I don't really think that any of the so-called 'new age' Disney titles can even compare to the earlier classics: Here are my favourites in order.
1) Alice in Wonderland - the most twisted of the earlier cartoons, and IMO the most fun.
2) Fantasia - the most magical Disney film, and IMO the most imaginative!
3) Peter Pan - I have really fond memories of this as a child. + its a great story.
4) Dumbo - another childhood favourite
5) Pinocchio - yet another childhood favourite
6) Bambi - IMO the essential Disney film, but not as personnal to me as the others so it goes lower down.
I also love these Disney animated classics, but wouldn't consider them to be favourites:
-Lady and the Tramp
-The Sword in the Stone
-Beauty and the Beast

All time #1 favourite animated film: Pinocchio
Favourite contemporary Disney: Beauty and the Beast
Others I love:
Classics: Alice in Wonderland, Fantasia, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs
Contemporary Disney films: I've pretty much loved all of them. Hercules and Mulan I didn't LOVE, but enjoyed well enough.

I had just seen Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs for the first time a couple of days ago. It is already my favorite Disney animated film. Granted, I should revisit the other classic movies to make up my mind about them, but as of now, I enjoy Snow White more so than any other.

The Little Mermaid and Beauty and the Beast are both terrifically entertaining, and Fantasia is definitly a treat, but it doesn't reach me personally. Instead, the Pines of Rome sequence in Fantasia 2000 hits me stronger than any sequence. But for pure silly fun, The Emperor's New Groove may have no peer.

Shame on you all. On the Disney site that was referred to in another thread, Song of the South scores highest by far (as well as Brer Rabbit as popular character). How is that possible?
So go back to your posts in this thread and put this title much higher, or enter it at all, to stay consistent with that poll!

...Song of the South scores highest by far...
I suspect its absence from this poll is due to 2 things:
- Many people haven't seen it in years, as they are patiently waiting to revisit it on DVD. :D
- It's not 100% animated.
However, if it counts, then so would Mary Poppins and I'd add that to my list as well.

1) Pinocchio

2) Snow White

3) Fantasia

4) Bambi

5) Fantasia 2000

6) Dumbo

7) Beauty & the Beast

[huge gap intervenes]

725) Sword in the Stone

726) Sleeping Beauty

[another huge gap intervenes]

1565+) Everything else.

Seriously, the first four on my list are just heads and shoulders above anything else by Disney or anyone else. I fail to understand how someone can like most of the stuff Disney has churned out in the last 10 years. Yuck.

I really like the comidic ones, like Aladdin, Hercules and Little Mermaid, where you can laugh your ass off everytime you see them! :)

Absolute Favorite: Toy Story 2 (does this count?)
Other favs, in no particular order:
The Little Mermaid (The movie that spearheaded the Disney animation renaissance. And the "Kiss the Girl" scene blew me away when I first saw it.)
The Hunchback of Notre Dame (underrated; meant for adults, not kids)
Toy Story (Watershed for animated films. The Snow White for the computer age.)
Aladdin This is just plain fun, was great on first release, and still plays well (despite it's many pop-references).
There are several excellent older titles too, but I'm most familiar with the post-1989 titles.

I love Beauty and the Beast. By far, my favorite Disney animated feature.

Of the old ones, it's Snow White.
