Now, I've gone Disney mad over the last few days, but oh well- which era of Disney do you like the most?

Personally, I like the Disney Renaissance the best, due to its sheer number of brilliant films (The Little Mermaid, Beauty and the Beast, Aladdin, The Lion King, Hercules...).

The Original Classics: Snow White, Pinocchio, Fantasia, Dumbo, Bambi
The Package Era: Saludos Amigos, The Three Caballeros, Make Mine Music, Fun and Fancy Free, Melody Time, The Adventures of Ichabod and Mr. Toad (I don't blame if you don't know this era)
The Neo Classics: Cinderella, Alice in Wonderland, Peter Pan, Lady and the Tramp, Sleeping Beauty
The Xerox Era: One Hundred and One Dalmations, The Sword in the Stone, The Jungle Book, The Aristocats, Robin Hood, The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh
The Dark Era: The Rescuers, The Fox and the Hound, The Black Cauldron, The Great Mouse Detective, Oliver and Company
The Disney Renaissance: The Little Mermaid, The Rescuers Down Under, Beauty and the Beast, Aladdin, The Lion King, Pocahontas, The Hunchback of Notre Dame, Hercules, Mulan, Tarzan
The Declining Era: Fantasia 2000, Dinosaur, The Emperor's New Groove, Atlantis: The Lost Empire, Lilo & Stitch, Treasure Planet, Brother Bear, Home on the Range, Chicken Little, Meet the Robinsons, Bolt
The New Age: The Princess and the Frog, Tangled, Winnie the Pooh

Sadly, I was born during the Disney Renaissance (1997), so I didn't watch any at the cinema, but I've still watched them a lot more than the ones I was lumbered with in the 00s. Thank god we're getting a second Disney Renaissance with The Princess and the Frog onwards.
 
I voted for the wrong one GAAAAAAAHH!!!! I voted for new age but I wanted Declining era...those were the movies I grew up with. My fav. animated movie is probably Treasure Planet.
 
Apparently the "Xerox Era" is my favorite, thanks to wonders of VHS. I loved the Rescuers and the Fox and the Hound, but I grew up loving and having my early tastes in reading heavily influenced by Sword and the Stone and Robin Hood.

I don't we really like the Declining Era. I like The Emperor's New Groove and Lilo & Stitch, but I like the other ones from that era because they are more traditional than the three CGI ones, which I completely despise of.

I guess I'd better explain it. For the 60s and 70s, Disney used a 'Xerox' camera to transfer drawings by animators directly to cels, eliminating the inking process.
 
As a connoisseur of classic Disney shorts, I'm a little miffed that your poll only takes the feature films into account. >;)

And I voted for the Classic Era. Objectively, I don't think that animation has ever gotten more beautiful and emotive than it did in the minimal dialogue likes of Fantasia, Dumbo and Bambi.

I didn't really think about the shorts, because I've never really seen them (I've only seen them within House of Mouse). And I agree, back in the early days, the films were much simpler and more emotional.
 
It was hard to choose, but I went with the Renaissance, because that was where my childhood was, and it did have most of the films that I love

But Oliver and Company and Aristocats made it sort of hard.
 
Call it cliche, but my vote goes for the Renassiance Era as I was born to see the rest of it after 1992.

As was I. if you take Disney as a whole, there's absolutely nothing that comes close to the 1940s era of endless streams of classic shorts, Gottfredson's Mickey Mouse newspaper strip, and Barks' duck stories.

Movies? Feh.
But yeah, 90s. Aladdin, Lion King, Hunchback, Pocahontas, Tarzan... damn they made good movies then.
 
With a lot of people here being from the late 80s to the late 90s, I guess it's no surprise that nearly everyone has the Renaissance as their favourite era. I'm annoyed as I was born in 1997 though, as I missed all of the films from the 90s when they first came out.
 
All three of my favorite Disney movies (The Lion King, Beauty and the Beast and Aladdin) fall squarely into their Renaissance, as does my childhood. Quite a few of their other films from that era are high on my list, as well, including the unmentioned Goofy Movie.

But yeah, Renaissance. It's not even close for me.
 
I voted for the Renaissance because that was when Disney released the best movies.

I only included the Disney Animated Classics so that it didn't get too complicated.
 
So many good movies to choose from, but I ended up choosing the declining era simply because of what Pixar did for Disney.
