It’s so good! You should rewatch it Geoff.
Maybe I should. Problem is I’m not into Disney/Pixar flicks right now as I’m too busy exploring films of the more “mature” age range that include sci-fi, action, horror and even thriller. I’d be interested in giving it another look though.
The Great Mouse Detective is an underrated Disney film, I defintely recommend it.
Oh yeah, The Great Mouse Detective is a good movie. I barely saw it for the first time about two months ago, love the detective element of it. Both Basil and Ratigan are very good and charismatic characters. Oh yeah, and IV, I have now seen Atlantis 
. I like it, but I think I might to give it an extra try because I feel like I missed out on something. I think it’s because I was all alone when I saw it and I didn’t have the volume turned up that loud. Sometimes watching it with others help, that’s how my appreciation for The Princess and the Frog recently increased, for example. So I’ll watch it again soon and hopefully I’ll like it even more!
I remember The Great Mouse Detective. The Big Ben climax scene was pretty innovative for its time as it showcased how the use of computer animation could take the medium to new heights.
Back then I thought the animation looked more traditional. Looking back though, it would have been too complex.
I’m currently writing an article about Top 10 Favorite Disney films. Stay tuned, I’ll post a link here when I’m done!
I’d be happy to read it. 
Thank you Geoff! I’m exactly half way finished with it, actually.
I’m sure it will be well worth a read. I’m interested to see what you will say!

^I’m glad to see Pinocchio at the top spot, it is definitely worth to be called the greatest Disney film. (it’s just a bit beneath that on my list)
Me too! I love Pinocchio. It’s one of those more overshadowed films, but I thought it was very well made. I agree with EJE that it deserves to be called the greatest Disney film. I actually don’t necessarily disagree with any of your list, Ballboi. It’s very good!
Wow Ballboi! Impressive list.
Well, I could never make a list like that without ties, because it’s simply impossible.
But I do think Pinocchio is one of the best. Pretty much a flawless film.
Yes. Once I see a couple more films, I’ll consider an update. With me, films within five to ten spots apart from each other could sometimes basically all rank the same for me. I mostly group them together between my top favorites, then other excellent ones, then other good ones, then okay ones, and finally the sub-par level.
I am enjoying all this Pinocchio love! Like LQ says, it’s overshadowed. It’s an undeniable classic to film students and enthusiasts. But besides that, I feel people in general don’t really consider it often, which is a shame.
As I wrote about on my facebook earlier, it’s also Disney’s most terrifying film as well.
I honestly only remember a few highlights from Pinocchio. However, the other day, we watched Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, and my God, the toymaker looks just like Gepetto! I wonder if it was intentional.
I’ve seen almost all of them by now. I only need to see Bambi, Robin Hood, The Black Cauldron, and the six back-to-back package films. However, there are several I saw once but I need to re-watch. Like, I don’t think I saw all of Fantasia, and I think I missed the last few minutes of The Sword in the Stone. Also, I’ve only seen One Hundred and One Dalmatians on TV.
While I haven’t seen those six package films, I have seen “Mickey and the Beanstalk” from Fun and Fancy Free and “Wind in the Willows” from The Adventures of Ichabod and Mr. Toad.
