I know we're probably supposed to pick one of the classics, but in all honesty, I can't. Emperor's New Groove is just too trippy to pass up.

Because you had to go and mention Disney: http://redpanda29.kinja.com/i-am-not-a-gro…

Straight answer: Robin Hood.

Also I recently watched Sleeping Beauty so I can be informed when I get around to Maleficent , and realizing that instead of making Maleficent , they should have just made a movie about the 3 badass fairies who have to save the (complete non-entity) prince and princess half a dozen times.

I love that the romance is like the tertiary plot there.

Goal 1: Open my own business

Goal 2: Stop being a frog

Goal 3: Possibly allow this dude to date me if he gets his shit together.

The Fox & The Hound holds very fond memories for me, though my absolute favorite has got to be Aladdin .

On the other hand, if you want to straight up terrorize children with some Disney classics, go with Fantasia . The Sorcerer's Apprentice is anxiety-inducing, Rite of Spring is bizarrely depressing, and Night on Bald Mountain is the stuff of nightmares.

Never ever ever read the book it's based on. Ever. It's a seriously dark story with no happy ending. So dark.

Aikage > Be Good Gerdie
11/06/2014 at 09:41

I was surprised how much I liked this movie. I think because like someone mentioned about Princess and the Frog the story wasn't GIRL TRYING TO WIN HEART, and was instead Girl showing she can throw down.

Hell, he has to go chase her down in the end.

omnichad > story645
11/06/2014 at 09:42

I really want to say Aladdin, but Disney's refusal to release a 20th anniversary Blu-Ray for the last few years makes me angry. Especially now with Robin Williams gone. I mean, good for them for not cashing in on his death, but I really want to watch one of his best performances.

So it's a tie between Lilo & Stitch and The Emperor's New Groove.

Kastle Thymely and Sage > story645

It's a tie between The Land Before Time and Jumanji.

OHHHH DISNEY.

OK. Sticking with Robin Williams for this one - Aladdin! Probably tied with Lion King because it gave us all the ability to lift our pets into the air proudly and sing, THE CIRCLE OF LIFE! Also my favorite song of any Disney movie:

My favorite Disney movie has always been Robin Hood—and I still think it has the best music (Roger Miller!).

I have kind of a funny story to share unrelated to Disney: My work voice mail messages are transcribed and sent to my email by some program we use. This morning, there is a call about employee verification, which I get a lot of, only this is how the name is transcribed:

some hot tea disk mocha

Guys, I'm stumped. LOLing forever.

Do I have a favourite Disney? I did find out that some movies I particularly like turned out to be Disney, but I forgot which ones.

Also I found out about that working hoverboard thing like a week late, but I'm quite excited nonetheless. I never really cared for them as a child but Gizmodo got me into it, and at some point I came up with a way to make them hover that probably will never work but it got me obsessed anyway. And now they're real! Please tell me I can ride one before my body gets old, fragile and inflexible.

Lots to like about this show; definitely worth a look, particularly if you're weary of the traditional Disney princess formula.

My favorite Disney-related movie moment is probably this one from The Last Days of Disco:

I said it out loud to myself several times, and was able to figure it out (somehow). I think it's a combination of there not being Indian names in their system and also that the person who called totally butchered the name.

I love Mulan and Hercules. I wish the ladies on the vase could narrate my life, for real.

Right now, though, it's the Rodgers and Hammerstein's Cinderella from 1997. The one with Brandy as Cinderella and Whitney Houston as the fabulous fairy godmother. It is total eye candy, I love the design of the whole film.

mcseanerson > story645
11/06/2014 at 11:50

As a boy growing up I always kind of felt like I was forgotten by Disney and so Aladdin was my first favorite because it was the first one I felt was more aimed at me. Grown up and not concerned about stuff like that I find The Emperor's New Groove the most entertaining because who doesn't love Patrick Warburton?

Kinja'd!!!

Overall those two are my favorites, but I think the best Disney track (for me) has gotta be Part of Your World.

I remember a redhead girl sang it my senior year of high school for a big, random assortment musical performance-thing and half way through her number I was like "I CAN FEEL AGAIN."

Some tears were shed. More than a few.

but I wasn't alone in my tears.

...just in the being isolated from the rest of the world.

Sleeping Beauty has that one scene with the creepy-ass music and everything is green and that makes me just adore the entire film.

Also when the fairies are trying to bake a cake and make the dress. "Fold 2 eggs."

11/06/2014 at 12:53

It is. I've figured out 90% of people's comfort level with board games is like.... Backgammon at most. Introduce RESOURCES and TERRITORY control and it immediately becomes boring and/or like fighting the Predator.

I think it's supposed to go more like:

"This is a game. DOTA2 is a game. Therefore since you liked this, you like DOTA2.

...

I'll see you in about eight hours. MOMMMM can you wipe porkchop?"

That's about the most realistic conversation I can generate for you.

I haven't rewatched it recently, but as a kid my favorite was Peter Pan. He could fly!

I also, as a full grown adult, still enjoy the Peter Pan ride at Disneyland, but the line to get on it has become longer and less tolerable as I've aged.
