There Seems to Be Some Question . . .

. . . as to who made up this list. Let me asssure everyone, that I am--for better or for worst--solely responsible for this list. I did it myself. Without help from anyone. And let me assure everyone, I have seen every film on this list, and that is why they are on this list. So enjoy!

Uhm? Where are the Escape from the Cave in Aladdin or the Caribbu (sp?) stampede from Lion King or any of the parts of The Rocketeer?

No offense - but you've got some crappy movies on that list.

Re: The Dirty Thirty

No pffense taken. But, what some people may fail to recognize, including yourself, is that while a so-called "crappy" movie may be "crappy," it may also have an action sequence I consider one of the best ever done in a Disney film.
I do consider both "The Lion King" and the "Rocketeer" good action pictures, but I put them under the category of "overall achievement" action. That is they are so good from beginning to end, that just one action sequence cannot be isolated out of the whole picture, so good is the action throughout the picture.
And no offense, while I did enjoy "Aladdin," greatly in fact, I do not consider it an outstanding example of an action picture. Enjoy!
