There have been 50 classic Disney animated features released since Snow White in 1939. However, which ones are your favourites?

Mine are:

  • The Jungle Book
  • Robin Hood
  • The Rescuers
  • Lady and the Tramp
  • The Little Mermaid
  • Beauty and the Beast
  • Aladdin
  • The Lion King
  • Tarzan
  • The Emperor's New Groove

By the way, Pixar films don't count as Disney Animated Features.
 
Just when I saw this thread after seeing the new Pooh movie:

1. Beauty & the Beast
2. The Jungle Book
3. Dumbo
4. The Princess & the Frog
5. The Lion King
6. Fantasia
7. Hercules
8. Aladdin
9. Tarzan
10. Snow White & the Seven Dwarves
 
I think for going to see a lot of movies from the 40s, 60s and 90s, seeing as they were arguably the best eras.
 
Robin Hood. Hands down. Lots of other good ones, but Robin Hood's always, by far, been my favorite. Always loved it as a kid, and on the rare occasion I catch it today, I just have to watch it.
 
Mine is Alice in Wonderland. This movie is my childhood. I loved watching it as a kid, it didn't make much sense to me back then (and anyway, does it really even make sense now? xD) but it fascinated me and still does.

A close tie would be Fantasia. I love the musical pieces in it, adding to that the pretty animation that matches the music. That's another movie I loved watching when I was a little girl. It is so colorful and has a magical feel to it. ¦3

Funny how I prefer the older movies even if they are not of my time. But I always preferred the older Disney movies than the most recent ones.
 
1.Mulan
2.Aladdin
3.Beauty and the Beast
4.Lilo and Stitch
5.Lion King
6.Tarzan
7.Anastasia
8.Emperor's New Groove
9.Aristocrats
10.Oliver & Company

Not necessarily in that order, though

Anastasia isn't a Disney movie. It's a Don Bluth film released by 20th Century Fox.

On-topic, I'd have to say The Hunchback of Notre Dame, Hercules, Mulan and The Emperor's New Groove are probably my favorites. Always enjoyed One Hundred and One Dalmatians as a kid, too, but these days I'm not much of a dog person. :p
 
I've got a bunch of favorites, but I'll list my Top 10:

1: Alice in Wonderland
2: 101 Dalmations
3: Aladdin
4: Winnie the Pooh (Don't judge me)
5: The Aristocats
6: The Emperor's New Groove
7: Cinderella
8: Tarzan
9: The Lion King
10: Mulan

Now, why is Alice in Wonderland my most favorite? Well, I used to not really care for that movie, but after I starred in the musical adaption in 6th grade, I came to love that movie ^_^
 
Mulan is my all-time favorite Disney film. She is one bad-ass girl!
 
Alladin, Cars & Wall-e

And my all time favorite is Alice is Wonderland. Why? Because it represents alot of things. I see myself like Alice. Curious and has a crazy imagination.
 
- Aladdin
- The Lion King
- Hercules
- Mulan (my top favorite)
- Tarzan
- The Emperor's New Groove

Heh, almost all of them are from the renaissance era.
 
I'd say that, without hesitation, Fantasia is Disney's best animated feature, followed closely by Bambi. They're both so beautifully animated and wonderfully atmospheric. There's very little dialogue throughout (in Fantasia's case, the only dialogue at all is in the connecting conductor sequences), yet they're a testament to that old adage that a picture is worth a thousand words - every single frame of animation is just brimming with life, character and emotion.

An impressive thing about Fantasia in particular is the truly diverse range of material it covers - there are pure comedy segments like "Dance of the Hours", awe-inspiring ones like "The Rite of Spring", foreboding ones like "Night on Bald Mountain" and the downright abstract likes of "Toccata and Fugue", and yet it all comes together to create a perfectly cohesive whole. Once it's all over you feel like your senses have been taken on quite the journey.

Other films I'm particularly fond of include The Three Caballeros (aka Disney's trippiest animated feature, starring the magnificent Donald Duck...and what a horny little bastard he is here too), Mulan (by the time it came along, Disney had become well locked in the formulaic "epicness" which began to get kind of tiresome throughout the 90s, but this one's very disarming and besides, I'm a sucker for a good cross-dressing tale), The Fox and the Hound (arriving smack-dab in the middle of Disney's "dark age", this one tends to get overlooked, but it's a very bittersweet and charming film about friendship) and Oliver and Company (a fun, unassuming and very likeable film, plus the pure 1980s-ness really takes me back to my childhood)^^.
