Let's talk Disney movies!

[talonmalon333]

They're both great movies. What more do you want us to add?

[Spark Of Spirit]

I find it hard to talk about Disney movies. They're good, it's kind of hard to go into detail why since pretty much everyone knows it, there's not much to discuss.

[Avaitor]

I might do my own top 10 and pick some lesser talked about choices. I'll have to skip whatever talon did so I don't touch on repeated ground.

Then I'll skip them. On the top of my head, I'm going to skip at least one movie, and you probably know which one that is.

Alright everyone. Now we get down to the TOP TWO! I know it's early, but it's now Wednesday, so I'm fine putting this up now. NOW, announcing #2!
















































#2



Beauty and the Beast. Ahhh, what a lovely film. This is easily my second favorite.

I could talk about it for hours. First of all, this is such a classic story, a "tale as old as time". And is has somewhat of a... mysterious aura to it. I don't know. Maybe it's cause of the stain glass windows. Either way, I love it.

The animation is also great, mostly during the film's signature piece, "Beauty and the Beast". My personal favorite, though, might be "Be Our Guest". Such a well written song it is, from the choral parts, to the instruments, it's awesome, especially the key change at the end. The music in general is amazing in this film, tied with The Lion King for my favorite.

And the characters are also wonderful, people that you grow attached to. I often have trouble really calling Belle the lead in the show, cause in some ways, it's the Beast's story. But anyway, I'd like to mention this: Belle is the greatest Disney female character. To me she doesn't get a whole lot of competition, the only one being the lovely Giselle from Enchanted.

Then there's Gaston. I love this guy. He's such a jerk, but he's completely human and you understand what he's doing, as cruel as it may be. I consider him one of Disney's best villains. Also, the voice for him is perfect, especially his bass singing voice. Awesome. 8)

Anything else I need to cover? ... I think I got it all, and I don't want to keep you for too long. Just know that it'll take something BIG to take the crown, considering how much I adore this one!

[talonmalon333]

I'll probably post #1 in an hour. In the meantime, does anyone have anything to say for #2?

[talonmalon333]

9. Snow White and the Seven Dwarves
8. Alice in Wonderland
7. Bambi
6. Toy Story
5. The Lion King

2. Beauty and the Beast

Time for #1!









































































Ta-dah! My number one favorite Disney film! The classic! The masterpiece of artistic expression! FANTASIA!

The film is about the music. Picking a favorite part of this is always incredibly challenging. However the first piece, "Toccata and Fugue in D Minor", is wonderful. Instead of using regular images such as animals, this piece is abstract, stimulating the images one imagines when listening to the music. It's an amazing piece given such delicate care.

"Night on Bald Mountain/Ave Maria" is another favorite. Honestly, this was always one of the scenes I remembered most. The animation is amazing, probably better then in the rest of the film. Also, the choice to pair "Night on Bald Mountain" with "Ave Maria" was an amazing idea. They are complete opposites, yet they work off of each other marvelously. "Ave Maria" is so... beautiful. And once it ends, the movie ends. There are no closing words or credits. It's just... perfect.

"The Sorcerer's Apprentice" holds a lot of nostalgia value for me. In fact, the whole movie does, too. I used to watch it as a child. But until recently, there had to have been at least a 10 year period where I never saw the whole thing again. And when I saw it again, it... didn't disappoint.

This is easily the most under rated Disney film. It lost money initially, and I completely understand why many wouldn't like it. However, I truly believe this is Walt Disney's greatest work.

[Avaitor]

I approve.

[Queen Rissa]

And they lived happily ever after. *barf*

[Commode]

Oh, nobody mentioned that Tangled comes to DVD March 29th.  From the Toon Zone.

[Avaitor]

Yeah, I'm buying that.

Also, Alice is coming out on Blu-Ray on Tuesday. Also there.

[Daxdiv]

Considering that my brother recently got a Blu-Ray player, I'm half tempted to get the Blu-Ray/DVD combo pack for Tangled.
