I see Narnia and Freaky Friday (2003), I smile

[MovieMan89]

Eesh, idk if I can do this because a lot of the films eligible simply are not “Disney” films in my book. Like saying Ghibli is “Disney” feels like the very threads of the space-time continuum may unravel. I’d rather include Shrek on a Disney list lol

[grey ghost]

So is Marty's new movie gonna beat Endgame or nah.

 

Since audiences can only have one type of movie.

For anyone else who has Letterboxd, I made a list.  A few of the movies have slightly different titles/years and these are missing from Letterboxd (or at least I couldn't find them):

The First Cry (2007)

Luck Luck Ki Baat (2012)

Apna Bhai Gaju Bhai (2016)

It also combines Dr. Syn, Alias the Scarecrow (1964) and The Scarecrow of Romney Marsh (1963), probably because one is a TV version and the other is a theatrical cut of the same material

can't be worse than saying Pulp Fiction is Disney.

 

And I think Ghibli hits some of the same notes as Disney anyways. 🫢

 

Still obviously different kinds of movies though.

Then just…don’t put Ghibli films on your list.

[JustLurking]

I mainly abstained from the WB list because I felt I was missing too many films and had much less time to sit and make a big list back then so I guess I'll try with this one.

 

I'll say having stuff like ghibli films and chungking express here feels really weird for me. They'll rank high on my list, but...it just feels weird lol.

I could probably vote for 100 movies if I wanted to but it would probably end up being a lot of schlock I don't want to vote for. 🤷‍♂️

 

So I left it at 50. The schlock I DO want to vote for.

And I actually made a list of 100 for Eric to tally lol

[MovieMan89]

 

I will make a list but it will definitely exclude a whole ton of stuff I don’t think should ever be called a “Disney movie” lol 

[cannastop]

The former remains the only WDAS I’ve never seen, and the latter is one of the only ones I’ve seen that I don’t really remember at all. So it’s a no for me unfortunately. 

[MovieMan89]

Also, I seem to have lost my tentative list I was working on as a draft post in the thread ughshfdbbeeh

FYC 1950s

 

A fantastic combo of concept, cast, and execution. It's a fantastic story with complexity and nuance, about humanity and technology and intellect, all anchored by an incredible cast of Hollywood legends. James Mason is phenomenal as the morally conflicted Captain Nemo, while Kirk Douglas, Peter Lorre, and Paul Lukas serve well as our likable heroes. There's also incredible setpieces including a giant squid, amazing production design, gorgeous underwater cinematography, and a cute sea lion. It's a fantastic package that deserves way more love amongst Disney fandoms, as it sadly feels underappreciated in this day and age.

 

 

Obviously everybody knows what this is, but I feel most only know it for the spaghetti scene and don't acknowledge the rest of the piece. In many ways, this is Disney's best romance story ever. A fantastic look at social class divisions with two well-defined and interesting dog characters. It's reminiscent of classic romantic comedies, while also being a mature, smarlty-written piece about relationships, sacrifice, and adjusting to life changes. Great music too.

 

 

Most people know it for the ending, but there's a lot more to this story. It's a very strong tale of growing up, as the son of the family, the teenage boy Travis, must learn to be the man of the house and take responsibility, while also try to develop a friendship with his new pet dog he wants nothing to do with. It's a film about how being a man also means being sensitive, letting your guard down, and be more appreciative towards others. 

 

It's also pretty brutal at points. While still aimed at a younger audience, this film contains some intense fight scenes between animals and there's a good blend of tough, heavy moments mixed in with some enjoyable moments of tenderness. It's what classic Disney does so well. Show how life is full of tough, dark, sad moments, but it can often lead to the happiest results.

 

And yes, that ending really is something great. The final act is full of great tension and drama and elevates the whole picture from a decent kids title and a really solid family drama.

 

 

This is a weird movie, and I love every second of it. It's an odd concept of a kid turning into a dog through magic gobbledygook that offers surreal moments of lunacy, fun insights into 1950s culture, and a solid story anchoring everything. These kinds of goofy low-budget comedies Disney made in the 50s-70s are definitely an acquired taste, but this is one of the better ones. It's reminiscent of 60s sitcom kitsch, which is my everything. And if you're in the same boat, you'll dig this too.

 

 

Absurdly silly, but also very endearing and charming all the same. Not only does this have legit impressive special effects that still look impressive decades later, but there's lovely Irish locales and vistas, an endearing cast, including a pre-Bond Sean Connery as an Irish man--not as weird as John Wayne being Irish I suppose--and a lighthearted story that flows well, features a lot of memorable bits of folklore, and an entertaining climax that has just enough dread behind it, while still serving well as an upbeat family story. It deserves more love among classic Disney fans.

lol I need to watch this movie now

 

Very annoying though that they named Jock "Scotty". Like I know he's Scottish, but how did Whit Stillman forget that detail?
