First of all, don't you know how to make capital letters at the beginning of sentences? And don't you read your posts for correct grammar? I don't like being the watchdog over correct spelling, but the word is "stupid" NOT 'stupit' and the word "doesn't" is spelled INCORRECTLY!!!!

No personal attack here, just trying to remind you that someone is watching and your English grammar should be corrected while you are young, and now is the right time.

Your sentence (one of many) should have read:

'Anyone who thinks these films are for girls is simply stupid and he doesn't understand.'

The only Disney movie that I didn't care for was "The Moon-Spinners". I'd like to watch it again sometime- maybe I'd like it more. I just found it to be a bit confusing.

I can't really say I hate any of them. I think a few of the sequels are less than impressive, but I think some of the sequels have been great too.

Ouch. Way to slam the poor kid on his/her grammar. Why do you care so much?

Can't say that I like any Disney movie that was a direct-to-video release. If they weren't good enough for the theater, then they mostly aren't good enough for my collection. That being said, I do own a couple of them - The Lion King II: Simba's Pride, and The Lion King 1 1/2. While neither of those are equal to The Lion King itself, they do stand alone as pretty good entertainment.

Probaly Lion King, Toy Story, and Finding Nemo. The reason that I dislike Lion King is because Scar was always scary to me as a kid. He still gives me chills. I also never liked Simba. Just something about him. I really don't know what it was. And then, about Toy Story, when I was growing up I just found buddy stories to be boring. The same goes with Finding Nemo. I do enjoy Toy Story 2, though. And not even going to talk about Cinderella 2: Dreams Come True.

Well, first, I haven't seen the following (not because I don't want to, just didn't get the chance in theaters and haven't bought them yet):

Ratatouille, Valiant, Home on the Range, and I could be forgetting something.




From the ones I've seen, I don't really hate any but I didn't really like the following:

James and the Giant Peach, Atlantis, and Chicken Little.



As for some I felt could have or should have been better (and I'm not including any direct to video stuff here, which I'm not a hater of, but it's a mixed bag):

Jungle Book 2 (which was an idea with a lot of potential but the result was not bigscreen worthy and did not live up to the possibilities).

The original Rescuers: The overall visuals are a bit too drab for my tastes. I like the story and characters and all though, and I LOVE the sequel.

Aristocats: Like Rescuers, I like this movie, but the plot just wasn't "enough" for me. I think Phil Haris's voice (did I spell his name right) is what really makes the movie for me. I love his Disney characters.

The Wild: If you could call it a true Disney film, I enjoyed it and it had some really great moments, but it was yet another computerized animated film that felt like it was trying too hard.

Heffalump Movie was mostly good but way too blunt in the idea it was trying to get across.

Black Cauldron: I like this one fairly well because it had guts, and I liked Gurgi, Eilonwy, and the Horned King. Still, I confess that it was lacking something. It's kinda like Oliver and Company though. O&C is a better movie, but it has the problem of being soooo dated. Love it though.

Also, I generally liked Return to Neverland, but they should have cut those awful songs out (the pop songs like Faith, Trust, and Pixie Dust).


On a side note, much hated stuff like Treasure Planet, Hercules, Hunchback of Notre Dame, and now Pocahontas (since they've restored that one scene) I absolutely loved and feel are totally underrated!

Now, I do own Brother Bear and Dinosaur, but I really haven't watched them much or in a long time, so no comment.

I just see nothing there characterwise, storywise or animationwise.


I have to agree with most everything you said about "Alice". It's the first movie that came to my mind when I saw the topic.
I don't agree with you about the animation part, though. I think its animation is great, but since the movie has absolutely no value when it comes to story, I see no reason to watch this film.

Another film that's kind of hard for me to watch is "The Lion King". It was all the rage when I was 9 years old. I couldn't get enough of it. I even had a Lion King birthday party with all my presents being Lion King merchandise.
So after watching it more times than any other Disney film, I'm a little sick of it.

In no particular order:

1. Chicken Little - It's the worst pathetic excuse for a Disney film.

2. Pinocchio - Incoherent flow of the plot.

3. Bambi - Poorly executed. Could've been much better.

4. Atlantis: The Lost Empire - zzzzz

5. The Aristocats - I don't hate it. I just dislike it with great intensity.

6. The Wild - Waste of time.

7. Cinderella II: Dreams Come True - Ugh.

8. Snow Whi... *gets shot*

I don't really hate any disney movies, but there are ones that I'll use as background noise. Here's my list:


Chicken Little - I honestly don't care too much for any of the computer animated ones, just because it doesn't have that charm a hand drawn movie has.

The Rescuers - It was a bit drab like S2M said, all around it was just dreary and dark.

Atlantis - I felt like it was rushed near the end, they should have spent more time in Atlantis or something. It was almost like "ok we're here let's do a mad rush to the credits" type feel after they found the city.

The Wild and Dinosaur: See Chicken Little note

Home On The Range - It kinda felt like it dragged on a bit, I haven't seen it in a while though

Fantasia - Wow it's like one loooong "will this ever end" type movie for me when I was little, which left a lasting impression. However now that I'm somewhat wiser I'm enjoying it more for what it is. Chernabog steals the show IMO :lol:

Oliver and Company - I haven't seen it for a while which sort of says a lot because usually I'm always grabbing a different Disney movie off the shelf, and this one has just sat there for......a couple years now or more.

Aside from that.....most sequels are always background noise for me or any of the above. I'm pretty sure thats it.......oh and Monsters Inc...and the Incredibles :lol: ok I'm done now :D

I think some of you are confusing matter of opinion with fact. Just because you don't like the movie or happen to hate the movie doesn't mean it's a bad movie. Those are your personal feelings, and you have every right to them. But please, don't say Bambi is mediocre simply because you can't sit through it. I think classics such as Bambi are nowadays so sacred that no-one can possibly say that they're crap. Yes! In this case you're not entitled to your opinion! :P Har Har Har!

To make my point clearer, I understand that Chicken Little is one of Disney's all-time weakest films, but I like it a lot, and bought the DVD, and watched it a couple of days ago, and really enjoyed it. But just because I really enjoyed it doesn't mean I'm going to rate it in Disney's top ten movies of all time and tout it as Disney's masterpiece. Get it?

Soooooo ... Films I hate. There aren't any really. I can't hate a Disney film (but I've seen almost none of the sequels so I may change my mind).

Films I dislike ... Definitely Pete's Dragon. I think that that is my least favourite Disney film. With Red Buttons looking sillier every second and with parts of the cast showcasing less than impressive acting, I think it's a rather embarrassing entry in Disney's library. At least Helen Reddy and "Candle on the Water" prevent it from sinking totally out of sight.

Strangely, when I bought the Fox and the Hound recently, I too found it hard to sit through. I remember enjoying it when I was younger, so I was surprised to find myself almost gasping at the stiflingly slow pacing.

Chicken Little was truly an embarrassing piece of cinema, and definitely the worst of Disney's animated classics. I also didn't like Atlantis, Treasure Planet and Melody Time all that much, but I think that a second viewing could possibly help me improve my feelings on them.

Oh, and let's not forget various Disney Channel stuff, as well as cheapy live-action films from across the decades, as well as the DVT sequels from a few years ago (yes, the switching of the T and V was intentional...too many viewings can cause your veins to explode :p).

Chicken Little-It was just a disappointment. It tried too hard to compete with other cgi movies.

Atlantis-I do not remember anything about this movie and I rented it a few years back. It was boring and forgettable.

Treasure Planet-Like Atlantis, this was boring and forgettable.

Any Direct-to-Video Sequel-I do not really like DTVs at all. They ruin the image of the classic Disney movies.

Max Keeble's Big Move-This has to be the worst live action Disney move ever made. The jokes are awful and the acting is worse. it does not feel like a Disney movie at all.

Pinocchio, Bambi, The Country Bears, Atlantis II, the animated 101 Dalmations II, and Home on the Range.

My fingers wanted to type "102" when typing the title to the animated Dalmations sequel. To add a bit to what has already been said about some of these movies, The Country Bears had horrible effects and was an insult to country music. I actually like country music. Atlantis II literally bored me to sleep. Grace is the only reason I sat through Home on the Range.

By the way, I have not seen The Wild, but I do not plan to. I saw the non-Disney movie Madagascar at a free movie showing, and I still want my "money" (also known as my wasted time) back.

That is absurd. "Well, since I'm a stereotypical male chauvinist who cannot be made to see reason, I hate all the well-known Disney films in which females are the lead characters. These, I hate since I obviously do not know what I am talking about."

Another one that has occurred to me is 'Sleeping Beauty', though in this case 'hate' is a very, very strong word. It's more that I rather dislike the fact that so many rank it above films like '101 Dalmatians', 'Snow White' and even 'Pinocchio', which to me seem far superior and more artistically successful. It's just too much of an obvious copy of Snow White for my tastes (though 'Cinderella' contains many of the same elements, it is more successful at dressing them up in a different way), and all the attempts to make the story different from Snow White's actually make it a weaker film overall. I don't quite understand it's title of 'artistic success' when, to me, the various design elements don't work together very well (a result of Eyvind Earle's stubborness and the lack of a guiding force in Walt). The things I really do love about it are the parts with Maleficent and the brilliant score (which is why 'hate' is such a strong word), but I feel that all the artistic effort put into the film was badly spent, particularly if one compares the film to the likes of 'Pinocchio' and 'Fantasia', where the enormous amount of craft works with the various elements of the film rather than against it.

As I said, I quite like some elements of it, and rank it above most of the modern classics. I certainly don't 'hate' it, but I really don't think it's the fifth greatest Disney Classic of all time, by any stretch.

I found that Sleeping Beauty obviously copied a great deal from both Snow White and Cinderella. It is my least favorite of the original "princess" movies for this reason.
