"The Fox and the Hound" is kind of underrated, I think.

FANTASIA!
― Joe, Wednesday, 13 June 2007 23:55 (seventeen years ago) link
i don't want someone bitching because i'm leaving out, like, "around the world in 80 days" (starring jackie chan and steve coogan so actually maybe i personally would bitch about that omission), so i'm having a difficulty.
Actually that movie was really entertaining, fast-paced and funny. It also had cameos from all these Wes Anderson dudes. I would vote it before 90% of all the 90 billion other live action Disneys, save maybe The Ugly Dachshund and those nature movies that were overdubbed ala "Endless Summer," which we watched endlessly in elementary school when we weren't being showed The Three Cabelleros or that scary-assed Raggedy Ann/Andy cartoon by the Who Framed Roger Rabbit guy.

i vote for bambi, cause i enjoy the songs in it.
― funny farm, Thursday, 14 June 2007 00:34 (seventeen years ago) link
The Jungle Book, first movie I ever saw
― Dimension 5ive, Thursday, 14 June 2007 00:39 (seventeen years ago) link
Bambi was the first movie I ever saw at the cinema. I am a downright sonofabitch because I voted for Fantasia. It was the best Christmas present I ever received, because it was an unexpected surprise at 18 from my nan (she remembered it was my favourite movie as a kid). THANKS NAN!
― Hard like armour, Thursday, 14 June 2007 00:48 (seventeen years ago) link
Bambi's great; it's so fun to sing "Drip Drip Drop Little April Showers," wonderful all-choral song.
― Abbott, Thursday, 14 June 2007 01:07 (seventeen years ago) link
How Fantasia would not win this?

I would like to mention that the animated sequences in Bedknobs and Broomsticks are great, in a 1960s English let's fight the Nazis through songs and football kind of way. Also, Angela Lansbury.

Bedknobs and Broomsticks was totally my favorite movie for a while when I was around 7.
― marmotwolof, Thursday, 14 June 2007 04:15 (seventeen years ago) link
I voted for "Jungle Book", I love it. I haven't seen "three caballeros" and now I really want to. I love "Bambi" as well, b/c it's beautiful to look @, but as someone mentioned upthread it is a bit depressing, and hard to take when yr a kid.
― Pashmina, Thursday, 14 June 2007 09:33 (seventeen years ago) link
Bedknobs and Broomsticksp scareds the shit out of me! It kept moving.
I voted Aladdin if only because I like drunkenly singing "Prince Ali, yay it is he, Ali Ababwa" (NB. I don't know the words). Also Robin Williams was great.

Alice in Wonderland?!? that movie is so half-assed!
― Shakey Mo Collier, Thursday, 14 June 2007 23:09 (seventeen years ago) link
Yah WTF!
(But then I'm an asshole stickler who hates whn adaptations of Alice in Wonderland throw in shit from Through the Looking Glass.)
(But also it's totally half-assed.

tuomas you forgot to include "victory through air power"!!

If it was Švankmajer's Alice, maybe...but then I was one of the three stooges who voted Sword in the Stone.

First time one of my goddamn picks wins.

Hello. I'm also getting PISSED at Aristocats at 5 votes? Have you ever even HEARD that song they sing about "SCALES AND ARPEGGIOS"? Maybe the only good thing about that movie was inspiring the Cures' Lovecats video, wherein the bassist looked k-hott.

I like AiW and all but there are all kinds of things about it that are sub-par for Disney - the songs for one thing, the lack of a plot for another, and several sequences where the animation is, er, less than stellar. COME ON PEOPLE
― Shakey Mo Collier, Thursday, 14 June 2007 23:24 (seventeen years ago) link
okay the Un-Birthday Song is good
Some of you muthafuckas is high, voting Alice #1.
― HI DERE, Thursday, 14 June 2007 23:25 (seventeen years ago) link
re Shakey Mo's ALice comment: At least it wasn't Xerox cel method, which kind of ruined 2 decades of Disney films.
― Abbott, Thursday, 14 June 2007 23:27 (seventeen years ago) link
I think maybe some peoples voted for what it was adapted from rather than the film itself? Cuz if I'm going from original material Alice wins easy.

There was a song from it that went "Everybody wants to be a cat" which used to be on my kiddie Disney record and I thought was absolutely wicked. Also, "We are siamese if you please". So, top songs. Don't think I've ever actually seen it though.
― chap, Thursday, 14 June 2007 23:28 (seventeen years ago) link
We are siamese is Lady & Tramp tho

Oh, so it is. I got confused cos it's about cats.

Understandable. I haven't seen most of this shit in years and hate hate hate the DVD moratorium bullshit. I've never even seen The Lion King.
