Gosh, I sure do love some old-timey Disney animation from when I was a kid. I think one of my favorite openings is this. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eTK9x4baQY8 Don’t you guys agree?
The Great Mouse Detective
Nightmare Before Christmas.
Still waiting for the Live Action Remake with Doug Jones as Jack.
Song of the South
Dinosaur (2000)
Every one that came before Aladdin. For me that movie marked a change in the way Disney made those movies. It went from telling a good story to making people laugh by shoving as many pop culture references into the movie as they can.
There were a few I liked after Aladdin but not many. Hercules, Dinosaur, Emperor’s New Groove, Treasure Planet, Lilo and Stitch, The Incredibles 1/2 and Meet the Robinsons is it.
I have a soft spot for Fox and the Hound and Robinhood. Those are the ones I remember most from my childhood.
I’m also old enough to have seen Black Cauldron in the theater. That was… something. lol
And here I thought I was the only one who saw that in theaters. Shame that no one’s gone back to that book series after that flop, they’re really good.
Not sure if it was my age or the time period, but it felt so special when a Disney animated movie came out. I remember a lot of people being in theater when I saw Black Cauldron. It’s a shame Disney made little so little mention of it over the years.
From childhood, eh? As much as I watched Lady and the Tramp, and The Jungle Book, The Sword and the Stone was my childhood favorite.
A Goofy Movie
Not Disney movies, but I LOVED watching these as I was growing up:
Phantom Tollbooth, Raggedy Ann, The Mouse and His Child (that sultry jazz opening!).
Oh man, the nostalgia trip
Well if you bring in non-disney animated
Great movie! Much fantasy. (sorry OP for my non-Disney post!)
Not from Disney, but childhood cartoon movie, hands down the Last Unicorn. Soundtrack was amazing, art, and the story.
That’s a favorite of mine too.
this still my favorite Disney movie
I miss that ride at Disney World! They refurbished the one in Disneyland to Finding Nemo.
For non-Disney related stuff:
Land before Time
Iron Giant
The Great Mouse Detective became a favorite of mine. I also feel Robin Hood gets overlooked, not as much as Black Cauldron, than it should. I know the CG hasn’t aged well but The Rescuers Down Under was a childhood fav.
