My Top 15 Favorite Walt Disney Movies

Original Meme by

The earlier one had 2 choices I liked, but weren't honestly my favorites. In English, I didn't have fun watching those, but THESE Disney movies on the other hand WERE fun! I hope you don't hold it against me for these choices...

THIS time, my list consists of not only the regular Disney movies, but the co-opt movies that Disney worked in...

1. The Little Mermaid ~ This film, Bambi, Pinocchio, and Beauty and the Beast were the first Disney films I remember seeing in my childhood. Ariel's voice and character were inspiring and wonderful, and the fact that Phillip was a good man was a great bonus! Ursula was also by far the most memorable villain I've seen, scheming to overthrow Ariel's overprotective father and hurting the heroine by taking her man, THAT was cold!

2. The Great Mouse Detective ~ This was one of the first 'dark' Disney movies I've seen were the story revolved around mystery and crime. Basil was a hilarious and brilliant parody/homage to Sherlock Holmes, and Professor Rattigan was as awesome as Ursula, he was just psychotically brutal in the chase and final battle!

3. Ducktales The Movie: Treasure of the Lost Lamp ~ I saw a few episodes of Ducktales, but I didn't understand much of what was happening, and when the movie came, I was intrigued by it! The story had me jumping off the edge of my seat, and Scrooge proved how tough old people can be when pushed against a corner. Give special thanks to Christopher Lloyd for lending his voice to the cruel shape-shifting Merlock!

4. Beauty & The Beast ~ Inner beauty, the plot of a story can be very meaningful and heart-wrenching when explained in a story about a selfish prince who encountered someone who brought out his inner kindness. Belle's role as the main hero taught me how we shouldn't think so lowly of others, and that they can accomplish more than someone like Gaston, who was a REAL asshole.

5. The Hunchback of Notre Dame ~ This is another movie that shows inner beauty. Poor Quasimodo was raised by the perverted and cruel Frollo to believe the outside world was terrifying, but a chance encounter with bad-ass gypsy, Esmerelda, helped him open up to the world and everyone around him, including Phoebus, who was my favorite character in the film. Quasimodo's rebellion against Frollo is STILL one of the best Disney moments to me to date.

6. Aladdin ~ This movie was silly, funny, hilarious, unbelievable, and oh-so-exciting! Sure, I didn't really have the same feeling with this as I did with Little Mermaid & B&B, but this movie was great none-the-less thanks to a random, yet, magical (and I mean MAGICAL) Genie, who played both the best friend AND parental guidance to thief-turned-hero, Aladdin. Jasmine also presented a character not bound to the rules, which was just as fun, and the duo, Jafar & Iago, were legendary in they're own right.

7. Sleeping Beauty ~ I saw this movie sometime after I saw the GMD, and the detail, the music, the characters, they all almost made me forget Cinderella and Pinocchio! The villain, Maleficent, made a grand entrance by laughing off comments against her then putting a death-curse on a small baby girl, THAT was evil in another level! The escape scene was pretty neat to, as it ended with a duel to the death with a black dragon of unbelievable power! I also liked the kins in this movie, they were fun!

8. Toy Story ~ I'm sure you all know by now, but this is the first fully computer animated movie done by Disney, courtesy of the masterminds of Pixar! There was no usual magic, but this film introduced to us the daily lives of toys who-when left alone-come to life! Woody starts off as this shmuck who wants to be in charge and the favorite toy, but when his successor, Buzz Lightyear, realizes his just an object, Woody helps Buzz and tells him he's a good toy, making their friendship memorable.

9. Tangled ~ I'll NEVER stop loving the classical method of animation, but as far as new directions go, Tangled was a good attempt. Rapunzel is a hottie kept in a tower because of her crazy foster mother who wants to stay young (paging Dante of FMA 2003), but suddenly, a realistic jack-ass named Flinn Ryder, pops in and is persuaded by the curious girl to see the lanterns, sent by her REAL parents. Their bond makes friendship between guys & dolls as natural and cool as bros and gal-pals.

10. Fantasia ~ This isn't a movie per-say, but to this day, it's Walt Disney's greatest masterpieces! There's no plot, just a symphony that tells several stories! The Sorcerer's Apprentice has been Mickey Mouse's attempt at becoming memorable to the lovers of animation and it has succeeded! The Nutcracker Suite, Pastoral Symphony, Dance of the Hours, One Night in Bald Mountain and Ave Maria are magical and outstanding, and that's saying a lot!

11. Wreck-It-Ralph ~ Video game movies, past and future make an attempt to bring out a fan's interest, but I highly doubt they will be as effective as Wreck-It-Ralph, which combined characters from SEGA, Capcom, and Nintendo in one awesome film! The story focuses on a 'villain' named Ralph, who wants a better life, and risks his friendship with Fix-it Felix to gain a medal and obtain recognition! But when he meets a 'glitch' named Van                                          nnnnnnnnnellope, Ralph starts to understand what makes a hero...

12. A Goofy Movie ~ Now THIS was a funny movie! Goofy is a single father who tries to have a better relationship with his distant son, who has just fallen in love with Roxane, a cute but good-hearted girl in his school. The two set out on a Country-wide trip to some lake and start to learn more about what makes a father want to pull his son out of his own world, because he wants his son to know that no matter how big he gets, he'll always be his son.

13. Mulan ~ Sally Acorn, Wonder Woman, Elisa Maza, and Sakura Kinomoto set the stages for Female Heroes, and it was HIGH TIME a warrior woman became a main protagonist for a Disney Movie. Enter Mulan, the daughter of a War Hero, who risks flipping the world's perspective of women to save her father from dying in a war with the looming army of Huns, led by the unstoppable Shan Yu. Eddie Murphy was a risky addition to the movie, but the story and characters were phenomenal. 

14. A Bug's Life ~ After Toy Story, Pixar would need a sister project to keep up the Disney-X-Pixar love, and it was a revolutionary ploy to display the private lives of toys. So what next? Bugs. And Disney/Pixar provided the perfect plot: An ant colony is harassed constantly by an army of grasshoppers, led by the merciless Hopper, willing to kill even his own to get recognition as the Alpha. One ant outcast however, Flick, sets out to find bugs capable of fighting off a hoard of invaders.

15. Monsters Inc. ~ A unbelievable setting with a strong story about monster who scar-but fear-children to harness the power of their screams. James P. Sullivan is one of those monsters until he is caught by a tiny toddler he dubs 'Boo'. The little girl brings out a protective side in Sully that makes him see how wrong he and the other monsters were. Alongside his best friend, Mike Wazowski, Sully tries to keep Boo safe from a secret plot to kidnap the children of Earth...
