Actually, Pals has just done something along the lines of that, not identical to, so there.

For me (although only 1-3 I truly dislike, the other 7 are good but certainly weaker titles when viewed alongside the other animated films)-

1. Treasure Planet
2. Atlantis
3. Melody Time
4. The Jungle Book
5. Hercules
6. The Fox and the Hound
7. Tarzan
8. The Aristocats
9. The Hunchback of Notre Dame
10. Oliver and Company

List updated: 27th July 2005

For me it's gotta be Alice In Wonderland. I didn't hate it or anything....I just found it boring. I tried watching it a few weeks ago again as I hadn't seen it in quite a while.....but no.....had to switch the channel.

Well, I'm a more recent fan of Disney, so theres a lot of Disney animated movies I have yet to see. But out of the ones that I have seen, there's really only two that come to mind:
-Alice in Wonderland. Don't ask me why. Maybe it's just a little too random for me. I didn't hate it, I just didn't get much out of it.
-I'm sure many of you will think I'm crazy, but my least favorite Disney animated film of all time is The Little Mermaid. I don't hate any Disney movies, but this one is bordering on hate. I could list my reasons for not liking this film, but that would take too long, so I'll just leave it at that.

1. The Aristocats
2. The Fox and the Hound
3. Saludos Amigos
4. Make Mine Music
5. The Sword in the Stone
6. Melody Time
7. The Black Cauldron
8. Home on the Range
9. Dumbo
10. Bambi

This list probably isn't that accurate since it's been a while since I've seen most of the anthologies. Also, I don't dislike every movie on this list. Movies 7-10 I generally like, but not as much as others, and movies 1-6 I don't hate but just find mediocre.

Oh, and how can anyone put The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh in their bottom 10 list?? :shock:

Merged MMP's thread into this one. No need for them to be seperate when they are discussing basically the same thing.

{Sorry for bringing up such an old topic, but I didn't want to make a whole new one either) The movies I've always despised most were Peter Pan, Aladdin, Pocahontas and Bambi.

In PP, the only likable character was Wendy (because at least she had some sense). Hook was just a pathetic villain. Couldn't the crocodile have eaten him in the beginning so I wouldn't have to have seen this boring movie?

Aladdin was more like TENG to me. It was a good comedy, but I've never conisdered it a good movie, even though it has the best battle scene in a Disney film EVER. And I can see why it's so popular, but I've just never liked it.

My dislike of Pocahontas has nothing to do with historical inaccuracy (although that would be reason enough). I just think it's an overall bland film. At least I had some wicked characters and music in HoND and Hercules.

And Bambi was just boring. I found it kind of cute, but I felt no sadness or emotion whatsoever for the little deer. Not even when his mother was shot, it just seemed as if she didn't have enough impact to me to even have a noticable prescence.

I also hate Brother Bear. The extreme sappiness of the movie (not to mention some of the ugliest animation for an original Disney movie) just kind of annoyed me.

Nearly all the other films managed to entertain me or stun me in some way or another except those 5.

Ah, I like such lists.

Aladdin- Just annoying, the genie ruined it all for me.
Alice- The movie never got me interested
Mulan- Not really hate but that film is seriously lacking good music
Cinderella- These mice! Arrrgh!
Pocahontas- Somewhat flat..

Generally 3D movies. They are lacking emotion.

The Black Cauldron It was better than I expected, but it wasn't really a movie that I'd like to watch more than once.

Oliver and Company In my opinion, this is the worst Disney film ever made..(that I've seen). It was so boring, the songs were boring...boring boring boring.

Lilo and Stitch It's watchable; it's cute. Ehhh..but it's not really a movie that I enjoy. Some parts were just bleugh.

Home on the Range Like The Black Cauldron, it was better than I expected, but it was very boring and I wasn't even paying attention the whole time.

The only I can think of right now would be Cinderella! I always just thought it was boring and the songs with the mice. :P

In no specific order:
Finding Nemo
Cinderella
Oliver and Company
The Hunchback of Notre' Dame
The Black Cauldron
Pocahontas
All of the package films(except for Ichabod/Mr.Toad)
Alot of the sequels


I know the sequels and Finding Nemo aren't part of the 44 classics, but they were pretty bad so I included them!

I used to dislike Dumbo until the last time I saw it. I couldn't believe how radically that one viewing changed my feelings on that movie. I think I used to believe Dumbo was boring. Though of course I always thought the "Pink Elephants on Parade" sequence was exceptional. That last time I saw the film, I saw it for how amazing a film it really is.

i really do enjoy all the films bc i respect the hard work and dedication to each, but it's almost only for that reason that i watch any of these...

The Black Cauldron- to be honest me and my friends will watch the black cauldron bc it makes us laugh. it's not horrible but you could tell that it didn't end up the way that disney wanted it!

Saludos Amigos & The 3 Caballeros- can't really stand them for too long, but it's been a while since i have seen either...

Treasure Planet- call me unimaginative, but i can't get past the whole old-style ship and breathing in space thing... why couldnt they just make a really good normal treasure island?

Make Mine Music- sigh...

It's really not cool to see all this dislike for great Disney animated classics like The Black Cauldron, The Three Caballeros, and Pocahontas. First of all, I didn't used to like Pocahontas. But I watched it with the right mindset, the one the filmmakers must have hoped viewers would have, and it's not hard to see what a great movie it really is. Even for those who said historical accuracy has nothing to do with why they dislike it. The characters and events are exactly what they should have been in this film. And it's anything but boring. It's one of the most beautiful Disney animated movies from the 90s. Though I must say the music was a bit of a disappointment, upon my latest viewing. The vocals didn't seem as solid as perhaps they should have. Disney sure handled this plot better than the one for Fox and the Hound.

Also, about The Black Cauldron. This is an amazing film. I can't believe anyone would dislike it and still call themself a Disney fan. To hear it puts me in awe. And believe me, I don't even like sword-and-sorcery epics. But I LOVE this movie.

I guess out of all the ones I've seen I would pick Treasure Planet as my least favorite.

Oz: Yeah, but, you know, since the best jazz is improvisational, we'd be going off in all directions, banging into floats... scary.

I think one of the reasons I dislike Fox and the Hound so much is, how can Disney make light of hunting for sport? They are the animation-studios foremost leader in making movies sensitive toward what it feels like for animals to be in life-or-death situations. How can you love a movie like Fox and the Hound, with it's glorification of slaughtering animals as a BONDING experience, after seeing Bambi STALKED by rabid dogs, or Lady trapped by the dog catcher, or the fish in Finding Nemo harassed by vicious glass-tappers? Of course there are quite a few other examples, but Fox and the Hound's team should have taken a different road than the one they did.

Then of course there is the way Copper keeps jumping sides based on the influence of Amos and Chief. He forgets his friendship's true meanings, only when it's convenient for the plot. The moments where he almost gives Todd away are too staged and fake. And I don't think this would matter at all, if this movie hadn't gone out of it's way to cast very familiar actors in the main roles. I mean, look how we take Pete's Dragon apart for it's acting, which we should do of course because for a live-action movie with actors playing characters we have to believe in to a degree. Acting can be affected by poor story structure and Fox has one of the worst Disney stories. Songs could make up for some of this, but this has the distinction of being one of the least musical Disney animated classics. The songs that are in the film are so unmemorable, they might as well not be there.

I say that the worst Disney Classics are:

-Alice in Wonderland because the story is very slow and boring
-The Aristocats because I didn't like the story
