What is "Classic Disney?"

posted by DarkSarcasm

Ah, the question that everyone who has stumbled upon this spot has surely asked themselves. It's been asked in poll form multiple times. There have been many discussions on the subject.

The spot motto defines a Disney Classic as "anything before the Pixar era", making the cutoff 1996, when Toy Story premiered.

Most of the picks/polls about the subject have Pocahontas (1995) or Tarzan (1998) in the lead.

Some fans believe that only the films on the official list of Disney Animated Classics are true classics.

Truth is, there is no definite answer, because a Disney Classic means something different...

Marsupilami

posted by BuddyBoy600alt

This article is about my favorite Disney cartoon show. It's about this crazy yellow, spotted, long-tail marsupial that lives in the jungle. His name is Marsupilami. He lives with his purple gorilla friend: Maurice. Marsupilami can do anything with his long-tail. And his enemy is Norman. Marsupilami can speak (and he does not only say "HOUBA!") Maurice is a silent character. He is a purple gorilla in a pink shirt. Now, You might remember this Saturday Morning series Disney did that aired NBC-TV in 1992 called "Raw Toonage." Now, Raw Toonage was a variety animated show. It was hosted by various Disney characters. And you have three shorts such as: Bonkers, Totally Tasteless Videos, and my favorite one: Marsupilami. I always love this Disney character. He is so awesome. And I love Steve Mackall (The voice of Marsupilami).

my top 25 favorite animated disney movies (part 1)

25. The Nightmare Before Christmas
Probably one of the most twisted Christmas movies ever invented. Seriously? When i was little, Jack scared the crap out of me. As I've gotten older i have learned to respect the genius that is the Nightmare Before Christmas, mixing Christmas into Halloween while subtly conveying a message about stereotypes and the damage they can do, but i will forever remember cowering in fear when Christmas/Halloween rolled around. (is it weird that the boogie man never scared me? ...thought so.)

Ive got to say it: Disney has guts. Taking...

“Realistic” body image better portrayed through a fairy than a human?

posted by PiiXiiE

Now this is just my point of view, but I find it a little bit ironic that one of the most realistically portrayed Disney females comes in the shape of a pixie! When it comes to typical proportions, the average woman can more easily identify with a winged sprite?! I mean, not everybody has a beautiful hourglass figure! Having somebody who is a little bottom-heavy is comforting.

While Tinker Bell does have a super-skinny waist, she is the only Disney female I have seen whose lower body is not exactly proportionate to her upper body.

Stuck

When I realized this, it made me feel so much better...

sweetie-94's Top 3 Saddest Disney Moments

posted by sweetie-94

There are many scenes in Disney movies that makes me cry, but I don't really have a list of where they are except for these three moments, I've always founded these moments to be the saddest. Now I did forgot some famous sad moments, but these moments are quite well known so I hope you won't feel too disappointed over that I forgot some moments and also this is my first article here so feedback is appreciated.

3. Dumbo visits his mother
It was wrong to lock in Dumbo's mother in jail just because she tried to protect him from those kids that bullied him for his big ears. This scene makes me sad...

Disney Princesses

posted by housefrk

There’s been a lot of discrepancy of late surrounding the Disney princesses, namely Mulan and Pocahontas, whether or not they should be princesses. I’m not here to debate whether or not they should be (though I think they should be). I’m here to add a couple more names to that list, the first one being Magara.

Hercules is the son of Zeus, who’s sort of the king of the gods, so Hercules is a prince. Shouldn’t that make Magara a princess? It’s kind of one of those fine lines, like Pocahontas, the daughter of a chief, and Mulan, the wife of a general, but I think if you’re going...

Fun and Fancy Free - A Review

posted by deltabannermen

A Disney Tale: Jiminy Cricket introduces two tales - Bongo the Bear (a slightly disturbing tale of love in the bear community) and Mickey and the Beanstalk (a Disney version of the well-known fairytale).

Disney Hero: With two 'films' in this package feature we have two main heroes. First up is Bongo. Bongo is a circus bear who runs away to the forest and meets the love of his life. Bongo never speaks in his film. He is dressed in a jacket, bow tie and hat and runs the full gamut of emotions. In the second film, we have three 'heroes' - Mickey, Donald and Goofy who all fulfill the role of Jack...

Pinocchio

posted by deltabannermen

A Disney Tale: A poor woodcutter, Geppetto, wishes on a star that his wooden puppet boy could be alive. A blue fairy grants his wish and the puppet, Pinocchio, is given life. On a series of adventures, he learns about right and wrong on his journey to becoming a real, human boy.

Disney Heroine: There is no real 'heroine' in this story and in fact, the only female characters are the Blue Fairy and Cleo the fish.

Disney Hero: Pinocchio is the 'hero' of the story, in as much as he is the main character. His heroic actions, though, don't really occur until the final act of the film where is saves...

Things You Can Learn From Disney Heroines

posted by EmilyELewis

The Disney Princesses, merely a few of the Disney heroines

A lot of people say that the Disney heroines are bad influences on girls for a variety of reasons: they "teach girls that beauty is most important" and "you need a man to be happy" and "females always have to be damsels in distress" and plenty more of the like. I disagree. Disney heroines can teach all of us plenty of important lessons.

1. Be Yourself Despite the World's Opinion
A lot of the Disney heroines didn't really fit into the norms of their society, but they never changed to fit into their communities better. Eventually, that would prove to be a very good thing.

Examples:
*Ariel, who...

Ass-Kissing Pixar- ITS GETTING OLD

posted by Persephone713

I cant take it anymore. Just cant. PIXAR is not the almighty everything of cartoon animation. I grew up with the Walt Disney era and Renaissance era classics, NO COMPUTER animation. Yet every single fricken animated movie that comes out today, is compared to PIXAR, or god forbid ( The Lion King) which is also severely overrated. I don't hate PIXAR, or Lion King, BUT I do hate that other animated movies that get released that are just as enjoyable, or more in my opinion are always compared. OR that the classics I grew up are now forgotten because everything is PIXAR. NO...Disney is King and...

In order to meet her again, Z switches sides with his soldier friend Weaver - only to become a hero in the course of events. By this he unwillingly crosses the sinister plans of ambitious...

Remembering Bob Hoskins (1942-2014)

posted by BuddyBoy600alt

This just in. The British actor who played Eddie Valiant in Disney's "Who Framed Roger Rabbit?" has died. He was at age 71. Bob Hoskins was one of my favorite actor in this Disney film. Roger Rabbit will never be the same without you, Eddie Valiant. Other roles that Bob Hoskins played was Mario Mario in the Super Mario Bros. Movie. In 2012, He went to retirement from Parkinson's disease and died from Pneumonia on April of 2014. R.I.P. Bob Hoskins (1942-2014) You will be missed :'(

sweetie-94's Top 3 Favorite Disney Characters

posted by sweetie-94

Like with the saddest Disney Moments it's hard to come up with a list of my favorite Disney Characters, these 3 are the only ones I'm sure about so here we go :)

3. Tigger
I've loved him ever since I was a child, he always makes me laugh and feel better, I'm basing my rank mainly on The Many Adventures Of Winnie The Pooh since it's a classic, but I love him in the later movies too. I love how he doesn't want to stop bouncing around despite the fact that Rabbit wants to stop him from doing it. My favorite scene is when he meets Pooh for the first time, it always makes me laugh. It makes me happy...
