Just animated? Fantasia is No.1, although Pinocchio gives it a run for its money. But Fantasia is one of the ten best films of all time, not just Disney.
Worst is Brother Bear. Blechh.

A cliche romance…with scales.
I think it cheapens the story for it to end happily.
Also, MERNIPPLES!
This might call for its own thread soon.
I forgot Treasure Planet was Disney (and it was probably my most recent too, not counting Pixar.) I thought it was alright but a huge wasted opportunity. I mean, come on . . . Treasure Planet in space. Could’ve been great.
As far as live-action, wasn’t Something Wicked This Way Comes put out by Disney?
If so, it wins as best ever.
I can confidently say that the Lindsay Lohan Herbie movie is the worst ever, and I never saw it. It just has to be. 
Does anyone else, when they hear “Disney movie,” think of the line of animated films starting with Snow White and going through Cinderella, Robin Hood, The Sword and the Stone, Aladdin, Lilo and Stitch, and maybe-but-very-probably-not the Pixar movies, and not any live action movies, even though Disney has made plenty of those?
I automatically think of animated movies like Aladdin or Lion King or Snow White. I don’t think of live action unless I think hard. Though Mary Poppins would probably be my favorite Disney movie of all time. Plus it contained Walt’s fave song ever (Feed the Birds). I guess when someone says Disney, I think animated.
OK then, you’ve convinced me. Both of those are going on the kids’ Netflix queue.
I gotta amend my list–
Worst: Rattatouie (sp?).
A movie. About food. Tastes are non-visual!!!:smack:
And rats don’t belong in kitchens.
Make Mine Music is actually pretty good. There are some good songs and fun animation there.
Yeah, I even heard some idiots are trying to start en entire cable TV channel to food. Like that will ever work.
You forgot the greatest food film ever.
I find it surprising that nobody has mentioned Tarzan yet. I have a great love for it, it has some wonderful animation, catchy songs, and a couple of scenes that are quite beautiful.
It’s the one I have watched most often, and even though it’s not my absolute favourite, it’s in my top five.
The moose in Brother Bear are awesome.
Atlantis and Treasure Planet have their charms, too. Atlantis has a great steampunk visual aesthetic, and Treasure Planet is gorgeously cyberpunk. Yeah, they have their low points, but they were trying for something different and just missed the mark. They are both absolutely visually stunning. (Especially Treasure Planet). That’s the saving grace of any Disney movie that falls short on story. (That and music).
My all time fave is Beauty and the Beast (I was six, I had long brown hair and loved to read- I wanted to be Belle in the worst way). The Beast is my fave Disney romantic hero, bar none - but only in Beast form. The prince version of the character is a wimpy girly-man.
The one that had the biggest emotional impact on my was Lilo and Stitch - Lilo is a lot like my little sister, and I bawled in the theater watching that one.
I’m such a Disney animation fangirl that it’s hard to pinpoint a worst- but Home on the Range comes closest, especially since it closed out the 2D animation era of Disney on a low point. But even it had a great little ditty called “Little Patch of Heaven” sung by kd lang.
I was trying to think of the best way to describe why I hate this movie but you nailed it. I read the Kipling stories as a child and the major animals were these wise and impressive forces of nature. I think of the awesome and majestic depictions Bagheera, Baloo, Kaa and Shere Khan in the book versus the bumbling retarded creations in the film and it just completely turns me off to it. I know it’s not intended to be a faithful telling of the Kipling stories but that doesn’t stop me from hating it.
Best movie, I’ll have to go with Emperor’s New Groove or Lion King. I think the Lion King was the first Disney flick where I actually told people afterwards that they should go see it.
Bolt was far better than I feared. And when I saw it at the theater with my 7-year old he stayed pretty much fixed on the screen throughout. He also nearly fell off his chair laughing at an early throwaway gag which I won’t spoil for Arnold Winkelried, but which I can reference by: :smack: hehe.
Meet the Robinsons is good and funny. “I’m just not sure how well this plan was thought through”. ROFL. 
Same here, but because the entire point of the Collodi story is to banish “when you wish upon a star” nonsense from kids’ heads!
I’m not going to include Pixar films in this, because that’s not Disney in my mind, and also Pixar films are light-years ahead of pure Disney films.
Favorites, kinda in order: Mulan, Lilo and Stitch, Dumbo, The Lion King, Robin Hood. Mulan wins because it’s one of very few Disney stories with A) a woman with goals beyond ‘get the prince’, not to mention opinions and goals and such and B) a non-broken family. There’s grandma, mom, dad, and Mulan. I can’t think of a single other Disney movie where we ‘meet’ the heroine’s parents.
Dumbo was number one up until I wore out our VHS cassette of it when I was maybe seven years old or so. I loved that movie as a kid, then went twenty some years without seeing it. Then, on a whim, I grabbed it from the library, and was blown away. For one, it’s incredibly sad - that sequence where Mrs. Jumbo is rocking Dumbo through the bars of her cage, and there’s that sad song, and we see every other animal parent with their babies? Heartbreaking. And also - “Jim Crow”? Really? I know it’s old, but in a kid’s movie? It was kind of jaw-dropping, because that went straight over my head as a kid.
Least liked: All the ‘princess’ movies other than Beauty and the Beast and The Little Mermaid. They take interesting, creepy, dark stories and turn them into vapid, stupid piles of crap with no redeeming qualities, uninteresting characters, and even less interesting plots. Princess, evil stepwhoever, magic, songs, handsome prince, happy ever after.
Beauty and the Beast and The Little Mermaid get passes for the utterly shamelessly cheesy music, Beast’s library, Flounder, and they both come vaguely close to implying that sometimes there might be sacrifice involved in getting your happy ever after.
Mary Poppins is in my all time top ten movies.
Aladdin is my favorite animated Disney movie.
My least favorite is probably something I forgot right after watching it.
Cheesy music? Seriously?
