Hi,

I did not post this in the Animation section because when it comes to Disney films they made more than just cartoons. This question is which is your favorite Disney film out of both the animations and live action films they made.
For me 'Mary Poppins' has got to be one of the best. Otherwise I also really love 'Bambi' and one of their later ones; 'Beauty And The Beast' (which IIRC was actually nominated for Best Picture at the oscars). There are many others that I really like but these 3 are probably my favorites. How about you?

Erm ... if you held a gun to my head, I'd go with BEAUTY & THE BEAST.

Today I'll vote for Sleeping Beauty.

The art work is outstanding.

I do remember being a very young man, going to the movie theater, not seeing A Goofy Movie. I do not feel that it was a mistake, because I really enjoyed the movie I viewed instead, but I can't help wondering what would have happened to me, what kind of a person I would have become, if I had seen this ravishingly beautiful tale of our beloved Goofy and his teenage son.
There are a lot of good Disney films. The Junglebook with its groovy songs and laid back bears, The Aristocats with its groovy songs and evil butlers, The Beauty and The Beast which is just a really cool story, and so on.
In animation I like the drawing to look a bit scruffy and old. There's more life to them that way. So old Disneys generally look pretty cool. The old ones often have the best music too. Being a jazz enthusiast, I particularly enjoy the scores of the already mentioned Jungle Book and Aristocats.
In spite of all this, my all time favourite Disney film has to be A Goofy Movie. Even though this was made as late as 1995, it has it all. Slightly sloppy animation, great humour, delightful music, Goofy being himself in the best possible way, and stuff. One thing I find utterly charming is the scenes where only the main characters move, and everything and everyone in the background is completely frozen (figuratively speaking). I haven't seen the original version, because the Norwegian actors are doing such a great job for once.


"[...]To all of which, I admit, I had nothing to answer, for it was but the truth. So I refrained from launching into useless palavers and quibbling, and, immediately drawing the two pistols which I had in my belt, I fired them both, by way of argument, into the faces of this droll fellow and his accomplice, which spared me the necessity of speech and ended the quarrel in the best possible way." - Louis Adhémar Timothée Le Golif

Wonderful topic, Honza! I love Disney movies and I would have to agree with Indi_Gurl.

However, for the sake of the thread: I will go with the Little Mermaid and The Jungle Book for my favorites. May I also add, has anyone seen or owned the Disney Sing-Along films? I love those too.

Disney has a special place in my heart, but I respect everyone who doesn't share the love. Wink

I recently saw "The Little Mermaid" which I had missed out on when it was released. I really liked it; its definitely up there with the best of the Disney films. The Mermaid is a great heroine - and I've heard it said that she is the first of the more 'modern' Disney heroines.

Sigh! I have to post in two different threads discussing the same topic. Roll Eyes

The Incredibles (2004) and Wall*e (2008).

We've seen many Disney films, my kids and I have enjoyed them all. So I can't really say that I have any particular favorite.

I love anything that has to do with Disney- Disney films, Disneyland, Disney World, etc. On of my all time favorite movie is Beauty and The Beast. I'd like to share my Disney experiences with my kids. We like vacationing in Orlando and going to Disney World. We can get very affordable hotel accommodation through Hotel International Drive and booking tours with Tour Orlando. I am looking forward to the next Disney movie.

For Disney's animated movies, Id go for Mulan. Mulan teaches lots of values to their viewers applicable not only to the kids but to the grown ups as well. As for the real life movies, I like Parent Trap. It is fun and very creative.
