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.
