There was one summer I literally watched Beauty and the Beast every single day. It's position as the best Disney Movie has only recently been usurped by Tangled.

Sleeping Beauty (best princess movie), Sword in the Stone, Robin Hood, The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh and The Rescuers were all superior before Beauty was ever released. Lion King was better after. Although not a single story, Fantasia is also better.

Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs deserves credit for being the first, and making enough money to result in Walt Disney Studios.

Hercules is the worst.
 
My assertion is not at all spurious, merely personal.

The movies you listed, while awesome, do not have a heroine with which I strongly identified as a bookish, outcast, brunette, adolescent girl and are therefore inferior to Beauty and the Beast.

Obviously you have failed to recognize that my opinion is the axis by which the world turns. Life will go much smoother for you once you do.
 
I'm with Paul.

Megara (or however you spell it) is one of my favorite female characters in Disney... well... ever.

Oh hush. You know it was a joke.

Purist Dan says "No thanks."

Also: "more smoothly".

That's ok. It was a lie anyway. Life will not suddenly lack for roughness, however, you might find a modicum of peace from knowing the source.

'Might' being the operative word.
 
Lilo & Stitch is still my favorite.
 
The Emperor's New Groove was a fantastic Disney movie
 
Some of you may be aware that pre-NERO and pre-Alliance, I started and edited a magazine called Animato! -- about animation. Give it a look on wikipedia and the internet and you'll find plenty of references to it.

So anyway, I am still a big animation fan. My favorite Disney films are probably (not counting Pixar films):

Aladdin
The Lion King
Beauty and the Beast
The Hunchback of Notre Dame
The Princess and the Frog

Hercules is tremendous fun as long as you don't take it seriously and Emperor's New Groove is absolutely the funniest Disney film. Tangled was good, but very predictable -- it was like a Disney "Mad Libs" (plug in song about wanting to be free here; put song where they fall in love here; have scene where heroine thinks hero has left her here...)

See for me the excellence of Tangled was not in the twists of it's plot turns but the accuracy of it's metaphors. The horrific mother/daughter relationship, couched in terms of love, Rapunzel's magic hair that is both a blessing and a curse, her longing for the floating lights and everything the crown signifies was just so spot on. I've always had a fondness for the story and I enjoyed this interpretation.
 
I rewatch one or two of the following films every time I pull logistics for an event:

Snatch
Boondock Saints
RED

Aladdin almost ruined my life.

And everyone knows the greatest Disney Movie of all time is Remember the Titans.
