Can you rank all 50 Disney animated features?

I believe technically I have, but I haven’t seen most of the package features from the '40s. I’ll get to them eventually. :confused:

#142

I’ve only seen half of them. I want to watch more from the Walt era.

#143

Yeah, those are the most difficult to see. I didn’t see them until I was a teenager, when I bought the Saludos Amigos/3Caballeros DVD. And I rented another package film.

#144

Yes. It took me until recently to see HotR. Funny enough, I grew up watching the ones you mentioned. 8D

#145

I have access to them and all, but they just don’t look interesting to me! I feel like they’re basically Disney shorts (which I rarely watch) as opposed to Disney canon films. D:

#146

I defintely reccomend them.

*Great music
*It’s a great education on other cultures.
*How they came to be is facinating. It’s so interesting, they made a documentary about it for goodness sakes. The U.S. government sending animators down to South American for a good will and propaganda tour? These films drip with history
*I adore the character animation. I really do.
*Three Caballeros, in paticularly, is very unique. I’ll go as far to call the last 5 minutes an acid trip of animation. I can’t explain it, it’s just very…visually unique.
*Jose Fricken’ Carioca. Need I say more?

There are a few shorts in the packages that aren’t incredibly amazing. But others are very well done. But I reccomend any Disney fan to watch these movies. At least give them a chance.

#147

There are a couple of movies at the top of my Netflix queue that are either some indie movies from 2011 I still haven’t seen or Hungarian films for a paper I’m writing, but I think you’re right and I should give those package features a shot. Up they go to the top of my queue!

Whoa! Apparently I haven’t posted my rankings in this thread yet. I don’t have all 50 but, as I said earlier, I feel like trying to add some of the package features is like comparing apples to oranges, although those films certainly may have redeeming qualities. I found that breaking the top 43 into tiers of 10 actually split them up pretty accurately for my taste. This list is a balance of quality and personal enjoyment. I would rather watch The Emperor’s New Groove over Fantasia, for example, but I think the latter is a better film.

  1. The Lion King
  2. Bambi
  3. Beauty and the Beast
  4. Cinderella
  5. Aladdin

  5. The Rescuers Down Under
  6. The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh
  7. Pocahontas

#150

I lovez your list!!!

#151

Great lists, both q_o_p and K9! I too am a bit confused about the placement of Oliver and Company on yours though, Queen. It’s not the greatest but I’m having a hard time seeing why it belongs in the rank of Chicken Little. :open_mouth:

#152

I like how you broke down your list q_o_p. For the most part, I agree with it!

#153

I stand by my opinion that Oliver and Company is one of the worst Disney animated features, though it’s not necessarily as bad as Chicken Little even when having a close ranking. For one, it’s in that awkward phase between the complete retirement of the Nine Old Men and the Disney Renaissance, and it definitely shows in the quality of animation. The color palette is ugly throughout the film, there’s only one notable song, the story is weak and predictable, and the characters are too stereotypical and flat. It’s actually more difficult for me to pick elements of the film I do like, and that’s pretty much how I feel towards all the Disney films at the very bottom of my rankings barrel.

#154

I just have! I liked it,at the end i realised how much of a rip-off shrek was! :open_mouth:

#155

Shrek isn’t a rip-off. It’s a spoof. rip-off and spoof are diffrent thing’s.

#156

^ Yes,I know the difference, but what i meant was that shrek basically has the same plot.

#157

That dosen’t mean it’s a rippoff. Have you ever seen Kimba the White Lion? Some people think Lion King ripped them off. There are very similer scenes but it dosen’t mean they ripped them off.

#158

Shrek isn’t a rip off. It’s a movie that relies heavily on parody and spoof, yes. But the premise of the movie IS original. (sort of, it’s based on a book, but you know what I’m saying). It has themese from various fairy tales, but the backbone of the story is an original idea.

#159

Alright, it’s been long enough, so here’s my list. As always keep in mind that these are my “favorites” and may be different from any and every other list out there for identical or different reasons. Also keep in mind that these are only the 50-canon films, so no Roger Rabbit, Brave Little Toaster, Nightmare Before Christmas, or various Pixar titles.

1. The Adventures of Ichabod and Mr. Toad
2. Fantasia
3. Melody Time
4. The Hunchback of Notre Dame
5. Alice in Wonderland
6. Treasure Planet
7. The Sword in the Stone
8. The Rescuers Down Under
9. Tarzan
10. Pinocchio
11. Tangled
12. Bambi
13. Snow White and the Seven Dwarves
14. Atlantis: The Lost Empire
15. The Emperor’s New Groove
16. Mulan
17. Peter Pan
18. Sleeping Beauty
19. The Jungle Book
20. Dumbo

50. Home on the Range

I haven’t seen Winnie the Pooh (2011), but it’s the 51st film so I guess I don’t need to put it on the list yet. I’m also really looking forward to Wreck-It Ralph.

#160

Nice list Chuckles! I do think that Treasure Planet is a tad too high though. Oh well.
