![]() | Beauty and the Beast (Special Platinum Edition)
Buy used from: $20.99 Disney's best, period. Amazing range of songs, from higly emotional to funny and entertaining. Each moment and every character is fully realized. The animation is top-notch. It also has the key Disney element, a great villain.
|
![]() | Fantasia (Special 60th Anniversary Edition)
Buy used from: $39.86 Historically, it's the crowning achievement for Walt and the entire studio, it might also be the crowning achievement in all of animation. Never have the aural and visual experiences been so perfectly melted together.
|
![]() | Pinocchio (Disney Gold Classic Collection)
Buy used from: $12.33 Perfect blend of dark and light. Most of the main protagonists from Disney movies are awfully bland, but Pinocchio has so much enthusiasm and ambition that you cannot help but love him.
|
![]() | Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (Disney Special Platinum Edition)
Buy used from: $8.43 Disney's first and still one of the best.
|
![]() | Peter Pan (2-Disc Platinum Edition)
Buy used from: $11.99 Watched as a kid and did not watch again until I was 20. I was completely shocked by how well-rounded this film is.
|
![]() | The Little Mermaid (Two-Disc Platinum Edition)
Buy used from: $13.90 Ariel ranks alongside Pinocchio and Belle as one of the studio's best protoganists. Three of my favorite Disney songs are found in this movie. This movie probably broke more ground than any Disney film outside of "Snow White".
|
![]() | Alice in Wonderland (Masterpiece Edition)
Buy used from: $12.85 Trippy is probably the best way to describe this film. Every pothead's favorite Disney movie. Funny but a little too dark.
|
![]() | Dumbo (Big Top Edition)
Buy used from: $19.74 Gets the most out of its premise with very few words. It's "Bambi" with better songs.
|
![]() | Bambi (2-Disc Special Platinum Edition)
Buy used from: $12.29 Visually captivating and emotionally resonant. It tends to drag a bit in the middle.
|
![]() | The Jungle Book (40th Anniversary Platinum Edition)
Buy new: $19.99 / Used from: $11.14 Terrific songs, especially "Wanna Be Like You". Phil Harris is amazing in this film.
|
![]() | 101 Dalmatians (Two-Disc Platinum Edition)
Buy new: $19.99 / Used from: $13.96 Great villain and some really good light comedy.
|
![]() | The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh (25th Anniversary Edition)
Buy used from: $14.50 Three awesome segments, each of which would have made a great feaure length film. This film gave us the right to say that "WE LUV POOH!"
|
![]() | The Lion King (Disney Special Platinum Edition)
Buy used from: $18.97 Fantastic visuals and some fine comedic moments courtesy of the supporting players. The dark and light do not seem to blend as well as they do in Disney's best efforts.
|
![]() | Aladdin (Disney Special Platinum Edition)
Buy used from: $8.29 Great performance by Robin Williams and terrific songs. Some really entertaining supporting characters, but the leads are so bland.
|
![]() | Fantasia 2000
Buy used from: $8.99 Fantastic follow-up to the original, unfortunately it comes about 40 years too late. They should have done it at the height of jazz in the 60's, using the music of Thelonious Monk, Miles Davis, Duke Ellington, Herbie Hancock, and others.
|
![]() | Tarzan (Special Edition)
Buy new: $17.99 / Used from: $9.95 Light and entertaining. Ain't nuthin' wrong with that.
|
![]() | Sleeping Beauty (Two-Disc Platinum Edition)
Buy new: $19.49 / Used from: $8.23 Main plot doesn't kick in for awhile and the songs are really bland, but when the prince's adventure kicks in the film really takes off.
|
![]() | The Adventures of Ichabod and Mr. Toad (Disney Gold Classic Collection)
Buy new: $15.49 / Used from: $6.99 Two really great segments. Each stands on its own as a classic. On the list of greatest rebels Mr. Toad follows only James Dean, Randal P., and Cool Hand Luke.
|
![]() | The Emperor's New Groove - The New Groove Edition
Buy new: $22.49 / Used from: $13.28 Patrick Waterburton is the man. He's been Puddy, Brock, Krunk, and The Tick; there are also his stints on "Family Guy" and "Newsradio". He steals this film, altough Spade has his moments.
|
![]() | Lady and the Tramp (50th Anniversary Edition)
Buy used from: $11.88 Solid film with some memorable scenes. It retains a lot of "Bambi"'s painterly qualities, but again it tends to get boring midway through.
|
![]() | The Aristocats (Special Edition)
Buy new: $14.99 / Used from: $10.99 Underrated, jazz-infuzed film. Very entertaining.
|
![]() | The Great Mouse Detective
Buy used from: $29.89 The first step in the right direction for Disney, after the rank efforts of "The Rescuers", "Fox and the Hound", and "Black Cauldron". Vincent Price is perfect in the role of the villain.
|
![]() | Cinderella (Two-Disc Special Edition)
Buy used from: $15.99 For all the criticism the mice receive, I got say I prefer to watch them. The character of Cinderella is really standard issue and I don't find her to be very interesting.
|
![]() | Treasure Planet
Buy new: $14.49 / Used from: $2.59 The film looks great and it does a good job of re-imagining the world without mucking up the story. Not ver well received. Much better when compared to "Brother Bear" and "Home on the Range".
|
![]() | The Rescuers Down Under (Disney Gold Classic Collection)
Buy new: $16.49 / Used from: $4.99 The same creepy feeling can be felt resonating through this story that was found in the original. However, fantastic animation and a great performance by John Candy save this movie.
|
![]() | Robin Hood (Most Wanted Edition)
Buy new: $19.99 / Used from: $16.00 Engaging, yet hollow representation of the classic story. Seems pointless when compared to "The Adventures of Robin Hood", but it significantly trumps "Prince of Thieves".
|
![]() | Pocahontas (10th Anniversary Edition)
Buy new: $14.99 / Used from: $12.00 Solid if not spectacular effort.
|
![]() | Atlantis - The Lost Empire
Buy new: $17.49 / Used from: $2.73 Gets a bad wrap, but I like Fox and I like this movie.
|
![]() | The Sword in the Stone (45th Anniversary Special Edition)
Buy new: $19.99 / Used from: $12.54 Pretty good movie, altough it was a big dip from "Jungle Book". You cannot help but compare the two films because their stories are so similar. What is the deal with the different voices for Arthur? The kid voice changes, noticably, more than once during the course of the film.
|
![]() | Lilo & Stitch
Buy used from: $2.44 The Hawaiian atmosphere and Elvis raise this film above the level of mediocre.
|
![]() | Mulan (Special Edition)
Buy new: $14.99 / Used from: $8.48 Not too far removed from Pocohantas.
|
![]() | Oliver & Company (Special Edition)
Buy new: $24.49 / Used from: $4.60 Not bad but also not great.
|
![]() | The Hunchback of Notre Dame
Buy new: $16.49 / Used from: $9.10 I have only seen this once and I don't remember a single thing. So, that's it.
|
![]() | The Fox and the Hound (25th Anniversary Edition)
Buy new: $20.99 / Used from: $13.69 I loved this movie as a little boy, but when I watched it more recently I fell asleep. The mother's death affected me as a child, but now it passes by in a wink. The songs are awful and the main villain is unbearable. The only thing that saves this film is the bear fight.
|
![]() | Hercules (Disney Gold Classic Collection)
Buy new: $10.49 / Used from: $9.24 Visuals don't compare to the films that came immediately before and after it. Danny Devito's character is just grating. I like the touch of the singers, but that's about it.
|
![]() | The Rescuers
Buy new: $10.49 / Used from: $8.00 One of Disney's worst looking films, ironically its sequel is one of the best looking. The villain is a cheap and transparent attempt to knock off one of their own characters. The whole story with the little girl just feels creepy.
|
![]() | The Black Cauldron (Disney Gold Classic Collection)
Buy used from: $34.97 Never seen it, but judging by the critical and commercial reaction it's probably not great.
|
![]() | The Brave Little Toaster
Buy new: $15.99 / Used from: $13.69 Only significant because it was John Lasseter's first feature with the studio. There is a lot to be said for the connections between this lousy film and the wonderful "Toy Story".
|
![]() | Brother Bear (2-Disc Special Edition)
Buy new: $19.99 / Used from: $3.09 Boring and unnecessary.
|
![]() | Home on the Range
Buy new: $16.49 / Used from: $2.31 Never gonna watch it.
