Favorite Disney Film..all types..

[Stuart G]

My favorite, Beauty and the Beast...(1991)....have seen it many times, and will see it again

[shenmue]

1. Robin Hood

[brokephibroke]

2. Fantasia

Yeah, I'm old skool.

[Archae]

17. Both of them.

I have both DVD's in a set.

[NightWatcher]

3. Lilo & Stitch, Tangled, Brave, and Something Wicked This Way Comes.

I liked Tangled and Brave because the "princesses" saved their own asses and didn't need a "prince".

Lilo &Stitch was entertaining and SWTWC was eerie when I was young.

I am a grown man and will sing the Little Mermaid soundtrack when I take my daughter to Disney World as well.

[Goonch]

4. NEVER CRY WOLF

[TexasBushwhacker]

14. OMG yes!

Funny. I was just thinking about it the other day.

[tymorial]

15. Excellent choice.

[no_hypocrisy]

5. Mary Poppins

The music, the messages, the actors, the choreography, the advanced cartoons, Dick Van Dyke in two roles.

Went to see it again in 1981 and was awed. Wept when they showed the Bird Lady, when Michael selflessly gave his father the Tuppence and asked if that made everything all right, and the end when they were all flying kites.

This movie kills me every time I watch it, like The Wizard of Oz.

[Stuart G]

9. I have to admit,,I agree with you..

It is a great film.

[Zoonart]

6. Pirates of the Caribbean.

Yo Ho!

[Danmel]

7. I have a soft spot for Pinocchio

I just love Geppetto. He's so sweet.

[Takket]

8. The 2016 Beauty and the Beast is amazing. As is Frozen

[crazycatlady]

13. that comes to Netflix next month

I hope it is good.

I love Frozen too.

[NRaleighLiberal]

10. Bambi. Utterly magical - animation for its time, music, whole range of emotions

[Coventina]

11. Sleeping Beauty, for the animated classics.

I love the use of Tchaikovsky's music, and I also love the "medieval" art style used for the animation.

Also, best villainess ever!!

A close runner up is Bambi, with it's lush, Chinese-inspired artwork.

Third place: Dumbo.

For the live action stuff: Mary Poppins (although there are animated sequences).

[Glorfindel]

16. I agree, totally, Coventina. Sleeping Beauty was and is the best Disney animated movie.

Bambi and Dumbo made me cry when I was a little boy, so I haven't watched them with an adult's eye. Probably never will, and the same goes for "Old Yeller."

[Coventina]

21. I hear you! Dumbo was the first movie I ever saw in the theatre.

I was three years old, but I remember it vividly.

I bawled almost start to finish!!

The "Baby Mine" scene still makes me cry!!

And don't even get me started on "Old Yeller."

Sometimes I picture the people at Disney cackling with glee over planning on making little kids cry!

[crazycatlady]

12. Lion King

[Glorfindel]

18. "Darby O'Gill and the Little People" aye, 'tis grand!

The thing is wonderful beyond description, if nothing else just to see and hear Sean Connery singing and dancing.

[Coventina]

22. Don't forget "The Gnome Mobile!"

Another classic in the same vein!!

[Glorfindel]

23. I have never seen it! But I'll soon fix that.

Thanks for the tip!

[Orrex]

19. Earnest Goes to Camp, that classic from 1987

[femmocrat]

20. Lady and the Tramp

I love all the full-length cartoons though. I have a five-year old granddaughter and we like to talk about the latest Disney movies.

[crazycatlady]

24. I have a niece about to turn 5

And she loves all things Disney but she's not ready for the (full-length) movies. She loves Princesses but most movies have a dark scene in it and she finds them too scary.

For example in Frozen, she won't watch anything after Let it GO.

[femmocrat]

25. Yes, the Princesses!

She quizzes me on them! She has the little dolls and I have to identify them. That is how I began to watch movies like "Brave" and "Moana".

I agree.... some of those scary scenes even frighten me. I'm not sure how her parents handle that. I still remember being terrified of the whale in "Pinocchio" when I was little!

The funny thing is that her parents didn't want her to know about princesses. Then she discovered "Frozen" and the rest is history. I'm so happy because I feel like it's something we can share.

Thank heaven for little girls.

[crazycatlady]

26. I knew with my niece it was a matter of time

Before, she was read books with generic princesses or the non DIsney versions of fairy tales. Then she started preschool and was around other kids her age. That changed everything.

Last year my two nieces were Anna and Elsa for Halloween. This year they're fighting over the Cinderella dress.

[longship]

27. Only one. Fantasia!

All the rest are utter rubbish.

[politicat]

28. Newsies. Hands down.

I love a lot of them, but if you put me in a room with one disk for a year, Newsies wins.

And I will use it to sing down those walls.

[WinkyDink]

29. "Swiss Family Robinson."

[Major Nikon]

30. Steamboat Willie

http://video.disney.com/watch/steamboat-willie-4ea9de5180b375f7476ada2c

[Stuart G]

33. Steamboat Willie,..First Mickey Mouse cartoon with sound..

Helped to strengthen Mickey Mouse as the "Mouse" and Disney as the leader of toons in the 30s, and eventually allowed the production of what was at first called..."Disney's folly"...but later became known as................................................................................................
"Snow White and the 7 Dwarfs............an incredible hit that produced an incredible amount of money......
Snow White was the first full length animated film..

Steamboat Willie is a classic that all of us toon lovers should know about. Because of its success, it lead to other Disney short toons, and eventually the full length movies that this thread is all about. If Disney did not have the guts to produce ...Snow White, and it was a terrible failure....then who knows what would have happened to .............full length animated movies...and ..Disney's career as a whole...

Walt Disney was a creative genius...but...he was also not a nice guy.....but....this thread is about the genius and his creativity...and the later full length animation that was produced by that studio, and other great films without animation..such as Mary Poppins, or the Absent Minded Professor..with Jerry Lewis....This is about the enjoyment that came out of this studio...that lead the way....with ........"Steamboat Willie"

[sarge43]

31. Beauty and the Beast(91), both Fantasias, Wind in the Willows n/t

[rurallib]

32. I shall return to the days of yesteryear and pluck out the original

"Absent-Minded Professor" and the original "Shaggy Dog"

They were good stories, straight forward and had a certain charm about them. Still prefer them to this day.

[oasis]

34. "Treasure Island" with all-time favorite Long John Silver, John Newton.

[Luciferous]

35. I also love Beauty and the Beast

[pressbox69]

36. Never a huge Disney fan even as a kid.

Like this one and revisit often.

[trackfan]

37. I think the only D. animated feature I ever saw was The Little Mermaid.

I saw at least one live action animal Disney movie as a kid. I saw The World's Greatest Athlete - last movie I saw as a kid, in my opinion, whereas the first movie I saw as an adult was Jaws (about two years later - 13 vs 15). Anyway, The Little Mermaid was probably the best Disney movie I've seen, but it's a small sample.

[JuJuYoshida]

38. Meet the Robinsons and Black Cauldron

[Floyd R. Turbo]

39. The little known and under appreciated sequel to Bambi!
