Your Turn

Favorite Disney movie. OK, I guess you ca include Pixar movies too and anyone else who makes animated movies. If we include Pixar I think it is easier for me because I like most of their movies. Disney does actually make a lot of movies I like but they tend to be ones like Cool Runnings or The Rookie or some other sports movie. If I had to pick an animated movie I would say The Iron Giant. If we are looking for something newer, then probably Cars.

Hans down, The Jungle Book...absolutely brilliant film with incredible music...I've loved it since I was 4 years old!

Grey said...

The Fox and the Hound without a doubt

The Sword in the Stone is a close second

crila16 said...

Little Mermaid...my all time favorite.

hothotheat said...

Does Shrek count? If it does, Shrek - all of em. If not, Toy Story.

StewMcG said...

Favorite Disney - The Lion King and Bedknobs and Broomsticks

Favorite Pixar - Up

moondancekat said...

I really like most of them, but my faves are Monsters, Inc. followed closely by Despicable Me. Cute cute cute!

parissucksliterally said...

Aladdin and Robin Hood!!!

MontanaMarriott said...

Sleeping Beauty only because I LOOOOOVED Maleficent, she was my most favorite of the witches.

Skippy said...

I love Finding Nemo

BigMama said...

I like all animated movies. However, Robin Hood is my favorite. Has been since I was a kid. My husband and I "got together" because of that movie. Turns out it was his favorite as a kid as well. I was telling his sister how much I loved it as a kid and said "I know it's wierd but I know all the songs by heart." She looked at me and said "So does my brother". We were dating a few weeks later. LOL My first present to him was a copy of it on DVD. He was thrilled.

Jessi said...

First one I remember seeing was The Snowman when I was in kindergarten and I fell in love with it. I also love Fantasia!

Cathy said...

The Little Mermaid... I love Finding Nemo and Toy Story too, but I just don't think of those the same way as the truly animated ones.

RenoBlondee said...

The Little Mermaid and Beauty and The Beast.

Jesse D said...

"Little Mermaid". I do a wicked Ursula. Also, "Aladdin". I know every word to both of these movies. "I come from a land, from a far away place, where the caravan camels roam..."
Sorry.

Hmax17 said...

The Little Mermaid! I went on my first date to it, I was two years old! hehe

Robert said...

Pinocchio (I have a theory that most people asked to name a favorite movie will probably select one of the first 2 or 3 they ever saw -especially if they were fairly young (no older than 7) when they saw it. Does anyone else find that their choice fits that profile?)

RJ said...

My favorite Disney movies are actually the old, live-action stuff from the late 70s or early 80s that was aimed at tweens back before "tween" was a thing. They were a little more grown up than cartoons, but still pretty tame. I really liked "Watcher in the Woods". I was only nine when it came out. It was one of Disney's first PG rated movies. Betty Davis was in it and it was pretty damn scary (for a nine-year-old at least). I also liked the original "Escape to Witch Mountain". The dumbing-down of the recent remake says everything about have far tween entertainment has fallen in the last 30-odd years.

NaNa LaLa said...

I love them all! But, if I had to pick...

Dumbo and Beauty and the Beast for classic style animation.

Up for Pixar. Especially the first 10 minutes or so. :( What a beautiful love story.

B23 said...

The Incredibles and the "locked in the vault" Child of Glass which was based on Richard Peck's The Ghost Belonged to Me.

deree said...

Fantasia!

skeeball said...

The original Parent Trap with Haley Mills!

ljsmed said...

Tangled is great. Having a toddler I'm starting to watch all of them again and shockingly I think Tangled is my new favorite. Sleeping Beauty was my favorite growing up. Although, Cindarella, Aladdin, Beauty and the Beast, Little Mermaid, etc. are hard to beat.

hoosierlady said...

Cinderella

EmEyeKay said...

The Jungle Book and Toy Story.

raven said...

Bambi

Already have one said...

The Emperor's New Groove. That one kills me!

Jules_345 said...

I love Mulan, I like a heroine who doesnt need a man to save her ;)

Sue Ellen Mishkey said...

I just like to watch Disney movies for the dirty animation. Like at the end of Little Mermaid when they're on the boat and the priest pops a boner.

You what?

AKM said...

Oh man, CHILD OF GLASS! I forgot about that one! That one creeped me out SO much!

I love anything Hayley Mills did, especially SUMMER MAGIC, and BEAUTY AND THE BEAST. Belle's a bookworm, like me.

Anonymous said...

Old school: Follow me Boys. Fred MacMurry and a YOUNG Keith Russell.

New School: The Incredibles.... "Hoonnnney...where's my supa suit??!!"

Comma Chaser said...

Mary Poppins. Sure, it's a little dated now, but at the time a lot of the effects were pretty impressive.

Little Miss Smoke and Mirrors said...

Jungle Book.

But I've been watching a lot of the Princess movies with my little niece, and the music in Princess and the Frog is pretty darn catchy.

Tempestuous Grape said...

Lady & The Tramp (ooooooh miss laaaaady) was my favorite as a child. Then in my late teens it became The Little Mermaid. I can't tolerate cartoons anymore.

Cindy said...

@ConqueringKing -- wasn't that Kurt Russell?

I love Aladdin (Robin Williams was genius in that). I also love Cars though I NEVER EVER EVER EVER in the history of EVER watch NASCAR. (Oh look, another left turn....)

Live action will always be Thomasina

Sunshine13 said...

Definitely The Great Mouse Detective! And a close second is The Jungle Book.

Non-Disney would be Anastasia.

cheesegrater15 said...

The Little Mermaid and Cinderella. The end.

L said...

Shrek. My son watched it Every. Single. Day. when he was 3 and I was pregnant, and not only did it give me that much-needed break at the time, but we all still watch it now years later and it's still funny.

NernersHuman said...

The Aristocats and Beauty And The Beast.

Kim said...

Top three:

1) Escape From Witch Mountain-the original, not the travesty starring The Rock.

2) Lion King- 'nuff said.

3) My Pixar entry is a tie between Monsters Inc and Toy Story.

ms snarky said...

Definitely the original Parent Trap, and a great movie called The Journey of Natty Gann. Animated? Beauty and the Beast, and old school Mickey Mouse shorts.

Merlin D. Bear said...

The first movie I ever saw was Bambi. And no, it's not my favorite.
My sister's favorite is a tie between "Lady & the Tramp" and "Beauty and the Beast" ... while I love both of them, my personal favorites are a tie between "Sleeping Beauty" and "Snow White" for animation, while for a mix of live action and animation, hands down, "Bedknobs & Broomsticks".
Traguna meycodes tragorum satis dee anyone?

Nichole Fisher said...

Sleeping Beauty - love everything about it, the music, the storyboard, and Maleficent is probably the most elegant, graceful villain ever.

Nichole Fisher said...

@Merlin - Substitutiary Locomotion come to me! One of Disney's best songs.

B626 said...

Oliver & Company From the early 90s. Cheech Marin and Better Midler were the best unromantic couple. Incredibles was great too. So ready for a sequel!

tinkerbell33 said...

Lady and the tramp <3

ericaomega said...

Um, I loved the Neverending Story and cinderella

crichmond1000 said...

Spirited Away... Beautiful animation and music. Awesome story. Lots of weirdness, too. I like most of Hayao Miyazaki's movies.

seaward said...

Robin Hood!!! I always wanted to bang the shit out of him, it was probably the voice that did it for me. Man I was a sex-crazed kid.

selenakyle said...

Galaxy Quest for live-action (DreamWorks being Disney-related, right?).

I'll have to think on my animated favorite, but the Aristocats would be a near-top choice.

Probably Sleeping Beauty because I love Maleficent and I've always wanted a raven of my own who could sit on my shoulder, too.

Sherry R. said...

Beauty and the Beast with the irresistible Robert Goulet.

BigMama said...

@Tink - it seems wrong somehow for you not to say Peter Pan....which I love haha

The little girls and I will stomp around the house singing the "follow the leader" song. They love it

captivagrl said...

The Lion King

EmEyeKay said...

@Kim - Loved your hair in Tuff Turf, darling!

Jesse D said...

Oh! For live action, way back in the 80's there was a movie called "Mr. Boogedy". Delightfully creepy little flick made by Disney. Anyone remember it?

jax said...

Candleshoe!

AndrewBW said...

Just a couple weeks ago I saw "The Three Lives of Thomasina the Cat" with Patrick McGoohan, Susan Hampshire, Karen Dotrice, and Matthew Garber (the kids from Mary Poppins). And Wilfred Brambell in a small role. I haven't seen it in forty years and I bawled my head off - it was as great as I remembered. I also relaly liked "The Scarecrow of Romney Marsh," also with Patrick McGoohan.

As far as more recent movies, I'll go with "The Incredibles."

ms snarky said...

ooh!!! I also liked the live action "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow" from 1980, starring *drum roll*********
Jeff Goldblum!!!!

AKM said...

I remember the Sleepy Hollow-Jeff Goldblum TV movie, but that's not Disney, is it? (I know, I know. I'm a stickler for detail.)

Sadie said...

Growing up, Lady & the Tramp. When my kids were little, The Lion King, now? Um . . .

makeupbynumbers said...

Easy, Sleeping Beauty.

allthesun said...

Classic Alice in Wonderland hands down. Watched a hundred times as a kiddo had the sing along book and tape. Still know the songs!

As a kid - Cinderella. Then I grew up and realized what a doormat she was. Tangled renewed my hope, though. I just loved Rapunzel's quirky character and how the story ended. But what's up with there being no Rapunzel dolls with (spoiler alert) short hair? That negates the message of the movie!

Frufra said...

Three posts? Sorry - will try to fix from my @#$/@* phone!

The Mum loved Summer Magic, so I've seen it numerous times and sang along with the songs. I think Burl Ives sang a song called Ugly Bug Ball? It's the important things I remember from a very young age. Like Burl Ives.

I loved Haley Mills in the Parent Trap, but I think I liked Lindsay's version more.

I thought Monsters, Inc., had a beautiful storyline. John Goodman and Billy Crystal did a good job.

I have young ones discovering The Lady and the Tramp for the first time and the story has really held up well.

Jessie said...

Beauty and the Beast is my absolute favourite. I think I was 3 when I saw it and I've loved it since. And I cried like an idiot when I went to see Phantom of the Opera when I was older because it was like Beauty not ending up with the beast. (Also saw PotO when I was 5 but I fell asleep during the second act.)

Aladdin and The Lion King are close behind. All the ones from when I was little plus

- Sleeping Beauty
- Cinderella
- Pinnochio
- The Little Mermaid
- Bambi


And DUH Toy Story because it's awesome and also Jessie is in it. Ha.

Glitter said...

The Ugly Dachshund and That Darn Cat!!!

bekH said...

The Little Mermaid - My Dad and Uncle to me and my 3 other girls to see it in the theater and took totally took us to a bar in the mall before it started. They sat us at the table style video games and they sat at the bar.

ardleighstreet said...

The Jungle Book --Love the music
Monster's Inc. _-- Took my niece to this

Sleeping Beauty

feraltart said...

Fantasia and the Little Mermaid. I own the sound track to The Little Mermaid.

The Flower Girl said...

the lion king....monsters inc

SKT said...

ALLADIN!!

Poisonfawn said...

well, ive always like cinderella, (despite disney being an evil, pedophile corporation who made mk'd personas britney spears, christina aguilera, ryan gosling etc), since i was little, i used to watch cinderella and sometimes i would like to still have a sleepover party and watch cinderella and drink tea and some rose flavored martinis and watch that movie again, along with bambi and dumbo! oh, and sleeping beauty! i always find myself watching those clips on youtube when i get drunk and im hanging out on the internet ha!

Lelaina Pierce said...

Oliver & Company! I wore that movie/soundtrack out.

I saw The Lion King 3 times in the theater.

As far as the newer ones go, I thought Monsters Inc. was the best/most creative.

Mango said...

The original Parent Trap. My sister and I LOVED that movie.

Krips said...

Definitely The Aristocats!

Tiliaxeuropea said...

The Lion King and Beauty and the Beast

Yuffie said...

The Lion King, for always and forever! I saw it in theatres 5 times...actually 6 now that it was rereleased in 3D, but I mean as a kid. I kicked my nail niting habit so I could see it when it was released the second time when I was a kid.

mooshki said...

I can't believe no one said WALL·E!!!

MaryMQC said...

Hmmmm. I'd say my favorite animated film of all time is either Up or Meet The Robinsons. I kind of hate saying that, because it makes me look like I don't appreciate classic hand drawn animation. I DO. But if you've never seen Meet The Robinsons, do it. Hell of a movie. Goob will break your heart.

MaryMQC said...

Oops. I was supposed to do Disney. Lol. I really do love the good hand drawn ones. I'd say Sleeping Beauty, but I adored The Princess and the Frog recently, too. Like a LOT. It was so good.
