I love lists. I know a lot of film fans think they are reductive, and they are right. However, they are also immensely fun to do. So here is a list of my favourite 20 Disney films, which is liable to change any day of the week but looking back over the project I reckon this is a rough estimate of my favourites. I started out with 10 but then felt bad for 10 more films I didn’t mention. Then after that I’ve included some more lists (the most difficult list was actually the last one!). I told you I love lists. I’ve not included Frozen, but I don’t know why not.
Please comment below with your versions of whichever lists interest you the most.

Animation Confabulation 
The Animation Commendation
Great lists! You can see my “Top 13” favorite Disney Canon films list on my blog, but I’m quite amazed that we have the same #11, #3, and #2. Most people don’t like “Alice in Wonderland” for some reason. And I admire you for giving “The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh” the credit it deserves.
The worst Disney Canon film in my opinion is “Chicken Little”, although I admit to liking it.
You can also see my Top 13 favorite Disney Canon songs list on my blog. We only have two songs in common.
Had you seen all the Disney Canon films before you started this project? If not, which ones did you see for the first time through this project?

If you liked Fantasia’s soundtrack, I’m surprised you wouldn’t also like Sleeping Beauty’s. Both are not original soundtracks; primarily classical music. No Howard Ashman for “five heroes of Disney”? Surely there would be no renaissance without him! Anyhow, good post. I enjoyed reading!

90s much on your nostalgia picks? 😉

Guess which decade I was a child in…

surprised that u didn’t put the three caballeros on top for weirdest. sure, black cauldron is weird, but it has a story to move along. the ending of caballeros immediately makes the top for me. it was random with weird imagery of live action and animation combined, with dancing women, dancing cactus, dancing legs, dancing on the moon and stars, singing head in a flower……….

I would’ve had Tarzan up there for most beautiful animation (maybe not no.1 though) – I love the landscape, the scene setting and the style of the characters themselves, somehow there is a boldness to the illustrative sketching and good dollop of personality. Gorgeous. On a different note, I’m a habitual horder (though I do try to control myself) so the whole context of Part of Your World was formative for my 4 year old self and holds great sway on my heart! Honestly great project and work on these 52 – made for good reading!
