No Right Answer: Best Animated Disney Movie Ever

[Rakor]

I get the feeling they like pixar.

Man it has been a while since I've seen alot of these things to really decide on anything.

From small child perspective......probably Lion King because animals. Cause animals are awesome.

Now though.......likely Mulan I would say. Similar scene stealer to the Genie in Mushu, but the rest of the movie is rather nice. Still remember the scene near the end when she draws that sword on a rooftop, was pretty rad.

Lion King should've been there...and winning just cause of this. :3

Spoiler

Beauty and The Beast on a good second though.

Off-Topic: Wish I could meet you guys at PAX, better have fun there. =)

well its obvious isn't it... rescuers 2: down under (or just rescuers down under, titles are different in different places)

Robin Hood thirded. It may not have the pageantry of Beauty and the Kidnapper Who She Grows Attached to Thanks to Stockholm Syndrome; but it's got a lot of heart, a great story and really compelling characters. That would have made an interesting contrast with the Busby Berkeley extravaganza that is Aladdin.

 

[LawlessSquirrel]

Whaaaat? Beauty and the Beast? Your opinions are wrong!

Personally, I think Beauty and the Beast was one of the weaker movies. Still good, and Lumiere was a stand-out character. And the music was incredible. Uh, point being that overall, it was just a little on the shallow side and felt a little flat. To me, at least.

Aladdin was great though. No complaints here.

I'd call Hercules the best one, though. Mulan and Aladdin up in the top three. Although with that said, I haven't seen the Lion King in a while. I've rewatched all the others mentioned not too long ago.

Mulan is probably my favorite, but they are all good. ?Best Pixar movie? next? I?m guessing "Wall-E vs Toy story 3?.

Meh, I'll stick with Basil The Great Mouse Detective. But then I might be biased by the fact that a) I watched it a million times when I was a kid and b) I'm a massive Vincent Price fanboy.

Everyone knows all the best Disney movies are those that feature an exclusively animal cast. I am honestly surprised Lion King was not in the debate. I'd also vote for Lilo and Stitch, that's one of my favourites!

Robin Hood is a personal favourite of mine but I'm not so jaded that I'll blindly believe it's good enough to be considered one of the best. It's got a very odd structure and, probably due to its age, still adheres to stereotypical gender roles; Maid Marion has zero part in the final rebellion and acts purely as a love interest.

The best Animated Disney classic is, without a doubt, "The Hunchback of Notre Dame"
The "Hellfire" Sequence alone makes it the best ever.

Aladdin doesn't stand a chance against an epic gem like Beauty and the beast. Sure it was a great fun movie but that's what it was: fun. It was a funny fun fun movie fun.
Beauty and the beast however, has the fun but also the darkness, the music, the magic, the love, the goddamn beast! And yes, the first animated movie nominated for best picture award.
The debate would have made more sense if it was Lion King vs Beauty and the beast...though Beauty and the beast would still win in my opinion.

 

[esperandote]

My favorite kiddie movies are Mary Poppins but it isn't animated and An American Tail but it isn't Disney's.

 

[Robot Number V]

Nah, it's Aladdin. I mean, Beauty and Beast and Lion King are certainly good (and Lion King probably has the most epic intro scene of all time) but seriously...It's Aladdin. It has a GIANT SNAKE IN IT. Come on.

Facepalm... The best animated movie ever (not just Disney) was Snow White. Watch it again and you'll agree. The wealth of animation, the fantastic characters, the awesome music, the nudge-nudge wink-wink jokes, Snow White is simply the best. Every frame is a masterpiece. Pinocchio is almost on par for artistry, but the animation and story are a bit worse. It's all downhill after that (although each movie has something great, see Bambi and Dumbo).

In second place comes Fantasia 1940, mainly the "Night on a bald Mountain" devil scene which has THE best animated moment ever made (see http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nYSbxRiUgOo at 08:40).

An honorary 3'd place should go to Mickey Mouse & Friends - The Band Concert (1935) (see http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IErXg5kBXXg).

After watching Bolt and Tangled I was really surprised to see a great comeback of artistry in Disney movies (although 3D). Tangled is actually my favorite 3D movie, surpassing Finding Nemo's supremacy in my top spot.

I find the lack of clasic Disney movies references a little bit disturbing :S for me the best are The Jungle Book and The Fox and the Hound wich costed 12M dollars and had the work of Ollie Johnston and Glen Keane

Best Animated Disney Movie Ever

We've all grown up on classic, hand-drawn Disney classics, but will the next generation only know PIXAR as the purveyor of magic? The boys debate what one chunk of childhood Dan should pass on to his baby.

My only problem with Beauty and the beast is that her name doesn't mean beauty, her name is beauty. They are in France and are speaking French

Come on people. We all know Sleeping Beauty is Disney's best film.
