My favorite Disney movie would have to be 101 Dalmatians since it is one of the first Disney movies I remember seeing.

My second favorite is Aladdin, because of both the songs and the casting.

If we include the Pixar movies, my absolute favorites are Finding Nemo / Cars / The Incredibles.

In the Disney classics, my all time favorite is Aladdin. I could watch it over and over again without being bored. And I must say that Atlantis is also one of my favorite movie ever.

There are so many Disney movies that see my DVD player, but if I had to pick one for the 'rewatchability' factor, my choice would be Old Yeller for the live action films, and for the animated ones, we watch Song of the South most, but since it is not readily available my second choice would have to be "Cars".

:D
The only way to watch movies - Original Aspect Ratio!!!!
I LOVE my Blu-Ray Disc Player!

Too many to choose from I guess...but a couple of my favorites would have to be The Lion King for a cartoon and for live action a toss up between Newsies and Swiss Family Robinson

The Little Mermaid, no doubt about it.

I feel so attached to it probably because it was the first Disney movie we ever owned back in 1990, and I vividly remember seeing it in the theater (though it was not the first Disney movie I saw on the big screen).

I still remember the hype surrounding this movie and everyone being blown away by the songs and animation. It was clearly something the world hadn't seen up that point.

So, the music, the artwork, the characters. There you go.

It is not that old, but BUMP!
Anyway, this is my 10:
10. Sister Act (I know, this particular movie is not Disney, but it feels like a musical of the Renassiance. If it is, this movie is definitely my favorite live action movie from this time period. It has something for everyone. From funny lines like "If this turns into a Nun's bar, I am out of here," and "How come convents don't have Butter Pecan ice cream?" For the inspired songs, like Hail Holy Queen and I Will Follow Him, while they were more or less remakes, they were wonderful! The villain was also very evil, I mean, who would attack Sisters? Very Good!)
9. Pete's Dragon (This is a very underrated Disney masterpiece. I loved the humor and songs in this movie, and also Helen Reddy as Nora.)
8. Music of the Heart (This is also another great live action movie! While most may not consider it Disney, it also feels like a Disney movie. The music, while it may not be sung, is great. It definitely has the most original script.)
7. Cinderella (Now I am finally in the Animated movies! This is certainly the most whimisical of Disney features, with the mice. They hog up most of the screen time but are much needed humor! The fairy godmother was also a great source of humor as well. Humor is only part of this movie's charm. Like the above, it also had great music. I always enjoyed this movie!)
6. Hercules (While it may not be the best Disney movie, it is definitely the most fun to watch! It also had wonderful humor. I loved Philotetes and Meg. Hades is the funniest Disney villain in my opinion. This also had a nice script.)
5. The Little Mermaid (I loved the musical score for this movie, especially at the beginning. While it may not be true to the Hans Christian Andersen fairy tale, it was a good change!)
4. Legend of Sleepy Hollow (It may not be a Feature Film, but it was very good! Bing Crosby was just as good in this as he was in Holiday Inn, which is my favorite outside of Disney movie. It had a nice story, which was complemented by the great musical score.)
3. The Old Parent Trap (This is my Aunt's favorite Disney movie, and I agree with her! It had a great story, nicely complemented by the wonderful performance of Haley Mills and who else but Haley Mills, who is my favorite tween star for Disney, eat your heart out, Miley! It also has a nice musical score and villain.)
2. Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (It is definitely one that I enjoy when I was younger because I remember acting out this, Sleeping Beauty, and Mary Poppins when I was a child. I also like this movie not only because the reasons I mentioned above, it was the first animated feature, so I bet that is Walt's first credential.)
1. Beauty and the Beast (This is obviously my most favorite Disney movie! It is everything a Disney movie should be. With great songs, great characters, a good story, a menacing villain, it is no wonder this was nominated for Best Picture!)
Honorable Mentions (no reasons why, though, sorry!)
10. Sister Act 2
9. 101 Dalmatians
8. Bedknobs and Broomsticks
7. Who Framed Roger Rabbit?
6. Song of the South
5. Summer Magic
4. Pocahontas
3. Wild Hearts Can't Be Broken
2. The Hunchback of Notre Dame
1. Mary Poppins
