Like WB, I'm doing my FYC decade by decade, highlighting the more obscure features people may overlook. I don't think I need to FYC Bambi. You've seen it, you know it's good. FYC (The 1940s) I know this is a pretty famous film, but still one that deserves attention. Even compared to its sequel, there's no other film that's like this. It's a brilliant experiment combing the joy and awe and wonder of Disney animation with incredible music composed by Leopold Stokowski. Every animation segment is a delight, with Dance of the Hours and The Nutcracker Suite being my personal favorites, with even the intermission being wondrous material. It's an anomaly of cinema and it's all the better for it, frankly. It's an odd hodgepodge of a package feature. There's shorts themed around Latin American culture, there's musical numbers where Donald Duck and Brazil parrot Jose Carioca are hanging out in South America with live-action actors, a rooster named Panchito from Mexico takes Donald to Mexico where he tries to flirt with live-action women, ending with a surreal music video where everything goes off the rails. It's an absurd and surreal voyage through unique locales and vistas of South and Central America that I weirdly love despite being so disjointed. It's got gorgeous colors, great gags, educational in some parts, then teaches nothing in others. It's a film where it feels like it was made up as it went along, and I kinda love it for that. It's an amazing, unpredictable thrill ride where we see talented animators do what they do best. You don't see that even in some of Disney's narrative features and it's so much fun all throughout. Featuring two animated segments based on two classic pieces of literature, both are great on their own. The Wind in the Willows has some great animation and fun characters, with an amazing climax full of laughs and madcap wit,. It's a great goofy experience that is a stark contrast to the other segment. The Legend of Sleepy Hollow is also a great time with great character designs and environments, with great atmosphere. The autumn mood is all throughout the picture and the climax with the Headless Horseman is a fantastic one. A perfect balance of comedic and terrifying that is a great introductory piece to one of my favorite horror stories ever. It's also a great watch with Halloween on the horizon.

Kind of realized something: what happened to the Lopezes? You would think after they wrote the songs for the biggest Disney movie ever, the most famous Disney song ever, they would be attached to every future Disney project like Alan Menken was in the 90s. But all they have done since then was a song for Coco and a song for WandaVision. And it's not like either of them are busy with other stuff. I guess Lin-Manuel Miranda's the bigger name, so Disney wants to have him in their movies instead? I dunno, it's weird.

Ehhhh, this has some awkward flow to it. Also feels more like a Swift/Perry song than a Disney tune (Which I mean, for the record, I'm sure that's the intention)

No. Either cut it down to 50 or bump it up to 75. Either one works for me.

There's been this really weird, really racist connotation from a few select users here that because one of the actors in The Marvels is Muslim, that it will cause the film to bomb. I really, really, really, really, really, really don't like how this is popping up as a recurring issue. And I really, really, really, really, really hope nobody here ever brings up something that stupid and idiotic here ever again. Hint hint hint hint hint. T_T

Yes, yes you can. Forgot about Nat Geo Films, so I’ll add them to the master list later

Hmmm..."Look at the King", "Bubbling in the Castle", "Starry Eyes" and "Hail to the Band".

Also huge thanks to @cookie for being the first to submit a list. A full 100 no less. Already things are off to an amazing start, and it will only get better from there.

Oh. Okay. Then Thor and Captain America: The First Avenger are also eligible for the countdown. Hooray!!!!

A DREAM IS A WISH YOUR HEART MAKES It was exactly 100 years ago. A young man with a passion for cartoons and movie making left his Kansas City home and went off to Hollywood. And as he arrived, he soon found himself changing the world of animation, developing some of the greatest family films of all time, crafted the theme park, and soon saw one of the largest and most beloved media companies of all time. October 1923 saw Walt Disney begin to make his mark. And 100 years later, The Walt Disney Company is bigger and better than ever, becoming the dominant entertainment company. And sure, there’s a lot of things you can complain about when it comes to Disney. 95% of them for good reason. But there’s a reason why people love Disney as much as they do. For almost all of us, Disney was our first gateway into the world of film, and almost all of us have at least some sort of nostalgic attachment to at least one of their movies. They’ve developed some of the greatest films of all time, redefined animation and filmmaking, acquired some of the greatest franchises of all time, and created way too many nostalgic memories to count. And looking at their box office and financial success, they’re not going away any time soon. For better or for worse, movies and cinema wouldn’t be the same without them. And so, it’s time to appreciate it with a new countdown all about Disney and all the films under it. From Pixar and Marvel to Touchstone and Miramax, not one stone will be left unturned for this countdown. The Rules -PM me your list, consisting of either 10, 25, 50, 75, or 100 entries. The scoring is weighted in favor of longer lists. And frankly, I recommend everybody here to try and put 100 films on your list. With thousands upon thousands upon thousands of films made under the Disney banner, alongside stuff from Touchstone and Miramax, there’s bound to be 100 in there that you like. -PMing is a necessity. Whether it be on Telegram or on the forums. If you don't PM me your list, your list does not count. So don't forget that fact, or else. -The scoring for the five list options are as follows: Top 10 Top 25 Top 50 Top 75 Top 100 1- 100 2-99 3- 98 ... 100- 1 Eligibility -Simply put, any feature-length movie (At least 40 minutes) that was produced and/or distributed by Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures/Buena Vista or one of its subsidiaries at its time of release. This includes films that were only distributed by Disney domestically or overseas. So films like Popeye and Face/Off qualify, even if other studios distributed them in the US. Likewise, films like The Prestige and Bicentennial Man qualify, even if other studios distributed them internationally. -All films under Walt Disney Pictures, Walt Disney Animation Studios, Pixar, Disneynature, Touchstone, Disneytoon, and Hollywood Pictures count. This means that along with Snow White, Toy Story, and Mary Poppins, films like Pretty Woman, The Sixth Sense, Tombstone, Sister Act, The Royal Tenenbaums, Dead Poets Society, and Super Mario Bros: The Movie, among others, are allowed. So do try and look over all your favorites, because you may be surprised at what’s actually a Disney movie. I also want to encourage everybody to try to add in films that don’t have the Disney logo slapped on them, as it makes the list more fun and unique. -The cutoff for this is 2022, so no 2023 films qualify. Simply put, I think it’s a little silly to have something that just came out a couple months ago, sometimes a couple weeks ago, on an all-time list. And while a 2022 film is still relatively recent, I think just enough time has passed that people who have seen Avatar: The Way of Water or Black Panther: Wakanda Forever or The Menu or Strange World have decided if they should be included in their lists or not. -Some of the other subsidiaries and Disney-adjacent material, current and dormant, are a bit more confusing to follow, so allow me to explain this to the best of my ability: -Fox: The only Fox movies, including 20th Century and Searchlight, I’m allowing are from 2019’s Breakthrough to the present. As much as I love The Sound of Music and Planet of the Apes and Avatar, those movies were not produced, released or marketed by Disney when they first released, so I feel like it’s cheating to put them on a Disney countdown. For some examples, your list can include films like Ad Astra, Ford v Ferrari, Jojo Rabbit, A Hidden Life, Nomadland, Free Guy, The Last Duel, West Side Story, The Menu, and Avatar: The Way of Water, among others. -Miramax: Again, movies released before Disney acquired the company in 1993 don’t count, since Disney didn’t help release them. Sorry to all our Reservoir Dogs and Crying Game fans out there. However, movies produced and/or distributed by Miramax, theatrical or direct-to-video, between 1993’s Benefit of the Doubt and 2010’s The Switch qualify. This also applies to Dimension Films, from 1993’s The Legend to 2005’s Venom. So in short, movies like Pulp Fiction, Amelie, Life is Beautiful, Gangs of New York, Scream, The Crow, Spy Kids, Scary Movie, Police Story, and more count. In cases where Miramax/Dimension only had domestic or only had international distribution, that movie still counts. That means you can include films like The Hours, Cinderella Man, No Country for Old Men, and The Aviator. -Marvel: This one was tough to decide on, mainly because I didn’t know what to think for a good chunk of movies. MCU films post-Avengers obviously count and should be allowed on people’s lists. However, there are a good number of non-MCU releases that were released by other studios, but were made by Marvel Entertainment, a Disney subsidiary. So stuff like Deadpool or Into the Spider-Verse. That seems off to me. Meanwhile, the Holland Spider-Man films, while released by Sony, were produced by Marvel Studios and are in the MCU. However, most will argue that they aren’t truly Disney titles. So my compromise is this: I’m only including the MCU movies from Thor (2011) onwards, including the Holland Spider-Man movies. Dark Phoenix and The New Mutants also qualify, as they were under Disney proper upon their release. I know some people may be upset that their favorite Marvel movies like Logan or Deadpool are excluded, but seeing as how you already have so many Marvel movies to choose from, I think you’ll be okay with what you have and can put more variety on your lists. -Lucasfilm: The original trilogy and prequel trilogy are excluded. The Force Awakens, Rogue One, The Last Jedi, Solo, and The Rise of Skywalker are the only movies that qualify. Likewise, no Indiana Jones is allowed, including Dial of Destiny, since it’s a 2023 release. -Studio Ghibli: This was also a hard one to consider for a while, but I feel as if considering the money Disney put into distributing and releasing many Ghibli releases, Disney’s influence in making Ghibli a bigger name in the West, Disney creating their own dubs, and Disney Japan often being a producing partner for many Ghibli titles, the Ghibli releases that saw their initial international distribution by Disney, theatrical or home video, qualify. Likewise, films that have Walt Disney Japan attached to them as a production company are also included, even if GKIDS would distribute them in the West. Long story short, this means the following Ghibli films are allowed: Pom Poko, Whisper of the Heart, Princess Mononoke, My Neighbors the Yamadas, Spirited Away, The Cat Returns, Howl’s Moving Castle, Tales from Earthsea, Ponyo, Arrietty, From Up on Poppy Hill, The Wind Rises, The Tale of the Princess Kaguya, When Marnie Was There, and The Red Turtle. -The Muppets: The Muppet Christmas Carol, Muppet Treasure Island, The Muppets’ Wizard of Oz, The Muppets, Muppets Most Wanted, and other Muppet film productions after the Disney buyout are allowed. Everything else is excluded. -TV Movies, Direct-to-DVD movies, and Disney+/Hulu movies qualify as well. They all have their place in the Disney legacy. So this means your list can include High School Musical, Descendants, Black is King, Soul, Luca, Turning Red, Hocus Pocus 2, Prey, The Lion King 1 1/2, Lady and the Tramp II, Rob Marshall’s Annie and Drew Carey’s Geppetto, among others. -”Eric, that movie shouldn’t count! I lost all my respect for you!” Yes, I know. You would think four companies owning everything would make things easy to determine what’s Disney and what’s not, but some will argue certain movies just don’t fit with the Disney name. But I tried to make this as broad as possible so as to not be full of “this movie counts you idiot!” comments. If you don’t think a movie qualifies, simply put, don’t place it on your list. However, do not attack or harass people who do put it on their list, nor me if it ends up on the top 100. -As we all know, Disney loves remakes. So if you just give the generic title to something that was remade/has other adaptations, I will put its points towards the oldest title of the bunch. For example, if you just type “Cinderella” on your list, this will automatically lead to the original 1950 animated movie getting the points. If you wanted to put the Brandy Cinderella or the Branagh Cinderella on your list, you’ll have to type out “Cinderella (1997)” or “Cinderella (2015)”. This probably won’t be a big problem, but if you wanted to give points to the Lindsay Lohan Parent Trap or Jon Favreau’s The Jungle Book or the Lindsay Lohan Freaky Friday or David Lowery’s Pete’s Dragon, and you saw that I gave it to the 60s/70s version instead, that’s on you for not being specific. So be careful. -The sad lack of art preservation does make finding some of these Disney titles a little tricky. Obviously some movies are easier to find than others. So in the master list below, I excluded films that I can’t find on DVD or digital...you know, legally of course. I’m sure I missed a few hidden gems, but this stuff happens, and you are more than free to ask if a movie I skipped or forgotten about can be included if you’ve seen it. However, I will make an exception and include the Disney+ movies that were unfairly taken off due to tax write-off bullshit. Those movies are still recent enough that I’m sure a few of you have seen these movies and may want to put them on your list. But remember, piracy is totally bad and not an important tool to use to see art taken away by those evil capitalist pigs, so you can’t watch these movies if you haven’t gotten around to them. -If you are unsure about any movie’s qualifications, feel free to ask in this thread. Below I have a master list of every movie that I believe qualifies, but if you think there are some movies that you believe qualify for whatever reason that aren’t on there, please write them below, state your case, and I’ll try and determine that for you. Have fun! Below is the masterpost of every movie I feel is eligible for the countdown. You have a lot of options here, but I’m sure I might have missed one or two, and in that case, feel free to tell me. 1930s-1940s 1950s 1960s 1970s 1980s 1990s 2000s 2010s 2020s

Wanted to say earlier that Wish's low ticket sales can be attributed to Disney never actually advertising tickets being on sale. Well now they are. Weird they didn't do this on Friday, but whatever. Will be curious to see any notable bumps with an official social media announcement
