The Top 15 Disney Movies!
15 Lady and the Tramp
This movie always captured me by how it tells the tale of opposites attracting. The songs are good and it has some great characters.
14 Dumbo
Two words: Pink Elephants. This movie is always enjoyable and tell people that even if you are different, you can still come out on top.
13 Hercules
Loosely based on Greek mythology, this movie is hilarious. James Woods as Hades and an eclectic cast of characters makes this movie a good one.
12 Aladdin
Good songs and great characters. It would have been higher if it had not produced the song "A Whole New World." Seriously, it has to be the most overplayed song next to "Don't Stop Believing."
11 The Princess and the Frog
The newest entry and it plays it safe on a lot of accounts. It takes inspiration from a lot of other Disney movies so that is it's biggest flaw. But it still delivers on songs, character, and a cool villain.
10 Robin Hood
In my opinion, the most entertaining version of Robin Hood. Prince John is still funny and the story still holds strong today.
9 Alice in Wonderland
This movie manages to tell a whole lot about nothing. The whole movie is told through one character and she is not only interesting to follow, but the people she meets and her reactions to them are great. Now if only Tim Burton would have made a movie just as good as this, then his version would have been spectacular.
8 Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs
The very first movie done by Disney. But by watching it, you never would have known. It looks good and the characters are fluid. Great songs, great characters and an amazing scenery.
7 One Hundred and One Dalmatians
This was one of the first movies I remember watching. I still enjoy watching it today. Horace and Jasper are cinemas finest bumbling idiot goones and of course it has one of the all time meanest villains. Great movie.
6 Lilo & Stitch
Once again, a newer movie but this took more risks than "The Princess and The Frog." And what we get is a finer product. It can balance the line between being funny and serious. This movie started the glut of animation movies in the mid 2000's, but it is the best out of all of them.
5 Fantasia
A movie that, once again, took risks. Combining classical music with Disney animation. What we got was a great piece of cinematic art that still hasn't been replicated today. Once this movie comes out on Blu-Ray, I will be buying it along with a Blu-Ray player.
4 Beauty and the Beast
The first animated movie to be nominated for best picture. With that credential alone you know this movie will be good. It has a great villain, a great hero and a message that comes across very well without being preachy. Bottom line, this movie is awesome.
3 The Emperor's New Groove
David Spade, John Goodman and Patrick Warburton all in the same movie. This is the funniest entry on the list, in my opinion. Mainly because of the character Kronk. Imagine Alan from the Hangover, but a cartoon and not a pedophile. It also has a great message too about how we shouldn't be wrapped up in what we want all the time, which can actually be a very positive Christian message. But you could say the same thing about a lot of other Disney movies.
2 Pinocchio
Most people consider this to be the best Disney movie. And it shows. With a great selection of songs, a great cast of characters, and a wonderful story that focuses mainly on Pinocchio, this movie is straight up awesome. This movie scared me as a child, but now I can watch it and only be mildly terrified of it. But regardless, I love to watch it and I will always let my Jimmy Cricket when I am in danger.
1 The Jungle Book
This is not only my favorite Disney movie, but overall movie. The movie has a minimal plot, to literally get from point A to point B. But this minimal plot approach allows for some stellar character development. It also has some show stopping tunes and a great villain. If I could make a movie half as good as this, I would consider it a massive success.
And there are my top 30 Disney Animated movies. My next post will be a double review of two superhero movies from this year. Kick-Ass and Iron Man 2.
