Do you like Disney movies?
I don't like live-action Disney movies but I do like Aladdin, Lion King, Jungle Book, Toy Story, Toy Story 2, The Rescuers Down Under, Hercules and Robin Hood because I had a personal connection with those movies when I was a child.
But films like Sleeping Beauty, Snow White, Cinderella, Beauty & the Beast, The Little Mermaid, Mulan and Pocahontas are a bit too girlie for me. In fact the only girlie Disney film I can actually tolerate is Alice in Wonderland, that movie wasn't so bad.

Are you kidding me? I love Disney movies, even the girly ones.
Disney is the absolute. They're all great but I'd rather watch something like The Sword in the Stone or The Rescuers over the princess ones.
I never used to like the live action ones but Pirates of the Caribbean and National Treasure changed that. I still don't like the older ones though, like The Monkey's Uncle or Superdad. The 60's were so annoying.
This calls for a poll.
I like some, others I can't abide. If that's a word. Hopefully it is. Love lion king, hate..something else I cba to think of XD
I am not a man
I would hardly call any of them "girly", as most of them, all convey a deeper meaning. I recall reading a very old interview with the man himself, in which he said that his movies were anything but simple, and all had to be watched more than once to be fully comprended and appreciated.
The Little Mermaid and Beauty and the Beast have the sweetest love stories, the best characters, and perfect soundtracks, so they're my favorites! They stand apart from all the rest!
Nearly all of my favorite things about these movies were conceived by Howard Ashman, who died right before BatB was completed. I wish he was still around. =(
I agree, and I would place Aladdin alongside those.Originally Posted by Marshall Banana
I'd say my favorite is either The Lion King or Aladdin if we're just counting traditional Disney. I'd certainly include Toy Story and Wall-E if we count Pixar too.
Speaking of Toy Story, I'd say Toy Story 3 is the best of the bunch but that's just one man's opinion.
By the way does anybody know when Toy Story 3 is gonna be available on DVD?
So we're mixing Pixar with Disney in this thread? Sweet!
I love pretty much all Disney and Pixar animated features, especially the "girly" princess films. :3
No wonder those two movies stood out. Ashman must have been awesome. I'm guessing they tried to live up to his legacy in Aladdin and did a pretty decent job, but then lost their connection to his greatness or something, because I think the ideas and love stories have been junk ever since. Lion King and Mulan only win because they succeeded in being different. I haven't seen the newest movie. But Little Mermaid and Beauty and the Beast stand out as pure excellence in my opinion as well
I can't really get into old Disney, because the cheesey musical stuff forced down your throat doesn't sit well in my stomach. So I prefer things like Sword in the Stone and Rescuers Down Under, myself. Though my all-time favorite old Disney is of course The Black Cauldron. The beginning of Don Bluth's (unfortunately short-lived) legacy
I like them. Mulan is my favorite. It makes me want to get down to business to defeat some Huns.
I don't like Kingdom Hearts though.
GTFO
Yeah. I hated KH
Yep, Eric said it before I could, not cool Clo.
Lion King is my favourite of the traditional Disney movies, it's hilarious in ways I didn't even realise as a little kid. Also, if we're counting Pixar, then the Toy Story series just leads the way in every sense, those movies are the greatest things ever, particularly the 3rd. I loved it.
EDIT: Also not cool Vyk.
