Due to the popularity of Frozen this past year, Disney films have reached a new high. Over the course of their long career, Disney has had some flops, and some all-time highs. And, of course, some in between.

 

Here, we will talk about all sorts of Disney features--live action versus animated, old versus new, favorites versus least-favorites, full-length features versus episodic features, etc.

 

First, let's talk about FAVORITES. What's your favorite Disney movie?

Of the old ones, it´s definitely The Lion King. It´s tougher to choose from the Pixar movies. I love Finding Nemo, Monsters Inc, Wall-E and Brave. I actually thought Brave was better than Frozen.

I thought a lot of things were better than Frozen. :P

 

Wall-E is definitely one of my all-time favorites. I also really like Tangled. I was obsessed with Lion King when it came out, but not too fond of it now. Beauty and the Beast is another really good one. Finding Nemo was decent. And I loved Monsters University much more than Monsters Inc.

Hercules was really good! Aladdin was too. I really didn't care for Brave. And I watched it twice just to make sure.

 

I love the songs in Mulan. Those are among the best, I think.

Aladdin, just for Robin Williams :laugh:  The songs stuck in my head pretty well, too.

 

And the Lion King made me cry, so that's up there.

 

I just got to see Tangled and Frozen very recently, and I did like them both, although I've only seen them once each, so I'm not sure I can judge if they'll be ones I'd watch over and over.

My all time favourite is Sleeping Beauty - the fairy godmothers, the evil queen transforming into a dragon, the music, the storybook style at the beginning - love it!

 

When I was at 'peak' Disney age a lot of the classics were coming out for the first time on VHS *feels old* so I had quite a collection of the older ones from before I was born.

 

Next to that I think is The Little Mermaid - Ursula was such a great villian!

 

And Enchanted ( does that count as live action or animated lol?) - but heavily influenced cos it reminds me of Sleeping Beauty

i lik lot of the old ones, like dumbo, peter pann, that one old winnie the pooh movie, alice in wondrland, and stuff like that:

 

here som of my favuorite parts:

 

 

 

me and siblings hav some thinng wher sometimes we pick out who in a film we "are", hard to explin but makes it lot more funny whenn watchin together, and for this scene we deciided that our sister is alice, becuse only remotelly rational one there, one of brothres was march hare because sems to try to be mattr-of-fact like but still crazy, i was mad hatterr because silly and crazy, and we deciided our youngest brothre was the one druged up mouse becuse hes of course littlest and hes somewhat laid=back.  hard to explain but made watchin this so funny that we all died laughing lol, couldnt breathe.

What I think is great with Brave is that a mother is one of the main characters, and in a very special way too. Mothers are always in the background, if they even excist. Unless they are stepmothers, of course. It was a bit different. I also love Merida.

One of the things I love so much about Brave, is that there is no prince involved. It isn't about Merida findng herself a prince and becoming queen. It's about family love, wich is quite unique in a Disney princess film. And also Merida is badass (that hair :wub: )

Yeah there was great music in that one. To me it was worse than most find a prince ones cause it was find a prince reject everything you are change yourself abandon your family and your own life path and your voice and on and on for this guy you saw on a rock.

 

I'm singing the soundtrack right now tho.

I have a problem with the Hunchback of Notre Dame lol.  My friends were talking about this.  You do everything for a girl, save her, have her change your life and everything that you do from now on, and you get friendzoned. :P

 

And in the end, the good looking guy gets the girl.

i had problemm with hunchback of notre dame becuse it didnt follow the book which was masterpiece and prety realistic in termms of human relationship. the deformd guy falls in love withh someone he can nevre have and dos everything he can to help her but in end helps cause her death by accident and then decides to starve himself to death because of it, the girl fals in love with a d-bag narcisist who only cared abuot her looks and onlly wanted to have sex with her and whom she is ultimatley executed over, betweenn that and the crazy stalker priest who decides would rather hav her dead than not his so manipulates laws and evrything against her. lol think only much relevant person who lives in book is phoebus, the narcistic womaniser. but guess it couldnt have been disney film if they had put all of it in there.

When I first watched Meet the Robinsons, I hated it. I'm a time-travel snob, and if it doesn't logically make sense, I don't like it. However, I recently re-watched it, and it has some very cute moments.

 

I haven't seen Cars, or any of the spinoffs, simply because I don't like the idea of Larry the Cableguy. :P But, I'm going to watch that one soon because I do like Owen Wilson. *lol*

 

I've never liked Snow White. The storyline isn't appealing, and I don't like the dwarves.

 

It seems the older ones--in my opinion--just don't hold my interest as an adult. They are too old fashioned. Pinocchio, for example, or Dumbo, are ones I'd flat out refuse to watch again.
