Disney Flix

[Marlow]

I was randomly reading something about Disney movies and was compelled to look at a list of their movies. What I found was 10 Instant Classics, followed by a 25-year drought, followed by 10 more Instant Classics. All were at least partly animated films. And they have only had two all-live-action (and one relied heavily on special effects) movies that I'd consider even close.

Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs 1937
Fantasia 1940
Bambi 1942
Song of the South 1946
Cinderella 1950
Alice in Wonderland 1951
Peter Pan 1953
Lady and the Tramp 1955
Sleeping Beauty 1959
Mary Poppins 1964

Little Mermaid 1989
Beauty and the Beast 1991
Aladdin 1992
Lion King 1994
Jungle Book 1994
Toy Story 1995
Monsters, Inc 2001
Finding Nemo 2003
Wall-E 2008

Pirates of the Caribbean 2003
Secretariat 2010

That's some record.

I miss old school animation. I don't like the Pixar version. I don't think it can duplicate the subtleties seen in hand drawn animation. JMO.

Re: Disney Flix

Well, all I can say is that I've received a huge education in Disney films since my daughter was born. So far, her collection consists of (from your list):

Bambi 1942
Cinderella 1950
Alice in Wonderland 1951
Peter Pan 1953
Lady and the Tramp 1955
Little Mermaid 1989
Beauty and the Beast 1991
Lion King 1994
Finding Nemo 2003

Not on your list:

Tangled (actually quite well done too)
The Aristocats
Cars (although she doesn't like this one)

We just watched half of Monsters Inc. this evening -- she thought it was great, but then again she loves going around roaring and scaring people....

Jungle Book 1994

I loved this one, but it was 67. The first movie I ever went to was Disney's Robin Hood (1973).
