MegaAchilles23 Thank you so much...
Thank you
MegaAchilles23 Thank you, that should have been there in the first place.
MegaAchilles23 thx man

One of the proudest moments I've had as a father was when my then 8 year old was watching Mary Poppins for the first time, and he turned to me when Mr. Banks is walking to be fired, utterly devastated, and said "This movie is really about the dad, isn't it?"
Wreqt
You've got a future movie critic in your hands. :~3
Wreqt HUG THE KID!! Hug him!!
***** I try not to screw them up and sometimes I even do a thing right.
As someone who has a brutally realistic view of his kids, the boy is very bright. I'll tell him you noticed, as he his perception of how others see him is pretty negative, and we try to reinforce it as much as we can.
+Wreqt Wow...never realized that. That is a smart kid.
+Wreqt I loved Mary Poppins!
Nothing like watching a man in his 30s gush about Disney films.
+Ikrani you're never too old for Disney films.

+BigBrotherMateyka Thank you. I'm too lazy to waste 60 minutes of my life.
thanks
プラス
+Yi Long Zen That logic is slightly flawed, as by the purest definition of laziness, one has to be wasting their life by not doing anything. Thus you would waste 60 minutes of your life, whether you watched the NC's video or not
Its hard for me to accuse Belle of stockholm syndrome, mostly because I trust her judgement and her sound mind. If it was a character like ariel, who is naive and is too love-focused, I would think it. Belle is too wise to be manipulated.
I agree ^.^
Not to mention a key part of Stockholm Syndrome.
It is triggered when the victim mistakes a lack of abuse for an act of kindness.
When Beast stops being cruel to Belle, Bell still kinda hates him.
It's only when Beast actually tries to be nice to her and makes an active effort to show her that he's changing (eg. the library, learning to read, etc) is when Belle starts to lower her defences and see that there is actually a man behind the monster.
And after the dance scene, he says she can leave. So she leaves. Never to return.
It's only when Gaston plans to kill the Beast is when she returns.
That is such a good point.
asamii thank you i thought i was the only one. ..
Oh yeah, the writers put so much thought into the character, and the complexities of a fart joke.
My favourite is Hunchback of Notre Dame. I love the music. I love the villain. But most of all, I love Quasimodo. He is a lonely outsider who wants to be accepted by everyone. That is me. That is exactly me.
Maybe it's cause you like MLP
Pepe Longoria
Not cool, dude.
You kind of brought it on yourself, but I guess that was a harsh response to your comment.
Mr.BigMac
Yes. I was lonely long before I discovered the show.
Well that is sad, hopefully you find somebody.

Thank you! =) Oh, and considering the month, Happy Holidays!
And a Merry Christmas to you to.
It's funny, I just realized something.
Today, people on the Internet rave about how Frozen is shit and the films in their childhood (usually Lion King) were way better.
20 years from now, kids today who will be in their twenties will do the same thing, bashing whatever the new #1 Disney movie is while saying how much better the film of their childhood, Frozen, was.
And I'll bet that if UA-cam and social media had existed in 1994, people would be saying how the Lion King was overrated, the songs were annoyingly overplayed, and how much better films they grew up with were (probably Cinderella, Alice in Wonderland, and Sleeping Beauty)
Talk about the Circle of Life. An odd pattern of it seeming like children's films are getting worse and worse, but they're really not, of course.
lukerbom12 Well said.
I still prefer Tangled over Frozen even though I grew up with the renaissance Disney movies. It's just upsetting to see the movie with better plot get overshadowed by a mess of a story especially considering how much I love the original story by Hans Cristian Anderson which they completely butchered up btw. I still love the new Disney movies as much as the old ones, but as I writer, I can tell a messy script from a well structured one. Also they didn't even keep the message from the original story and I found the characters boring or irrational and the characters goals never kept in focus unlike Tangled.
The thing about Frozen is that it will stand the test of time. People may not like it now and some of them never will - it's the same with all movies - but it isn't just for children. Obviously the film addresses stranger danger and how suppressing emotion can potentially hurt you and the people around you, but have you ever noticed that it also touches on child abuse and child neglect? The King and Queen were essentially abusing Elsa and neglecting Anna but what makes that so clever is that they never came across as villainous while they were doing it. They were flawed parents who genuinely loved their daughters but just didn't know how to raise them. It's a warning to parents about how loving your kids and knowing how to raise them are two very different things.
Yup. Nailed it.
I dont hate frozen, I just needed a break. I think its fine, not fantastic, not awful, but a wee bit overdone.
Frozen is a complex beast, overrated because of oversaturation, underrated because people feel it is overrated
Gamma Beta Alpha GBA
While vague... that is a great observation. :~/
At worst, I can empathise with Rob's summary that it's "okay", but I'm not sure I follow when people call it "awful".
I kind of see where that is coming from, I can understand if people don't think its the best movie ever, but I think some people want it to be terrible because they are sick of it being everywhere
This is so true
Lord south
I'm surprised people say they had so little patience for Olaf.
I mean, compared to Mushu, or Genie, or the Gargoyles from Hunchback, or the majority of Disney sidekicks really... what's so annoying about him?
Lord south
Ah, I see.
*_FROZEN???!!!_*
UGGGGGGHHHHHHHHH!!!!
AGGGGHHHHHHH!!!
GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!
BLLLLLGGGHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!
PFFFFFFFTTTTTTTTTT!!!!!!!!!!!
I like that movie, too.

The Hunchback of Notre Dame's music gives me goosebumps every time
Me too!
Sarcastic Squareflake Yes!, Oh my gosh yes!
Me too.
Doug: Totally dedicated into bringing us content, even on a bright 3am morning in Finland. I salute you sir :)
I still never like to include the Pixar films in the Disney collection. Disney is just a label to me! Pixar has done all their great movies by themselves.
Especially Pixar, who do everything they can to be individuals. I'm ok as long as you label a movie Disney after Disney buys the name (or partners). Like Toy Story had no affiliation with Disney, it was with Lucas Films
Captain Obvious After Disney took over Pixar both studios assisted each other in creating the films. The directors said that the teams of Pixar and Disney always go in and help with each others' films. I think it's fair to include them amongst the Disney films. Pixar is owned by Disney, and any film produced after they bought it is a Disney-Pixar film.
Elise M I do understand what you're saying, and it does work against my argument. But even though some people get 3D animated Disney films mixed up with Pixar (My girlfriend thought Tangled was Pixar when I first met her), I think Pixar's style is distinct enough for it to be separated into a different category. Of course, none of that matters in the long run anyways, since most people don't even care about classification, AND that the studios both put out entertaining films anyways.
Captain Obvious I'm just imagining a top 10 Pixar list, and, honestly, I could only find 8, and the two that could possibly be on the list are pushing it. While Pixar has created some amazing films, they definitely haven't created a lot of them. I think that's why he's putting them together.
and the SONGS! they are so RAWWWWWR!!!! uh i cant stand them. #LetItDie
The Sorcerer's Apprentice sequence is highly underrated. The way Mickey goes through a clear emotional journey without words is incredible. And the water effects. just spectacular.
Frozen is The Lion King of this generation. The Lion King was just as overplayed and annoying at the time but we still remember it as a classic.
***** True dat.
Seems as though some people are starting to come around.
Yeah, as the hype dies down, the backlash goes with it.
Hardly will there be another Disney film that can emulate what Frozen has done. The Snow Queen theme, the broadway-feeling songs, the clever twists. When Disney announced Moana they knew it's a bad move because a modern Disney princess genre was done because of Frozen. Better stick with other kinds like Big Hero 6 or Zootopia
Frozen does have some problems "Cough" Hans plan makes no sense "Cough " Cough" but it is still a damn good movie and even though his plan is stupid (if they go with the troll evil theory in 2 however it would work) Hans still plays a pretty good nasty asshole at the end.
Lion King which I love also has it share of problem as well with the moral being forgotten in the end and Can you feel the love tonight being a awful awful song, yet it is still a all time classic and I still love it.
If you have good characters which both do, then it the plot issues I think can be overlooked
My top 10 Disney films:
1. The Lion King
2. Treasure Planet
3. The Hunchback of Notre Dame
4. Bambi
5. The Fox and the Hound
6. Brother Bear
7. Tarzan
8. Beauty and the Beast
9. Aladdin
10. Mulan
Lauren210 Good List, I’ll admit I find Lion King overrated though
Top 10 Miyazaki/Studio Ghibli films
they all tie for first
well he did disneycembers on all of them. Plus he has said the he's disliked both Ponyo and Howl's Moving Castle. Soooo I don't think they will all be tied.
He said he likes Ponyo, many many times.
Legend345 I don't think he has watched all of them...
seraphiccandy21 I'm pretty sure he's seen all of the main one's. Even many of the obscure ones like "Tales of Earth Sea" so I think his list will be nice and diverse :P
Inside Out is in a higher spot than Up? I guess Doug has a new favorite Pixar movie
Inside Out was indeed better than UP. Dont get me wrong, I LOVED UP, but Inside Out was literally the greatest thing I have ever seen. Up was maybe more dramatic, but Inside Out had a great message, a deep meaning, and a great atmosphere.
LunarSolstice 123 Then I can't wait to see Inside Out. Posts like yours just makes me want to watch it more and more
DavidAtomic Fun Fact: It's still not out here in the UK, so I've not even seen it yet!
LunarSolstice 123 Now I'm REALLY looking forward to its UK release. I was hoping it would be Pixer's return to form after all those sequels and judging from impressions like this and even Doug putting it as high as 3, I'm sure as hell going to see this in cinemas.
LunarSolstice 123 The greatest thing you've ever seen? You should see more.....things
Doug is still sassy when he's not Nostalgia Critic and I love it.
Good Lord, I can't imagine being so happy and energetic at 3 am. That's the thing, man. At the risk of sounding like a weirdo obsessed fan, that's one of the reason I enjoy Doug's content so much. He just has such a passion and love for what he's talking about.
Even when he's angry at a film, he never seems like he's just doing his job or going through the motions because he has to make a living. It's always entertaining, interesting, and an absolute joy to listen to.
Gotta say, I'd be more excited if I met Doug Walker than if I met a big a-list actor. Like, 10,000 times more. I do promise myself, however that in the unlikely event I do get a chance to meet him, I'm gonna be calm and collected and just say "I like what you do. You've inspired me to be passionate, creative, and open-minded. And seeing what you've done over the past 7-8 years or so has fundamentally changed me as a person for the better. Not just in the appreciation of film, but all forms of art."
They made a Lilo and Stitch anime where Lilo grew up and abandoned Stitch with another little girl.
Yeah, and they say Toy Story 3 was fucking sad.
Raysiclove ...Please don't tell me they tried to sexualize Lilo...
sonicgamer42 She looks like Nani in the first movie.
dionysos46 I'm still scared...
sonicgamer42 I know...
sonicgamer42 No, it was aimed for little kids, even in Japan.
Actually I think the episode with Lilo was only made for the English dub for fans of the movie.
"Kind of in Finland?" so were you lying across the border or something?
yes.
Belle didn't just flat out leave. She wanted to save her father from certain death. And the Beast very clearly knew that to love her, would also to let her go.
I think he was talking about the scene after Belle went to the "west wing".
*sigh...*
Well, I'm going to say this now: I love every single Disney film, every single one. But my number one, in my opinion, is the most underrated film of all time. While the Hunchback of Notre Darme is on most people's top 5, it still shocks me that this movie isn't mentioned AT ALL. The movie I'm talking about is of course... Tarzan. I can't think of any problem at all, it's my favourite movie of all time, not just Disney. I asked someone the other day "What's better, Jungle book or Tarzan?" And they said Jungle book, and words alone cannot describe how shocked I was. Yes of course everyone has a different opinion, but this movie is so underrated! The only "meh" thing about the movie is the villain, even then his laugh and evil intentions get to me, and prevent me calling him bad. The relationship between the two leads is, and I never say this word, PERFECT. They spend perfect time on it, they show the perfect scenes, it's a beautiful movie in every concept, and when it gets dark it is dark, it's simply amazing. It has everything a good movie has, depth. It has sad moments, happy moments, heartwarming moments, and moments where it makes you happy to be living. I really wish this movie was more well known, it's just simply amazing.
OzaeGaming I think the issue with tarzan was it tried too much, which some may consider a bad thing, but I really enjoyed the film also, though it's not on my list of favourite movies. The emphasis on the cel shading artstyle is practically gorgeous to look at and helps personify the environments as well as the emotions of the main characters. However, in terms of character development relationships in the movie, I think they included too much. Some scenes aren't played to their full potential, some drag on. I think the structure of this movie couldve been rethought to give more time to scenes which deserve it. The villain, as you mentioned is also another issue. Overall, I think what a like most about it is for the most part is it just wants to tell a story. It's not concerned about any other elements or sideplots and just focuses on what the audience came to see. Tarzan.
Also.....DAMN RANDY NEWMAN DX
OzaeGaming Can't agree with you more.
What I like is the range it covers without feeling forced.
The romance between Tarzan and Jane, the motherly relationship with Kala, the stuggle for acceptance, the bloody awesome badass action.
It's also a very silent movie for the most part, which allows the animation to really shine through.
James Brincefield
Except she's not even remotely royalty....
OzaeGaming Tarzan is probably in my top 5. However, I feel personally that Hunchback is better for telling a deep and mature story in a surprising way. Delving into religion, lust, persecution, discrimination, THAT is amazing for a kids movie. Then again, Tarzan's villain is hanged on a vine due to his blind anger.
I think The Lion King is the second best Disney movie for the sheer amount of emotion within it, not to mention the beautiful music and colors. TLK2 is probably my third favorite for just being the first but slightly less amazing.
Tarzan is amazing though, and despite what people say, I love Phil Collins, and think Tarzan is the only Disney movie to have CONSISTENTLY good songs. I wouldn't say any of the songs are as good as the Circle of Life/Be Prepared or Hellfire/Bells of Notre Dame, but TLK had Hakuna Matata and Hunchback had A Guy Like You.
Oh, I should also mention that I do like the soundtrack, maybe that is a problem however as I did like only one song, that being two worlds. I guess the rest is alright but maybe it would have been better if the soundtrack was just instrumental.
How dare Frozen be so annoyingly popular, it's not like we treat Beauty and the Beast, The Lion King and Toy Story this way.
In all seriousness though, I'd actually like to see a "What If" of the Internet being at it's peak when those three films came out. There would just wouldn't be enough popcorn in the world.
Ryan Robotham actually Lion King was the Frozen of it's day with all the media saturation. You could not escape the Lion King hype. Everyone sang the songs, it was in all the stores, is shortly became a popular well done Broadway show, it got two direct to DVD movies and two animated shows. Hell, Animal Kingdom itself is practically made just to promote Lion King and still is. I know this cause I was a 90s kid sucked in by the hype, and I can safely say it's just as overhyped as Frozen.

Pretty awesome that you were brave enough to have Frozen on there. Haha
LordVader1094 I took a year off from that film and ignored almost all of the appeal of that film for a year. I watched it again around Christmas last year and I freaking loved it as much as I did when I saw it in theaters. It's not as good as The Lion King or The Nightmare Before Christmas, but it's still a very above average Disney Film.
NintendoMan64 my top1 is Bambi and Bedknobs and Broomsticks (that final)
NintendoMan64 I agree, what about Frozen and Wreck it Ralph? Those were great, but not absolute classics.
NintendoMan64 If u have children (under 10)and if u show them fantasia , it will be all over. THEY WILL BE OBSESSED WITH MUSIC! Like me.
What's ironic about Hakuna Matata is that the meaning of that song is supposed to be the OPPOSITE of the movie's true moral. And people went gaga over it. Questionable execution at its finest, haha.
***** That's not the song's fault, though.
A S R Isn't it? Why create a marketable, upbeat, catchy (annoying) catchphrase and song if it's about the opposite of what the message of your movie is really supposed to be? Really, the song was WRITTEN to be memorable and popular.
> Make a kids film about facing up to responsibility
> Write a catchy "fuck it," song for your movie
= logic?
***** that's what makes the Lion King good though. Simba realizes that the fuck it attitude is NOT what he is supposed to be doing. God forbid Disney makes a flawed protagonist.
DrInsanity987 You're missing the point.
***** No, I believe it's you who are missing the point.
My Top Ten
10. The Great Mouse Detective
9. Fantasia
8. Treasure Planet
7. The Incredibles
6. Lion King
5. Toy Story 3
4. Beauty and the Beast
3. Hunchback of Notre Dame
2. UP
1. Inside Out
Lilo & Stitch is my favourite Disney film. Surprised Lilo & Stitch was here, especially since he had some problems wth it. I'm surprised just the points he liked got it on this list.
ZeeCobra Never knew you were a critic yourself Zee.
Artur Araújo The more you know.
ZeeCobra Lol me too, when he said it I was like "Really? Oh well great!" Cause I saw his review and he just sort of brushed off the entire story of the aliens and gushed over Lilo and Nani
What's bad about Lilo and Stich is just ok but whats good about it is really good and imho it was the last great animated disney flim proir to the hiatus (and not counting Brother Bear which was good but not great).
Mathew Clemence It's also makes the movie more heart breaking when I learned that Lilo means lost in Hawaiian... and stitch means to put together.
Very cool that you're in Finland! I'm leaving for Sweden in an hour. :D
StarGeek Härligt.
Omg I found you on a comments. I fan
Munk Andersson magnifikt
I live in Finland and left to Estonia just 10 hours ago. Dang it!
Hey Stargeek, didn't know you watched Nostalgia Critic. I'm a fan.
Um actually, (yeah I'm gonna be that guy Doug) Tangled for many years was planned as a hand drawn movie but they could not get the hair to work they way they wanted to. It would have been impossible to do it hand drawn and they did take advantage of the 3d.
Had to defend it. Tangled is my number 1 favorite. Still love Frozen though.
***** ROCK ON Tangled is my Number 1 favourite Disney movie of all time too. You earned yourself a subscribe.
The fact that you were willing to do this for us is incredible. You manage to get out a Nostalgia Critic almost every week of the year. And that is simply phenomenal, we love you Doug keep doing what you're doing.
I think the thing with Pixar is that it takes old ideas like Toys coming to life, the life of a Bug, Monsters in closets etc but gives them all a new modern twist or a lasting impact like Dr. S Grinch etc. (the flims are debatable but the books aren't) Dahl works etc.
Its not all original but the minds behind it can make it timeless.
Good to see Pixar coming back after hitting a flat note with Brave.
"Wreck-It-Ralph is a good example, Disney's really been getting it's GAME back."
Ba doom ching.
I remember watching that scene from up when I was 9 and I did cry. You can still understand that this happy couple have been together for a long time and that it was sad to see them break apart unintentionally. This is only off of memory but it was only 4 years ago so I think it's somewhat valid.
Aw, Doug, we don't need an episode every week. At least I don't. I understand that you have a life, and I'm actually really impressed that you've kept up with it so well for all this time. Your show really helped bring me joy and laughter when I was really depressed, and actually even helped get me out of said depression. Seeing your passion and love for cinema, it really makes me want to find what makes me feel the same. You've helped me so much, and I'm so happy and grateful that you make all the things you do! Maybe I'm biased (obviously), but I think your videos are amongst the funniest and most enjoyable content on UA-cam, which is probably in part due to your passion. I really hope to meet you in person one day to express, in person, my gratitude for everything you've done!
Here's my top 10:
10. 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea
9. Aladdin
8. Lady and the Tramp
7. Mary Poppins
6. Beauty and the Beast
5. Up
4. The Lion King
3. Fantasia
2. Toy Story
1. Who Framed Roger Rabbit (Touchstone; but still technically Disney)
Same here roger rabbit is the best disney movie and so is nightmare before christmas toy story emperors new groove and everybody and there mom is gonna hate me for this but i like
super mario bros as well
(i know hollywood pictures but still disney) in my personal opinion
tvmattkc If you like Up, I think you'll like Inside Out when you see it.
Already seen it :)
Watch hunchback of Notre dame the musical, it literally made me make hunchback one of my favorites
Great list Doug! I love the analysis and passion and respect that you have for these films. I like the plug at the end.
The character's name is officially Chernabourg. Then again, the Devil has had many names in the past (Satan, Lucifer, etc.) so you could argue that's simply another nickname he has. Congrats on the longest top list I've ever watched in my life! Here's my Top ten list.
10 - Bridge To Terabithia (just don't say anything more about this, just don't)
9 - WALL-E
8 - Up
7 - Pinocchio
6 - The Swiss Family Robinson
5 - Aladdin
4 - The Lion King
3 - Mary Poppins
2 - Bambi
1 - Toy Story (all of them, I just can't choose a single one, it's a flawless trilogy)
Do you like the 4th one?
@@thelastprotectorofoverain1035 Yes, I did! You can add that as being flawless.
@@ErichoTTA Glad to hear it. It seems like 4 get a lot of hate, and I actually like it better than the first one.
Since you are i Finland, please try to watch "the moomins." It is a kid show that can be very dark or creepy somethimes. It is a english dub to it. Put it on WTR or something.
Pretty sure he's already seen the show.
How can you be so sure?
Love that franchise. The Groke is an especial interesting character.
Up came out when I was like 10, and I haven't seen it since I was like 12 or so, but those first 20 minutes are still incredibly powerful and amazing to me. The events they go through are so brilliantly told through imagery to sum up life in such a way that is simple enough to understand for kids and yet complex and real enough for adults. Truly a masterpiece of a scene.
So if u were wondering Doug, kids, at least ones with any sort of intelligence, can pick up and understand what is happening throughout that scene. The emotional impact totally works on both levels.
Even Belle didn't like the way he looked in his human form, you ever notice that she doesn't kiss him until he looks into his eyes and was sure it was him.
Why only top 10? Because the nostalgia critic will only go one step beyond...lol
"Because *only* the Nostalgia Critic will go one step beyond"
Fixed
B*tch
Michael Yater he put 2 fillms at number 7, he said he forgot one movie by the end..so that makes it..11..?i guess...?
Ara besque Forgot 'bout that.
***** It's called a rhetorical question.

Kelly Wilson High five for not being ashamed to like The Black Cauldron :D
slug237711 It's always been my favourite one
Did you read 'The Book of Three, The Black Cauldron' or any other in the book series? They blow the movie into a pudlle made of its own tears; it is infinitely better. The characters are developed, the dwarf (who is a freakin fairy in the movie) is funny and Flueder is not just comic relief...read the books. I thought the movie was eh. Watch Nate and Dookie.
logolover24 I agree, if they used the dialogue and personalities from the books, rather than the stale and boring generic characters they were turned into.
are the live action films always supost to have swearing in them?
A strange thing about Inside Out... much like Star Wars: Force Awakens and Deadpool, I have seen all kinda of little posts about it on the internet - gifs and art and theories and such - but I still somehow know NOTHING about the plot of Inside Out. and I still haven't seen it, oddly enough.
Well, the plot isn't particularly apparent in its sequence of events, because a lot of it is just a road trip-type thing as the protagonists explore a world. And people talk a lot about the concepts of the film rather than its plot per se.
The sorcerer apprentice is my favorite animation ever. The synchronisation with the images is just so perfect.
It bothers me when people lump Pixar films into "Disney films". Disney is the publisher, but those films were made by Pixar studios, and they deserve the credit. When I think "Disney films" I usually think of "Disney Feature Animation" or now "Disney Animation Studios". They are the ones responsible for pioneering feature animation originally. Not to be confused with Pixar.
There's a difference between "Disney" the corporation and "Disney" the animation studio.
Agreed, I can never put my favorite Pixar Films in the same list as my favorite Disney films. I almost always keep them separate.
Though it was really fun to hear Doug gush about "Up" and "Inside Out." :D
Steven Bowser disney basically owns pixar everything they do is published by pixar and pixar stuff is at disneyland so why
Brendan McCabe
Distributing and producing a film is not the same as developing the film.
So this is how it works: Pixar is a studio campus where Pixar staff create films in-house. All the credit goes to Pixar for the creation of Pixar films. Disney only helps fund and advise and such, but it's Pixar doing the filmmaking.
From there, Disney corporation distributes the film. They advertise, sell it, market it for DVD, etc.
So really, to say "Toy Story is a Disney film" is sort of a misnomer. It was technically sold by Disney, but the people who actually _made_ the film are Pixar, and Pixar alone deserves the credit.
So to answer your question, I don't equate OWING a studio to deserving credit for what they make. Just because Disney owns and distributes Pixar films doesn't mean they deserve any credit for making the film.
Steven Bowser key word own it so they own the studio it is in disneyland that means its technically disney
Brendan McCabe
I realize that. Disney corporation owns everything from Marvel to Star Wars to Pixar.
But when I think of "Disney films", I personally think of the films developed by Disney Feature Animation (now Disney Animation Studios). So I mean the long list of animated films starting with Snow White and currently ending with Big Hero 6 (Zootopia on the way soon). That is the true "Disney".
I think that if we considered every affiliate of Disney corporation to be making "Disney films" then I would expect the upcoming Star Wars films to be in this list soon, or maybe the Marvel films. But even though Disney owns those developers, I don't think Princess Leah is a "Disney Princess" and I don't consider Loki a "Disney Villain".
Am I making sense?
"I love watching kids!" - Doug Walker, 2015
We don't need context, and we don't need the rest of the sentence.
An hour long video about Doug's 11 favorite Disney movies? Best birthday present ever!!!
Thanks Doug! :D
my list:
10. Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian
9. Frozen
8. Pinnochio
7. Tie between Aladdin and Hunchback of Notre Dame
6. Lilo and Stitch
5. Ratatouille
4. Old Yeller
3. Mary Poppins
2. Beauty and the Beast
1. Fantasia.
mounir maged Prince Caspian was great. I wouldn't say it was as solid as most of the CG or drawn movies, so I understand why it is at your #10. It's probably hovering around there for me.
I'm in shock because of how alike we are. Although I'm still trying to figure out my foci all top 10, Prince Caspian is an option for me as wel.. It's very underrated and doesn't enough attention. The story is hard to follow for me, but the battles and the ideas of faith are so strong that it may deserve a spot on my list
Wait, Old Yeller? I mean to each there own but, I thought it was a little boring.
My Top 10:
1. Aladdin
2. The Fox and the Hound (no really)
3. Ratatouille
4. Snow White and the Seven Dwarves
5. Finding Nemo
6. Bolt
7. A Goofy Movie (no really)
8. Monsters Inc.
9 The Lion King
10. A Bugs Life
I'm excited to see Inside Out!
Raymond Williams Don't be ashamed to like a Goofy Movie. I think every youth needs to see it at least once in their rebellious phase ^_^
Raymond Williams the Fox and the Hound is also my 2nd favorite Disney (after Lilo & Stitch). I can quote many more great scene in this movie than I can do over Frozen or Lion King ;)
+Raymond Williams Same here! Pixar rules!
When you put two things on the same spot in your top 11s or top 10s, it's almost always on number 7. Coincidence? I think not!
thank you so much for namedropping the old mill. that is one memory that i have so vividly but we had it on vhs and i could never find it, now i have.
how does a top 10 list get an 1 hour video?
Scout Shellby Its called rambling
Drugs.
Because it's unscripted, which means he's rambling a lot
Scout Shellby Dedication.
Scout Shellby Doug knows how to gush.
I personally think Frozen is fucking awful (not the worst Disney film, but awful), but I completely respect your decision. It's a bit sad to see it over Hunchback of Notre Dame, but, hey, this is your top ten, not mine. Fantasia is absolutely beautiful, and it is sad that so many media outlets are putting it at the bottom of their Disney lists, which makes people not want to see it. That movie is a classic.
Elise M But, wow, seeing UP behind Frozen kind of hurts.
+Elise M I would put Frozen significantly above Up, which is a great short film from Pixar but doesn't have much more to it. It is in fact one of my lowest-rated Pixar movies
Michael Sykes
"a great short film"...... Up was a full-length feature with intricate writing and characters that were planned for years, while Frozen was literally changed a year and a half before the release because they liked the song "Let It Go" that much. Up was a masterpiece that took so much time to create, while Frozen was literally just thrown on paper quickly and scrambled together from pieces taken from old films (Kristoff's design is literally Flynn's original design, and Anna and Elsa are basically twins with other 3D princesses; the songs were lazily written in; the animation lazy, when you can see obvious flaws and emptiness that can't be excused with it being a snowy climate (not talking about the hair thing, either, because that was actually one of the clever things); and, again, the writing was so lazy when you go back and look through it all Frozen is is a road trip that took way too long to get ready and didn't really have a satisfactory ending that brought all of the themes together). Yeah, this might be my opinion, but really putting Up below Frozen... that's just logically flawed.
+Elise M The change in Frozen was well-done IMO because Elsa is now a grey character as opposed to a black-and-white character with a thin motivation like the original script. The only part of Up that was remotely interesting to me was the opening 10 minutes, then it descended into a nonsensical romp. Hence a great short, but not a great feature length film. While it's true Up took years to be fully developed, there were a lot of plot inconsistencies in the film. Frozen had nil. Speaks a lot to the quality of their writers and directors. Muntz's age, the fact that carrying a house the way Carl did defied the laws of physics (which cannot be excused as this is an actual country and not a fictional kingdom) and the countless continuity errors. Frozen did have continuity errors too but it wasn't as numerous as Up. As for Kristoff being similar to Flynn's original design, prove it. I didn't think Anna and Elsa were similar in any way, besides a little stylisticaly with Rapunzel or Merida. The definition of lazy is Up , not Frozen in my opinion, and that's not logically flawed unless you could prove it with facts rather than opinions.
+Elise M Upon viewing some concept art, I concur that there were similarities between Kristoff and Flynn's original design. My bad on not checking up on it first. However does that make it objectively bad? No. Flynn's actual design was a lot different from the original concept art. Up borrowed from films like Dinosaur as well, and I thought there were similarities between Carl and Ellie in terms of their facial features. All of this is besides the point though since it comes down to opinions, but the fact that there are more continuity errors and plot inconsistencies in Up are true.
Can you do Top 10 favourite Dreamworks films?
Weberhed it wouldn't go too far. His favorite is Kung Fu Panda 2 anyway.
Tiago Barbosa I thought it was Prince of Egypt? Also, I love the idea of this list.
Speaking of DreamWorks they're making a King Fu Panda 3 WHOO
Except if this video is any indication, Dreamworks Live Action stuff would count.
***** Do you mean the first three Shrek films? Because he doesn't like the first one.
So glad to see Bedknobs and Broomsticks, and Mary Poppins on this countdown! I just re-watched Mary Poppins a couple weeks ago for the first time in years and it had me smiling almost the entire time. It's a true classic.
Fantasia was the best movie we watched in my chorus class in elementary school. I think we watched it in second grade and it just amazed me. I loved it and I just couldn't get over how much it amazed me.
I love how so many people are talking about how Frozen is overrated and has been played too much and that Lion King is so much better, but that movie has had the crown of the best animated movie of all time for over TWENTY YEARS and everybody keeps talking about how good it is, without wanting to mention or acknowledge that there some big flaws with that movie.
Oh sure, hate on the movie that came out three years ago and that a lot of people like for many good reasons despite its flaws, but if someone talks the tiniest bit bad about the Lion King, heads will roll and that person is Satan himself and so on and so forth. I for one welcome a new good animated movie with good songs, stunning animation and a nice message. But if you like Lion King, good for you. Enjoy your movie, and let Frozen fans enjoy their movie!
The Lion King is my favourite Disney movie hands down, and even my favourite movie of all time (as well as Mad Mad Max: Fury Road and Deep Blue Sea), but I have one mega-huge gripe about it:
Simba is not a relatable main character. He's two totally different characters between childhood and adult, which confuses me even more.
I know some people will disagree with me, but I believe that is the biggest flaw of TLK and hence the reason why it is not mentioned in this video.
Kamechan98 I don't think anyone is saying Lion King is flawless, but personally I find it to be infinitely more emotionally and aesthetically compelling than Frozen.
I'd love a good new animated movie and Pixar has provided bit Frozen is definitely mediocre and that has nothing to do with the lion king
Personally, I think Lilo & Stitch is one of the most overlooked movies of all time. In my opinion, it is one of the greatest animated films of all time; up there with movies like Fantasia. While the aliens are not quite as amazing as the sister story, that's just a sign of how amazing the sister story is. As far as I'm concerned, only Pixar movies have come close to having such a complex, realistic, and mature portrayal of family.
I remember Fantasia because my grandparents saw it on cinemas when it first arrived here in Brazil decades ago, and they LOVED this movie, and always told me how wonderfull it was, for my whole childhood - but since my childhood happened before internet, I just rented the movie in my late childhood, when we bought a cassete tape player. We all watched together and omg, how I loved! It's the most magical movie I'vve ever seen. Even as a child, I couldn't take my eyes away from the amazing scenes. It's a masterpiece.
18:14 I'm gonna tell you what I thought of that. I was 11 when I first saw it, and it's the only movie I ever watched where I just zoned out and had my jaw dropped for a solid 10 minutes after it. It was so powerful. And that was just my reaction to the ending. The first couple of minutes are among my all-time favorites in cinema.
YOU'RE IN FINLAND?! WHY? WHERE? AWESOME
Oh. An anime convention apparently. I wish I reserved a ticket there D;
NotQuiteFunnyProductions Animecon. Its was in Kuopio.
Kensei Takesi Wait, he goes to a con in Finland but won't come to Colorado? Oh c'mon Doug!!!
CrystalMoonStar Maybe it was because he was the special/main guest there, giving presentations etc. Heck if you look at the program it was all centered around Doug. I know people who never come to conventions normally/anymore came to this one just because Doug was THE guest. He was signing for at least an hour overtime because so many people wanted his autograph. Also getting to go abroad to a new country might play a part in it. :D
kesakeru wow. I hope they all had fun and Doug does seem like a fun guy to have at a convention

The opening to Hunchback scared the crap out of me as a kid! I had an obsession with Esmeralda and think 'Hellfire' is amazingly dark for Disney..but that opening still chills me. I recorded it when it was playing on TV a while back and still had to skip the opening!
I dunno about Frozen. None of the songs were very memorable (BEFORE OVERPLAYED), the characters weren't adeptly developed, the world wasn't explained very well, the trolls could either have been integrated into the story far better or written out entirely, there was absolutely NO buildup towards the twist so that it didn't affect me emotionally so much as confuse me, the characters and the story both undergo massive identity crises for a screenplay that goes back and forth on how it wants to write them, and Bottom Line: I just wasn't that invested in any of it. I'm not one to criticize a film for how overplayed it is or how it's everywhere nowadays. It's just that even as I walked out of the theater after seeing it, I just found it very mediocre.
KubricksKube well, you bring it up out of all the disney movies he's mentioned, so it has to stand out to you somehow.
and p.s. this is his opinion
simonster -909 It does stand out, actually, in the sense that so many people obviously see something in it that I don't; he's clearly not alone in his regards for the film. I wasn't discrediting his opinion, I was giving mine.
I think you've actually managed to properly explain what I don't like about this, alongside Doug kind of reminding me why I didn't hate it as much when I first saw it. I have big problems with the story and characters, but I almost forgot that it does use nice visuals and animation. It does bother me more just because of how brutally different it is from the source material (I'd still like to have seen THAT movie) but I probably shouldn't rage on it as much as I have in the past.
I remember the songs!
Also the script was good enough for me!
When I was a kid I LOVED Bedknobs and Broomsticks!
Holy damn I was at Disneyland too on vacation last month and just like Doug, I really like Frozen, but Let It Go never meant something special to me like to so many others. But by God, when that song played during the fireworks, I got chills. And I barely ever get that. It just captured the magic of Disney in that moment so perfectly.
I'm always amazed when Doug makes videos like this. An hour straight of uncut video except for in between the numbers, all just him, staying totally on track, making all the points he wants to make, not getting distracted or needing a gimmick to keep attention or make his points. I'm only listening to it with the video playing on my second monitor as I do most videos like this, but still it's a really impressed by videos like this.
Anyway, for what he was saying about classic Disney films seeming to have something extra in regard to animation direction, I agree to an extent. A lot of the people they had back then had literally been working for Disney and with Walt Disney himself since the company was founded. Every team in charge of each aspect of the film's creation had a familiar and dynamic relationship with one another. In some cases that could be a very bad thing because they can get set in their ways and get lazy, but that didn't seem to happen with their teams. They were also much smaller teams of animators, you only have to look at how short the credits are compared to credits these days to see how vast film teams have become.
Nowadays, the way I understand, Disney hires animators mostly on a commission basis. They hire them to make a specific film or work on a specific project, only paying them for that project. So the animation teams are not always the same, and nor are the people familiar with one another. I don't have any science or statistics to prove it, but I can't help but feel like this kind of revolving door hiring method combined with the VAST droves of people required to make these films and the impossibility of all of them being able to meet each other would take a toll on the final product.
Back in the old days, the animators and songwriters worked in the same building, and they could freely collaborate. I'm sure they still work together, but since there are so many it's now mostly directors or head animators who make those visits and pass that along to the lower animators. It's not as dynamic and personal, and a lot of those relationships have been made more corporate and bureaucratic. And I understand that's simply to control and keep track of the vast number of people now required to make films, but it's still a type of difference that can have an effect on the final product.
Walt Disney was a perfectionist and on top of that, he genuinely cared about his work. That's why his movies are of such high quality. He would by upset to see what Disney has become since he died. Granted, they do still make good movies now and then - I love Frozen and I think that, despite being CGI, it's one of a very small handful of recent Disney movies that captured the magic of those that came out during the Disney Renaissance - but the company as a whole has become corrupt since he kicked the bucket. Just look at how they're trying to assert their dominance over all the other film studios - they bought Lucasfilm and Fox within the last few years and they're holding back a lot of artists because of their need for control - or how often they shriek about racism and sexism when more often than not, they're the ones who are being racist and sexist. Sorry, but I'm still pissed off that Disney helped ruin Star Wars.
I watched up in theaters when it came out, I was 12 at the time and I recall feeling sad over the first 20 minutes but not as much as I do now at 18 after experiencing life a bit more and i'm sure in another 6 years ill feel the movies impact much more because it's all about how much you have experienced and what you can relate to.
I agree that _The Hunchback of Notre Dame_ feels like it should *not* work, but..it does. There are so many elements of it that feel weird or "uneven" but the parts that do work are so _fantastic_ they make up for the movie's flaws.
Bored me as a kid, loved it as an adult.
This is gonna sound stupid, but my absolute favorite is The Little Mermaid. The music and story are such a special part of me and I can't imagine my life without it. Sure it's not anything groundbreaking or dramatic, it's very problematic and I can acknowledge its flaws, but gosh it's just my happy place and helped me get through hard times on a personal level beyond just watching and appreciating the movie.
I can really understand having a favorite movie described as "its not anything groundbreaking or dramatic, but gosh it's just my happy place." I have several. :D
Contrary to belief the film WAS groundbreaking from it's marketing to redefining the Disney Princess to the music to the fact that many adults went to theater WITHOUT kids A trend that would continue afterwards
As for me and my other comment
Since a list is to INCLUDE live action and animated would have to think awhile
BUT Without question these would be on a top 11 list for me (OR 11 AS HE SOMETIMES DOES)
NO ORDER Snow White Dumbo Fantasia Little Mermaid The Love Bug 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea UP (Though I do not consider Pixar films Disney,BUT since others do............)
DoctorWhoBAMF Don't ashamed for that. It's a nice cartoon beloved by BatB fans like me. I Watched it 7 times in cinemas in 1999.
DoctorWhoBAMF That is my 3rd favourite movie of all time.
DoctorWhoBAMF Actually, it was groundbreaking. It was the first Disney movie to really use music in a full Broadway style to tell the story. Every great thing that Disney accomplished over the next decade, from a rapid rise in animation and effects, to better characterizations, and beyond, started in this film.
If anything, it did it a little too well, because Disney loved the formula enough that they sometimes were trapped by it.
Nice that you're back in Europe again, this time in Finland. You gonna make another video of your experiences?
Also hoping that one day you'll visit in Asia too.
"You're a castaway where no one hears you on a barren isle in a lonely sea. Where did all the happy memories go? Where can all the good times be? You must face the age of not believing, doubting everything you ever knew, until at last you start believing there's something wonderful in you."
One of my all-time favorite Disney songs. Bedknobs and Broomsticks is me lying on my grandma's floor watching these kids go on an amazing adventure. It was really the first film to show me what an adventure could be. Fast forward to me playing on my grandma's bed twisting the bedknob and flying anywhere I want. So many good memories that still hold up.
Great list!
Also, Inside Out has to be my favorite Pixar!
Wow, we haven't seen Doug do a solo vlog for quite a while now. Nice. :)
Zootopia is better than Frozen.
+Studley Muffin Much better.
I'd rather watch grass grow then watch Frozen.
This vid was before Zootopia! But you are correct(But it will never be better than The Lion King.)
+Studley Muffin You said it. I didn't think Frozen was bad, but it bored me. Zootopia kept my attention.
+Studley Muffin i haven't seen Zootopia yet but somebody please explain to me how on earth would anyone compare a princess movie to an animal movie?
I live in Finland and it's great to have you here.
One of the coolest things about watching Fantasia is remembering many specific emotional responses from watching it as a kid. There were many parts that I was scared of or startled by as a kid. Now I don't react to those moments in those ways while I watch, but I remember how I did so to those moments as a kid. That's something that's unique about Fantasia.
Hunchback is #1 for me.
+Celestine Buendia Me too!
+Haley McPadden I love dark Disney as much as dark chocolate. Weird analogy. It's just what came to my head.
That's actually my least favorite of the Disney Renaissance films. I wasn't sure why for a long time, then I watched it recently on Disney Plus and figured it out: the tone is all over the place. It has all these mature themes, yet it constantly undercuts them with corny slapstick. I know it's a kids movie, but this just proves that Hunchback isn't meant to be a kids movie. I still like the film, just not as much as the other Renaissance films, not even Pocahontas.
Here's my top 10;
10. Return to Oz
9. Treasure Planet
8. Pinocchio
7. Finding Nemo and Atlantis: The Lost Empire
6. Frozen (I don't give a fuck what you say, I love it)
5. Marry Poppins
4. Bambi
3. Toy Story 3
2. Fantasia
1. The Lion King
I was lucky enough to see "Fantasia" on the big screen when I was a child. I loved it then and I love it now.
10. I remember you talking about this one in the Top 11 Underrated Nostalgic Classics video from a while back. Haven't seen it yet, but I might check it out.
9. I'm still surprised you put this one on the list considering you praised basically one half of the film (Lilo) and kind of dismissed the other half (Stitch). With that said, I adore this movie! Like you said about Lilo, she's a believable kid with believable issues, and I love it when media includes kid characters like that. As for Stitch, I would say his issues are also relatable to anybody, such as figuring out what to do when you aren't following your intended purpose. Plus, the relationships between the characters are fantastic! It's definitely one of my top 10 favorites from Disney.
8. I've been meaning to rewatch Alice again. I mainly remember the surreal imagery and the Unbirthday song. Speaking of which, Have a Very Merry UN-Birthday everybody!
7. Up is well... uplifting! It's probably one of my favorite Pixar films. Hunchback is also great! Obvious problems aside, it's a wonderful experience with beautiful animation and songs, along with (mostly) great characters.
6. I thought this one was alright. Honestly, I pretty much feel the same about this film as you do with The Lion King: a box-office giant with a solid story, good animation, some likable characters, plenty of creativity, yet also tremendous flaws like with the villain, screwing the intended message (loving/marrying someone you just met), other characters that aren't that special, and a couple of bad songs ('In Summer' and 'Fixer Upper').
5. I vaguely remember seeing a clip or two from this one as a kid. I might need to also check this one out at some point.
4. A film that's beautiful both within and without. Also one of my Disney favorites.
3. Just about everything about this film is phenomenal! Another one of my favorites from Pixar. In fact, some of my favorite Pixar movies have been directed by Pete Doctor (Monsters Inc, Up, Inside Out).
2. What else could be said that isn't... Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious! I've also been meaning to check out Saving Mr. Banks.
1. I rewatched some of the segments and they're still great. Now I just need to rewatch the whole film.
Patrick: FINLAND!!
I was 12 when I saw Up so not quite a kid. I would probably say that was just the right age for it. What I would like to say about my experience with that first 10 minutes was really special because I watched with my grandma. I remember her crying as soon as the piano slows down, never having seen her cry like that, and I was tearing up. I will never forget that image. Up is pretty much my favorite animated movie ever, and I wouldn't be surprised if that was a big factor.
Even at 21 when I watched Saving Mr. Banks 2 years ago, I was able to get back into the songs. Especially "Let's go fly a kite". My inner 5-year-old was tingling like it was on a sugar rush.
My favorite movie is a live action: pirates of the caribbean 1. But is the only favorite live action.
Thats why here I tell my top 10 animated disney films
1. Beauty and the Beast
2. The Lion King
3. Tarzan
4. The Little Mermaid
5. Aladdin
6. Frozen
7. Snow White and the Seven Dwarves
8. Ratatouille
9. WALL• E
10. Finding Nemo
1 beauty and the beast
2 lion king
3 sleeping beauty
4 snow white
5 bambi
My Top 5 Disney Animated Films:
5. The Hunchback of Notre Dame
I watched this movie only once when I was a kid. I didn't think too much of it and didn't watch it for a long time. Until around high school, I watched this film and had a very different approach to it than when I was a kid. I was floored. The dark atmosphere, the main character, the villain, the animation, the songs (Hellfire, OH. MY. GOD!!) and Alan Menken's score, all of it floored me from beginning to end. But it's not a perfect film. I don't hate the gargoyles but they are annoying and the tone is inconsistent at times (mostly from the gargoyles). But the stuff that's good is extremely good, some of the best from Disney's other works.
4. The Lion King
Ever since I was a kid, this was my favourite Disney film. I loved everything about it and thought it was a perfect Disney film. However, over time, I don't think it's as perfect as I thought when I was a kid. I don't hate it or even dislike it now, otherwise why would it be on my Top 5? I still love the animation, Hans Zimmer's score, the characters, the story, the songs etc. It's just that the overall experience of it all isn't the same as when I was a kid. I still love it all and still watch it every now and then.
3. Fantasia
This is one of those movies that has gotten better and better over time for me. When I was a kid, I watched it at my grandparents place but only enjoyed The Sorcerer's Apprentice segment than the other ones. I watched the sequel more than this one because it was more bright and colorful. But over time, much like the experience in Lion King is not as strong over time, the experience of this film (now that I'm older) is stronger, and I respect what this film did more than all the Disney films I've seen. From the lush animation, the powerful music, the visually emotional storytelling from each segment, it's all a marvel to watch and experience every single time I see it.
2. Beauty and the Beast
To me, this movie represents everything that Disney stands for. The music, animation, characters, emotional storytelling, appeal to both children and adults, the overall feel and magic of this movie. This is another Disney movie that gets better over time for me.
1. Pinocchio
Just like The Lion King, I've loved this movie ever since I was a kid. This was one of the first Disney films I ever saw and it still holds a special place for me. The story and it's morals, genuine/scary moments and overall wonderful Disney feel, it's all still so strong to me because the emotional resonance is still there to me and, in my opinion, is my personal favourite Disney film.
Great list! You have great taste. :P
Great taste , to me Beauty and the Beast is my favorite Disney movie
So thrilled Bedknobs and Broomsticks made the list. It doesn't get enough recognition.
Thank you for listing Frozen. You are proving your integrity as a critic and as a connoisseur of the art in question.
It's always a pleasure listening to your passion.
keffypoo
I'm irritated by all the people who always say that they've lost faith in Doug's opinion for revering Frozen so much.
People who think they're cool by bashing something popular deserve no respect.
Frozen is a damn good movie. I promise you, if ANY of the movies from the Disney Renaissance had come out in 2013 - Aladdin, The Little Mermaid, The Lion King, Beauty and the Beast, you name it - people would have been bashing them just as hard. Even Oscar winning movies like Citizen Kane, Armadeus and The Godfather can receive this kind of hatred. For example, people have complained about Armadeus' "historical inaccuracies" even though it was clearly shown that Salieri was telling the story and his mind was falling apart, making him an unreliable narrator. Most of the time, it's just a case of people trying to separate themselves from the crowd. Ironically, this usually results in them simply joining another crowd. Doug's one of the few people who can actually bring weight to his criticisms of popular movies.
Ok I was watching and I knew Mary Poppins would be super high up on the list, I was expecting it to be first. So when I saw it was 2nd I thought "man now I'm gonna be disappointed with the #1 choice"
And then I saw what #1 was
and just a little squeeeeee happened inside me :3
Confused Matthew explains pretty well why Beauty and the Beast ISN'T about Stockholm Syndrome. And I agree, it's a great movie.
I'm really glad to see "Bedknobs and Broomsticks" on this list, not enough people are familiar with that movie! That was one of my favorites as a child. It's been a long time since I've seen it, and just hearing Doug talk about the music, especially from the overture, I actually got goosebumps just from thinking about it. It is that good.
Haven't watched it yet, but I'm calling Fantasia as one or two. Fantasia (at least the 50th anniversary edition) is not only my favorite Disney film, but favorite film ever
Here's my favorite Disney movies of each decade
1931-1940: Snow White
1941-1950: Bambi
1951-1960: Alice in Wonderland
1961-1970: Either Jungle Book or Sword in the Stone
1971-1980: Winnie the Pooh (unless Rescuers is better, I haven't seen Rescuers)
1981-1990: Little Mermaid
1991-2000: Either Lion King or Toy Story
2001-2010: Toy Story 3
2011-Today: Frozen
Honestly , Rescuers is really boring. It's not terrible or anything, just kinda boring, the sequel is A LOT better.
i think he meant down under
I was referring to the original
meta527II Rescuers is not better. Winnie the Pooh is a masterpiece!
I would love to see Doug's top ten ghibli films
I watched Up when I was nine and I didn't relate to the opening, but I still loved it. I even got a little misty eyed when the workers screwed up his mailbox and didn't understand why he was so upset, and I had never gotten emotional about any movie prior.
I watched Up when I was about 11, and while I didn't quite understand everything, I still felt emotional about it.
Doug, please do a Top 10 Studio Ghibli list. I would love to see it!
