What's the best Disney film?

[MeinKraft]

Recently got Disney + for the kids and I'm really enjoying watching films from my childhood, and new ones too. I watched The Lion King (1994 one) yesterday, loved it as a child but haven't seen it in years, and when Jeremy Irons is introduced as Scar and then they did Be Prepared I felt the hairs rising on my arms! I was glued to the entire thing and as much as I like other old Disney films (the Aristocats, the old Robin Hood, Lady and the Tramp) I nominate The Lion King for greatest ever.

I hadn’t watched a Disney film in decades but watched a few when I was in hospital with a poorly 14 month old DD a couple of weeks ago, a lovely play specialist brought in a tv & DVD player. DD absolutely loved Lady & the Tramp because she loves dogs, might have to invest in Disney+!

Brave
Robin Hood
Pinocchio
Inside out
Frozen

Oh forgot this one! Excellent film

Just remembered Coco I think it may actually be my favourite.

Both my DS’ loved Hercules and Emperors New Groove. Great music.

So glad I'm not the only one coming on to say parent trap!

Little mermaid (old and new), moana

NOT Inside Out! Painfully sad if you didn't have an ideal childhood

Moana for newer, love so many classics but if I had to choose probably Aladdin

I loved The Rescuers when I was a kid. Watched it a few months ago on Disney plus and was singing along like a loon

Christ too many to mention them all!

Robin Hood
Sword in the Stone
Bedknobs and Broomsticks
Little Mermaid
Zootropolis
Big Hero 6
Frozen 1&2
Moana
Encanto
Hercules
Lilo & Stitch

Special mention for Coco for the pure vibrance and richness of the film.

Also, if you enjoy Frozen and enjoy docuseries, the "Into the Unknown: making of Frozen 2" series is possibly one of the best bits of tv I've watched. It was so interesting and so emotional.

Other non fiction series mentions include:
One Day at Disney
Behind the Attraction
Magic of Disney's Animal Kingdom
The Imagineering Story

I love Coco. And Up

Coco!

But honorourable mentions for Hercules, Big Hero 6 and Aladdin.

The Little Mermaid for me. But Aladdin, Beauty and the Beast and Lion King are all fab too. I do prefer the cartoony old ones to the Pixar ones. I remember the first Toy Story being visually amazing but then it just became the norm and lacked the charm of the old ones imo.

I do think between Disney and Pixar they churn out so many films now that none of them are particularly memorable or special. Recent ish ones I've enjoyed are Bolt and Frozen.

Never made it past the first 10 minutes of Up 😭

Bambi still makes me cry! The dc love Big hero 6 and Encanto.

Beauty and the beast

Mary Poppins

Lion king 🦁

Very old: Bedknobs and Broomsticks, Mary Poppins and Sword in the stone
A bit old: Beauty and the Beast and The Lion King
Newer: Moana and Encanto

The Aristocrats, Lilo & Stitch, and Mulan (cartoon)

Coco
Big Hero Six
Zootropolis

Another vote for Beauty and the Beast - the musical score is stellar and in perfect balance with the story and the animation.

Mulan, The Jungle Book and The Aristocats, for cartoons.

The Incredible Journey for live action (although it makes me cry buckets).

You should watch:
Dopesick
Pistol
Welcome to Wrexham
Not your usual Disney cartoons though 😂

Coco, UP, Bambi, Lion King and Mary Poppins (in that specific order 🤣).

I really like Brave actually!
