I was actually the first person to vote when this thread was made, but I was too tired to make a post. That might be the one and only time I see
Treasure Planet at 100%.
1. Treasure Planet ~ Yes, the CGI is terrible (which is incredibly hilarious, considering they spent so much money trying to integrate it; with horrible results), the sidekicks are annoying (except for Morph, loved him), and some of the characters were miscast (imo), but Jim Hawkins is such a sweet and sympathetic character that I love love
love this movie. Gordon-Levitt did a great job, and the character's design and animation was really well-done. "I'm Still Here" is one of my favorite Disney scenes and John Silver is a rather unconventional antagonist, another shining point.
2. The Princess and the Frog ~ This movie doesn't really need to try hard to be at number 2, because I don't have a strong affinity to most of the 2000's films. It probably wouldn't do as well if placed alongside the 90s, but here it's like a "diamond in the rough."
3. The Emporer's New Groove ~ Yzma and Kronk keep this movie from drowning. Though I love John Goodman and I think David Spade did a good job, the protagonists were plain boring. I'm so glad Earth Kitt got to play such a superb Disney character before passing (Yzma has some excellent animation, btw). And still sometimes I really wonder what this movie could've been if it had been
The Kingdom in the Sun; that still sounds like a great movie to me (and it's different enough from
TENG that, who knows, it could end up coming true in 20-30 years).
4. Meet the Robinsons ~ Really liked this movie, easily the best CGI film Disney's had. I think the only negative thing about this movie is the middle, where the pointlessly large, one-liner, Pixar-like cast takes over. But the main characters are pretty good and the ending was perfect (one of the few to actually make me teary every time I see it).
5. Lilo & Stitch ~ I have actually had an unexplainable hatred for this movie for a long time, but watching it recently I liked it a tad better than before. I don't know, the sci-fi thing really turned me off. That, and Lilo being a brat the whole movie. She sometimes looks like that Sesame muppet Ernie, or whatever his name was. So, Elvis, sci-fi, and an annoying main character all bring this movie down for me personally, though Nani and David are strong characters. I also felt the ending, with Stitch's "hug-me" speech (combined with sappy voice), was over-done, becoming forced and hardly emotional.
6. Atlantis: The Lost Empire ~ Unlike with
Meet the Robinsons and countless Pixar films, the large cast here is done properly, each having a personality/role and all being likable. Even Mrs. Packard is hilarious to me. The background characters and the animation definitely excel in this movie. Though it's hard to make up for a bland main character and an overly complex plot (it seemed like it was trying to be complex just for the sake of it, coming off a bit ridiculus). Still, it's overall a likable film for me.
7. Dinosaur ~ I've actually always liked this movie. I think the problems it has are the lemurs and a
Land Before Time plotline. But I can often overlook that because of Joan Plowright and Della Reese(yay!)'s characters. (HOLY CRAP! I was just glancing over the wikipedia page and found out that Samuel Wright was in this movie--I'm a little ashamed to not have known that! He must've done a pretty good job if I didn't even recognize him here)
8. Home on the Range ~ I enjoy the animation most in this film. Also, Menken's music is, of course, a highlight, though he never gets a chance to really shine here. Unlike most people it seems, I actually found the yodeling cowboy villain (and his nephew-sidekicks) to be the only interesting part of the film; they were completely hilarious. The cows, however, are just blah. It's funny that I generally like all three of the voice actors (Judi Dench, Jennifer Tilly, and even Roseanne Barr), but they seem incredibly horrid in this movie. Really miscast, I think. Though that might be because it was just a bad film--maybe they could've played the roles well given better material.
9. Bolt ~ I didn't really like this movie. The hamster/gerbil needed to die, the cat was totally miscast (with an ugly design), and the story was so been-there-done-that in other, better films. I have to admit that I liked Bolt a lot though, and Travolta did a pretty good job voicing him. But, even here, I still don't think Disney's been strong with their 3D output. There's still this kind of stiffness at times (particularly with the boardroom scene where the woman in charge is threatening to nix the show) that you don't find in Pixar films. I actually think they did somewhat better with
Meet the Robinsons, animation-wise.
Brother Bear and
Chicken Little are both so bad, they don't even deserve to be on this list. And I have nothing against
Fantasia 2000, but I really never felt enough for it or the original to think of what to say about it. I
like it, I just don't think of it in the same terms as other films. It's more like watching Pixar's Shorts. Not really a movie, so much as an animation extravaganza.
