[Jonwo]

It's interesting that it took until a decade and a half after Walt's death for Disney to go into adult oriented films with Touchstone as well as things like Tron and it saved them because both the animation department and the family live action films weren't doing well at the time.

Okay, because this has happened way too many times, a quick note of clarification:

 

2023 movies are excluded from this countdown. It's too recent in my books to include something a couple months old in an all-time greatest movies list. So Guardians of the Galaxy 3, Elemental, Little Mermaid '23, etc. can't be included on your list at all. I get you really, really, really like this movie or that movie, but it's just how I laid out these rules. There's thousands of other movies to choose that Disney has made, so there's bound to be one or two more movies that you like that you can include on your list. Thank you.

 

I thought I was clear in my opening post, but I guess not. So again, no 2023 movies.

[MovieMan89]

I excluded TLM because it was 2023 yet didn’t dawn on me I had others 2023 ones on there lol.

 

Made some notable mistakes/omissions as well from my notes, so edited to the correct/eligible list I DMd

I thought it was fun, even if generic. Idk, if I watched it more recently it may not have made it lol.

Movies from 2023 aren't eligible. 😭

Yes I know. Also I realized that I left Elemental out of my Top 100 when it would have absolutely made it but since 2023 movies don't count it doesn't really matter. 

 

Also in my list, Lady and the Tramp and Dumbo are the old movies, not the live actions 

[Eric Prime]

 

If some of y'all need inspiration, you got a whole month of stuff to enjoy 👀

[MovieMan89]

There are some DCOMs I toyed with including but I was like these all seem objectively terrible even just in my memory when I take off the childhood nostalgia goggles lol. Except the Color of Friendship, which I did include. Motocrossed also seemed like maybe it holds up ok from my memory, but it’s fuzzy. 

[cannastop]

FYC:

 

I didn't even realize this was eligible until I watched the trailer and saw the logo.

TLK, Mulan, Coco, Rat, Incredibles, and Moana being most of the ones to get multiple showings is incredibly satisfying. Taste to the programmers (except get those horrific LA showings outta there)

[MovieMan89]

Prob no one cares but me lol, but I made my list with the criterion of the official Disney name studios + Pixar and Marvel + Lucasfilm (post acquisitions) being all that was eligible. The latter three got in for me because I feel they have been fully assimilated into the Disney brand at this point, and thus feel like actual “Disney movies”.

Also FYC: The Sword in the Stone

 

By far the most underrated WDAS film ever in my book. It holds up better than nearly all of their pre-Renaissance “classics” imo. Archimedes is easily a top 5 Disney sidekick, and Merlin and Madam Mim are super entertaining characters as well. Really it’s just Arthur being a granola protagonist that drags it down a bit, but still such a fun and easy watch. Almost reminds me of the type of film they brought back for Emperor’s New Groove decades later, though obviously without as much of a modern feel as that. 

[Eric Prime]

FYC 1960s

Most people probably have seen the 1998 movie with Lindsay Lohan, but this also deserves love too. It's anchored by a very strong dual role from Hayley Mills, and is a sweet-hearted and solidly humorous romantic comedy with fun slapstick in the beginning during the summer camp sequences, and solid charm and laughs through the remainder of the runtime. This is also helped by a strong adult cast. Writer and director David Swift plays it smart by having the parents be solidly likable characters with decent depth and dimension, and both have solid chemistry, making it easy to want them to get together. There's also Joanna Barnes as the snooty fiancee and Leo G. Carroll as the priest, who are the comedic highlights. So if you liked the Lohan movie, do watch this. It's great.

 

The film's structure is pretty odd and out there, but that's part of what makes it endearing. All the characters are memorable, with Arthur, Merlin, and Archimedes all doing well as a comedy trio, the lessons taught are solidly told, the Sherman tunes are pleasant, and there is still a sense of progression and a story thread in all these vignettes where it feels like Arthur's learning something and is progrssing in becoming king.

 

But above all else, I love how laid-back the tone and story is. It's a patient film that isn't really in a hurry, with very minor stakes despite the whole "becoming king of England" backdrop. Still, it's never boring, with enough wackiness and bounciness to still keep your attention. You don't really get movies as laid-back and relaxed as these nowadays, especially ones for children, and I have great appreciation and respect for movies that pull off these kind of relaxing, hangout vibes.

 

 

A kid-friendly iteration of those classic 40s screwball comedies, this is an infectiously silly and endearing little comedy with a lot of fun side characters, two great leads with Hayley Mills and Dean Jones, a premise that is just weird enough to work, and a cute little kitty cat who somehow understands the assignment.

 

It's a good introduction to screwball humor for youngsters and is still just clever and likable enough to get smirks and smiles from older viewers that I think most would get something out of it.

 

 

Silly to a fault, yet also pretty endearing all the same, with a great cast (David Tomlinson and Buddy Hackett the MVPs) and a goofy, but still solid premise about a living car that carries the whole thing through. It honestly does a solid job in making Herbie, the living car, have enough of a personality despite never talking nor having any animated expressions, and there's decent enough stakes in the narrative that it does keep the viewer invested and vibing with this silly scenario.

[Jonwo]

They've remade all three of their films to mixed results. I do miss the lower budget Disney films like The Parent Trap.
