Best Disney movie

[Thora]

Which one is you favourite?

My vote is for Moana.

 

[platinumsage]

Dumbo

 

[DaveCinzano]

Poll?

 

[platinumsage]

Poll?

I think there are around 500 which is a few too many for a poll. I bet a poll wouldn't include Victory Through Air Power for example.

 

[Badgers]

The Black Hole

 

[JimW]

Mumu's watched 101 Dalmatians about ten times this past few months and I've managed not to scream.

Define which are you limiting to just Disney Studio mad or distributed. Live action or animated?

Cartoon - Cinderella Obvs.
Live action (Kind of) Mary Popins
Pixar collaboration Toy Story 3

 

[Thora]

Poll?

Don't we need to narrow it down to a top 10 for a poll?
I'm going to say
Moana
Up
Sleeping Beauty (original)
Lion King (original)
Tangled
Aladdin (original)
Cinderella
Frozen
Finding Nemo
Beauty and the Beast

Mulan, Lilo & Stitch and Little Mermaid all come close though

 

[Badgers]

Mumu's watched 101 Dalmatians about ten times this past few months and I've managed not to scream.

I do like the cartoon film and had the audio book as a kiddy when I loved the story.

Tip my hat to some others but sticking with Black Hole.

 

[A380]

Might need more than 10

Fantasia
Any of the Toy Storys - although you could have them together
The Herby films

For example all need to be in a poll

I love a good Disney film.

I'm leaving out co-productions, because that's a slippery slope: if you include Pixar (The Incredibles would win against most films) then why not the Ghibli films that Disney funded (they put up 10% of the budget for Spirited Away).

So sticking with pure Disney:

Frozen - I was feeling cynical when I sat down with my 3 year old daughter to watch this, but my cynicism melted away because it's a great film that subverts many of the tropes in Disney films. I've had to watch this a few too many times, but that's okay because there's always loads of little things to spot - is that Wandering Oaken's gay family in the sauna?

Tangled - great version of the Rapunzel story with some excellent action pieces. I'd watch this again now if my daughter didn't think she was too old for it.

Bolt - a little remembered one that I think I always enjoyed more than my kids. John Travolta as a dog that stars in a spy-dog TV show who doesn't realise he isn't a superspy dog until he gets lost and has to travel across the country to get home. Love it.

Beauty & the Beast/Aladdin - these came out when I was in my teens and thought I was too cool for Disney films, but they're both great. I loved them then and I love them now. The genie is one of the high points of Robin Williams career.

Sleeping Beauty - a lot of the old ones have some shifty of-their-time attitudes you have to overlook, but the art on this one is still amazing and Maleficent is an awesome baddie.

Bambi - just cos I love this film.

 

[Magnus McGinty]

One of the classics from the 30s or 40s. As I'm unable to decide I'll just say Snow White which is probably the right answer anyway.

 

[DaveCinzano]

It is rubbish TBF

 

[DaveCinzano]

To come at it from a different angle, I've copped off [with age-appropriate dates ] at:

• 101 Dalmatians
• 102 Dalmatians
• James And The Giant Peach
• One Hundred And One Dalmatians
• The Hunchback Of Notre Dame

Why are you taking so many dates to Disney films

 

[Reno]

1. Dumbo
2. Frozen
3. Sleeping Beauty
4. Bambi
5. Alice in Wonderland
6. The Jungle Book
7. 101 Dalmatians (original)
8. Snow White
9. 20.000 Leagues Under the Sea
10. The Aristocats

(in no case the remakes and I‘m leaving out Pixar films)

Best Disney Film not by Disney (and my favorite American traditionally animated film of all time):
The Iron Giant

 

[Sue]

Jungle Book. But then i haven't seen any of the modern ones so...

Ok, I can see the argument for just pure Disney. But why exclude the live actions?

 

[A380]

On a side issue people often think I am weird for asking which of the Disney Princesses they fancy most - obviously restricted to those that are adult women in their films.

TBF it's a bit left field for a Tinder date

 

[Spandex]

Cos none of them are my favourite Disney films. Not even The Black Hole.

The Jungle Book (1967)

 

[Reno]

I'm still genuinely shocked at how much I love Frozen and I have no pre-teen daughters at home to justify me having watched it about a dozen times. I don't like many Disney films past the early 70s but that one has become one of my biggest comfort films.

 

[Kaka Tim]

Frozen. Jungle book. Bolt. 101 Dalmatians. Beauty and the beast.
Pixar star wars and associated but different production teams don't count.
Pleased to see the love for bolt. A lesser known gem. I actually get a bit choked up when he has to be super brave at the end.

 

[Aladdin]

Old style hand drawn...
Top 5....
1. Snow White and the 7 Dwarfs
2. Pinocchio
3. Dumbo
4. Fantasia
5. Cinderella


Modern animation....my top 5
1. Aladdin
2. Beauty and the Beast
3. The Lion King
4. Winnie the Pooh
5. Frozen

 

[Raheem]

Coco

 

[Elpenor]

Never watched them as a kid.

But the answer is Fantasia

 

[AverageJoe]

The Black Hole

At the time the most expensive Disney film ever and also the only one to have a 15 rating.

It's a great film, but really not for kids. The two "kids" robots were sweet but Maxillian doing his thing and the whole tone of the film made it not "family friendly"
