I liked Beauty and the Beast, The Lion King, and Aladdin.

Little Mermaid
Jungle Book
Sleeping Beauty

Cinderella
Little Mermaid
Aladdin

Bambi, Lady and the Tramp, 101 Dalmations

AHHH dont make me CHOOSE i'm a DISNEY FREAK I love them ALL I dont Know *sighs* BUT if I must choose it would be Cinderella

Overall, Sleeping Beauty. It's got the best music and the most beautiful artwork ever done.

Aladdin and Robin Hood are tied for second.

My heart is torn on Little Mermaid - artistically it's beautiful, the music is great, and I met Jodi Benson :D But I can't forgive them for butchering HC Andersen's fairy tale the way they did. They missed the whole point of the story!

What was the original story about?
Thank you for asking :)

A mermaid rescues a prince and falls in love with him. She goes to the sea witch and exchanges her voice for legs - she has as long as it takes, unless the prince marries another girl. If that happens she'll turn into a speck of seafoam, since mermaids don't have souls and can't go to heaven. She'll vanish.

Every step she takes feels as though she's stepping on knives. On top of it, when she finds her prince he's in love with and engaged to another princess. Although he takes her in as a friend, he's in love with the other girl. She stands by and watches him marry her. The night of the wedding the mermaid's given a second chance - if she kills the prince she can turn back into a mermaid and return home. She decides that she loves him too much and can't harm him. Because of her sacrifice she's allowed to go to heaven.

It's a story of sacrifice, not of happily ever after. HC Andersen wrote it when the girl he loved married someone else. Sorry about the long explanation - the good little Danish girl in me comes out every now and then ;)

Wow, The Little Mermaid is ALOT different.
But both make good stories.

The Little Mermaid is my favorite from the list
Next would be Sleeping Beauty and Beauty and the Beast

I also love The Rescuers, The Aristocats, and Hercules

When I was younger I used to get really sad when I watched it, but it's a really good movie, imo.

Disney also butchered the story of Hercules too, it's a lot different than the actual Disney story. I guess it's good that they did because in the actual story Hercules ends up killing Megara in a rage put upon him by Hera.

My favorite animated Disney movie is probably The Sword in the Stone.

They butchered a lot of the stories to make them movies (eg. Pinocchio) I have a book that compares the originals to the Disney versions

Lion King is on DVD now!!

what's the book? sounds like something i'd write ;) I know they butcher plenty of stories - Little Mermaid is the one that really gets to me cuz my family's from Denmark - I've been to the statue of the little mermaid in Copenhagen many times (I was there just four months ago actually) and I grew up knowing all of his fairy tales...

But yeah, it's certainly not the first one they screwed up, and it won't be the last. Snow White, Cinderella, Pinnochio, Little Mermaid, Pocahontis, Hunchback of Notre Dame... :rolleyes: It's not like there's any shortage of fairy tales out there, why did they have to go raping great literature to find their "happily ever after"?

:rant:

K, I'm done :)

"Snow White" and other Disney animated films. Here's the picture of the album I bought at a yard sale back on Saturday.

I don't see Robin Hood up there! :eek: That has always been my favorite Disney film of all-time. A great cast:

Brian Bedford (ironically, he didn't appear in a lot of movies and TV shows later in his career. He rocks in this film)
Peter Ustinov
Phil Harris
Terry-Thomas
Monica Evans (Probably most famous for playing one of the Pigeon sisters in The Odd Couple during the first season of the show)
Carole Shelley (Also starred with Evans in the first season of The Odd Couple)
Andy Devine
Roger Miller (A famous country singer)
Pat Buttram (Perhaps most famous for his role as Mr. Haney on TV's Green Acres)
George Lindsey (Perhaps most famous for his role of Goober Pyle on TV's The Andy Griffith Show)
Ken Curtis (Best known for playing Festus in the long-running western Gunsmoke)

It's called "Mouse Under Glass: Secrets of Disney Animation and Theme Parks" by David Koenig

I saw another book at a bookstore that I think was a big Disney storybook that had all the original stories in it. I don't remember what it was called but it was with the childrens books, hardcover and kinda heavy.
