I just think Mulan is iconic. Currently watching the new one

It's up there.
The cartoon version, not the live action.
But little mermaid is a classic.
Moana is pretty good too.

Let's get down to business.

It’s the best! Love the Disney films with strong female role models-Mulan definitely tops the list.

Thefaceofboe · 21/02/2021 14:15

I’m watching the new one right now on Disney +. Haven’t seen the original in years but forgot how great it is

ODFOx · 21/02/2021 14:17

Brave is the best Disney film. Strong female lead and the music is magical.

DerekMorganswife · 21/02/2021 14:22

Yes!! My husband was just saying the same thing. Plus the Donny Osmond song is my favourite Disney song of all time. It just never gets old.

Peopletry · 21/02/2021 14:22

Yeah-it’s Brave.

NotExactlyHappyToHelp · 21/02/2021 14:25

YANBU it’s hands down the best! She saved China!

I watched it with my niece (4) a while ago and she just couldn’t understand why girls couldn’t join the army bless her. She got a bit cross.

Honourable mention to Pocahontas as runner up.

SummaLuvin · 21/02/2021 14:26

lol Brave is Pixar, not the same category...

Flibbertygibbertywoo · 21/02/2021 14:26

YABU. It’s clearly Moana.

inmyslippers · 21/02/2021 14:28

Noo it's Hercules followed by the og lion king

PogoTheClown · 21/02/2021 14:30

I've always Mulan. Underrated in my opinion.

Coco is up there, too.

Frozen is overrated and that's a hill I'm willing to die on

PogoTheClown · 21/02/2021 14:30

I've always loved Mulan.

How I missed an entire word I've no idea.

YouCantBeSadHoldingACupcake · 21/02/2021 14:31

Nooooo mulan is way down the list. Robin Hood, Aladdin, moana, princess and the frog, are all way better than Mulan

TheMarzipanDildo · 21/02/2021 14:33

YANBU Mulan is my favourite.

WolfHunter · 21/02/2021 14:33

Moana and the new Aladdin. I love the old one but I like that in the new one Jasmine becomes the sultan.

Bristolbongos · 21/02/2021 14:38

It’s stressing me out that Mulan is fighting a battle with her hair down. I can’t even wash up without putting my hair in a bobble or it annoys me

I've never seen it!
I have a lot of love for Tangled.

NuttySlacker · 21/02/2021 14:40

OP, you mis-spelled Moana Grin

swinglowsweetchariot12 · 21/02/2021 14:41

Coco is the best by far!!

BrumBoo · 21/02/2021 14:41

I like Mulan (cartoon) but never one of my favourites. Especially when they set her up with obviously-gay-Shang at the end. Unnecessary.

Of the new ones, Moana has the best 'strong female' Disney story, Brave was good but a bit too heavy on 'female character is immature rather than knows her own mind'. I liked Rapunzel, but in hindsight the kidnapped baby story is a bit too dark. Frozen was absolute tosh.

Of the older classics, I loved BeBeauty and the Beast, shame Belle was such a disappointment in the end. Dumps the egotistical man for the emo grump when all she wanted was adventure and learning. The Once Upon A Time version covered this story MUCH better.

The Little Mermaid is the worst. Just no. Terrible story, terrible main character, terrible example for young people (especially girls).
