Best Disney films

One of the most underrated/under-appreciated Disney movies, without a doubt. After rewatching it, I was surprised at how much thematic material it actually covers, and how seamlessly it puts together the episodic adventures of Pinocchio. One of my favorite Disney movies, fasho.

The biggest reversal of opinion on a Disney movie I've had thus far. As a kid, it felt boring to me (everyone's falling asleep = made me want to sleep), and the animation is not as warm and inviting as something like Lady and the Tramp.

But, now that I've watched it again, I've done a 180 on it. The animation isn't warm, yeah, but that's what makes it beautiful. It's sort of like a stained glass painting: really sharp and vibrant, depicting tales of beautiful princesses, heroic princes, and completely awesome villains like Malificient. It all just feels so... "classic." I really don't know how to describe it other than that. But yeah, Disney hit this one out of the park fasho.

Proving that animation was a legitimate medium of storytelling, this is the movie that Disney has built upon for decades, and with all things considered, it's debatable as to whether they've ever really topped it.

This is the first movie, in my quest of re-watching all Disney animated feature films, where I changed a rating I had initially (but I think I might bump up Cinderella too). That means that I noticed stuff now that I didn't notice as much as a kid. The settings and backgrounds in this movie are GORGEOUS. I know I've been saying that a lot for a lot of these Disney movies, but... still. I guess thats a good thing for Disney, right?

A word that I feel describes this movie, for some reason, is "accomplished." It feels like "the most accomplished, complete Disney movie" I've seen thus far (when watching it chronologically like I am now.) Maybe the original story plays into it. Nonetheless, it feels like a complete, fluid story, unlike other Disney movies (which take other source material like Peter Pan and Alice in Wonderland) which feel a bit more "ragged," likely because of the addition/subtraction Disney has to do with the source material to translate it on screen. Anyway, the point is: this is a fluid story which feels very complete.

All in all, it's a immensely satisfying movie that lifts me up. I was in a sour mood because of the past few days I've had recently, but this made me feel better. I can always count on Disney, and this is certainly no exception. So, once again, thanks, Disney.

As a kid, I don't think I was ready for this movie. I didn't really understand or care for what it was saying about the strength of family. I thought it was sorta boring and long-winded. That was my loss. But now, the strength of this movie shines through. It's a very solid and enjoyable movie, a movie that Disney can be really proud of. I'd definitely consider this a cinema classic, all things considered.

Two more notes:
1. Dick Van Dyke = Ewan McGregor.
2. Julie Andrews is so ridiculously gorgeous in this movie, it's flippin' unfair. I DONT REMEMBER MARY POPPINS BEING SUCH A GRADE A HOTTIE

Absolutely ridiculously gorgeous animation, two amazing scenes and a lot of cuteness to spare.

Gorgeous gorgeousss animation, solid and engaging storytelling, great songs. Another example of Disney at the top of it's game. Totally a movie for female children, with it's message of a good girl with a heart of gold finally getting the boy as a reward. But hey, I'm a male college kid, and it's still immensely entertaining as another vibrant story told masterfully by Disney. A classic for a reason.

If you know what you're getting yourself into, i can't see how you'd be disappointed. It's masterfully done: the animation lines up perfectly with the music. There's some really memorable stuff like the Sorcerer's Apprentice and Night on Bald Mountain. Just be sure this is something you really want to watch before you put it on, though.

I didn't find it racist at all. It's sort of sad that this movie gets hidden away because of the race issue, because I thought it was a solid children's movie, and enjoyed it a lot. This isn't a movie that should be buried, because it's a worthy Disney feature film that just solidifies Disney's record even further as an animation/film titan.

As I continue through 1940-50s early Disney, I keep asking myself.. "who the hell storyboards this stuff? You gotta be sober to be storyboarding, right?" The answer actually might be "no, not necessarily."

This is one of those: another movie in contention for the trippiest Disney movie of all time, although i think Three Caballeros still reigns supreme. Absolutely perfect for potheads with short attention spans, because Alice seems to flow in and out of different surreal scenes, with basically nothing connecting the current scene with the former one. The scenes are entertaining, though, with weird stuff such as singing flower gardens, the hilarious Mad Tea party, and the creepy Chesire cat.

In conclusion:with this movie, a good time will be had by all, especially if you've also got some ganja at hand.

I don't really have much to say other than that this is a pretty solid Disney movie. Maybe I'll come back to re-edit when I think of something.

Cute, but since it's a Disney movie, it needs to be set to a higher standard. Although it's entertaining and certainly not bad, it doesn't quite measure up to the rest of of Disney's catalogue thus far. The animation style isn't as warm and inviting as it feels like it should be, given the content of the movie. A little too cold and distant: it doesn't have the "warmth" that Lady and the Tramp's animation seems to, and that "warmth" is something that would've fit this movie like a glove. Sorta hard to describe, but yeah, there you are.

Dumbo gets drunk, and starts seeing a scene straight out of Fantasia

A nice movie, but I can't say it's particularly memorable for anything other than the characters.

i was thinking about how to describe this, but flixster helped take that burden off my hands. the flixster synopsis this movie is sometimes referred to as "the Poor Man's Fantasia." that's incredibly accurate. it's got lighter, more child-friendly animated shorts, and doesn't focus as heavily on classical music. Other than that, it's the same sort of gist. Generally, an entertaining hour to spend.

Not bad, but not memorable either. An average re-telling of the story of Ichabod Crane, and the Toad short was decent too.

for a Disney movie, pretty average

Well animated, but the story isn't compelling enough to be considered anything other than average. ROFL @ the asian cat, that came out of nowhere hahahha

MIckey, Donald and Goofy's recreation of Jack and the Beanstalk is amusing and entertaining, but the stupid dummies' comments almost throughout ruined it. The Bongo piece is fun as well, but at the same time, Disney can churn that stuff out like clockwork, so it's nothing noteworthy, really.

takes Fantasia's place as the trippiest Disney movie of all time

Johnny Appleseed and Pecos Bill shorts are probably the highlights here. Another solid collection of shorts that are entertaining, but probably not very memorable as a whole.

Cute, but nothing special.

The first Disney movie to really disappoint me, during this re-watch of the Disney animated catalog. It seems that all they have is a premise (a pretty good one, actually. An animated movie about King Arthur.) But they have not much of anything else, in terms of plot, so they stretch it with useless "comedic" scenes, with Merlin turning Wart into several different animals in attempts to teach him "lessons". I often found myself wondering what the hell each "lesson" was for. Honestly, most of it didn't further the plot, nor did it develop the characters much. It's mere purpose seemed to be entertaining, yet it wasn't that entertaining, as these characters didn't particular feel all that endearing. I mean, if you're not gonna have a point to any of the events of the story, atleast make it fun.

So, when Wart finally pulls the sword out of the stone, and none of these aforementioned "lessons" actually plays a role in the plot itself or development of Wart as a character, the relative uselessness of basically the entire movie beforehand becomes glaringly obvious. Combine that with the fact that there's really no actual, credible conflict in this story, and you basically have yourself a movie that felt like it spent the entire time spinning it's wheels, but getting absolutely nowhere.
