually being a movie that was ever made

AI >>>>>K-PAX

A DREAM IS A WISH YOUR HEART MAKES

wait, how did we get on i robot.

or dune, really. this is just non-sequiturs.

Huh, I was just watching the Terminator 3 HD-DVD the other night and it's better than I remembered it . . . eh, at least it has the courage of its convictions. (Cue mushroom clouds.)

Where's the love for Bambi here?

I haven't seen I, Robot or Behind Enemy Lines but consider I Heart Huckabees to be a high watermark in modern cinema, so I am excited to see them now!

NAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH SIN PETINYAH
NAHBADABEECHA BOH
(sicha goo hen ya o wey)

:D

so like in an alternate universe The Black Hole and Harvey are the same film, right, where the lone surviving scientist on the Cygnus is Elwood P. Dowd, and instead of a big red demonic robot, there's an invisible giant rabbit. They get drunk and steer the cygnus on a collision course with the black hole and the Palomino crew is thinking about escaping but then they're all like "fuck it"

http://www.hollywoodjesus.com/movie/pinocchio/16.jpg by a dozen miles.

had the score to aladdin on casette tape and it was probably the only music i listened to in 1992.

that and check your head, probably

lol gaaaaaaaaaaaaaay

was it gilbert gottfried's last great role? i say yes.

ok I am officially scared of the day we discover some internet jukebox in a bar that has disney musicals on it

one time we were on a bus ride to put on our production of THE LION THE WITCH AND THE WARDROBE (i guess i should retract my lol gay thing now) for underprivleged elementary school students and me and my friend j0sh spent the entire ride sitting in the back of the bus singing 'a whole new world' at each other, really loudly, while eating frosting. we got yelled at eventually :(

I would have voted for Dumbo, save for the minstrel show crows. "I be dun seen bout ever'thing" etc. Uhhh...

So instead I went for The Little Mermaid, because I am a homosexual and I love Ursula/Divine.

"i wanna be like you" is an awesome song, i would put that on in a bar

wait, is aladdin really that old? i thought i was way older when that movie came out. at least i was way older when i was jacked up on sugar, manically singing the theme song from that movie. wow wtf.

im gonna be a mighty king, so enemies beware
(ive never seen a king of beasts with quite so little hair)
im brushin up on lookin down, im workin on my roar

lol i was 7 what's your excuse

can you feel the love tonight = #1 all-time jam of all time

i was in drama club :\

max is on another plane right now, basically

i can see what's happening
(what?)
and they don't have a clue
(who?)
they'll fall in love--and here's the bottom line--
our trio's down to two
(oh.)

actually you know what? like 87% of our jokes were based around the film aladdin that year. what the hell?

i mean it came out like 4 or 5 years earlier??? why would we base our entire school year around cracks about aladdin?

max is on the money plane

aladdin's good an all but freal guys--THE LION KING is straight fucking godly

jesus i needed different friends.

dude the lion king sucks.

the nazi-hyenas??!?!?! BE PREPAAAAARED

ally you suck and so does your life and everything you do and all the food you eat

Somewhere around my sophomore year of high school, before my voice changed irrevocably, I could do an incredible imitation of Geddy Lee singing "Can You Feel The Love Tonight".

yeah i know that but it doesn't make the lion king any better

"Mufasa!"

"Say it again!"

"Mufaaaasssssaaa!"

man and the scene where scar gets killed?! anyone who doesnt respond to this movie with EMOTION is in all likelihood damaged in some way (unloving parents, etc)

have you guys ever been to baia y/n

moonship journey to baia

ok ally we can agree on three caballeros. the scene where carmen miranda is singing and her head is like, the moon? or whatever? is probably the reason i smoke so much pot. it affected me.

I am not seeing anywhere near enough love for The Little Mermaid, or Ursula the Witch. Step it up, ppl.

that whole scene is a big masturbation euphemism.

xpost seriously dude my sister had the little mermaid cassette tape and i have had quite enough of the little mermaid to last a lifetime.

OK, srsly:

http://www.aa.e-mansion.com/~rydeen/Resources/BambiMotherImage01-200.JPG

MY LITTLE POOPSIES!

disney movies made before little mermaid with few exceptions are for lames and old people

no Pete's Dragon, no credibility

i appreciate the little mermaid all cocks 94/7 original vhs artwork though. my mom still has it!

Also, the Salvador Dali/Disney collaboration Destino:

http://www.youtube.com/?v=zMkwBvssz_Q

proto aeon flux

isn't that making the rounds again at theatres?

The older Disney films' music was so much more touching, it's weird to listen to something like "Ooh De Lally" or "I Wanna Be Like You", so full of charm and spirit yet on such a small scale, then hear like Phil Collins' insane billion drums pounding bullshit Tarzan bullshit music.

xpost haha if anyone ever doubted my creepyness, know this: it was I to whom the responsibility fell to point out to my sisters and their friends where the rumored penii were on the cover of the Little Mermaid VHS

i like this thread. the correct answer, however, is dumbo.

ok if they couldn't tell where they were (the answer: everywhere, all over the entire cover that wasn't taken up by said titular mermaid) then there's nothing you could do to help them find them, nick.

pounding bullshit Tarzan bullshit

this is the new magic people voodoo people

I voted for THE ARISTOCATS because we own it on DVD. Sarah tried to make me watch it a couple of years ago, I think I fell asleep.

Those are Aristocats.

http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a250/RikiOhh/098/Bambi/133002.jpg

NO ONE LIKES BAMBI

bambi is fucking depressing

it's not right to make something so cute like that and then make it all sad and shit

the parts that aren't depressing are fucking lame

i voted Sword in the Stone only because i named my cat Archimedes after the owl.

that skunk is really really cute though.

bambi is awesome. teaches you about death and bunnies.

WAIT

we own Aristocats on VHS, not DVD.

you just like to be contrary

This is actually the most difficult important ILX film poll decision I've faced yet.

FYI some people may tell you baby skunks don't have their spray glands yet when they are babies. These people are wrong; there is one very stinky llama on my grandparents' farm that will attest to that.

there's another universe where Ramosi is Bambi and Bambi is Ramosi

Bambi's got shootings, fires, antler fights and implied hott animal sex. None of these things are lame. They're practically a Michael Bay movie!

wtf I've never heard of this Lil Mermaid cover scandal

rabbits all inducin' emesis to recover $110 of crack

ok i don't like to think about "implied hott animal sex" ever again thx ok

hahah Phil 8080 re: Michael Bay. FLOWER: NOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!*runs and leaps across quickly widening explosion chasm*

Also FERNGULLY hahaha remember FERNGULLY?

shakey, i'm overstating the case because it is hilarious but it was a big scandal! the movie poster and the original vhs cover, the castle basically kind of looked like it was made out of dildos. subsequent issuings of the vhs and then the dvd did not have the castle on the cover, because of moms being all uproarious about shit.

FYI some people may tell you baby skunks don't have their spray glands yet when they are babies. These people are wrong; there is one very stinky llama on my grandparents' farm that will attest to that.

haha moms be hatin on dildos

ursula was based on divine

that was already covered

I fully support the live action Disney movie poll, although I fear that we might all kill each other over Black Hole/Pete's Dragon/Escape From Witch Mountain disagreements.

It should be noted that I am far too lazy to actually make this happen.

guys there were a thousand live-action disney movies, that poll is kind of impossible

Where's your dedication to the task at hand?

Also, is Tuomas allowed to post this poll as he lives in a country where Donald Duck is banned for pantslessness y/n?

NO SONG OF SOUTH = ILX HATES NEGROES

i'm actually trying to do such a thing but the list is...enormous and difficult to whittle down to essentials. i don't want someone bitching because i'm leaving out, like, "around the world in 80 days" (starring jackie chan and steve coogan so actually maybe i personally would bitch about that omission), so i'm having a difficulty.

also I would like to cast Belle from beauty and beast as besst looking disney heroine, little mermaid based on alyssa milano notwithstanding

if I remember correctly there are a shit-ton of nature/animal movies, right...?

maybe I will vote for the one where the dog, the cat, and the bird all team up to find their way home in a heartfelt and touching journey across the country

no wait I vote for Shakiest Gun in the West!

they based the little mermaid on alyssa milano? have they SEEN alyssa milano?

APPLE DUMPLING GANG SEZ FUK U

I think this is true xpost. she did the voice. I might have belle and ariel mixed up.

http://www.tshirtwatch.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2007/02/alyssa-milano-colts-tee.jpg

she's hideous

don't sleep on Darby O'Gill and the Little People ILX

I haven't seen any of the ones after Robin Hood (its Radio City run). I also don't remember seeing any of the classic First Five til adulthood.

As an E.T. fan, I voted for Bambi.

fuck u shakey

from the Little Mermaid on its just a huge mountain of shit

kinda forgot about the Great Mouse Detective, I liked that one at the time

alyssa milano RIP

"I Wanna Be Like You", so full of charm and spirit yet on such a small scale, then hear like Phil Collins' insane billion drums pounding

Well, obv Phil Harris ("Bear Necessities") could eat Phil Collins for breakfast.

Belle = tall, skinny girl with daddy issues?

jimmy i think u mean belle. ariel has bright red hair, for starters, and looks nothing like that.

xpost ZING ZANG ZUNG

cartoons voiced by celebrities/actors, and songs written by over-the-hill pop hacks = dud

As an E.T. fan, I voted for Bambi.

WHAT DOES THIS EVEN MEAN?

this is the most controversial thred is some time.

u_u

hey Shakey, Phil Harris, Peggy Lee and Louis Prima were Disney voicer celebs w/ cred!

JJ, watch them back to back sometime.

it means Morbs likes to cry at movies

Morbz I don't disagree (I love louis Prima) - I just preferred the animation industry when those were the exception and not the rule

HOT LEAD AND COLD FEET

Somebody better get that live action poll going soon, because I'm all hopped up and ready to go toe to toe with some peeps about The Ghost And Mr. Chicken.

not disney?

Don Knotts vs. Kurt Russell FITE!

Flight of the Navigator tops the live action poll

Which will be hard, because under further review, it would appear that it wasn't a Disney movie, but a Universal one (sadly also true of the Shakiest Gun In the West.)

Yeah, that was an xpost.

a separate poll for the mixed media movies maybe...? Incredible Mister Limpet vs. Pete's Dragon

how about someone just lists a bunch of movies, Disney or no, and then we vote on them/

wasn't a Disney movie, but a Universal one (sadly also true of the Shakiest Gun In the West.)

!!! lame

I would point out that in Mary Poppuins and 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea (yes, that was Disney), Julie Andrews and James Mason are waaay sexier than Kurt Russell and Don Knotts.

OK, Julie is a LITTLE sexier.

well if someone wants shit like flight of the navigator or tron or any other sci fi nonsense that 80% of ilxors are going to vote for because they were NERD ALERTS in high school to win, someone else better make that poll cos i am going to purposefully leave them off to stack the decks in favor of kurt russell.

INCREDIBLE MR. LIMPET IS NOT A DISNEY MOVIE

do we need a disney live-action poll?

1. Benji The Hunted
1a. The Bear

LIMPET = ALSO UNIVERSAL. Share my shame.

xpost

fuck it lets just do a Don Knotts poll then

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ yes i will start that right now

1b. The Incredible Journey
1c. The Adventures of Milo & Otis

apparently my childhood was one long string of 'animal-in-danger' movies.

http://www.stuckinthe70s.com/images/160270kurt.jpg

in the mixed media, TRON pwns all really

gay writer buddy of mine: "Li'l Kurt Russell made me gay"

The Computer Wore Tennis Shoes is awesome

god i am so sick of tron

DOES NOT COMPUTE

does he learn about the thing we humans call "love"?

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0066811/

"The Fox and the Hound" is kind of underrated, I think.

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

FANTASIA!

i don't want someone bitching because i'm leaving out, like, "around the world in 80 days" (starring jackie chan and steve coogan so actually maybe i personally would bitch about that omission), so i'm having a difficulty.

Actually that movie was really entertaining, fast-paced and funny. It also had cameos from all these Wes Anderson dudes. I would vote it before 90% of all the 90 billion other live action Disneys, save maybe The Ugly Dachshund and those nature movies that were overdubbed ala "Endless Summer," which we watched endlessly in elementary school when we weren't being showed The Three Cabelleros or that scary-assed Raggedy Ann/Andy cartoon by the Who Framed Roger Rabbit guy.

i vote for bambi, cause i enjoy the songs in it.

The Jungle Book, first movie I ever saw

Bambi was the first movie I ever saw at the cinema. I am a downright sonofabitch because I voted for Fantasia. It was the best Christmas present I ever received, because it was an unexpected surprise at 18 from my nan (she remembered it was my favourite movie as a kid). THANKS NAN!

Bambi's great; it's so fun to sing "Drip Drip Drop Little April Showers," wonderful all-choral song.

How Fantasia would not win this?

I would like to mention that the animated sequences in Bedknobs and Broomsticks are great, in a 1960s English let's fight the Nazis through songs and football kind of way. Also, Angela Lansbury.

in a 1960s English let's fight the Nazis through songs and football kind of way.

hahahaha

Bedknobs and Broomsticks was totally my favorite movie for a while when I was around 7.

I voted for "Jungle Book", I love it. I haven't seen "three caballeros" and now I really want to. I love "Bambi" as well, b/c it's beautiful to look @, but as someone mentioned upthread it is a bit depressing, and hard to take when yr a kid.

Bedknobs and Broomsticksp scareds the shit out of me! It kept moving.

I voted Aladdin if only because I like drunkenly singing "Prince Ali, yay it is he, Ali Ababwa" (NB. I don't know the words). Also Robin Williams was great.

I wanna be like King Louie, cause he's the king of the swingers.

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

I like drunkenly singing "Prince Ali, yay it is he, Ali Ababwa"

I will do this tonight at the pub.

Alice in Wonderland?!? that movie is so half-assed!

Yah WTF!

(But then I'm an asshole stickler who hates whn adaptations of Alice in Wonderland throw in shit from Through the Looking Glass.)

(But also it's totally half-assed.

tuomas you forgot to include "victory through air power"!!

If it was Švankmajer's Alice, maybe...but then I was one of the three stooges who voted Sword in the Stone.

First time one of my goddamn picks wins.

THIS #1 RESULT IS BULLSHIT AND YOU ARE ALL OBVIOUSLY CRAZY.

Hello. I'm also getting PISSED at Aristocats at 5 votes? Have you ever even HEARD that song they sing about "SCALES AND ARPEGGIOS"? Maybe the only good thing about that movie was inspiring the Cures' Lovecats video, wherein the bassist looked k-hott.

the whole internets is gonna get the worng idea

I like AiW and all but there are all kinds of things about it that are sub-par for Disney - the songs for one thing, the lack of a plot for another, and several sequences where the animation is, er, less than stellar. COME ON PEOPLE

okay the Un-Birthday Song is good

Some of you muthafuckas is high, voting Alice #1.

re Shakey Mo's ALice comment: At least it wasn't Xerox cel method, which kind of ruined 2 decades of Disney films.

I think maybe some peoples voted for what it was adapted from rather than the film itself? Cuz if I'm going from original material Alice wins easy.

Hello. I'm also getting PISSED at Aristocats at 5 votes? Have you ever even HEARD that song they sing about "SCALES AND ARPEGGIOS"?

There was a song from it that went "Everybody wants to be a cat" which used to be on my kiddie Disney record and I thought was absolutely wicked. Also, "We are siamese if you please". So, top songs. Don't think I've ever actually seen it though.

We are siamese is Lady & Tramp tho

Oh, so it is. I got confused cos it's about cats.

Understandable. I haven't seen most of this shit in years and hate hate hate the DVD moratorium bullshit. I've never even seen The Lion King.

you aren't missing anything

(just the circle of liiiiiiiiiiife)

Everything up to his dad dying is pretty good. Everything after is a bit annoying.

I mean I've seen bits and pieces on TV and lost interest, just never beginning to end. If I tell this to people even a couple years younger than me they act like I'm the lex or something. Last Disney thing I was really into was Aladdin.

Lion King was so much better than Aladdin tho

emperor's new groove was better than aladdin (truelly)

no that's not my vote

Emperor's New Groove was just David Spade mugging pointlessly in a llama's body. :(

i voted pinocchio because the ride at disneyland makes it seem so exciting and epic despite not remembering the film too well.

xpost it's all about putty's character and lots of green. It was nice and silly.

Pinnocchio is excellent, it's in my top three.

"The Emperor's New Groove" is massively, horrendously underrated. I wouldn't vote for it.

well i didn't vote aladdin and probably wouldn't watch it now

i would've voted for alice had i not voted for the three caballeros! y'all are crazy.

You should watch THIEF & THE COBBLER instead; that shit is acid trip fucked up nutso and Aladdin ripped off a lot of scenes from it. The film was 20 yrs in the making and eventually people from the studio went to Disney & just copied scenes movement for movement.

xpost

A similarities:

http://www.cartoonbrew.com/archives/thiefcobbler_c.jpg

Except Jasmine precursor is called PRINCESS YUM-YUM!

yeah I've heard about this movie and want to see it

It's also got OGRE NAZIS:

http://orangecow.org/thief/thiefpic38.jpg

Movies I would vote for in a heartbeat before even considering "Alice In Wonderland":

The Jungle Book
Dumbo
Fantasia
Beauty and the Beast
Bambi
The Three Caballeros
Pinocchio
The Lion King
Aladdin
Lady and the Tramp
One Hundred and One Dalmatians
Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs
The Fox and the Hound
The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh
The Adventures of Ichabod and Mr. Toad
Peter Pan
Mulan
The Hunchback of Notre Dame
The Rescuers
Sleeping Beauty
The Black Cauldron
The Great Mouse Detective (+++++++++++)
Cinderella

Dan 8080.

Srsly, people, what happened here?

I saw The Black Cauldron and The Great Mouse Detective in the theater! Also a rerelease of Pinocchio and The Little Mermaid. I think that's it.

The only reason I didn't list "The Black Cauldron" is because I never saw it; I love the source material to bits, though.

i don't even remember liking alice in wonderland. but i loved basically all of the ones dan listed (except for mulan, hunchback, cinderella). i love the lloyd alexander book, but black cauldron didn't seem like that well put together (i read somewhere that the money ran out and the ending never got finished?)

p.s. i'd give up a whole hellova lot to have a voice like sterling holloway.

but you did list black cauldron dan

Lloy Alexander BOOKS; that movie was all 5 of them stuck together.

"Mulan" and "Hunchback" I will go to bat for because I've seen them both recently; "Mulan" I like for illogical reasons (Xtina sang the big song from it and Ming-Na and Eddie Murphy are in it) and logical reasons (it's a bog-standard plot but reasonably well-executed and I cared about what happened as the movie went on) while "Hunchback I saw by accident after years of avoiding it because I was convinced it was a saccharine whitewash of the original story and in seeing the movie I was shocked and amazed that it actually was on the dark side in terms of what you expect from a Disney movie.

(xpost: hahaha oops, I have been drinking)

i'm a little more surprised by jungle book than alice to be honest. and only grownups and asswipe kids who go to the next grade up for reading are into fantasia

lilo and stitch rules but mulan is the last disney i have sentimental childhood attachment to, despite being kiddy stuff somehow it remained a birthday sleepover staple well into middle school

jeez that Pinocchio re-release I was talking about was 1984, must've been one of the first movies I ever saw in the theater.

it actually was the first movie i saw; my dad wrote in his journal about it the night after he took me. he said i spent the next whole day telling lies, pressing on the end of my nose, and giggling.

would have voted lion king

lion king had a really epic board game tiein

ok I'm pretty sure I saw Bambi in '82 but was too young to be traumatized by the mom death or know wtf was going on or give a shit about Bambi but I liked Thumper.

The board ate my post :(

Thumper is the only rabbit I know who transferred his lust from his dick to his foot.

I'll write it again:

While you're all in hell for worshipping obese animals and listening to trippy Mad Hatter tales, I'll be in heaven sipping margaritas thanks to THE RESCUERS DOWN UNDER.

If you guys haven't seen HUNCHBACK (and I doubt most of you have), you NEED to watch the creepiest song sequence in any animated feature or possibly any movie ever. Evil priest sings about how he must fuck a woman or she'll go to hell.

I kind of had a crush on evil priest when I saw this movie at theater during age 12. ;_;

That was the last Disney film I saw in the theatre...several parents walked out. True story: one old bag said to another, "These Disney people think they're David Lynch or something."

HAHAHA that's awesome.

I remembered the whole 'God have mercy on her...God have mercy on me' bit just before it came up! :D

yeah hunchback is sorta classic despite being a hot mess, i remember my parents were heckling it bc of happy ending and demi moore but i had a bunch of crude tracings of the gypsy jester guy in my shitty drawing notebook that summer

I had a crush on him, too.

That religious rapeanger song shit is blood money diamonds gr8080. The rest of the movie doesn't really live up to it.

Holy crap Benji is TEARING SHIT UP on "So You Think You Can Dance," gotta go

Yeah, I remember when I was watching Hunchback, and that priest scene came, and I was like holy shit, am I still watching a Disney film?! But most of the movie was pretty uneven, and I never understood why, if the theme of the movie was that apperances don't matter, did Esmeralda choose the handsome prince anyway, and the Hunchback was left without any cookie? Either make it a tragedy like the original, or make him get the girl, but the ending we got was pretty half-assed.

no Pete's Dragon, no credibility

Pinocchio was robbed.

Pete's Dragon deepened my fear of hillbillies.

AVOID AVOID AVOID

lol @ these results btw

Pete's Dragon is a bizarre, dark Disney whatthehellwereyouthinking movie. And yet I kinda like it.

I was obsessed with Pete's Dragon as a kid. My favorite stuffed animal was a little Elliot pillow. I haven't seen it in years. The traveling magician (I think?) was way creepy and mickey rooney was such a drunk!

And Shelley Winters as an abusive adoptive mom, and leering hillbillies, and Helen Reddy pining for her true love lost at sea.

Yeah, it was pretty bizarre. I was a weird kid though.

I do a mean Elliot impression btw.

Ha! My 3 year old was into it for awhile, but he started getting scared toward the end so I've put it away for a few years.

I had the read-along record so I'm intimately familiar with this one.

The movie has fewer turn-the-page BEEPS.

two of Disney's most racist movies in the #2 spot

I dunno, the Jungle Book doesn't strike me as so bad...?

Wld rank Lady & the Tramp or Peter Pan ahead of it.

that sounds about right

Don't get me wrong, that ape is the WORST.

Ape is based on Louis Prima, a white guy

I don't get what specifically about King Louie codes as "black", it's not nearly as straightforward as the crows in Dumbo or the cats in Lady & the Tramp. Louis basically plays himself - a goofy jazz singer. His overriding goal is to get the secret of fire from Mowgli (who is also, incidentally, not white). The argument that a white guy acting (arguably) like a black guy while expressing a desire to be more like another non-white character is RACIST seems pretty convoluted to me.

shakey OTM.

haha i'd forgotten the cats in 'lady and the tramp,' i assumed abbs was referring to the stereotyped italian chefs!

haha!

"where we finding baby there are milk nearby"

The whole Pleasure Island sequence was one of the most frightening experiences I ever had in a theater.

10x scarier than anything Gerald Scarfe ever did.
