Favorite Disney Cartoon

[sinclairtyler]

I saw a commercial for the re-release of the robin hood dvd the other day. I loved this movie when I was younger and it is definitely my all time favorite disney cartoon.

What Disney cartoon did you guys like the best? I'm talking pre 3d computer stuff.

[bird603568]

lilo and stitch was pretty good only because it was over the top

[satansmagichat]

I'm totally with you. I loved Robin Hood. My favorite, though, was the Sword in the Stone. Don't know why, cuz it doesnt really hold up today.

Also, I know I'll get shit for this, but Sleeping Beauty. Just look at that movie. It is some of the prettiest hand drawn animation I've seen. It was also released in a 2.21:1 ratio, unlike most other disney cartoons.

[atomusk]

i like alot of them, Robin Hood was awesome, but so was the Sword in the Stone

[klitzy]

Donald Duck...He was hilarious

[slowmtnsilhouette]

the little mermaid, snow white & sword in the stone were my top three faves...

[satori]

FANTASIA

It's an absolute work of art.

[viscountradu]

it's all about Alice In Wonderland

[tokenuser]

FANTASIA

It's an absolute work of art.Agreed ... and if you ever get a chance to see the Fantasmic light/water show at Disneyland, it adds another dimension.

[spazkake]

Robinhood, and many will hate me for this but I really love Junglebook, racism aside it was a part of my childhood, a time where "walk like you, talk like you" didn't seem absurd. (Robinhood is still probably my number 1, I was CRAZY for that as a kid).

[bcool]

I can't choose between aladdin, fantasia and alice and wonderland.

emporers new groove was pretty great too.

[kramertron]

I'm totally with you. I loved Robin Hood. My favorite, though, was the Sword in the Stone. Don't know why, cuz it doesnt really hold up today.

I disagree, Sword in the Stone still holds up, and is by far my favorite Disney movie. I'm a big fan of cartoons that deal with humans, and I've always loved Camelot and Merlin mythos, so this one was an easy favorite as a kid and I still watch it from time to time.

[satori]

sorry guys, but the movies that people are talking about are like chalk drawings compared to the Mona Lisa that is Fantasia

[ariastar]

I have Robin Hood on DVD already. Is it currently not sold?

Actually, I have ever Disney cartoon released on DVD to date, and even had Little Mermaid a few years ago from its initial release in the 90's....

Beauty and the Beast. #1

[djhyjak]

Even tho i tend to hate the house that Walt built, there are a few from them i can enjoy. FANTASIA, Aladdin, and the Gargoyles series. but the rest is well made crap to me

You have no idea how hard it is to be an animator that doesn't like Disney.

Tarzan 2 starring Ron Pearlman as a voice of a big ape!

By it doesnt hold up, I really meant to say it's just too damned short. It seems to end way too quickly. Which can also be considered a good thing, maybe?

Jungle Book's racist?

[poltah]

Wtf, how come noone has mentioned Lion King?

My top three are Lion King, Alladin and a lot will probably disagree with this one, but Mulan.

I saw Mulan at some Mulan event thing, there was this amazing Chinese show beforehand, and the movie is great too.

you're so young

[iggystar]

Lion King (story and music), Beauty and the Beast (story and music), Fantasia (art).

My sentimental favorite is "The Little Mermaid," However, I think that "The Loin King" is the best example of this Genre.

[gm_wil]

I think Tarzan was one of the best as far as animation goes...I am still amazed when I watch it...Lion King was awesome too, but I was impressed with the mixture of hand animation and computer stuff in Tarzan...

I'd have to say Robin Hood is my all time favorite...

[alterego]

The LOIN King, eh...

[divadawg9234]

here is the order of my favourites :)
1) Sleeping Beauty
2) Alice in Wonderland
3) The Lion King
4) The Little Mermaid
5) Beauty and the Beast
6) Snow White
7) The Lion King
8) Aladdin
9) The Fox and the Hound

But I love them all :) (well all of the The Lion King and earlier... anything after TLK is pretty much crap)

[masherscf]

The LOIN King, eh...

Damn, the was a bit of a Freudian slip. I guess spell check doesn't catch them all. "The Loin King" sounds like either a bad porno or a place that sells steaks.

[bullgator2255]

My favorite hasn't been mentioned yet, and its actually a milestone film in animation: The Great Mouse Detective. This was the first feature-length animated film to use computer animation. Robin Hood and Beauty and the Beast round out my top 3.

Ooooh, that's a good one... good call!

[matteekay]

Lilo and Stitch, as evidenced by my signature. It was just SO different from the other Disneys... plus, Lilo is one of the best developed Disney characters ever. "Tuesdays and bank holidays would be nice..."

[abacusand13south]

I cant think of one that I didnt like but my favorite is probably the Sword in the Stone.

i absolutely loved lilo and stitch... lilo is an almost perfect example of my best friend, minus the hawaiian heritage.

no seriously, Dumbo. it's the only one I own and can watch repeatedly.

I agree with you this is by far my favorite Disney Cartoon. I even own a copy of it.

Following a close second is Motor Mania, with Goofy as Mr. Walker and Mr. Wheeler. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fcMNhRtWDzU

If your only talking Disney Movies. Here are my top 3

1. Alice in Wonderland
2. Sword in the Stone
3. Song of the South (I have been fortunate enough to see it)

[vegasgeek]

Fox and The Hound....really awesome stuff. But the no. 1 pick for me is Lion King.

[losojosdemuerte]

1. Fantasia
2. Beauty and the Beast
3. Lion King

Those are my choices.

I have to try and watch Dumbo again. Have to see what Bravestar talking about.

[sinclairtyler]

ok is it just me our does anyone else have memories of fantasia being the most boring/confusing movie they every watched as a child? I have never really watched it since I was young and judging by how many ppl liked it I'm gona assume I was just to young to appreciate it.

It is an art film. Very little story in any segments, none to tie them all together. Music in motion.

Dude totally...I was always like "What...The ****"...All these brooms everywhere and shit...It was like mickey on ****ing crack.

[paulsaves]

I'm probably the only one, but I liked Hercules, and even the Disney Channel cartoon Hercules in High School. That's not even the name, but I can't remember it now.

[sinclairtyler]

Dude totally...I was always like "What...The ****"...All these brooms everywhere and shit...It was like mickey on ****ing crack.

The broom part was the only part that made any sense to me when i was a kid and it always made me angry that mickey screwed up so bad, why did he have to be such a lazy ****er

[thefast]

The Nightmare Before Christmas. And if that doesn't count, then we'll go with Lion King since that's what I liked as a little kid.

[big-doze]

The musicals are beautiful, but for me the ultimate triumph was The Emperor's New Groove. It was, in every way, a throwback to the classic genius of the old school Loony Toons, Merry Melodies and Silly Symphonies shorts of yesteryear, with jokes that were actually hilarious, without treating kids like they're retarded (have you SEEN saturday morning cartoons recently?)

Tarzan and Aladdin round out the top 3, but I can't believe my #4 hasn't even been mentioned: The Black Cauldron! Blood in a Disney movie!! Unheard of today!!!

And yes, when I was a kid, Fantasia was the dullest sh*t ever.

holy shit, I used to watch that all the time. I always loved the part where he was playing pool...

I'm not 100% sure it was disney but there was this three little pigs war propaganda short that had the wolf as hitler that I thought was amazing when I saw it in a class. Sometimes seeing a movie in a class room skews the boredom scale though, so i dunno.

Yes! another emporers new groove person. I dunnno why no one seems to like that one.

Yo, did you ever see that one propaganda short with Donald and Uncle Scrooge debating what to do with Donald's paycheck?? A Hitler wolf was trying to get Donald to have fun with the money, but the wise Scrooge convinced him to invest in war bonds. Touching.

ya it was definitely made by disney as part of the war bonds campaign. I saw it in a class last year along with a few others. The best one they made was an over view of the life of one of the Hitler youth. It might have been called mein kampf i'm not sure though. It was very dark and not typical disney. I will see if I can find it and post the link.



Edit: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pv25qHwvOLM it's called education for death

Dude, that was awesome. I never laughed so hard at Germany being a giant fat chick and Hitler being a goofy little ****ot.

I remember watching Kubrik's 2001 and having no idea what just happened when I was about 8. Some stories are simply too much for us when we're younger.

Have a read of this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fantasia_%28film%29
It should be noted that all the shorts do have clear stories. Except for the mushroom dance. The Sorcerer's apprentice is just the most clear one is all. My favorite is the Night On Bald Mountain. It's the perfect Halloween piece, and probably scared your pants off depending on how young you were when you watched it.
