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.

25. 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.

3. Aladdin
   19. Peter Pan

But only because I have a weakness for these characters in any incarnation. I even liked Hook.

6. Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs
   11. The Lion King

This is the toughest call of them all.

[Infovore]

Don’t know how I managed to miss this one, but better late than never!

17. The Emperor’s New Groove

18. 101 Dalmatians

19. Sleeping Beauty

20. The Little Mermaid

21. Beauty and the Beast

22. Fantasia

23. Aladdin

24. 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.

[ArrMatey]

Ironically, for me, this round had -no- tough choices.
17. The Emperor’s New Groove

9. Lilo and Stitch

10. Dumbo

11. The Jungle Book

12. Robin Hood

13. Pinocchio

14. Aladdin

15. The Lion King

[NAF1138]

17. The Emperor’s New Groove (Cinderella really is the better movie, I just am not a huge fan)

18. 101 Dalmatians

19. Dumbo

20. The Little Mermaid (tough choice)

21. Beauty and the Beast

22. Pinocchio (You Bastard! The two best movies Disney ever made going head to head in round 3! Bah! )

23. Peter Pan

24. Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs

[Zebra]

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.

[MovieMogul]

1. Cinderella

2. 101 Dalmatians

3. Dumbo

4. The Jungle Book

5. Robin Hood

6. Pinocchio

7. Aladdin

8. Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs

[Oredigger77]

17. The Emperor’s New Groove

18. 101 Dalmatians

19. Dumbo

20. The Jungle Book

21. Robin Hood

22. Pinocchio

23. Aladdin

24. 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

@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

[Yllaria]

17. The Emperor’s New Groove

18. Lilo and Stitch

19. Dumbo

20. The Little Mermaid

21. Robin Hood

22. Pinocchio

23. Aladdin

24. Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs

[MovieMogul]

@MsWhatsit

4. Sleeping Beauty (Sorry, Dumbo, but the freaky dream sequence with the pink elephants freaks me out.)

You mean (debatably) the greatest 5-minute animated sequence in any Disney film ever?. 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!!!

[Sternvogel]

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
