Best Animated Disney Movie Ever

We've all grown up on classic, hand-drawn Disney classics, but will the next generation only know PIXAR as the purveyor of magic? The boys debate what one chunk of childhood Dan should pass on to his baby.

There is a distinct lack of Lion King in that choice.

How could you forget the Lion King?

It's like forgetting the ice-cream in an Ice Cream Sundae

And forgetting about Winnie The Pooh (THE OLD OR NEW ONE) is like forgetting the chocolate sauce.

Obviously they couldn't pick the Lion King because that one would win by default

Interesting thing to note: The third movie in the Aladdin series actually went back to the source material. Aladdin itself was based off one of the characters from the Arabian Knights tales...and they went back to it for the third movie by using Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves.

Now...I would have personally voted for the Black Cauldron myself for best animated Disney movie, but that's just me.

aladdin FTW.

honestly i don't see how it could be anything else.

Lion King is a very close second because i feel it has some pacing problems.

Beauty and the beast ranks in my top ten, but alot of disney movies are better than it. Heck i think The Little Mermaid is better than Beauty and the Beast.

For me it is always a contest between Aladdin and The Lion King and it always ends in a stalemate, because I love them both too much to choose. And they are both better than Beauty and the Beast that, while good, is my least favorite Disney movie. Then again I am English and disliking things associated with the French is a reflex.

Of course Lion King!

It's Hamlet... BUT WITH LIONS. That's like having MacBeth but with robots.

I accept your choice of Aladdin, yet feel odd that the Lion King was not even contesting it.

O, prince Ali, Mighty as he, Ali Ababwa.

I don't remember that much of Beauty and the Beast. Of course, it has been 15 years since I last saw it, and we didn't have a copy of it anywhere in the house...

Aladdin? I remember it. I mostly remember being absolutely terrified of it. Specifically the finale. You've got the carpet getting unraveled, Jasmine suffocating to death in a gigantic hourglass, Jafar transforming into this ENORMOUS COBRA, wrapping Aladdin in his tail... so I tried to avoid watching that movie if I could.

So what did I watch? Robin Hood. By god, I watched that film to death, and I still love it. I love the animation, I love the characters, I love the humor, I love the story, I love the songs... I! Love! Robin Hood!

Man, I need to watch that movie again...

...but I think we can all agree that The Little Mermaid is a terrible, terrible movie that completely destroys any semblance of its source material in order to become a safe, wishy-washy, unorginal movie.

"Beauty and the Beast was the first animated movie to have computer animation."

Really? Because I seem to remember The Great Mouse Detective having that honour.

Great debate!
Beauty did deserve the win, based on it.
Which was surprising, because I figured Chris+Aladdin = nuke your socks off, debatewise!

I don't really like the archetypal Disney movie, or a lot of the more recent things they've done either. Some stuff they have done isn't bad, but generally I really don't like them.

When the last point was being made the first thing on my mind was exactly what the last thing said was. Pixar. The Studio Ghibli films are also ones that fit the bill.

I'll still take Aladdin. BatB is a good movie, don't get me wrong, but it kinda feels like a bit of a bad message. I know the intended message was "physical appearance isn't all there is to a person and even if people put on a façade of being mean they're nice underneath" but that could very easily be viewed as "He's not abusive! He's just unable to express his feelings!"

Aladdin's at least a bit better there what with his deception at least not coming at the expense of somebody else. Though I do wonder how those people Genie made for the "Prince Ali" song work. Are they homunculi or did he just hire them?

Overthinking the movies. I'm gonna go watch them for some nostalgia.
