I prefer the fourth golden age since I grew up in the 1990s (though I was born in 1988).

For me, it has to be 1989-1994, as I have such a love for The Little Mermaid. But, I adore all the movies like Cinderella, Alice, Peter Pan etc. Very tough call!

i'd go with Golden Age 2. they have the finest, most stylish, uniform look and feel.they're all flawless. to me. and i never get tired of any one of them compared with Golden Age 3.

All....
I think that three golden ages have a great quality

A couple of years ago I would have said the third age without hesitiation, but now I'd actually place it as my least favourite, and put the first golden age on top.

Snow White, Pinocchio, and Dumbo are all just amazing.

It's a tie for me between 1937 - 1942 and 1950 - 1967

Pinocchio is my all time favorite disney film and fantasia and bambi are both terrific.

BUT, Peter pan, Jungle book, alice in wonderland are right behind. Love them to death.

And frankly, I hate the 1989-1994 years. I'm not fond of these movies.

The 50's-70's were my favorite disney golden age


Sword In The Stone is my all time favorite Animated Disney film of all time.

Bedknobs And Broomsticks is my all time favorite Live Action film, with Freaky Friday (1976) at a close second.

Yeah! Finally some one acknowledging how great sword in the stone is. It's even more underrated than robin hood and both appear in my top 5 probably.

Sword in the Stone isn't under-rated; it's just a bit crap.

Out of the movies you listed, I like the 1950-1967's years the best!

1937 - 1942

- Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs

- Fantasia
- Dumbo
- Bambi

1950 - 1967

- Cinderella
- Alice in Wonderland
- Peter Pan
- Lady and the Tramp
- Sleeping Beauty
- One Hundred and One Dalmatians
- The Jungle Book

1989 - 1994

- The Little Mermaid
- Beauty and the Beast
- Aladdin
- The Lion King

And which film is your favourite from each period?

My favourite period is 1937 - 1942, but I love all 3. My favourite film being Fantasia. Peter Pan from 1950 - 1967 and Beauty and the Beast from 1989 - 1994

it all deppends on my mood, overall i the lion king is my favorite disney movie ever, but i can't say that that is my favorite period even though i love all those movies. it's tto hard to choose. you listed my all time favorites and they are all in three different ages

I say Golden Age 1.

Well, then how come Alice is listed? I don't think that film is anymore "Golden" than Sword.

How the heck should I know? I just like Alice over the Sword in the Stone since it ranges in the 50s era. I do however like The Sword in the Stone. Its just not one of my favorites. And I never actually knew why it wasnt ranked with them which is why I asked is it?

So is the Sword in The Stone considerd to be apart of Disney's second Golden Age? Cause Apparently Alice isnt anymore Golden then The Sword in the Stone. Actually I don't think any Disney film is any more Golden then an other. There all Golden. I just like some more then others.

Well, considering Alice in Wonderland part of the Golden Era and not Sword in the Stone makes sense. No, I'm not saying that because an Alice fanatic. While it's true that Alice tanked financially (just like Pinocchio, Fantasia, and Sleeping Beauty, mind you), the film has grown in popularity and appreciation over the years. Disney acknowledges it as one of their classics (even if it's more in the upper-middle class than outright upper class). Disney churns out merchandise for it on a semi-regular basis (though not often enough for me), and the film is prominent in all of Disney's theme parks. When people hear the title Alice in Wonderland, they usually think of the Disney one. The Sword in the Stone is a different matter, though. Disney largely ignores it, and so does the general public. Merchandise for it is pretty much non-existent, and the film was only represented in Disney's theme parks by an audience participation show that has now been replaced. Most people won't recognize the film's title if you told it to them. It's basically part of Disney's lower class, even if it does have its share of fans. While Sword in the Stone is one of my least favorite Disney films, I'm not being biased. The Hunchback of Notre Dame is my third favorite Disney film, yet I know it's not part of Disney's third golden era and is at best part of Disney's lower-middle class.

I agree DisneyKid. It does make sense actually, and thats definitely not a biased opinion.

This is my first post here

I literally love this site as I just recently found out what the Platinum Editions were via Peter Pan and I decided I needed them all , so I got them all of Amazon and Amazon's market place for a fair price.

I think that the golden age really is the 90's. With all due respect to Walt, I think that the film makers of the 90s wanted to make that Disney name something again. Growing up you KNEW Disney was the studio with the classics, and seeing The Lion King in the movies, and crying to Mufasa's death was truly something...

I think the Golden Era is seen by what most people have first hand experienced in the movies and what not, I think seeing it for the first time, and revisiting it surely leaves that nostalgic feeling to one.

(*btw I lurked here forever and DisneyKid your posts rock lol)

Welcome CampbellzSoup!!!

I have to say that simply because I have the fond memories of growing up actually seeing them and being excited for them to hit the big screens, the 3rd golden age is my favorite!

Thanks to Disneykid for explaining why I included Alice and not SitS. Regardless of what I may like, Alice IS regarded as a classic, whilst SitS is not, even if it was made between One Hundred and One Dalmatians and The Jungle Book. I cut off the 2nd Golden Age there because Walt died and although some of the films in the following "Dark Age" are loved (The Aristocats and The Rescuers mainly), they're certainly not on the same level as The Jungle Book et al.

I would say the 50's-60's era becacuse those films are flawless. My favorite from the 30's-40's era is Snow White, 50's-60's Alice, the ''Dark Ages'' The Rescuers. The 88-94 era The Lion King. From then on I'd say a tie between Mulan and Hunchback.
