Frozen huh? Don't get me wrong I don't hate on it like everyone else. I'd probably put it in the Top 15 somewhere.

Yeah I know that many Park fans hate Frozen (not saying you do), but if I look at it objectively it's a strong Disney animated fillm with memorable characters and award winning songs. It's an easy target for ridicule because it was far more popular than it deserved to be, but for the generation of kids growing up today it will be their Little Mermaid, so I put it in my top 5.

Black Cauldron is a big departure from a lot of Disney's musical fare, but to me is a bit like a mediocre Studio Ghibli film. I see the allure in it being different, but it really isn't that great of a movie.
For Fantasy Adventures it doesn't hold a candle to other studios that work in that genre, the likes of Spirited Away, Kubo and the Two Strings or even Book of Kells for a cultural neighbour to Welsh tales. How to Train your dragon is a good one from Dreamworks, albeit more American GP friendly.
I'd love Disney to delve into another attempt at Dark Fantasy Adventures, but none of the attempts have resonated thus far.... Black Cauldron, Treasure Planet, Atlantis... etc.

Spirited Away is one of my favorite movies.

Beg your pardon, but I have to stick up for The Fox and the Hound here. It's an extremely simple story, but as a coming of age tale it's one of the more mature animated movies Disney has made. I think that says something since they do so many of those stories. It's elevated though, because we get a climax that forces our protagonist to choose if he will fight for his old values or the new. The resolution is bittersweet, not unlike how life can be. I can see how it might feel slow for some and if I did have a chief complaint about it the humor seems incongruent with the movie at large. Still, if I had to pick my favorite animated features, The Fox and the Hound would be high on the list.

It's definitely one of the brighter points of the dark period I mentioned. I can appreciate your take on it and your points are valid. I still would put the film after everything from Snow White through the early 60s, excluding the package films. I would also put it behind everything in the renaissance and second renaissance. So it would probably be in the middle of the pack somewhere for me.

Spirited Away is phenomenal, but Princess Mononoke remains my favorite Ghibli.
And while we're all rating out favorite Disney animated films
1. Lion King
2. Aladdin
3. Beauty and the Beast
4. Pinocchio
5. Peter Pan
Honorable mentions include Tarzan and Mulan.

The Rescuers is one of my favorite movies. It easily makes my top 5 list. The Fox and the Hound is another great one.

What else is in your Top 5?

Surprised no one has mentioned The Rescuers Down Under. One of my favorite Disney films and a pioneer in the use of CGI in animated films.

It's kind of got lost between Little Mermaid and BATB and never really generated the buzz that it probably deserved. Still though, TOP 5 is stiff competition.

I feel like our top 5 animated movies should be their own topic. Anyway it was really hard to limit t to 5 but here's my top 5
Sleeping Beauty
The Lion King
Beauty and the Beast
Moanna
Zootopia
But for Paint the Night (to keep this on topic) I'd most like to see an Alice and Wondwrland float.

-The Lion King (no Disney movie has topped the masterpiece that is The Lion King)
-Aladdin
-The Rescuers
-Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs
-A Goofy Movie/The Sword in the Stone
Peter Pan used to be one of my ultimate favorites, but as I got older and read the original material and really got a good understanding of the story, I started to feel Disney's version to be watered down. I adore the Peter Pan books and the Disney version misses the sad and emotional aspects of the story, in my opinion. Universal's live-action is my favorite adaptation of Peter Pan, by far. Not really looking forward to Disney's upcoming live-action remake, but we'll see.

We have 3/5 of the same ones. Though with Snow White, I'm wondering how much I'm influenced by how revolutionary the film was.
Goofy movie I don't think is one of the official animated movies or however they categorize them. So if we re not confined to that list Roger Rabbit would have to be in my Top 5
Yeah it's interesting how our taste changes as we age. My Top 5 would have looked very different 15-20 years ago.
I'm surprised I haven't seen Cinderella on any other list.
Are you talking about the live action Peter Pan that came out recently?
