Hi! This is an updated article about my favorite Disney Movies. I made an original list before on here a few months back, but it is now quite a bit outdated!!! So now, I have come to make a new article. This time, it will only be my ten favorite Disney Movies, with five honorable mentions at the end.
So now, onto my top ten favorite Disney Movies!
10. The Aristocats
While often labeled as one of the lesser Disney Classics, I heartily disagree with this assessment. It is an enjoyable, comedic flick that is lighthearted and fun. I like to think of it as a cross of Lady and the Tramp and 101 Dalmatians with a feel of the 1970's Classics from Disney. I love parts of the score of this music, and itis generally very upbeat. While it is not Disney's Magnum Opus in my opinion, it is still one of Disney's funnest pictures in my opinion.
Who I'd Recommend it For: Anyone who wants a comedic flick and is a fan of Lady and the Tramp, 101 Dalmatians, or any of the other 1970's Disney films.
9. The Hunchback of Notre Dame
Like The Aristocats, this is a movie that I think fails to get the attention it deserves. The Hunchback of Notre Dame has completely stunning animation, with excellent songs to go along with it. The emotion of this movie is very strong, and the movie is generally excellent, even though it would normally be a bit dark for my tastes. The score is perfect work, and the wide variety of characters in this movie do a great job in making this movie stand out.
Who I'd Recommend it For: Not the younger crowd, mostly for 10+ Disney fans due to dark parts in the movie. I'd recommend it to anyone who wants a visually stunning film with lots of morals.
8. The Little Mermaid
This is a very-well done Disney movie, and there are plenty of great things to say about it. The songs in this movie are generally very entertaining, and I really like the ambition of Ariel and how she goes through her numerous difficulties in this movie. I also really love the other characters here too, Prince Eric is so sweet and Flounder is just downright adorable! I really also love the scenery of this movie- the beautiful ocean and the luscious kingdom of Prince Eric are wonders for the eyes.
Who I'd Recommend it For: Basically I'd recommend this to anyone who enjoys Disney. This is a more well-known Disney masterpiece and should be seen by the Disney enthusiasts. I'd also recommend it to anyone who likes the Disney Princesses.
7. The Lion King
The Lion King will always be a movie I have a soft spot for, as it was my favorite movie when I was younger. And it is a beautiful movie- the animation in this movie is gorgeous, this movie is easily Disney's most epic in my opinion, and the songs are generally wondrous. And this movie has a true circle for the movie's amazingly cute lead (well as a cub at least). I just love everything about this movie.
Who I'd Recommend it For: Again, this is a more well-known Disney film, so most Disney enthusiasts should see this. I would not recommend kids under 5 for it though because of Mufasa's death. I'd recommend it for pretty much anyone who wants to watch a Disney epic.
6. Cinderella
One of Disney's most well-known movies is also in my opinion one of the best. This movie is just beautiful, and the plot is wonderful... Cinderella's miserable life in the beginning is so improved upon by the end of the movie I just have to wear an enormous grin on my face. Cinderella is just a perfect character in her movie, with her dreamy and hopeful attitude.
Who I'd Recommend it For: Most Disney fans would like this, particularly fans of the older animated movies. I'd also recommend seeing this after a really frightening movie or after a really stressful day- this is a good movie to calm down with and enjoy.
5. 101 Dalmatians
Disney's first classic in the 1960's is one of my favorites. This movie has a wide variety of emotions shown in this treasure- there are comedic moments at Hell Hall, sad parenting moments, multiple moments of relief and worry, and a whole boatload of angry moments mostly coming from the delightfully disgusting Cruella De Vil. This movie is just pretty much a rollercoaster of feelings, and Pongo and Perdy have plenty of adventure in it!
Who I'd Recommend it For: Someone who wants to watch a perilous adventure, but that has a lot of comedic parts to it. Generally I'd recommend to most Disney fans.
4. Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs
This is one of my very favorite Disney films. I like the wondrous vintage animation, great songs, and a simple but workable plot. And of course Snow White herself... she is so adorable. And even though it has many dark parts with the witch, this movie generally manages to keep a somewhat happy tone. This movie is one of Disney's finest works in my opinion.
Who I'd Recommend it For: Fans of Disney's older animation, the Disney Princesses, and basically anyone who wants to see a historically significant film should see this. Also I would recommend this for fairy-tale lovers.
3. Alice in Wonderland
Alice in Wonderland is just one word: special. There isn't one other Disney Classic like it at all, with its brilliant bold colors used throughout the film and the completely nonsensical characters from Wonderland. This movie is really funny in my opinion, because it is just so random! I can relate to Alice a lot at times... sometimes I just want to go off into a world of my own.
Who I'd Recommend it For: Anybody who wants a bit of nonsense in their lives.
1. Beauty and the Beast and Lady and the Tramp (tie)
All right, now we get to the end of my list... and I have to say that there is now a tie here for my favorite Disney movie. Both of these movies are so good in my opinion!
Beauty and the Beast is a visually stunning masterpiece. I love the songs, and the atmosphere in many places of the movie is breathttaking. The score is just... well, it's so good!!! And the plot is very interesting in my opinion. I love the Beast's round character that separates him from most of Disney's other princes! Overall, while this movie does get a lot of attention, I think it certainly deserves the praise.
Lady and the Tramp is just a very, very, nice movie. Bella Notte is now becoming my favorite Disney song as I write this article- it's just very happy, sweet, and just downright beautiful. I love the excellent vintage animation that this movie has, and the score has certain tidbits that I really love in it. Lady's adventures in this movie are quite enjoyable to watch, whether going to the zoo or chasing chickens! I think this is a fantastic Disney film.
Who I'd Recommend Beauty and the Beast For: Disney fans above age 5, and pretty much most people. Also anyone who wants a large amount of character development and a large amount of songs.
Who I'd Recommend Lady and the Tramp For: All Disney fans basically, but particularly older ones. I'd also recommend this for imaginative people, those who love the Bella Notte atmposphere, and also to serve as a holiday treat.
So overall, these are my two favorite Disney films!
Honorable Mentions
Sleeping Beauty (11th), Peter Pan (12th), Bambi (13th), Oliver and Company (14th), Pinocchio (15th)
