Pinocchio was my first favorite Disney film.
Aladdin is the first movie I took my first date.
After that I pretty much outgrown Disney. I like Ducktales and Disney afternoon and The Mickey Mouse Club. But that was it overall.
Lion King was the last Disney anything I really liked. I think.
Oh yeah I’ve seen Dumbo not my favorite but Dumbo and Mom scene will make me cry like a bitch. Poor Dumbo and his mom. She was a good mom
Milli Vanilli, Bigger than Elvis
Quite a few of those Disney movies from those older decades I still quote occasionally, just because they're that memorable (and I love the voice cast, as they were reused quite often). Also, the messaging/mentality put into Disney movies is quite a bit different than a lot of the more recently incarnations, as recently Disney has become way more "safe" and politically trendy with some of the content than before. I suppose there can be some edgy scenes in recent Disney movies, but sometimes they feel like they're forced instead of just making a movie and letting it speak for itself.
As a general criticism, I do prefer when a movie is made for adults instead of for kids with the focus on making it a great film. I'm sure people can reminisce about films they saw as a child and loved, and once they become adults and rewatch the films they either have a new appreciation for the film because it's good as an adult... or you respond with "Wow, that was trash with a bunch of flashy things that only a child would like." Disney does a pretty good job at this, but I still feel like they add way too much obvious exposition or cater way too much for trying to get a kid to understand something that will likely still go over their heads or they won't care about for another decade. As a small example, the end of Frozen: Disney could've done well enough to have the frozen heart resolution occur with no exposition, but they just had to have Olaf provide exposition. It's minor, but those kinds of scenes add up and detract from a movie. It's a pitfall that always reminds me of the character Fouad in Family Guy who is constantly making exposition about jokes or comments/expressions to explaining them in detail... except in Family Guy it's a comedic device, in a Disney film it's catering to children who likely don't care.

“Society is endangered not by the great profligacy of a few, but by the laxity of morals amongst all.”
“It's not an endlessly expanding list of rights — the 'right' to education, the 'right' to health care, the 'right' to food and housing. That's not freedom, that's dependency. Those aren't rights, those are the rations of slavery — hay and a barn for human cattle.”

An American tale, all dogs go to heaven, lady and the tramp, 101 dalmations, all the toy stories, aladin, lion king.....those are just some of the animated movies
The Black Cauldron.
And the movie Disney is too chicken shit to re-release.
Song of the South
Just because I don't agree with you doesn't mean I support the other side.
I believe the Little Mermaid has the potential to be a visually stunning "live-action" movie.
"Auto-correct is my worst enema."
Robin hood was dark?!? What kind of sheltered ass childhood did you have? Robin Hood is a freaking technicolor unicorn farting iridescent rainbows compared to proper "dark" things like the Black Cauldron, the Secret of Nimh, or The Dark Crystal (not an animated movie, but still aimed at "kids")
Aladdin is my all time favourite.
Most disney movie tends to turn out good.
I don't get the dislike for Frozen tbh apart from the fact that anything that does amazingly well seems to have a group of people hating on it - personally I loved the message from Ana's storyling about not falling in love with the first man that comes along (aka most Disney plots).
Lilo and Stitch / Aladdin are both amazing. But the criminally underrated Emperor's New Groove is still my favourite. Yzma gives me life.
You guys got me wondering if I should watch Frozen now. (Saw the video of "Let it Go" and was mesmerized. Idina Menzel has always been an incredible talent)
