I used to watch Disney every day. It was awesome, man. Little Mermaid, TS 1-2, Bug’s Life…everything. I was just a kid, so yesterday we watched Mulan again after like forever and I had a great sense of nostalgia. You get a different view of things when you come back to it after a long time.
I honestly don’t remember very well what film I watched first. I actually kind of remember being around 2-3 years old, going to the video rental place with my parents, and looking at the Disney videos. The ones I remember seeing are Pinocchio and Peter Pan, but I don’t know which one I saw “first.” The first I saw in theaters was The Lion King when I was 4.
I’ll be honest, the Disney canon films I enjoy the least are many of the “package features” from the '40s, so I have barely seen them. These are basically compilations of little cartoon shorts. Not my thing at all… Those are the ONLY Disney canon movies I don’t own, if that says something.
They’re my least favorite too (with the exception of the truly bad ones, like Chicken Little), but I understand what the studio was going trough at the time.
Home on the Range was terrible, but watching Chicken Little is like getting hit from start to end. Probably one of my worsts cinematographic experiences.
