Directors Walt Disney Co. Animated Films Tournement (1 Viewer)

I thought a tournement of all the animated features released and produced by the Disney company would be a good idea. this means I'm going to include films like Nightmare Before Christmas and Ducktales, but not pickups like Valiant, Studio Ghibli and Pixar. Perhaps I'll later have a mini tournement between the top six Disney movies from this run and the Pixar movies.

If people think we should include the mixed media films not usually designated 'Disney Classics' like Reluctant Dragon, Victory Through Air Power, Song of the South and Who Framed Roger Rabbit, we certainly can, because we're including Saludos Amigos and Three Caballeros which I think have some live action footage (been a while since I saw them).
