Poll: Old Disney or Pixar?

[Overlord Moo]

Who do you guys think made/makes better movies, the Disney of old or Pixar?

Close call, but I would say Pixar. Most of the old Disney films were based around pre-existing source material (e.g. Aladdin) while Pixar come up with their own original ideas

I think when he says "old disney" he means... you know when walt disney was in charge.

Walt had a promise to himself: "NO SEQUALS!"
The first ever sequal was aladdin 2 (which sort of did have a good excuse to have a sequal) and walt demanded that "WALT" be removed from "Walt disney productions" for that movie.

Then he died... and we start getting crap like high school musical 18: That degree in friendshp from university didn't get you a job so now your a hoe! (HOE!)

Pixar is probably the greatest movie development studio in the past... Actually, in the past ever. No company has ever came close to delivering the volume of sophisticated, intelligent and appealing movies which are often more emotionally powerful than any other Oscar movie you might care to name. The best animation in cinema, combined with some of the most interesting scripts and lovingly sculpted characters make them absolutely peerless. Old Disney were great, but Pixar are perfect.

Apart from Cars, but we can forget about that right?

Reallly tough, I wnt old Disney but Pixar are just as great.

I was raised on Disney and therefore lean toward old school Disney. I like Pixar though, they make me laugh

Well this is hard to answer. I grew up on Disney cartoons and back then there were no substitute for a good Disney Cartoon movie. Today they are still fun to watch but pixar movies are more humorous. It's pretty even for me.

There really are very few films about motorsport that I've seen that are more authentic than Cars - Le Mans, Steve McQueen's personal pet project and contender for the title of "best motorsport film ever made" is the only one that springs to mind.

Well, to be fair Cars isn't actually a bad film. It's pretty good compared to the majority of other cgi films of the time and today. But the main problem was that it just didn't feel like a Pixar film and like more of a dreamworks movie. It lacked that little bit of magic that the rest of Pixar's films have. I'm really not saying that we should crucify Pixar for making a good film instead of a great one, but it is the only blip on Pixar's back catalogue that lacks the spark of their previous films.

I'm a bit of an Old Disney nut. Oliver and Company is the go at the moment but Pixar is very entertaining and funny. It's hard to choose between the two as they are very different. I love old Disney for the music but I love Pixar for the entertainment.

Old Disney by some distance at the moment. As good as some of Pixar's films have been, there's only been one "classic" film by them so far imo (Wall-E) and several good films. Whereas Disney probably have 15-20. Pixar could overtake them if they keep up their level of quality and quantity of films release though.

I <3 Toy Story.

I second this. If I just remember Wall-E...dit Disney ever succeed in making a fantastic movie with barely any dialogue? Pixar pulled it off, and hów.
