Favorite Disney Animated Movie

Admit it, you all have one.  What's your favorite Disney animated movie, and why?

Personally, I love Hunchback of Notre Dame, for the music, the visuals, and Frollo is such a great villain.  I also have a soft spot for The Black Cauldron.

Disney gets a bad rap sometimes, but I still love their animated movies.

On the whole, Beauty and the Beast is my favorite.  Gaston is a great villain, the songs are wonderful, Belle is one of the best Disney leads.  I love the contrasting that goes on between Gaston and Beast; it gives the film more depth than Disney was usually known for.  Also, it's just a really entertaining movie and it's short enough that it doesn't drag.

Hunchback is my choice for second place, for reasons you mentioned.  I would say it's number one, but the Gargoyles drag it down a lot (I know it's a cliche reason, but they just do: they exist only for marketing purposes and completely distract from the film's tone).  The "Hellfire" sequence is perhaps the greatest moment in a Disney film?  Well, maybe not, but it's close.

Third place is a little sketchier.  Lady and the Tramp?  Yeah, I'll just go with it. 

As far as "fun" Disney movies go, I like Aladdin, Tangled, and Wreck-It Ralph about equally.  I don't think they reach the heights of the above two.  I'm not a huge fan of Disney movies pre-90s, but they are for the most part at least above average quality.

Sleeping Beauty.

The music, the animation style, and the villain are all favorites among my Disney collection. I am a pretty avid Disney fan, so there is quite a bit of competition.

Honorable mentions go to: Aladdin, Beauty and the Beast, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, Lion King, and Tangled.

Other notables: Fantasia, Rescuers, Lady and the Tramp, and Robin Hood.

(I'm sure I've forgotten a few... it's late and I don't feel like getting up and checking to see what else I own. :p )

The Lion King

I loved it so much that when I was a little kid I watched it so many times that the VCR tape broke! We also watched the funny sequels at least 20 times each. :p

Emperor's New Groove. Because it is the anti-thesis of Disney, yet still produced by Disney.

I love Kronk's (patrick warburton) voice. Yzma (Eartha Kitt) is a wonderful villan. And John Goodman and David Spade play off each other really well as the Pacha and the Emperor.

No question, the best Disney animated film is:  Robin Hood

I can stand behind this. That and Lion King can fight for first place.

I liked them all as a kid, I haven't seen Dumbo and Hunchback since, that might boost it's rating.
Nobody mentioned Peter Pan yet? I like it pretty much, too.

@wero - I also have a soft spot for Black Cauldron.

#1 has to be The Little Mermaid. It has everything you want in a Disney movie: Lots of GREAT musical numbers, lovable characters, good comic relief, a scary villain, lots of bright colors...
#2 for me is Lion King, and it's really close. The comedy is even better, and the score is right up there.
#3 is Aladdin, but the drop off is bigger.
Then probably Cinderella and Hunchback.

Dumbo.  Hands down.

Really?  It's the shortest, and probably the most blatantly racist aside from Song of the South.

Definitely Alice in Wonderland (the original) and then either Lion King or Aladdin.

Unfortunately, Nightmare Before Christmas is not considered animated for the purposes of Disney Animation Studios.

And I feel sad that I forgot about Little Mermaid. That was my dad's favorite.

Dumbo does get away with a lot of "questionable" race portrayals, especially with the crows.

When I was a kid, Robin Hood and The Lion King were probably my favorites. Now I'd say Beauty and the Beast--the fact that I was part of my high school's production of it probably helps :P

My high school decided to do Beauty and the Beast the year after I left, SO DISAPPOINTING! 

IMO, Bell is the best female protagonist Disney has created. 

1.)  She loves to read
2.)  She cares about her family very much
3.)  She looks past outward appearance to the person within
4.)  She attractive

Hello.  Name's Bruce.  It's all right.  I understand.  Why trust a shark, right?

Is quite curious - Who is the mystical "Celestial Chameleon"?

No Star Wars jokes, huh?  ;)

Up.

Or if it's traditional animation only, probably Lion King.

1941, man.

The kid torn from his Mom?  Heart wrenching.  The mouse trying to do what he can to help?

Everyone here seems to be into the expensive Elton Johnish stuff.  The Lion King is Disney's animated Titanic.  I prefer the old, imperfect films.  Lady and the Tramp is another great one.  Pinocchio!

I think The Sword in the Stone is my fav to re-watch.

As a kid, my favourite was the Lion King, by a wide margin.

Although for me, the villain made the movie, so I also really enjoyed Hunchback of Notre Dame (fantastic music by the way), Aladdin and Hercules (Hades was and still is my favourite villain, though now Dr. Facilier comes close).

Favorites in order:

1. Beauty and the Beast
2. Pinocchio
3. Lilo and Stitch
4. Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs
5. The Little Mermaid

Beauty and the Beast has it all: good songs, an appealing heroine, a nasty but understandable villain. Pinocchio is the best of the classic period, including some of Disney's best songs. Lilo and Stitch is an underrated modern treasure. Snow White gets props as the one that started it all, and The Little Mermaid rounds out my selection.

I'm only considering traditional drawn animation here, so The Nightmare Before Christmas and anything by Pixar is disqualified. Favorite Pixar movie would be a great thread.

My friend's daughter (2 years old or so) is obsessed with The Aristocrats. Probably one of those kid obsessions that lasts a month and vanishes.

I don't think I even liked it when I was a kid.
