I knew that this topic would come about one day if not soon. :D
So, I decided to do a poll. Please note that it's only single choice, which disney movie is most popular. Sadly since the maxium answers is only fifteen, I couldn't put all the disney classics up on there. That is why there is an 'Other' option too. If your favourite movie isn't up on the list, please click on 'Other' and then say your favourite movie in bold.
I also didn't include sequels, if you only like one of the sequels then also click 'Other'.
As to everything else, have fun. After all, this will be interesting to see what is everyone's favourite disney movie. Mine is (of course) obvious.
The Lion King :D
-
I've watched nearly all the Disney films. Snow White was the first, so it holds a special place in my esteem. The Lion King in my estimation was the last truly great Disney Film. those are the bookmarks for me.. So I'll go with Snow White..
-
I guess the lion king wins for me too.
But the rest is really good as well!
-
Maybe Great Mouse Dtective, Lilo & Stitch, and Fillmore!.
-
Of course Mumbling. :D
Oh yes Chomper, The Great Mouse Detective was great too. As for Filmore, it was a great disney television show which was cancelled. Although here, on this Toonjuice program, they show every day at 2'o'clock.
-
Bolt and One Hundred and One Dalmatians.
-
I haven't seen bolt , although 101 Dalmations was good. Pity they made a sequel to it..like they did with most of the goodc Disney films, the sequel just took away from the original..
-
I didn't include Bolt or any of the 'newer' disney movies or Pixar movies. Since Bolt is Disney Pixar. I should have used the title as 'disney classics'.
As far as sequels go, I'm afraid I don't think much of them. Most of them have plot holes (the Lion King 2 for example) and are just so confusing, with poor characterisations.
I'm so grateful that they haven't made sequels out of: Dumbo, Snow white and the seven dwarves, Robin Hood or Pinocchio.
-
Bolt isn't Pixar. It's just Disney. The last Pixar movie they made was Wall-E. There's another one coming soon, but I don't remember it's name...
I really can't pick a favorite Disney movie, personally. I love a lot of them, so I don't really have a #1. So, I'll say other.
-
Mulan, because is a sea of animated features with far too many "girl power" moments, Mulan the most understandable motive to become a kickass action girl. If her father stepped out that door to go to war in his condition, he was not coming back.
-
Definitely Sleeping Beauty. Maleficent is so evil and scary xD
-
While I love nearly all the Disney animated films, Lion King has to be my #1 favorite. A perfect blend of storytelling from all angles. Drama, comedy, tragedy, and the right music to fit. I've seen all the movies from Snow White onwards. Going to a Disney movie was a big after-school treat (We got to go Downtown -- on the bus -- a big thrill for us :lol:).
One Disney movie I didn't see on the list. Fantasia, my #2 favorite. The 1940's original though Fantasia 2000 has its merits, too. Visual music...Who knew it would be big.
:lol
-
Mulan, because is a sea of animated features with far too many "girl power" moments, Mulan the most understandable motive to become a kickass action girl. If her father stepped out that door to go to war in his condition, he was not coming back.
That's my number 2 at the moment :yes
-
Well, as I previously mentioned before hand the maxium options only goes up to fifteen so there are some really great disney classics that are not on there. So I apologise for that.
I also didn't think Bolt was disney. So I also apologise. Personally, since I haven't seen Bolt I can't really judge. However, most of the recent disney films have lacked a certain magical quality that the older classics have.
-
It's an almost direct toss-up between Bambi and The Lion King. If I really had to choose though, Bambi would certainly win. The Lion King was a GREAT movie (Don't know about the second and whatever else came after the first one), but Bambi was just so heart filled and direct. I don't think any movie (Disney or not) could ever beat it.
-
i remember getting up early to watch darkwing duck, duck tales, and the old disney cartoons on saturday. those were great, but my favorite disney movie is robin hood, animated wise, next favorite potc
-
Walt Disney's favourite movie was Bambi.
I understand what you mean LBTL because, I feel that way with the Lion King. Bambi was a beautiful film, it was one of my childhood favourites along with Beauty and the Beast, Robin Hood and Dumbo.
-
I voted for Aladin because there are so many likeable characters from it and it blend humor and action rather well. The Genie was funny and so was Jafar and Iago.
-
Too hard to choose....favorite Disney movie of all time doesn't give a lot of wiggle room. :p I'm going to stick it Bambi as one of my favorites. A lot is said and done without words and without jokes.
-
All were Awesome. But I always like Dumbo the most.
-
Interesting fact, the only person still alive from Pinoochio is the kid who played Pinoochio
-
That is interesting and sad too, that the only voice actor alive is the child who played Pinocchio.
-
Yeah he's in his 80s. But the movie was made 70 years ago, to be still alive now, you'd have had to be young when you made it. Everyone knows who Jiminy Cricket and Pinocchio are, but can you name the actors who voiced them?
-
Beauty and the Beast. The pacing is amazing, which I find doesn't often happen in Disney films. Also it's so gorgeous, a lot of times I'll watch it just to stare at the backgrounds. And the way the Beast was animated was simply spectacular.
-
beauty and the Beast is the only animated Disny film ever nominated for best Picture. It didn't win, and with the seperate animated film catergory which was created about 10 years ago, it is unlikely an animated film will ever win Best Picture, or even be nominated for it again.
-
I have seen and love all these films, but my favorite Disney film of all time is "Beauty and the Beast". The storyline is original, the songs are not corny, and Belle's character is a spitting image of mine. We're both adventurous, blind to differences, patient, independent, plain in appearance, working class, readers, compassionate and animal lovers :). Oh, and I always feel a little crush for Beast in human form come on whenever I watch the film. It's those sky-blue eyes that get me every time :lol.
-
Yeah he's in his 80s. But the movie was made 70 years ago, to be still alive now, you'd have had to be young when you made it. Everyone knows who Jiminy Cricket and Pinocchio are, but can you name the actors who voiced them?
His forname is Dickie, but I'm afraid I do not know his surname.
-
Dickie Jones is his name, he was born in 1927, he was 13 when he did the voice of Pinocchio- which roughly translates to "pine eye" in Italian
-
Knew it was Dickie, just didn't know that his surname was 'Jones'. Thank you Nick.
-
I've actually read the story of Pinocchio. it was written in 1883, and the Pinocchio in the story is a spoiled brat who is really naive. eventually he does "make good" but only after many trails and detours..
-
Too many are too good. I seriously can't choose. :D
-
I think, my Grandad did read me the story of pinoccio when I was younger....
-
There are just to many to name how about I give you a top 10 list?
1. Fox and the Hound
2. Oliver and Company
3. Pinnochio
4. Lion King
5. Bolt
6. Aladdin
7. Angels in the Outfield
8. The Aristo cats
9. 101 Dalmatians
10. The Rescuers
I love too many disney movies but I guess I'll choose Oliver and Company so OTHER.
-
Of those only Angels in the Outfield was live action..
-
I'm don't really like disney movies like I do LBT...if I had to pick one, "Bambi" might be it cause I love the gorgeous scenery of the film---I think I might have seen the 1st half of it once when I was like 4, and the one part I do remember is it starting out with a moving shot through a forest.
By the way, I found a written synopsis of it on IMDB...
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0034492/synopsis (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0034492/synopsis)
I think the original LBT deserves a synopsis on IMDB too. :idea
Also, although it's not on the list, Fantasia is really cool; I haven't seen it in years---I saw it when I was 8 on January 19, 2003---but I remember thinking the part with the dinosaurs set to "The Rite of Spring" was a lot like the original LBT! ;)
And do I even have to mention that my three #1 disney characters---Shenzi, Banzai, and Ed---alone make "The Lion King" worth voting for? ;)
-
I've finally decided..."The Lion King" is my favorite.
I really love Mufasa, Simba, Zazu, and of course, the hyena 3! :smile
Plus, it gave us the fantastic "Timon and Pumba" show! :smile
-
This is a very difficult poll. :smile
There is something that I admire in almost all of the Disney movies, whether it be story, animation quality, music, or characters. My top favorites include:
The Rescuers
Fantasia
The Little Mermaid
But I suppose, if I take into account the sequels and extended universes of all of these films, and compile all of the qualities I mentioned above that I admire in them (how scientific :lol ) then my all time favorite Disney movie would be . . .
The Lion King. There is something about this movie that is just special to me. And a lot of it has to do with the sequel. I know that Simba's Pride has it's flaws, and doesn't really live up to the original, but I like the way it seems to try anyway. It is probably the darkest DTV sequel Disney has done as well. :blink: And it also introduced more lions, which are my favorite characters. :angel
-
Atlantis the Lost Empire and Treasure Planet aren't on the list. Oh well, I'm putting them down anyway.
-
Yeah I liked Treasure Planet as well. I saw it in theaters and I was not unhappy with the movie. Jimmy was a good character. He was the outcast and I always look up to the outcast characters. I gave it a 8/10 even tho I heard people say it was awful but I disagreed with them. It was a wonderful movie.
-
I'd go for The Jungle Book because I remember watching it so many times as a kid, and because it has Kaa, one of my favourite animated characters ever.
The Emporer's New Groove would be a close second though, that film's hilarious.
-
For the live action movies I liked The Watcher In The Woods. It was a dark and kinda scary movie they made
-
I don't count the sequels, frankly, for me, with perhaps the one exception of rescuers down under. that one went to theaters, at least. for me, the last truly great film was the lion king. and while there have been good disney films since then, they haven't reached that very high level of excellence the early 90s films did.
-
Hard for me to pick my favorite one. I have liked the Disney movies I've seen that are on the list, some more then others.
-
I would have to say the Lion King. In my opinion, this film was the most emotionally engaging and had the best narrative of all the options that were listed.
-
1. FrankenWeenie
2. The Nightmare Before Christmas
3. WALL-E
-
Bambi is by far my favourite, and Lion King would be certain for second place. Also worth noting is that Bambi and Lion King are IMO the only two Disney films with direct-to-video sequels that actually live up to the originals, even if they are noticably lower quality.
-
Lion King would be my favorite, with Treasure Planet, Atlantis the Lost Empire, and Lilo and Stitch as runner-ups.
-
Lilo & Stitch. No contest.
