1. Cinderella **17. The Emperor’s New Groove** I’ve never understand the _Cinderella_ as a classic thing. Bland, passive heroine, even blander and more passive love interest, incomprehensible sidekicks, weak songs (“A Dream is a Wish Your Heart Makes” is a pretty song; the rest of them are agony). I just don’t buy it. 1. 101 Dalmatians **9. Lilo and Stitch** _Lilo and Stitch_ is my daughter’s favorite Disney movie, so it has a special place in my heart, at least. **4. Sleeping Beauty** 13. Dumbo _Sleeping Beauty_ illustrates my point about _Cinderella_. The heroine is not quite as bland and passive as Cinderella. The villain is incredibly memorable visually and as a character. The three Good Fairies were fun and more interesting than those loathsome mice. And the music is by Tchaikovsky. **5. The Little Mermaid** 21. The Jungle Book Easy. **2. Beauty and the Beast** 18. Robin Hood Spoiler: **Beauty and the Beast** wins my bracket. There’s never been a better. **26. Fantasia** 10. Pinocchio Toughest call yet, but in a hundred years, most people won’t know much about Disney’s Pinocchio; they will still look at images of Mickey Mouse in the hat with the brooms. 1. Aladdin **19. Peter Pan** But only because I have a weakness for these characters in any incarnation. I even liked _Hook_. 1. Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs **11. The Lion King** This is the toughest call of them all. ---

Don’t know how I managed to miss this one, but better late than never! 1. The Emperor’s New Groove 2. 101 Dalmatians 3. Sleeping Beauty 4. The Little Mermaid 5. Beauty and the Beast 6. Fantasia 7. Aladdin 8. The Lion King Hmm…definite preference for the newer stuff, here. I know it’s probably some sort of mouse-related heresy, but I’ve never been much of a fan of old Disney animated movies. ---

Ironically, for me, this round had -no- tough choices. 17. The Emperor’s New Groove 1. Lilo and Stitch 2. Dumbo 3. The Jungle Book 4. Robin Hood 5. Pinocchio 6. Aladdin 7. The Lion King ---

1. The Emperor’s New Groove (Cinderella really is the better movie, I just am not a huge fan) 2. 101 Dalmatians 3. Dumbo 4. The Little Mermaid (tough choice) 5. Beauty and the Beast 6. Pinocchio (You Bastard! The two best movies Disney ever made going head to head in round 3! Bah! 😉 ) 7. Peter Pan 8. Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs ---

1. Cinderella 2. 101 Dalmatians 3. Dumbo 4. The Little Mermaid 5. Beauty and the Beast 6. Pinocchio 7. Peter Pan 8. Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs A very tough round. I can’t believe that Cinderella is still in this. ---

1. The Emperor’s New Groove 2. 101 Dalmatians 3. Dumbo 4. The Jungle Book 5. Robin Hood 6. Pinocchio 7. Aladdin 8. The Lion King Sleeping Beauty/Lion King was by far the hardest choice if only because I’m not a fan of either movie. Dumbo won because it is at least and encouraging story. My pick for Emperor’s New Groove was mainly motivated by revenge for the Sword in the Stone. ---

Once again, voting in blue [QUOTE=Jonathan Chance] 1. Cinderella 2. The Emperor’s New Groove (Talking llama \> talking mice, original story \> sanitized fairy tale.) 3. 101 Dalmatians (Once again, I have never seen the movie.) 4. Lilo and Stitch 5. Sleeping Beauty (Maleficent was an awesome villain, and Eric a kickass hero.) 6. Dumbo 7. The Little Mermaid 8. The Jungle Book (Jungle Book gets the nod from me for basically starting the trend for celebrity voices; and really, both movies have the same overarching themes of finding the place where you belong, so JB also gets the vote for doing it first) 9. Beauty and the Beast (Robin Hood is my childhood, but Beauty outshines it in every aspect except for possibly the ending.) 10. Robin Hood 11. Fantasia (Because this movie really showcases what the animators can do when they are allowed to be as creative as they want.) 12. Pinocchio 13. Aladdin (Ooh, battle of the cringe-inducing stereotypes! Aladdin wins for actually needing a retroactive change in lyrics.) 14. Peter Pan 15. Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (And here is where my bias to old school cel animation really shows through. Yeah, a computer can save a lot of work, but there’s something about those old hand-drawn cartoons that gives them an almost timeless quality.) 16. The Lion King [/QUOTE] ---

[QUOTE=MsWhatsit] 4. Sleeping Beauty (Sorry, Dumbo, but the freaky dream sequence with the pink elephants freaks me out.) [/QUOTE] You mean (debatably) [the greatest 5-minute animated sequence in any Disney film ever?](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZdwVqGGbXno). As much as I like some of _Beauty_ (she actually gets a USPS stamp this year), Pink Elephants is absolutely brilliant and ahead-of-its-time. It’s a nailbiter right now, but **Go Dumbo!!!** 🆒🙂 ---

1. Cinderella – of this pair, the only one I’ve seen 2. The Emperor’s New Groove 3. 101 Dalmatians – I never saw _Lilo_, but the preview I caught turned me off of the film – judging from the support it’'s getting here, perhaps I’ll give it a try 4. Lilo and Stitch 5. Sleeping Beauty 6. Dumbo – gotta eliminate some of the princesses… 7. The Little Mermaid – but I’ve have voted for this one against most of the survivors 8. The Jungle Book 9. Beauty and the Beast 10. Robin Hood – I feel about Angela Lansbury the way **Hal Briston** does about _I Love Lucy_ 11. Fantasia 12. Pinocchio – I’ve probably seen every segment of _Fantasia_, but never the whole film at one sitting 13. Aladdin 14. Peter Pan – when in doubt, I go for the older flicks 15. Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs – this last-listed foursome is the strongest of the “regional” brackets 16. The Lion King ---
