The animation topic made me think of a question I have for all yall.
What's your favorite disney movie or movies?
-
Oooohhh. Toughie. I'll have to separate it into Traditional and CG and then overall.
-
Oh go ahead. I was gonna do that but I like to hear others first
-
Yeah. Gotta make teh list.
-
MAKE DAT LIST

Zootopia's my current favorite. It just did so many things right.
The Fox & The Hound was the first I can remember making a big impact on me. Even the sequel was pretty good (IMO anyway).
And as an unrepentant furry I have to include Robin Hood. No, not the 1952 version.
While not necessarily favorites, I do have a lot of respect for the early classics like Snow White, Dumbo, and Fantasia. Incredible amounts of work and skill went into them, and they're still influential today. I also remember adoring the Herbie movies when I was little, though I can't say how well they'd hold up for me now.
-
Haha, you have the same favorites as me! I loved Fox and The Hound as a child, it would be the one I most often wanted to rewatch. Right next to Robin Hood which I rarely got to rewatch because my sister found it "scary". So I only occasionally was able to watch it.
The classics really are amazing, especially that one sequence in Bambi, the "April Showers" bit. Imagine having to animate all those raindrops and then falling and rolling off the leaves. Truly a large amount of dedication went into it. Dumbo was another favorite of mine as a kid, always loved "Baby Mine". Tarzan was another one that stood out to me. I feel I love it because of the connection I feel with it and my dad. We had the music cd for all the songs, and he'd play it when he'd take us places. Of course, "I'll be in Your Heart" was one of his favorites and it was on more than one occasion repeated.
-
Well clearly you have great taste. :D And some great memories associated with them. I was a teen when F&H came out, and Disney was definitely uncool at that age, but I really wanted to go see it for some reason. And I absolutely loved it. Copper was kind of a dick but I adored Tod. The trivia section on IMDB has some neat tidbits too (like, Vixey's animation was by Tim Burton). Robin Hood never even crossed my radar until the '90s when I'd run across that dreaded fandom, and didn't bother seeing it for several more years 'cause I thought it'd be dumb. Once I finally did I could see the derivative elements but...somehow it worked. It grew on me with repeat viewings. What were the scary parts for your sister?
Yeah, despite the reputation Walt had, his company sure put out some beautiful work.
-
When it comes to the classics, mine is and always will be Sword in the Stone, for reasons previously stated in the Children thread.
As for favorite overall, The Incredibles of course.
-
The Incredibles is right up there, but I also have to consider many of the classics too. The Loin King is a modern classic.
-
I've actually never seen Sword in the Stone before :( Never seen Pete's Dragon either...
I think my favorites are a little odd choices. I like Atlantis: the Lost Empire, Fun and Fancy Free, and I remember loving Fox and the Hound. Lion King, Tarzan, and Mulan are up high on my list too :)
Speaking of Mulan, does anyone remember the sneeze gag joke that Mushu trolled Mulan with? It still makes me laugh XDD
-
Yes! I remember that gag XD
It still makes me laugh to this day. Mushu was such a troll.
-
Mushu was an all around fun character to listen to, let alone watch. Mulan was very, very different with her role as a female Disney character. She was a game changer. That sneeze gag made me wish she would have sneezed...seriously though, Mulan was a great movie :D
Another sneeze not many remember is Bambi himself when he was younger. Sadly, the sneeze happened in a movie that is a sequel...prequel...whatever you want to call Bambi II. Another sneeze that happened in a lesser-popular sequel happened with The Hunchback of Notre Dame. The voice actress of the main girl character sneezes and it's honestly a fun scene in general. The gargoyles reveal themselves with that scene because of politeness XD. It also is interesting that the voice actress is the same lady that is Ghost Whisperer...I can't remember her name exactly but she's a very pretty lady.
-
Watched "Inside Out" the other day by myself, alone, on the couch.
It was really good. I love the perspective. A rather cliche moving from your hometown to a new place story, but told from a totally unique perspective. The animation and visuals were nothing short of brilliant.
-
Does Avengers count?
-
Does Avengers count?
If you like it that much.
-
Technically, yes... and Star Wars. Just like Tom and Jerry, Droopy, and Scooby-Doo count as Warner Bros. properties, since they bought the whole H-B library a while back.
I was perfectly smitten with Pocahantas when it came out... and The Little Mermaid. They used such lovely models for the feamle leads. (The real Pocahantas was quite homely and flat as a board.)

Oh yeah I remember that joke from Mulan! XD There were not any sneezes in the movie but they did mention a sneeze related thing instead.
