Ditto that.

Toy Story 2 is okay.

I detest anything they have come out with direct to video. Why don't they just admit it. They've come up with an idea they didn't want to spend any real money on, so it's just a throwaway piece of garbage they think we'll automatically snap up like cattle? I won't stand for that sort of contemptuous attitude.

I'm a huge animation fan, so just about any of the "old" movies are fine by me.

Hey, while we're on the movie subject, does anyone remember the live action Nature type films Walt used to do? Nature's Half Acre, etc? A friend of mine's father used to either direct or do cinematography for those.

Faves... The movies from the Second Golden Age... Mermaid, Lion King, Aladdin, Beauty and the Beast.

Hated: Black Cauldron, Anything 2 (Toy Story 2 was Pixar, not Disney), Hunchback

Pocahauntus was lifted just above "hated" by the couple good songs. Mulan is right down there near the bottom.

I was very disappointed by Emperor's New Groove first time I saw it. The best parts had been overshown in trailers, and the humor isn't exactly my cup of tea.... Well, not when I'm dropping $30+ for a family of 5 to go see it in the theater.... Rental for $4.... suddenly it is much better.

Atlantis also has to be right down there at the bottom.

I liked Treasure Planet, but it came out in the middle of some real stinkers so most people seemed to have overlooked it. Also, the ending was a bit weak and Morph was too annoying for words.... Sweet like trying to eat 5 lbs of sugar. But the look and feel was over the top great.

I simply didn't care enough about Brother Bear or Home on the Range to really feel much one way or the other. Like eating a rice cake... Doesn't taste bad and doesn't taste good, mostly becuase it has no taste at all and by the time those came out I wasn't really expecting much flavor anyway.

Disney Animation has certainly gone in waves.

Like the Cubs fans... Next one may be the big hit that breaks the curse and makes everything okay again. They finally got their win. I hope we don't have to wait 86 years from 1994's Lion King.

pessimism isn't very happy. Besides, those "stinkers" as you so lightly put it happen to include lilo and stitch, which is simply one of the best origional ideas Disney has ever had.

**quasimodo1384** · 02-17-2005, 02:56 PM

I love them all!! My favorites are Alice in Wonderland, Aristocats, and Jungle Book

I never really WANTED to see Black Cauldron...and Dinosaur.

I can't say I've been thrilled with anything since Mulan (they've just took all the music out...and no, Phil Collins doesn't count in my book)...although I did LOVE Lilo and Stitch.

**erobbspike** · 02-17-2005, 03:04 PM

All time favorite: Sleeping Beauty!!

I HATE The Lion King and Snow White!

It was my understanding that Toy Story 2 was originally planned as straight-to-video, but they realized they actually had something pretty darn good.

As for me, can't say I really hate any movies (except straight-to-video garbage), but Atlantis was quite forgettable.

Hate the Lion King? Blasphemy!!!!

Snow White??? Come on... Yes, the story gets weak toward the end.... But it is the FIRST. It can't be judged by later standards. Compare the look and feel of that "cartoon" to all that came before it. Snow White was Renaissance art come to life....

**TNTigger** · 02-17-2005, 03:38 PM

Best: Aladdin, Emperor's New Groove, Toy Story 2
Worst: Aladdin: Return of Jafar, Bother Bear

My biggest problem with the Lion King was that Simba's uncle killed his father and the viewer saw his father fall off the cliff. And the songs were really annoying.

Snow White sucks because she is the biggest wimp in the Disney vault. Belle could whoop her butt anyday! I agree that the movie was ground breaking, but I cannot stand to watch it.

Why can't Disney annimated films have a little drama? Heck, even Bambi's mom died. Come to think of it, most Disney movies has some sort of real devistating plot lines...
