My Top 3 Disney Animated Flicks
February 26, 2008 11:03 am Movies, TV and MusicWell, being that I have a 2-year-old and now a newborn, we’re watching a lot of Disney movies lately. Mainly to keep the 2-year-old entertained if you know what I mean. So this got me thinking the other day: what are my favorite Disney movies?
So here are my favorites. Also keep in mind, these don’t include any of the Pixar movies, just the regular animated flicks.
#3 - Tarzan
I personally thought Tarzan was great. They did a much better job of blending the CGI with the regular animation, and it gave a better image of the ape-man really acting like a monkey. The one down side to Tarzan would have to be Rosie O’Donnell, but I will say that she wasn’t too incredibly annoying and I can even convince myself that it isn’t really her.
So Tarzan gets my vote for my #3 favorite. Great story, really good animation quality, and it keeps my kid entertained!
#2 - Lilo and Stitch
I love this movie. I know it’s definitely one of the more off-beat Disney movies, but maybe that’s why I love it. That and its full of a bunch of GREAT one-liners. Here are some of my favorites:
- Lilo: Oh good! My dog found the chainsaw!
- Lilo: [creating voodoo dolls of her playmates] My friends need to be punished.
- Mr. Cobra Bubbles: Thus far you have been adrift in the sheltered harbor of my patience, but I cannot tolerate you being jobless. Do I make myself clear?
- Lilo: Elvis Presley was a model citizen. I’ve compiled a list of his traits for you to practice. Number one… is dancing!
I mean c’mon, with lines like that it has to be a great movie right? If you haven’t seen this one check it out.
#1 - The Lion King
This has probably always been my favorite, ever since I saw it as a kid. The songs are good, the story is great, and you get to see funny subliminal messages… ok, that’s not the real reason, but its a great movie. Honestly I can’t pinpoint the one thing that makes me put this movie number one on my list, I just know that it’s always been my favorite. Scar is a great bad guy, and you can’t go wrong with James Earl Jones as Mufasa. Great movie all around and my #1 favorite Disney animated flick!
Honorable Mentions
So there are a couple of movies that were really close to making the top 3, and I’m still back and forth a little bit. Here are the two that make the honorable mention list:
Another classic, this one is full of great laughs. Also full of great one-liners that you can sit around the dinner table and quote.
I can’t leave this one out can I? Another high quality, good Disney movie. It didn’t make the top 3 because it’s a little bit more of a chick flick, and I think that Stitch could take the Beast any day! That and I really don’t like the way the Beast looked as a human. He should have stayed a beast.
My Favorite Pixar Movies!
WALL-E: Another Great Pixar Movie?
Remembering a Trip to Orlando
Movie Review: Enchanted
WALL-E is a Great Movie!

Lilo: Did you ever kill anybody?
Mr. Bubbles: We’re getting off the subject.

The lion king is my favorite too. It never gets old. Just a great all around movie
[Reply]
Nice list. Can’t help but smile when I think of Kuzco in the emperor’s new groove. I like Hercules too, and Treasure Planet.
[Reply]
I’m going to have to put in a big vote for Finding Nemo.
[Reply]
I also love Disney’s cartoons especially Little Mermaid and Aladdin.^_^
[Reply]
I would have to say Jungle Book!!! Baloo and I would get along just fine!!
[Reply]
I really loved Finding Nemo and Ice Age. I cried in both!!! I think childrens movies are so entertaining now days.. The only problem is that I like them better than the kids do!!
[Reply]
I have three young children myself, so Disney films are a way of life at the moment! I (er… I mean the kids) enjoyed Tarzan a lot but I think their (ahem) all time favourite was The Hunchback of Notre Dame (was that a Disney film?)
[Reply]
I like the drama of Lion king
I like the music of Beauty and the beast
and the spirit of Mulan
[Reply]
My kids and I actually quite liked Fantasia. Lady and the Tramp was a great one from years past.
[Reply]
Simba, Nala, Princess Jasmine, Abu,
Jaafar, and Mufasa. Those are my favorite Disney character. I grew up with Lion King and Aladdin!
[Reply]
Try the CartoonNetwork channel..I am sure your kid will love Johnny Bravo or Dexter more than the Disney cartoons LOL
I know I still watch Cartoon Network every time I have time to watch the TV.
[Reply]
Great post. Brought back some childhood memories of my own. Who can forget classics like Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs or Jungle Book? I remember being absolutely captivated by them
[Reply]
Beauty and the Beast is my all-time favorite
[Reply]
I have never had a new matress… I think that is why my back is sooo bad!
[Reply]
Heidi, Aladdin, Sinbad (Arabian Nights) were my favorites also…
[Reply]
Cartoons from Disney are all good, but I still find Beauty and the Beast amazing.
[Reply]
If I looked back at childhood, I would have to say that my favorites were The Little Mermaid, Beauty and the Beast, and Robin Hood. You have some good ones listed as well.
[Reply]
Tom & jerry was my fav.It was just amazing with lot of fun.I even love it today
[Reply]
Disney Cartoons are all kind and beautiful.
[Reply]
I wish Disney all the best and would like they to make us happy in the future with new wonderful cartoons.
[Reply]
the best family films. Tarzan was my lovely one. I can see it with my children two times a month
[Reply]
Hey, I used to like Tarzan a lot. I think I’d watch it even now, when I’m not that age anymore
[Reply]
Nice list. i couldn’t agree more. Memories…
[Reply]
I agree that lion king is one of the best, but I think many of the classics are better than your #2 and #3. Aladdin was great!
Jungle Book is my least favorite.
[Reply]
I actually cry when watching the first segment of Tarzan. The movie was really great, and I still love the soundtrack
[Reply]
come on you actually put tarzan above emperors new grove (the original one the second one wasnt as good) …. i think emperors was above tarzan
[Reply]
Love The Lion King specially when I was a child until now, I like the theme of the story, kids will surely have a lot of fun and at the same time a good lessons ^_^
[Reply]
The Lion King was my favourite growing up, I don’t know if I’ve seen any since that have changed my opinion! As you say, you can’t beat James Earl Jones as Mufasa.

I have to go with the old classics up to about the time of Mermaid. Something seems missing from the newer computer animated shows - but they are still good!

Perhaps somebody know where I might buy some of the movies in Mobile Phone format? I have a Nokia N95 8 GB. To let my kids watch Tarzan on my mobile when we are at holidays would be nice
