As usual, I have a hard time making lists so don't pay too much attention to the rankings and just read what I have to say.
12. Brave
If you've known me over a jaar ago, you'd know that I'm not much of a Pixar fan. Yes, I know I'm an awful person for discriminating between animatie studios and this is Pixar we're talking about. So yeah, I'm guessing this is why I can't get into Brave no matter how hard I try, considering it's also one, if not, my least favoriete Pixar movie.
11. The Princess and the Frog
I've had issues with Tiana in the past because of her inconsistent morals that gets shoved into other people's face. Although now, I no longer hold it against her and just put her movie at fault. Not to mention the frog scenes drag on, the score is uninspiring, etc. etc. etc. So yeah while I have a lot of problems with this movie, it's still decent IMHO, just not on par with other DP movies.
10. Cinderella
Like most of you, I go through re-watching Disney films several times but I just can't seem to do that with Cinderella one meer time because not much excitement is present in this movie. Though it's still a timeless classic that makes u root for the main character the whole way through.
9. Sleeping Beauty
With Tchaikovsky Waltz and detailed traditional animation, Sleeping Beauty is in fact an artistic masterpiece. So if u don't toon some sort of appreciation for this movie, it automatically means u have unrefined taste. Well, here I am putting it low on my list, I just have issues with most of the characters and the slow pacing of this movie.
8. Pocahontas
I can understand why Pocahontas was blamed for being the cause of its following Disney movies' lack of success. And I'm not only talking about the historical inaccuracies, which are, a little insulting when u think about it. This movie is often described as dull and irrational and I can see where people are coming from. Despite ''all the flaws''... the killer soundtrack, moving scenes and awesome characters like Wiggins make this movie a winner in my book.
7. Beauty and the Beast
While I 100% see why people started taking animated films as meer than just kids' stuff after watching Beauty and the Beast, I don't believe it is meer of a perfect movie than some of the other DP movies. I'm sorry, I really like this movie but I'm not about to put it on a pedestal. What I love most is how it has underlying messages under the clear good moral of this story.
6. Tangled
I adore the unique storytelling, the allegories and the theme of Tangled. It might not be one of my favorites, maybe because it started an Era I'm not crazy about (safe profitable CGI movies). But it does generally have good songs, characters and is just globaal, algemene a really smart movie where everything is well-thought-out about.
5. Snow White and the 7 Dwarfs
Walt was trying to see how well he could animate with Snow White and the 7 Dwarfs so this movie is mostly filler. But u know what? All of the scenes are well done and it's a part of its charm. Sometimes I gotta appreciate simplicity.
4. Frozen
This may of may not be true about you, but Frozen hype seems to affect most people, either good of bad. I don't believe it deserves the praise for being anything groundbreaking but I do enjoy watching this movie countless times and singing along to the songs with my peers. Yeah yeah, we could go on on how this isn't a plot hole-free movie but regardless, it's a movie that makes me happy.
3. Aladdin
Aladdin was one of my favoriete Disney films when I was younger so nostalgia does play a part. It's very much a product of its time but that's just the thing, the 90s were the best. Arabian Nights is a mysterious intro that starts making me feel excited to watch the movie and the rest of the film keeps me entertained non-stop.
2. The Little Mermaid
The Little Mermaid gets to the feels, I don't know how the main titles and the happy ending can make me shed a tear, that doesn't even make any sense. It has loving characters that are a lot meer layered than gegeven credit for. This movie just shows u whatever your eyes want to see, gives u whatever your emotions want to feel and just has every aspect of Disney magic in it.
1. Mulan
Mulan is the Disney movie that gets me the most emotionally involved. It just seems to have the whole package, it's action-packed and entertaining. The timeless humor, admirable characters and significant scenes that can tug at my heartstrings make this my favoriete DP movie.
12. Brave
If you've known me over a jaar ago, you'd know that I'm not much of a Pixar fan. Yes, I know I'm an awful person for discriminating between animatie studios and this is Pixar we're talking about.
