While I have many disagreements with some orderings as expected, it’s clear from the amount of detail you put in, how passionate you are about Disney’s animation lineup, as all of who came here are.

Okay, what the hell is that bullshit about Hunchback’s soundtrack!? It easily puts up some huge competition for the best soundtrack Disney has ever composed, only rivaled by Beauty and the Beast and Frozen. With the exception of Guy Like You, every single number is a musical masterpiece that I have no idea HOW one can associate the word “forgettable” with. The stage musical makes it even better with some incredible new songs written for it.

Peter Pan is hands down top 5, unfortunately its “problematic” so gets bumped thirty spots. Sad and sick.

Just a point,I think the removal of Pua (and his subsequent replacement with the brainless, hilarious chicken, a brother to Becky from Finding Dory) is a comedic subversion of the classic animal sidekick. Thanks for this guys, always enjoy the time spent reading these.

In reply to Rose Dybsky. Pixar, not Disney

So you’ve appointed a film plagiarized almost completely from a revered anime classic as #1? Bah. It looks great, the music is great, it made boatloads of money (and still is), but it’s still basically “Kimba The White Lion” from top to bottom. And “Lilo and Stitch”, one of the most irritating, grating, can’t-wait-till-it-ends films of all time, featuring the most annying lead character (Stitch) in Disney’s entire collection of them, in the top 10? Arrgh! And if there’s a truly underrated and underappreciated film that Disney made, it’s “The Black Cauldron”, a film that continues to be unfairly maligned by most people, which is a shame – it’s better than most of the films ranked above it, especially swill like “Atlantis” and “Treasure Planet”, and deserves to be considered a classic fantasy film. I also think the beauty of many of the classic compilation films of the 40’s and 50s, like “Fun and Fancy Free” and “Make Mine Music” are lost on today’s audiences, who aren’t used to such things; they’re not home runs, but they’re not as bad as you make them out to be either.

I think Treasure Planet should be higher. I’d put Beauty and the Beast at #1

Another rather pointless and spuriously (or deliberately obtuse) ordered chart from the otherwise sophisticated Playlist. You can do far better film journalism than this, folks. You’re better than Buzzfeed. And really? The Lion King? For all its charms, the third act falls to bits.

Someone needs to explain to me why The Lion King is considered to have such a great message.. Most of the movie is spent on Simba's lazy bum period. The only "work" to rebuild all that his uncle destroyed is the fight between Simba and Scar. Then after the villain is dispatched, boom, everything is wonderful. I mean, come on! This movie teaches kids that you can be a lazy bum for most of your life, engage in violence, and then with no work visible, everything that was messed up is now better. Yup, The Lion King teaches that laziness and violence solve all of your problems!
