I was a little kid all through the 80s, and I specifically remember not liking Disney movies at all until Little Mermaid came out and all of the movies that followed it.

I'm assuming we're just talking regular cartoon movies, and not CGI movies or live action movies, otherwise mine would be all Pirates of the Caribbean movies and Pixar films.

1. Aladdin. No contest.
2. Hercules. Really, James Woods makes this movie.
3. Hmmmm...its either Lion King or Little Mermaid. Too close to call.

That movie was great. I had the book of it as well. That little bunny was a well written character made me cry and laugh.

My childhood -
Million Dollar Duck

Cat From Outer Space

The Original Parent Trap

Does anyone know where to find episodes of Mask?

Add in the Rescuers, and you have my list. Such great movies.

Oh, does Pete's Dragon count? I think it does.

In that case, my list would be:

1) Pete's Dragon/The Sword in the Stone
2) Robin Hood
3) The Great Mouse Detective/The Rescuers

I remember all the Disney films I watched when I was a wee (er) lad. They were all awesome!

1. Aladdin - The first film I saw in the cinema, ****ing loved it, and I still do!

2. Peter Pan - I think I watched this every day. Even made myself a little cardboard hook and sword so I could play Peter Pan with my friends, :p.

3. The Great Mouse Detective - I would have forgotten all about this if Kahley hadn't posted it, but now that I think about it, I watched this one all the time too.

Runners up are obviously Robin Hood, Sword in the Stone, and Hercules... Lion King was up there, but I never cared for The Little Mermaid. Maybe it was a girls thing?

Oh, and did someone seriously have Mulan and Tarzan on their list? Whuh? O_O

My Top three as follows.

Lilo & Stitch
Aladdin
Emperors New Groove.

But pretty much all but Mulan, Treasure planet and Hercules cartoons are the modern ones I like the least. The rest are pure classics. I dunno where to put home on the range. It was supposed to be the swansong for Disney 2d, and it wasn't great, but watching it it seems the animators put it all in a sinking ship that was made even worse with a hopeless story.

Not a fan of classic Disney Features though. All but Jungle Book I find Boring. The Mickey Mouse shorts from the 30s are awesome!!

Fave Disney Movie I worked On :) 3 Musketeers. I worked on 6 Straight to DVD Disney films, and all were rubbish, but one. Lilo and Stitch 2: Stitch has a glitch was really dissapointing. 3 Musketeers was awesome though. Worth a rent for animation fans as a lot of animators from features worked on it due to not being much work elsewhere. I also got to work on some cool scenes too 8)

I can't really decide on favorites but I do know that I absolutely despise The Hunchback of Notre Dame, it's the only movie I fell asleep in as a kid. Haven't watched it again. Ok, I thought of some favorites; The Lion King, Aladdin, Hercules, The Rescuers and one no one has mentioned yet 101 Dalmatians.

I found the Hunchback of Notre Dame absolutely terrifying when I was a kid. With the fire and the cathedral and the angry hunchback and all... I also thought Esmeralda was too slutty.

Fantasia wins 1st, 2nd, and 3rd.I'd agree, probably. I saw it at Disney Land one year where they project it onto water and have fireworks and a light show go on. It was incredible O.O

Whoa! I thought I was the only one to have Lilo & Stitch as one of my fav disney movies. Good stuff

That movie got me from when Lilo punched the other girl in the face. Then I fell in love with the fact the story was beatiful, but it wasn't recycled Disney affair at all. Even the character designs were really faithfull to the original Chris Sanders drawings. I saw it 6 times in the cinemas, I was so obsessed at the time. The follow ups were rubbish, except for pleakley's cross dressing habbits. I thought that was hilarious. :)

As for Beauty and the Beast. The acting in Gaston is probably the best you'll ever find in any animation. Unfortunately most people don't know what to look for in animation and it never gets brought up.

He's probably my favorite Disney Character of all time.

I much preferred the live-action movies when I was a kid, although now I prefer the animated (esp. Pixar). Something Wicked scared the hell outta me, too. When Jonathan Pryce makes Jason Robards' hand split open... DAMN! But don't forget Darby O'Gill and the Little People starring a young Sean Connery!

Of course, my childhood Disney-watching was skewed due to a free Disney Channel weekend on cable we recorded what would fit on one tape (were tapes that expensive back then?). So we watched Pollyanna, Bedknobs and Broomsticks, and Robin Hood over and over and over. And this was in the days when Disney was a premium channel with no ads; there's just the 1-800 number to order the channel... Ah, memories.

1. Aladdin. No contest. Genie is awesome.

2. Hercules. The charecters that made this movie for me were those little demons that hung out with Hades all the time. This movie is great because of their ridiculous shenanigans.

3. Finding Nemo. Relatively new, but still really great.

I so wanted to make coconut bombs and hide up a hill and throw them down on people. Living in a treehouse didn't look bad either.

My family did the exact same thing and I watched those tapes so much they broke. I used to know when the 1-800 number was about to come up by heart.
Plus don't forget about the Blonde woman with the bright yellow jacket telling you how much fun it is to have the Disney channel, so you should order it and get in on the "Magic of the Disney Channel!"

I used to wait patiently for those free weekends; watching ryan gosling on the Mickey Mouse Club, watching a bunch of forgettable shows, and watching darkwing duck reruns.

The shows were the worst part, I used to hate having to fast foward through Dumbo's Circus and Win, Lose or Draw just to see Flight of the Navigator or Robin Hood.

And don't forget DTV. I thought that the selection of Lady and the Tramp clips was the actual "Don't Go Breakin' My Heart" video!

Although I have a lot of issues with Disney... and most of them stem from Michael Eisner's direction with the company... but I still grew up with the Disney Channel (pre-awfulness) and seeing all the Disney shorts (OLD SCHOOL Chip & Dale cartoons FTW... turn on the subtitles sometimes b/c they say some f'ed up shit that makes no sense).

I break it DOWN into 2 categories:

Old Disney:
1. Sleeping Beauty
2. Sword in the Stone
3. Alice in Wonderland
(& mention to Winnie the Pooh, for which I learned how to work the VCR when I was 18 months so I could watch it daily non-stop).

New Disney (sans Pixar)
1. Little Mermaid
2. Aladdin
3. Lilo & Stitch

Old School Live Action:
1. Bed Knobs and Broomsticks
2. Mary Poppins
3. Darby O'Gill and the Little People
(honorable mention: the Gnome Mobile)

Dumbo
Aladdin
Fantasia: (Xander: Okay, and on that happy note, I've got a treat for tomorrow night's second annual Halloween screening. People, prepare to have your spines tingled, your gooses bumped by the terrifying (Pulls out a video and reads the title) Fantasia. Fantasia?
Oz: Maybe it's because of all the horrific things we've seen, but hippos wearing tutus just don't unnerve me the way they used to.)

Other favs.
The Fox and the Hound
Pinocchio (this showed me that drink is wrong...i didnt start drinking till i was 22 hahah)
Oliver and company
