This man has good taste. Aladdin was decent, but people place it way to high.
Beauty and the Beast is the best by far.

Aladdin? The Lion King? Woah there. Make way, Prince Ali. Need to put my feet up.
Still their best of that era, and my favorite of all time from them.

Aladdin is a baby's movie next to Lion King and Hercules. Everything in those movies is executed on all levels better except for comedy relief which is not that important to my enjoyment.
Yeah I definitely have to change that. Last Monday in one of my classes we played a game of Heads up and we did disney characters. Unfortunately for me, I got a lot of beauty and the Beast characters and that's when I realized I needed to watch it.
I know this is a 90's disney thread but I rarely see love for TP. It had its flaws but it's still one of my favorites along with Atlantis.
Come on, it was only like ten scenes.
Yup, that was an episode of the Hercules T.V. show. Never saw the full thing myself, sadly.

Man, I fucking loved the Hercules show when I was a kid, but I had no idea that episode existed.
This is some Kingdom Hearts shit.

I dunno........Ursula is pretty up there imo, one of the most underrated Disney villains imo.
Her personality was so unique among Disney villains that you actually kind of rooted for her lol. She had this weird code of "lawful evil" among Disney villains.
She also had one of the darkest villain songs with poor unfortunate souls.
Here's the list of disney shit in the 90's, so start compiling ur lists.
Does Mighty Ducks: The First Face-Off count? I think it was a two-parter, but they sold a straight up VHS of it like it was a movie

That gif is sexy, but as soon as she starts talking you realize she's like the most wooden main Disney character since Pinocchio. The complete opposite of the amazing Meg.
Ok, but getting real, Beauty and the Beast is a solid film but I find the character designs generally repulsive. In general, the entire period is marred with garish colors, but the designs improves after B&B.
That said, TLK is actually pretty overrated. Everything Pocahontas and beyond is pretty garbage, and I say that both as a fan of animation and storytelling in film.
IMO Disney's next worthwhile film after TLK was Lilo and Stitch. This is all excluding Pixar, obviously, which makes all their latter-day films seem like diaper baby trash by comparison.
EDIT: Nightmare before christmas doesn't count, that was the now-defunct Touchstone Pictures. Disney distanced themselves at the time, they don't deserve it now.
Fantasia 2000 is the perfect example of "not getting it."

Aladdin is amazing, it's one of the first movies I remember seeing in the cinema. Seeing the Genie sing Friend Like Me on the big screen is still one of my most memorable movie experiences. (Being traumatised by The Lion King was another, bless you, Disney.)
Hellfire is godly, and I never get tired of rewatching Mulan. Huh, didn't realise The Little Mermaid came out in '89. The Little Mermaid television series was surprisingly good, there were some really creepy episodes in there.
Hercules is 100% worth it for the music, and Phil, Megara, and Hades are the icing on the awesome cake. Gorgeous art direction, too.

The only thing I don't like about Ursula is how manipulative and conniving and interesting she is in most of the movie, then at the end it's all "FUCK IT, IMMA GIANT MONSTER, WHAT'S SUBTLY?"
I could talk about the Aladdin and Hercules animated series all day
There was a lady genie in it, and there was the episode where sultan turned evil, and the weird circus of animal monster people. Not to be confused with the weird circus of animal monster people in Gargoyles.

i think they do for everyone. hunchback tries to be a more serious movie and then comes at you with the worst comic relief in a disney film. just fucking weird.

That Cave of Wonders lava escape level tho'. Took me forever to get past it
I sure did play the hell out of that game until I could beat it in 1:20. I didn't even know the Genesis version was a completely different game. I'm sorry, but give me that hover rag over a sword any day, thanks.
Disney Animation Studios was a victim of their own success and pursued formula to the detriment of all.

This post is disgusting.
The pop culture references and soundtrack in Hercules are top tier.

My man. Emperor's New Groove tier is a higher tier than Aladdin anyway.
Damn now this is a contender.
i think frollo is pretty lawful evil. he's a bad guy who thinks he's the good guy, which makes him more entertaining than most disney villains.
i do think the little mermaid is pretty great though, and i like ursula. the little mermaid might have the most consistently great soundtrack.
on the subject of music, i was thinking what would be the best songs for each kind of disney song (at least during the renaissance), and little mermaid comes up a lot for me:
opening/intro:
'bells of notre dame'
runner up - 'two worlds one family'
the 'i want' song:
'part of your world'
runner up: 'just around the riverbend'
the villain song:
'hellfire'
runner up: 'poor unfortunate souls'
love song:
'kiss the girl'
runner up: 'i won't say i'm in love'
comic relief song:
'never had a friend like me'

You know what.. Your right. To this day I can still rewatchable A Goofy Movie and get the feels. It's a damn good film.

Total agreement on this.
easily better than their big-budget animated film that year.
then the other one must be friends on the other side
solid third maybe tie for 2 on the villain song list. only part that kills it is the middle part with 'the cards the cards' - just slows momentum to a grinding halt.
Don't forget the most important lesson: Ladies, is there a guy who is mean to you and treats you badly? Well, don't worry, if you love him enough, you can change him!
...I still like the movie though. I'd rate Lion King, Beauty and Beast and the Little Mermaid (although technically an 80's movie) above Aladdin, but Aladdin is still good. Also, I love Hunchback, even with the gargoyles in it. It would have been better without them, for sure, but I like the rest of it enough to ignore that.
Looking back, I'm surprised that this series got a theatrical movie release, and the likes of Chip and Dale's Rescue Rangers, Talespin, Darkwing Duck and Gargoyles didn't, even though they were all more popular.
Fuck yeah. Newman songs can be great when he's not singing them.
