I didn't care for "The hunchback of NotreDame". I think it's where Disney started to go wrong. I really like Aladdin... and all of the others you all mentioned. I didn't like Bambi too much either, but I was really young when I saw it, so maybe it'd be better now.

*grins* Don't feel ashamed. I'm at the library right now, and if I were to name all the Disney movies I could, (without looking around the corner at the childrens' videos section,) I don't think I'd get very many at all. Pinnochio- I think we have this movie, we just didn't watch it much. I was terrified of it. I mean, he goes from meeting the completely wrong people to all of this other stuff to the whale part. *cringes* Tarzan- My parents never bought it and I never saw it anywhere else, so, I am uneducated in the field of Tarzan. The Sword in the Stone- How could I have forgotten this movie! Gen, Airlia, and I watched it all the time! And I wasn't even scared or anything... Toy Story & Toy Story 2 & A Bug's Life- I saw all of these at other peoples' houses and on buses and things. They were okay but I never really enjoyed them. Fantasia- My brother, Laszlo, used to watch this movie. What actually happens in it? Is it just the music the whole way through? I could never get through it because it seemed too boring. I really aught to sometime though. The Jungle Book- *smiles* Fond memories with this one too. It's strange looking back and thinking about my siblings' favourite parts compared to mine. I loved the time he saw the girl gathering water, but I think everyone else loved Blue. Dumbo- Erh... I sort of remember this, I just don't think we own the movie. I know we have a Dumbo book, so maybe I was just really imaginitive and made it into a movie in my head...

Pocahontas- I used to always watch this movie. I don't even know why, because I wasn't very fond of it. I think I liked the songs and just the nature-y feel of it.
Robin Hood- Ahhhh. *sighs happily* I completely forgot about this one because my parents taped it and never actually bought it. I loved this movie. Since it didn't have a big Disney case, we'd always lose it and things, but whenever we could find it we'd watch it.
Mary Poppins- It was too boring. I don't know why it never caught our attention, though I admit that Airlia and I loved the bit about a spoonful of sugar (we ate sugar as if it were a complete substitue for food).
Bedknobs and Broomsticks- Gen loved it and Airlia and I sort of watched for her company but not because we liked the movie. Again, we thought it was too boring.
Ooh! Did anyone ever watch The Absent-minded Professor?! I forgot about it! Gen loved this movie so much, and I didn't like it when I was younger, but I liked it more and more as I grew older.

Did you ever watch the movie Flubber with Robin Williams in it? That was their "new" version of The Absent-minded Professor. The Absent-minded Professor is so much better! I hate how they do that with movies... But that's to give you an idea of what it's about.
I was always more into the animated ones too. Which is most likely why I was always bored with Mary Poppins, Bedknobs and Broomsticks, etc...

My favourite Disney movies are Aladdin (I even have the game for Sega Genesis!), Fantasia(especially the part where the fairies made everything sparkly), and The Little Mermaid(Gabi- It's a dinglehopper!). These are the only Disney movies that I can watch over and over and over and not get bored. I hate Mary Poppins. It's so boring! The only cool part was when that one guy started dancing with the penguins, and thats only because I love penguins...
*EDIT*- I forgot The Sword In The Stone! hehe I love when they turn into squirrels! thats so great...And the scary lady who gets polka dots on her face (I think thats what happened)

And I'm not repeating anymore how much a love "The Little Mermaid". Yeah, "It's a dinglehopper"....and what was the name of the other? Oh yeah, "Snarfblat".

My god, whenever I go over to Fox's house, all we do is sit down and watch Disney movies. It's quite sad really.
Robin Hood- I used to watch it all the time. I loved the Rooster bard and the Storybook Opening/Chase scene. Who couldn't love the wolf Sheriff of Nottingham?
The Hunchback of Notre Dame- It's a classic in my eyes because of the songs. Is it just me or is it sorta of the first Mature themed Disney movie, with hornier-than-Ron-Jeremy Phoebus and creepy Frollo lusting after Esmeralda and all. The clown Clopin is TEH BEST CHARACTER EVER. It's all about the puppets, man.
Alice in Wonderland- Another classic. Gotta love that Chesire Cat.
Mulan- It was pretty funny, but not one of my favourites. Cute songs.
Emperor's New Groove- At first I thought it was going to blow, but it turned out to be one of the most hilarious movies I've ever watched. I normally don't like David Spade either. *gasp* My spinach puffs!
Lion King 2: Simba's Pride- Freakin' awful, but I liked the Andy Dick voiced lion, Nuka. Whoever came up with the "Upendi" song needs to DIE.
Jungle Book- Awesome. I used to quote the vultures (What do you wanna do? I dunno, what do you wanna do?) with my friend, driving my mother up the wall.

I liked Mulan--finally a Disney movie with a strong woman in the lead role..
I like a lot of the old Disney stuff--does anyone remember this one about a scarecrow--a minister who dressed like one, anyway--in England who fought the British? It was so neat--and Swamp Fox was a good one, too. I can still sing the Swamp Fox tune...

The Hunchback of Notre Dame- It's a classic in my eyes because of the songs. Is it just me or is it sorta of the first Mature themed Disney movie, with hornier-than-Ron-Jeremy Phoebus and creepy Frollo lusting after Esmeralda and all. The clown Clopin is TEH BEST CHARACTER EVER. It's all about the puppets, man. Yiss Yiss. I love the "Hunchback of Notre Dame" too, not just because of the songs but because of the whole drama it envolved. I think Disney only started to suck with "Dinosaur" and "Tarzan" (I only like the drawings...Jane is lovely, Tarzan's hair is cute and the waterfalls are , the movie itself is no big thing). About "The Hunchback....", I don't know why but I love it. I think Disney tried to reach an older public with that movie, because it's message and it's story and all isn't properly for the same public as "The Sword in the Stone", for example. And it reached me. When I saw it on theaters a whole bunch of years ago I thought it was pretty boring, but now I love it. I love that song "Out There" (sorta the same with "Part Of That World" from the Little Mermaid), and yeah that clown is AWESOME!!
I just love the opening scene/song. With all the clouds and then suddenly the towers of Notre Dame appear and that hugely dramatic music starts and then..."Morning in Paris, the city awakes to the bells of Notre Dame, The fisherman fishes, the bakerman bakes to the bells of Notre Dame...to the big bells as loud as the thunder to the little bell soft as a pslam and some say the soul of the city's the toll of the bells...the bells of Notre Dame". I have the CD in English...and the VHS in Portuguese. But the Portuguese voice actor who dubs Clopin is one of my favourite Pt voice actors (he also dubs Timon's voice, and I LOVE Timon). Esmeralda is one of the prettiest Disney female characters (next to a whole amount of others, but she's on the list, that's what counts) and that scene when Notre Dame's in flames and the gargoyles start to sort of...throw lava from their heads if wonderful. And Frollo's English voice scares me.
I don't like Alice in Wonderland just because of that cat. He really really SCARES ME.I'm afraid of only 2 Disney characters: that cat and Snow White's stepmother, when she turns into an old lady. Everytime I watch that movie I keep on having visions of white bright eyes in the dark. Same with the cat. That "C" smile is always around me. And I already said this but sometimes the moon assumes a shape that is exactly the cat's smile when it starts to glow in the dark. I just hate those nights.

I think everyone here has gotten equally freaked out by Snow White. Not only did the movie scare me when I was little, but the ride at Disneyland was nightmare invoking.

That's why Snow White is one of the Disney Movies I don't know by heart. ;D Only watched it 3 times, if not less. There are ones I only watched 1 time, like "Pinnochio" and "Dumbo".
OK, so I rented "Alice in Wonderland". I'm trying...trying to see it again, see if I like it best. But just the thought of the Chessna cat makes me want to leave the tape away from this house. I know I'm having nightmares with that smile glowing in my head *shivers*
