Heretic! 😉

Seriously, it’s one of my favorite recent Disney flicks. I find the way that it is continually refusing to take itself seriously thoroughly charming and endlessly amusing. But I can enjoy watching it again, where some of the other films that have made it this far are totally cringe-inducing for me.

Cinderella

```

10. Dumbo (2nd Round Bye)

11. The Little Mermaid

12. The Great Mouse Detective (but only because I couldn’t stand Aeriel)

12 Hercules

31 The Aristocats

1. Robin Hood (2nd round bye)

2. Mulan

3. Fantasia (call me biased, but I **hated** what the movie did to the original source material; I’ve read far better treatments of the Mulan story)

8. Peter Pan (2nd round bye)

9. Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (ooh, gotta give it to the first full length feature)

12. Saludos Amigos

**dotchan** , I agree that the Stitch spin offs all sucked yak semen out of donkeys, they sucked that badly.

But the movie Lilo and Stitch is much, much better, and well worth viewing.

I second what OtakuLoki wrote. Don’t judge _Lilo & Stitch_ by the sequels. The original movie was great. In my opinion it was the last great movie Disney has made.

I agree. At least the last great movie in that animation style, anyway.

So I take it we just pick one in each bracket?

{{

1. Cinderella (This is an edit, the more I thought about it, the more I decidedly do NOT like sword in the stone when I watch it nowadays)

2. The Emperor’s New Groove (2nd round bye)

3. 101 Dalmations

4. Lilo and Stitch

5. The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh

6. Dumbo (2nd Round Bye)

7. The Little Mermaid

12 Hercules  
(To be honest, I actually like the story of the Jungle Book more, as it doesn’t screw up Greek Mythology, but I like the music in Hercules so I’m tilting it up)

2 Beauty and the Beast

1. Robin Hood (2nd round bye)

2. Mulan

3. Pinnochio

4. Aladdin

5. Peter Pan (2nd round bye)

6. The Fox and the Hound (this one was really tough…)

7. The Lion King  
}}  
Go ahead, try and find a pattern in my voting, I dare ya, I sure can’t.

</div>

**1. Cinderella**  
[del]33. The Sword in the Stone[/del]  
Tougher than some might thinnk

**17. The Emperor’s New Groove (2nd round bye)**  
BOOM, Baby!

**8. Bambi**  
[del]25. 101 Dalmations[/del]  
A seminal work versus a not-great adaptation… Bambi wins.

**9. Lilo and Stitch**  
[del]24. The Rescuers[/del]  
Lilo and Stich saved Disney animation post Lion King.

**4. Sleeping Beauty**  
[del]29. The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh[/del]  
The sentimental favorite unfortunately gets paired with the greatest ever.

**13. Dumbo (2nd Round Bye)**

**5. The Little Mermaid**  
[del]37. The Great Mouse Detective[/del]  
Menken and Ashman bring the Broadway musical to a new world.

[del]12 Hercules[/del]  
**21 The Jungle Book**  
The Jungle Book is not the best adaptation, but Hercules was just plain bad.

**2 Beauty and the Beast**  
[del]31 The Aristocats[/del]  
Beauty and the Beast could beat The Aristocats even by a long-distance call from a Fiji vacation while drunk, getting a massage and sending the instructions through the massuer, who, despite not speaking English, would still be able to lay a massive beat-down on that crap movie via phone.

**18. Robin Hood (2nd round bye)**  
lucky

[del]7. Mulan[/del]  
**26. Fantasia**  
Mulan wasn’t exactly bad, but true art should beat a relative yawn-fest any day of the week and twice on Sundays.

**10. Pinnochio**  
[del]23. Brother Bear[/del]  
Pinnochio has its own scary ride at Disneyland. Brother Bear doesn’t actually exist.

**3. Aladdin**  
[del]30. Meet the Robinsons[/del]  
Really, the battle is for the fourth spot in the final four.

**19. Peter Pan (2nd round bye)**

**6. Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs**  
[del]38. The Fox and the Hound[/del]  
How in Og’s name did both The Aristocats AND The Fox and the Hound get anywhere beyond a prison cell?  
Both are such unmitigated dreck it’s an insult to Treasure Planet that we even acknowledge them as animated features.

**11. The Lion King**  
[del]43. Saludos Amigos[/del]  
I love the song, but the movie ain’t great. Adios.
