Top Ten Favorite Disney Films
As with the other lists, this is in no particular order, save for number one. Keep in mind, these are not Pixar productions, as I feel they are seperate from out-and-out Disney films.

- DirectorRoger AllersRob MinkoffStarsMatthew BroderickJeremy IronsJames Earl JonesLion prince Simba and his father are targeted by his bitter uncle, who wants to ascend the throne himself.Heartfelt, powerful and imaginative. Beyond being a genuinely thrilling and riveting film, it also draws a fascinating parallel with Hamlet. Pair that with some fantastic imagery, and you have a bona-fide classic.
- DirectorRon ClementsBurny MattinsonDave MichenerStarsVincent PriceBarrie InghamVal BettinBasil, the rodent Sherlock Holmes, investigates the kidnapping of a toy maker and uncovers its link to his archenemy, Professor Ratigan.This is a prime example of an animated film that appeals to adults just as much, or even perhaps more as children. It's dark, gritty, and at times, legitimately frightening. Plus the voice of Vincent Price adds an appropriate amount of menace to the role of the villain.
- DirectorGary TrousdaleKirk WiseStarsPaige O'HaraRobby BensonJesse CortiA prince cursed to spend his days as a hideous monster sets out to regain his humanity by earning a young woman's love.This one is unbelievably entertaining. It tells a very human story about feeling outcast from a world that is terrified by you, and the misanthropic tendencies that result. It's funny, it's thrilling, and it paints an allegorical picture of mob justice that still holds up. A person is a rational, level-headed being. But PEOPLE are violent, brash and stupid.
- DirectorTed BermanRichard RichArt StevensStarsMickey RooneyKurt RussellPearl BaileyA fox named Tod and a hound named Copper vow to be best friends forever. But as Copper grows into a hunting dog, their unlikely friendship faces the ultimate test.Few movies illustrate the importance of friendship the way this film does. It's powerful, and pulls no punches. It's just as uncompromising today as it was when it first premiered.
- DirectorWolfgang ReithermanDavid HandStarsBrian BedfordPhil HarrisRoger MillerThe story of the legendary British outlaw portrayed with the characters as anthropomorphic animals.The ultimate animated adventure story. It's got corrupt monarchies, romance, and an ultra-badass, Errol Flynn-like hero. From the songs to the animation, this movie is undeniably entertaining.
- DirectorClyde GeronimiHamilton LuskeWolfgang ReithermanStarsRod TaylorBetty Lou GersonJ. Pat O'MalleyWhen a litter of Dalmatian puppies are abducted by the minions of Cruella De Vil, the owners must find them before she uses them for a diabolical fashion statement.It hits every note with gusto. It's exciting, it's funny and it's cute as hell. All this is backed by a wonderfully jazzy score. I defy anyone to argue against Cruella Deville being easil;y amongst the scariest of the Disney villain.
- DirectorClyde GeronimiWilfred JacksonHamilton LuskeStarsBarbara LuddyLarry RobertsPeggy LeeThe romantic tale of a sheltered uptown Cocker Spaniel dog and a streetwise downtown Mutt.Beautifully animated, with a plot way more grown up than the majority of it's viewers. Above all, it's an incredibly charming love story that has the good sense to make it's romantic leads very interesting and likable characters, even if they are dogs.
- DirectorRon ClementsJohn MuskerStarsTate DonovanSusan EganJames WoodsThe son of Zeus and Hera is stripped of his immortality as an infant and must become a true hero in order to reclaim it.Manages to make a fresh and entertaining take on well-worn material, the dialogue of James Woods and Danny DeVito are worth the price of admission alone.
- DirectorJames AlgarSamuel ArmstrongFord Beebe Jr.StarsLeopold StokowskiDeems TaylorThe Philadelphia OrchestraA series of eight famous pieces of classical music, conducted by Leopold Stokowski and interpreted in animation by Walt Disney's team of artists.Easily among the most visually stunning animated films ever made. It's funny, cute, foreboding, beautiful, and even downright frightening at times.
- DirectorNorman FergusonT. HeeWilfred JacksonStarsDickie JonesChristian RubMel BlancA living puppet, with the help of a cricket as his conscience, must prove himself worthy to become a real boy.
