POLL: Best Disney animated feature.

jeez that Pinocchio re-release I was talking about was 1984, must've been one of the first movies I ever saw in the theater.

it actually was the first movie i saw; my dad wrote in his journal about it the night after he took me. he said i spent the next whole day telling lies, pressing on the end of my nose, and giggling.

would have voted lion king

lion king had a really epic board game tiein

ok I'm pretty sure I saw Bambi in '82 but was too young to be traumatized by the mom death or know wtf was going on or give a shit about Bambi but I liked Thumper.

The board ate my post :(

Thumper is the only rabbit I know who transferred his lust from his dick to his foot.

I'll write it again:

While you're all in hell for worshipping obese animals and listening to trippy Mad Hatter tales, I'll be in heaven sipping margaritas thanks to THE RESCUERS DOWN UNDER.

If you guys haven't seen HUNCHBACK (and I doubt most of you have), you NEED to watch the creepiest song sequence in any animated feature or possibly any movie ever. Evil priest sings about how he must fuck a woman or she'll go to hell.

I kind of had a crush on evil priest when I saw this movie at theater during age 12. ;_;

That was the last Disney film I saw in the theatre...several parents walked out. True story: one old bag said to another, "These Disney people think they're David Lynch or something."

HAHAHA that's awesome.

I remembered the whole 'God have mercy on her...God have mercy on me' bit just before it came up! :D

yeah hunchback is sorta classic despite being a hot mess, i remember my parents were heckling it bc of happy ending and demi moore but i had a bunch of crude tracings of the gypsy jester guy in my shitty drawing notebook that summer

I had a crush on him, too.

That religious rapeanger song shit is blood money diamonds gr8080. The rest of the movie doesn't really live up to it.

Holy crap Benji is TEARING SHIT UP on "So You Think You Can Dance," gotta go

Yeah, I remember when I was watching Hunchback, and that priest scene came, and I was like holy shit, am I still watching a Disney film?! But most of the movie was pretty uneven, and I never understood why, if the theme of the movie was that apperances don't matter, did Esmeralda choose the handsome prince anyway, and the Hunchback was left without any cookie? Either make it a tragedy like the original, or make him get the girl, but the ending we got was pretty half-assed.

no Pete's Dragon, no credibility

Pinocchio was robbed.

Pete's Dragon deepened my fear of hillbillies.

AVOID AVOID AVOID

lol @ these results btw

Pete's Dragon is a bizarre, dark Disney whatthehellwereyouthinking movie. And yet I kinda like it.

I was obsessed with Pete's Dragon as a kid. My favorite stuffed animal was a little Elliot pillow. I haven't seen it in years. The traveling magician (I think?) was way creepy and mickey rooney was such a drunk!

And Shelley Winters as an abusive adoptive mom, and leering hillbillies, and Helen Reddy pining for her true love lost at sea.

Yeah, it was pretty bizarre. I was a weird kid though.

I do a mean Elliot impression btw.

Ha! My 3 year old was into it for awhile, but he started getting scared toward the end so I've put it away for a few years.

I had the read-along record so I'm intimately familiar with this one.

The movie has fewer turn-the-page BEEPS.

two of Disney's most racist movies in the #2 spot

I dunno, the Jungle Book doesn't strike me as so bad...?

Wld rank Lady & the Tramp or Peter Pan ahead of it.

that sounds about right

Don't get me wrong, that ape is the WORST.

Ape is based on Louis Prima, a white guy

I don't get what specifically about King Louie codes as "black", it's not nearly as straightforward as the crows in Dumbo or the cats in Lady & the Tramp. Louis basically plays himself - a goofy jazz singer. His overriding goal is to get the secret of fire from Mowgli (who is also, incidentally, not white). The argument that a white guy acting (arguably) like a black guy while expressing a desire to be more like another non-white character is RACIST seems pretty convoluted to me.

shakey OTM.

haha i'd forgotten the cats in 'lady and the tramp,' i assumed abbs was referring to the stereotyped italian chefs!

haha!

"where we finding baby there are milk nearby"

The whole Pleasure Island sequence was one of the most frightening experiences I ever had in a theater.

10x scarier than anything Gerald Scarfe ever did.
