Disney has been so pioneering in so many areas of entertainment that I think live action films get overlooked a lot. If you think of all the different things they have done in cinema, they really begin to stand out.
Granted, you have to focus on family entertainment to see their value in many instances, but Disney has achieved great things in other categories as well, even documentary with Walt's nature films, like The Living Desert. (which caused the Disney bros. to start the Buena Vista Distribution Co.)
Here's my soap box:
Just look at the all time greatest movie ever, The Love Bug. I mean really, they used a car as the main character, and IT WORKED!!!!! It was actually the highest grossing film of 1969.
( I got my Disney A to Z book out today, can you tell?)
