Alphabetic order would be nice here.

[Disney's Divinity]

I think toplaycool22 put them in order of release.

As far as Disney goes, I do hope The Little Mermaid gets in there someday. I do think it was influential, considering how many animated films (Disney or otherwise) aped its "formula" for years afterwards. I can understand if Aladdin is excluded though.

You know, now that you mention it- I was thinking it looked cluttered not being arranged alphabetically. But I suppose it's bound to look that way, anyway. (I'm clearly way too preoccupied with post presentation. I gotta stop that.)

Poor, maligned Aladdin.
