Best Disney Animated Movie (Round 2) [Archive]

I'll respond to some comments first:

[ QUOTE ]
Beauty and the Beast should be a Classic

[/ QUOTE ]

The movies were divided chronologically; all the *Classics* were from before 1981 (Fox and the Hound); all the *Moderns* were from 1989 on (Little Mermaid). This was done because there was a definite shift in the style of movies around this time period (they became more modern in storyline, and more of a musical than just a story)

[ QUOTE ]
these should be seeded

[/ QUOTE ]

Seeding the Classics is very difficult, as almost all of them are very good. Plus, since we're only looking for the best one, it doesn't really matter if/when the #1 and #2 movies match up. However, because the Classics are so closely matched overall, I'm allowing the first-round losers to play off against each other. The finals will then pit the second-chance winner against the Classics winner and the Modern winner.

[ QUOTE ]
(Lion King) ranked 10th??? please

[/ QUOTE ]

The numbers are not rankings.

[ QUOTE ]
What about (insert non-Disney animated movie here)?

[/ QUOTE ]

As I said, I'm only using the Disney movies (hence the title of the thread). I'm only using the ones that Disney classified as part of their *Masterpiece Collection* (which is why some are missing). Also, as stated, there were more than 32 movies, so some got left out. Some of the omissions were easy (Three Caballeros), some were more difficult (The Rescuers, left out of the Classics), and some were for aesthetic reasons (Black Cauldron: fell between Fox and the Hound, which was the end of the Classics, and Little Mermaid, which was the beginning of the Moderns; Rescuers Down Under: left off because Rescuers was left off). In any case, none of the excluded movies had a chance to win this thing anyway /images/graemlins/wink.gif

I think the most interesting matchup is gonna be the alice in wonderland/101 dalmations. Both are great movies and both deserve to go into the next round. I like this poll, makes you remember how many great disney films there are

This is a very well thought ut poll. The only one I had to think about was Modern QTR 1. I went with Little Mermaid.

ALso, it is kind of scary that I have seen so many of these.

Jungle Book wins.

Sorry, it seems the forum software f*!#!#$ up the poll. The matchups are still correct, they are just listed in the wrong order. Obviously Classic qtr 1 will face off against Classic qtr 2; 3 v 4, and so on.

I've got to agree. The Jungle Book is fantastic. It doesn't just win; it wins by a lot.

[/ QUOTE ]
My thoughts exactly. That was the only comparison I had to think about. Both are great, but I gave the nod to Alice in Wonderland because I have a taste for the psychedelic. I couldn't fault anyone that voted the other way, and I'd love to see either advance.

I'm assuming most people haven't seen The Emperor's New Groove, because it's [censored] hilarious. The Lion King has that nostalgia thing going for it, but I think TENG is the funniest Disney movie in recent times, if not ever.

This is very true. IMO, Lion King might be the best, but TENG is definitely the funniest. By a wide margin.

Tough draw.

Also, tough draw for robin hood, but it seems it has enought to beat out the original.

I doubt it's funnier than The Jungle Book. Everything King Louie does is gold. Baloo is funny too. Sheer Khan and the snake are both funny, and their scenes together are hilarious.

yeah, the jungle book will take this. It's pretty cruel though, matching up robin hood and fantasia

almost all the ones that are paired are ones its rough for me to pick b/w id have to go look back at the original list and go back and forth to do that...thats ALOT of work

diebitter

Fair enough.

There are some corkers that are paired.

What's your favourite then? Just trying to get an insight into Peachy.

aladin vs little mermaid is a ridiculously hard match up imo since i think both are in the top 4 or 5 to begin with. (i picked aladin).

i hope mulan beats Pocahontas because i don't think pocahontas is that good (for disney standards).

i hope the final match up is lion king vs aladin because those are my two favarorites.

10-15-2005, 09:42 AM

i had an apiphinay (sp?) and decided to open the thread in another window too....here are the ones that are hard for me to pick b/w:

snow white and dumbo
sleeping beauty and the sword and the stone
lion king and the emporers new groove
little mermaid and aladdin
jungle book and fox and the hound
bambi and peter pan

rest were easy no thought picks /images/graemlins/frown.gif

Yeah, I'd agree with most of em. However, I'm curious - you, [censored] and CardSharp rate FatH as better than (or at least on a par with) the mighty Jungle Book - I've got this film (well, my kids have got this film), and I haven't actually watched it since being a kid, and remember not really enjoying it much.

I think, given these 3 opinions, it requires another viewing....

And, yeah, the Emperor's New Groove is by far the funniest. The guy with his own theme music cracks me up!

The Lion King was great for the first 70%, but the rushed ending was an afterthought and really made it pale compared to some of these other gems.

I was going to be the fifth person to say that the Little Mermaid/Aladdin matchup is just ridiculously tough. I went with the seashells. Instead I'll be the fifth person to say that TENG is incredibly funny, like laugh out loud every minute funny, and if you haven't seen it you're missing out. Still...

The Lion King tramples all over the competition in every regard. The rest are playing for second

Even if it is funnier, there's no way it could walk all over it in any other way. That movie is pretty much perfect. The songs are great, and the blending of songs into the movie is the best Disney ever did it. The characters are all great, the animation is great, the story is great, the voices can't be beat, and it's one of the rare ones even for Disney that is just as enjoyable for adults as kids.

I've seen Lion King and TENG many times and love them both, but if you want me to pick a better movie, it's Lion King far and away.

Like it's one of those things where I can say "and it's not even close" and be correct.

Whoever picked Brother Bear over Beauty and the Beast is on crack.

Plus where is toy story/monsters inc,.

Who is picking robin hood over fantasia?
Also, really unfair to pair Aladdin with Little mermaid =/

I dunno if this means anothing but I have 11/12 agreeing with majority. only picking fantasia over robin hood.

I'll watch TENG to see if it's what it's cracked up to be, but it would have to hit me like the very Word of God or something to shake me off thinking Jungle Book was the funniest.

Monsters Inc. -- maybe someday. But I think it will take a good deal of counseling first to get over my Billy Crystal phobia.
