i dunno how to categorize this. but here r the list of animated features i find to have more human drama than kiddish humor. thus making it very mature.

1.lady and the tramp
2.pocahontas
3.the hunchback of notre dame
4.bambi
5.101 dalmatians
6.pinocchio
7.the fox and the hound

whatchu think?

I'd add the Lion King to it. It had kiddish humor, but was also very dramatic and real.

Treasure Planet and The Aristocats

And Brother Bear

I'd definetely add Dumbo. Yes, it may be about a cute baby elephant, but there are some moments which rank as some of the most dramatic on film.

I'd also add Beauty and the Beast, Mulan and Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs

There were a few of them. Which Include.

1. The Aristocats
2. Treasure Planet
3. Brother Bear
4. Rescuers
5. Rescuers Down Under

i love these movies! the new movies that focus on a younger audience get tiresome, i would love to see disney release a really good dramatic animated movie again!

Disney really needs to drop the comical sidekicks!! That way the films would be a little more serious.
Movies that would have benefitted from lack of comical sidekick:
Pocahontas
Mulan
and some others

I like the sidekicks... well most of the time. They should have had reduced time in The Hunchback of Notre Dame.

Exactly my thought!

My favorites for drama are pretty limited but mostly the same as the rest of us:

Mulan
The Rescuers
The Rescuers Down Under
The Lion King
The Fox and the Hound
Lady and the Tramp
Sleeping Beauty

Those are my favorites and I watch them very regularly.

I'd say The Hunchback of Notre Dame and Pocahontas are my favorite adult-oriented animations.

I personally don't see anything wrong with the comical sidekicks. It keeps a movie from getting overly heavy and sap-infested, although I agree that sometimes they're just too over-the-top and don't fit in with the feel of the film. But in general I have nothing against them.

The Lion King truly had some of the most dramatic moments in any animated feature ever made. You should add it to ur list.

Yes, but precisely Hunchback didn't need them. It's more evident in "A Guy Like You" ; completely out of place.

I also think Beauty and the Beast should be on the list.

I think so too, though it has a different dramatic flair than, say HoND.

And I agree that HoND would have been better without the animated gargoyles (or if they really had just been a part of Quasi's imagination, which seems unlikely), but I can also see why they were included--for the kiddies and such, blah blah blah.

That list is not complete without The Incredibles!

I'd say the majority of the animated classics are dramatic. They've always incorporated comedic elements too (which, according to THE Whoopi Goldberg, is what really makes a success), but it's only in recent years that they've become comedic in focus, with a few exceptions.

They are just so....cliche`! Break away from the formula, follow Pixar.
