So that's another one I'd change

you did actually see Quest for Camelot, right? To say that I think it's awful and stupid would be an understatement. I'll spare you a long review but to make a long story short, it was to me one of the worst theatrically released animated features of all time. But I would love to hear why you think it's better than The Sword in the Stone? A movie I thought was strangely underrated.

I hope you're really just referring to your disappointment with the choice to make the Arthur story a fantasy comedy and not an epic adventure. That is something I can understand. The two headed dragon impersonating elvis was lost on me however. Was that an epic Arthurian element? Was the axe/chicken with no motive or relation to anything making sense... epic?

Sorry for my rambling I just hate that movie so much. I could forgive many of the Disney knock-offs and wannabes of the 90s for being inherently awful like Thumbelina and the likes, but this stinker was just too much.

Again, sorry for going off topic.

Pretty much the bold. I agree with you about the dragons. I hate them too. I was more referring to fact that it had a closer welsh/Celtic influence and mythology like the Artur stories should be. Merlin look like Merlin should be as oppose to generic blue wizard.
When I watched something about Arthur, I want see some epic ass kicking and high adventure, not some kid in training with comic relief here and there.

Aaah screw that.

If I could change the colors of the cat, the bird, and maybe the duck in Peter and the Wolf from Melody Time - I'd love to see that. I think that counts as re-animation. Also, the bald spot on the bird isn't so cute.

The gray clouds in the pink sky during the March of the Cards from Alice in Wonderland could be changed. Wouldn't hurt my feelings. Any other time gray and pink were combined as well. Maybe make the gray more blue.

Re-do Archimedes in the scene where he's on top of Merlin's head in Sword in the Stone. The scene where they're jumping on the rocks, about... 11 or so minutes in.

Change lots of colors in The Rescuers Down Under. Just to make it more interesting.

None really. I'd rather see something like this happen to "Star Trek: The Animated Series." I think re-animating that would be sweet! But, if I have to pick Disney films, I'd have to say, please re-animate every CG film into 2D. There are not too many yet, so it would not take forever. But I know that will never happen.

Any film that had to rush or have a lower budget. That even includes my favorite film Cinderella, I think with more time and a bigger budget it would be seen more on the level of the films of the Golden Age that ended just before it.

In general, I actually think all the films should have the best of all the other films in terms of how good they are visually:

The detail, shading, and multiplane camera use of the Golden Age films.

The ability at realism of Bambi and Cinderella and others.

The sculptural weight (?) of Lady and the Tramp.

The draftsmanship, detail, perfection and "every frame looks like a masterpiece" of Sleeping Beauty.

The technological abilities with shading, color, detail, and camera movement (including multiplane look) of films using CAPS.

Oh, yes, and Tangled be changed to Rapunzel in the CGI that looks more like the French Rococco paintings and the Walt era fairy tale films.
