^ I'd like to see that quote, as for the rest of your post it's just regular "opinion becomes fact if stated enough" nonsense.
As for your graph, "fun" is the only thing it's based on.
As for 20K not begin a "classic":
-It was the first live action movie made at the Disney studios in Burbank and gave serious creditability to concept of a Disney live action film
- It won 2 Oscars (and was nominated for a 3rd)
- It was a bigger hit than most if not all the animated features of it's decade (even Cinderella)
- In 1997 it was the only other Disney live action title to have made AFI's Top 100 American Films nominations list
- It's influence was and can still be found in the first 4 Disney Resorts
- It was the only film to be shown letterboxed on Vault Disney
- 55 years after it's original release Disney still produces merchandise based on the film
- A reinterpretation of the property is in production now at Disney which shows that the company has not forgotten about it
- It scores better on IMDB [including Hercules, Hunchback, Tarzan, Pocahontas (5.9/10!), The Rescuers, The Great Mouse Detective, Lilo and Stitch etc] and Rotten Tomatoes than most Disney animated features
Need I go on?
