After playing Kingdom Hearts I have begun watching my old Disney movies again, and they are a lot of fun :)
I used to think that they were just for kids below the age of ten, but they are really great :)
So which one is your favourite?
Mine is Hercules.

Kingdom hearts, is that where you wield a key as a sword? :rolleyes:

The video would be either Aladdin or Hercules.

Yeah thats Kingdom Hearts (and i still havent beaten Sephiroth :p )

Mine is Mulan. The Lion King will always be dear to my heart, but I could watch Mulan again and again and never get tired of it.

We're getting to seeall the Disney movies again, with our son. In general, I like anything pre Little Mermaid - you know, the generation of movies where it wasn't mandatory to have a wisecracking sidekick.

Favorites so far? Probably The Black Cauldron, followed by Lady and the Tramp, Robin Hood, and The Aristocats.

Our real favorite (The Secret of NIMH) isn't a Disney flick.

I've seen almost all of them and I must say it's easy to deem the Lion King the best. It is great. (I watched it again over Christmas break). I'm sorry to say this Jesper, but Hercules is way farther down on my list with Hunchback of Notre Dame, The Fox and the Hound, Dumbo, and such :p . I hate Dumbo. I loathe Dumbo! :eek: I'd say out of the recent ones if I had to pick a runner up to the Lion King, I'd say Mulan. For just plain fun I enjoy Aladdin, Who Framed Roger Rabbit, Robin Hood, The Emperor's New Groove, Alice in Wonderland, Peter Pan, and the likes. But ulitmately, so far, Lion King is the best.

Oh yeah, how could I forget Oliver and Co.?

I Really Loved Belle and the Beast...

From the other movies a did like some caracters:
Iago (Alladin)
Dopey (Snowwhite)
Alice (Alice In Wonderland)
The Walrus (Alice In Wonderland)
The Carpenter (Alice In Wonderland)
The Mad hatter (Alice In Wonderland)
The (...)cat singing "Jabberwockey" (Alice In Wonderland)

The Name a few...

Did Disney do films like Monsters Inc, Ice Age, Toy Story??

I have to say that The Little Mermaid is probably one of my favourites, even though i'm a guy (come on, you have to admit that the animators did a great job of Arielle, or whatever her name was, the mermaid). Aladin is also good.

There can be only one:

The Jungle Book

Sing along with me now:
"Look for the bare necessities, the simple bare necessities, forget about your worries and your strife" [feel free to carry on singing to yourself]

I also love Robin Hood.

In general, the older films are far superior quality in terms of animation, and I've not seen anywhere near the all the later ones, so can't comment too much on them overall. I do like most of the old ones though, so I suppose a collection when I have kids would be in order.

Pixar Studios did the Toy Story movies, A Bug's Life, Monsters, Inc., etc. They're an independent computer-animation lab that got bought by Disney but they're still operating as a wholly-owned subsidiary, AFAIK. To me, they've retained enough originality that they don't fit into the classic Disney mindset.

Aladdin. Definately.

The Black Hole

Aladdin (the first one) Lion King (a classic) Mulan Lilo and Stitch (I can do a pretty good Stitch impression) My Favorite MartianAnd something I found out from The Easter Egg Archive: Movies (http://eeggs.com/tree/1360.html) is that just about every animated Disney movie has a Mickey Mouse head. It tells you where to look for them.

Ice Age

The Lion King. Aladdin would be my runner-up.

I've never seen the Black Cauldron and I'm torn as to whether I want to or not. It seems like it is an unfaithful adaptation of the Prydain Chronicles...I'm not sure if the words "Prydain Chronicles" or "unfaithful adaptation" are more powerful to me. The Book of Three is what made me like reading and the fantasy genre as a kid, I don't want anything to mess with my fond memories of those books.

My favourite has to be the Hunchback of Notre Dame, followed closely by Aladdin and the Lion King... Of course, we cannot forget Lady and the Tramp nor the Beauty and the Beast. Those are magnificent, too.

My Top Three is, once again, based on the bad guys... What a "surprise"...

(The baddie addict)

Definatly the lion king.

Just listen to the music, and voiceacting.

Aladdin rules! *starts singing the Prince Ali song*

The Emperor's New Groove was the best for me.

shrek rules!

oh wait.. that's not disney!

ermm I guess Oliver and Co.

Lilo and Stitch totally rules.

Hmm, Lilo and Stitch was wonderful, it's gonna be a classic in like 50 years from now. But, if you want to go old school Disney, then definitely Robin Hood, the Jungle Book, and the Aristocats.

BTW-Rallymama, I totally love "The Rats of Nimh!" It was dark, the sun did not shine, and the characters were actually well developed! *weeps happily* That was a wonderful cartoon, I love it so. However, it turns my stomach to think that the sequel of it was a total disaster. There was no singing in the original, why must the mice burst into song every 10 minutes? And in the first one, there was no happiness, and in the second one, everything was cheery, and even at night, it looked chipper. I do so hate it when they take a wonderful classic, spit upon it, and then make it into something that it wasn't supposed to be.

Like, Disney's coming up with all these remakes to classics like 101 Dalmations, The Jungle Book, I think, and some others who's names escape me. Why? Why must they do this? You're ruining the good nature of the originals! Why can't you think of anything else to do? Find something else to draw, but leave the classics alone!!! Thus, I now end my rant.

Oh yeah, one thing. That movie, "Who Framed Roger Rabbit." That definitely wasn't Disney.

Hercules and The Black Cauldron are my two favorites. It is hard to make a choice between them, they are both good.

When you are a kid, those movies are great. When you are a teenager those movies seem childish. When you are grown up, they are funny again.

BTW Who Framed Roger Rabbit was created by Disney and Warner Brothers

Silver Blade - I have to agree on The Black Cauldron :D . When I first saw it it was hard for me to beleve that it was a Disney flick.

What really surpries me however, is that for a board with lots on RPG/Fantesy/etc fans, that it took The Black Cauldron so long to get on the list.... Just anoth overlooked gem. :)

In some ways Lilo and Stitch is good and in some ways it is bad. Maybe I just need to see it again.

It seemed to be missing something, but I can't place my finger on it. But it was out there that's for sure. Nothing wrong with wild ideas but maybe if I was going to go the whole galatic/hawaiin/cute monster angle, I would have done it a little differently :p .

And your tone dissapoints me Dark Goddess :p . Who Framed Roger Rabbit was indeed Disney (and WB - makes sense if you think about it) and it is good!

Puh-puhleeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaasssssssseeeeee Eddie!

Quit that laughing! One of these days, you're going to die laughing!

Toons...

Oh yeah, and Roger Rabbit has Admiral Motti in it from SW!

I find your lack of faith disturbing. - Vader
Aack! - Motti

My favorites are Little Mermaid and Lion King.
[Pixar is an independent production studio that has a contract of distribution with Disney, essentially meaning Disney can do whatever they want to Pixar flicks, becuase otherwise they won't get released]

Probably the little mermaid. Or Peter Pan.

I have Kingdom Hearts too Jesper, it rocks. :D

Hey you guys better be careful...When Matthew Kelly's home was searched they took away his Disney videos and the papers made a big deal about them...apparently adults don't watch Disney films

Make sure you're not next in the witch hunt
