Disney Animated Canon Round 2: The Classics

[Mr. Smith]

With Zootopia coming soon to mark the 55th Animated film to come of Disney itself [and not Pixar], this seemed inevitable.
This specific round is focused on those films that Disney brought out as it was beginning to really come out, naturally most of the classical Disney moments, good (such as the excellent characters, smooth animation, and iconic moments) and bad (such as the caricatures or sappiness), you will remember from this era...the final film on the list is also the last one Disney himself had a hand in before his death.

So here's what we've got.

1.Cinderella: Everyone's heard of this one, probably the most by-the-numbers one on this list, but at least the talking mice are good comic relief, the fairy godmother is pretty cool, and the wicked stepmother is deliciously evil.

2. Alice in Wonderland: Also one everyone's heard of, but it's rightly crazy and out there with the material.

3. Peter Pan: Ah yes, the one with that it seems every little brat loved, too bad about the uh Injuns the movie has and the uh implications there.

4. Lady and the Tramp: The one with the dogs kissing by spaghetti noodle,...and some uh questionable cats that wreck everything

5. Sleeping Beauty: The most stereotypical Disney Princess tale besides Snow White, which at least has the fact that its the first movie ever. But at least Maleficent is awesome

6. 101 Dalmatians: People know this one as well, what with all those dogs and Cruella Deville and that car. However, it was the first to use xerox style...it doesn't look as smooth as the older ones, but the setting is nicely fit.

7. The Sword in the Stone: If you loved The Secret of NIMH, you owe this film for its existence since this is where Don Bluth started off. The story is about how Arthur became king, but he's not that interesting [well his changing voice might be] nor is much of how it goes. The one scene worth anything is the duel between Merlin and the evil witch...no purple dragons indeed. A pity this was the last film released before Walt Disney died.

8. The Jungle Book: Another one everyone's heard of, mostly because of the "Simple Bear Necessities" I assume. This was the last one Walt Disney had a huge hand in and it shows. It's also an amazing example of material going away from the book and still being good, or better...instead of the usual.

Once again, red for best, blue for worst.

Best: Sleeping Beauty. Sure, it's as classical a fairytale as it gets, but it feels massive and the artwork is beautiful.

Least good: Sword in the Stone. Always bored me when I was a child. I think I never really "got" it.

Funny, I hated Sleeping Beauty because of how dull the characters and story were. The Kings arguing was amusing as a kid, but they just irritate me now, leaving only Maleficent to stand. Classical would have been okay if they had bothered to have characters that weren't flat. Even as a kid I always fell asleep after the beginning, usually to wake up at the final duel.

At least the Sword in the Stone had Merlin, the squirrel attraction scene, and the wizard vs wizard duel.

As for the best, lots of great ones, but I had to give the edge to 101 Dalmatians because I loved the art, the car chase at the end was amazing, the dalmatians were adorable, and of course Cruella DeVille!

I was never a fan of most of these, I was more of a fan of the Animated movies from 1990-2006, as they are better. But if I had to choose I will go with Jungle Book

[CountyTy90]

I honestly like them all, but...

Favorite- Sword in the Stone. Always loved this one; I love history, especially the Medieval time period. Actually, in my top 3 favorite Disney movies.

Least Favorite- Jungle Book. I don't hate it, but not my favorite by a long stretch.

[Atlas Has Shrugged]

I used to like all of them when I was younger. Then, about five years ago, my autistic brother learned how to use a computer and became addicted to nostalgia. Watched every movie on the list every day, one movie at a time, over and over and over again. I can't stand any of them now.

Worst part is, he won't sit down on a couch and watch them on TV. He has to watch them solely on a computer. If he'd watch them on the TV, I'd gladly sit down and watch them with him. But when he watches them on the computer, he becomes engrossed in what he is watching and starts screaming and kicking when you even enter the room.

I'm just going to go by listing all of them here.

Cinderella: Easily my favorite on this list, probably even my favorite of all Disney animation.  The music, the story, and everything else about just makes you feel warm and fuzzy inside.  "A Dream is a Wish Your Heart Makes," "Sing Sweet Nightingale," and "So This is Love" are all awesome songs.

Alice in Wonderland: To my memory, I haven't seen this.  I think I'd like it, but not as much as some of the others on this list.  And I don't care to see the live action Johnny Depp one, either.

Peter Pan: I don't think I've seen this all the way through, but I have seen much of it.  It seems like the kind of film I'd enjoy, though I'm not certain I would rank it as a favorite.

Lady and the Tramp: I know for certain that I've seen this.  I like it, but not quite as much as my top three on this list.

Sleeping Beauty: I may have seen this once on TV years ago, but my memory of it is vague except for a few moments.  Would probably like it if I watched it now.

101 Dalmatians: Another one of my favorites, but I haven't seen it since I was about seven.

The Sword in the Stone: A film that was actually recommended by a Wiccan parenting website as a way of getting kids equipped.  If I ever saw it, it was when I was quite little.  Definitely don't care to see it now, especially since it's not one of Disney's better films.

The Jungle Book: Probably my second or third favorite on this list.  While it doesn't have the emotion of Cinderella, it's just a fun, feel-good film.

Because I didn't understand the colors, I accidentally voted for two favorites.

Given the fact that I'm autistic too, how awful is it that I find this funny?
