Favorite Disney Renaissance Movie

This may be hard. Please don't hurt yourself trying to make a decision


As difficult as this decision is for me (I love the Lion King, Mulan, Hercules, Beauty and the Beast), I'm gonna have to go with Aladdin. I love it, and I watched it more than any others when I was a kid. We watched it about a week or two ago at school and I got that warm, fuzzy nostalgia feeling

Hercules, Mulan, Pocahontas, Hunchback and Tarzan were all part of the renaissance but Lilo And Stitch wasn't? I mean...to me all those movies seemed to just herald the end of days for enjoyable Disney animated movies...but then Lilo And Stitch came and tricked me into thinking it was back. I also hear The Emperor's New Groove is good but I have never seen it.

I liked Emperor's New Groove a lot.

Not sure how they came to decide when the Renaissance took place, but it basically just spans 1989-1999. Lilo & Stitch and Emperor's New Groove came later.

That's sad, I only think half those movies are enjoyable.

I can't say that I especially dislike any of them. Though I've only seen Pocahontas and Hunchback once each.

The only one I didn't like was The Rescuers Down Under, never cared for that.

Anyways my favorite is easily The Lion King, my all-time favorite animated movie in general, and one of my favorite movies altogether. Seen it so many times it is like the only movie I can almost quote word for word. Love the soundtrack too.

Aladdin, Beauty and The Beast, Tarzan and The Little Mermaid would tie for second though. Pocahontas and Hunchback of Notre Dame would come after that. Mulan and Hercules were the weakest of the bunch but I do like them.

Mulan weak?

My heart just broke!

haha sorry. I don't particularly think that either Mulan or Hercules are weak, cause both are great movies, it's just that out of that group (and excluding Rescuers) they are the weakest.

I was extremely bored by both of those movies in particular

NOOOO!!! Mulan is grrrrreat!

I think that "I'll Make A Man Out of You" is not only the best song in that movie, but one of my favorite Disney songs everrr. Soo good.

Jessie! Back me up!!

I was soooooooooo bored.....but also Eddie Murphy didn't help, whenever I see him or hear his voice my brain turns off and I fly into a rage.

I would love to see this Eddie Murphy induced rage.

Come to my house and turn on Shrek....it'll happen.

Oh no! Does this mean you hate Shrek?

(That thread is coming by the way...)

I think it's one of the worst movies I've ever seen.

Holy shit. You against the majority of the world (and by world I'm mean children and their soccer-mom parents).

You hate happiness, don't you?

I usually am against them, it's true.

I like Shrek, though I'll agree that Eddie Murphy is annoying, Donkey is one of the few roles of his I can stand. Also really liked Mushu (Mulan). But that's just me lol

I guess I don't mind him in roles where I don't have to look at him. I tend to hate everything live-action he's done in recent memory. Him playing twelve different characters in the same movie just. isn't. funny. As for older stuff, I can't really say. I've never seen old Eddie Murphy stuff.

But like Pete, I like Mushu and Donkey

-rushes in with a cape- SORRY I'M LATE, DOUG!

Although I am a fan of Mulan, it really can't stand up against most of the movies in this group. Come on, Lion King? Beauty and the Beast? These are classics!
I can watch Mulan over and over again though, which I can't say for... basically any of the others xD

This list I actually have trouble deciding, where as the Post version of this topic I couldnt even vote haha.

And it's Aladdin all the way. He's hott and can sing!

Mulan and Pocahontas are two of my favourite movies EVER!!! It was tough to choose between them, but I picked Mulan GIIIIIRL POOOOWER!

This reminds me of something that Ryan and I did a bit ago. We rated Disney movies! Here it is, copy and pasted from my Facebook:

Ryan and I decided to rank Disney movies tonight. We both gave our rating out of 10 and added them together. There were a lot of ties and things got difficult, but we managed to get the list straightened out with absolutely no ties! PS, Pocahontas should be waaaaaay higher, but Ryan is a douche.

This was a very tough decision, but ended up voting for the Lion King. I absoultely LOVE the music, and the broadway play is AMAZING! Beauty and the Beast came in a close second, followed by Hunchback of Notre Dame for its uniqueness and originality.

The Lion King musical IS amazing!! So glad you brought it up I saw it in maybe the fifth or sixth grade and it blew my face off. Unless it was later than that. I'm just guessing that based on who I went with. But yeah it's freaking amazing!!!

My mom took me to Toronto for my 13th birthday and we saw The Lion King show XD It was really good (first musical I saw live), but since then, I've seen much better, lol.
