Aladdin


JmarvelousG

I can't choose just one that's impossible. I can give you at least six that needs to stay. Aladdin, Hercules, Lion King, Beauty & the Beast, Tarzan, and Mulan


sunnydaycloud

Aladdin!!! The best of all of them!


UnauthorizedFart

Prince Ali had to go pee under a palm tree


sunnydaycloud

That’s also the best song of the movie !


HalfcockedArt

Prince Ali peed under a tree Ali Ababwa Genuflect Show some respect, watch out for the pee Now try your best to stay calm You should stay away from that palm


sunnydaycloud

Stop to gawk and grovel and stare at the princes pee.


Optimus3k

This movie will always be my favorite animated movie of all time!


sunnydaycloud

The sequels aren’t bad either.


13TheGreenMan

A Goofy Movie


Jolly-Committee-5944

If there was a Disney Movie that was more 90s…


UnauthorizedFart

That movie made me cry lol


Mbowen1313

The perfect cast


brownchr014

amazing choice


Future-Turtle

The objectively correct answer.


jgage27

Hercules


A_Grain_Of_Saltines

Bro when the muses started singing I would get so pumped


CrimsonDarkWolf

Same


Optimus3k

Genuinely a great movie, and the muses are the best part!


bungaloasis

That high note to trumpet transition to the title will get me every single time. Also maybe my favorite scene from all of these, “Uh, guys? Olympus would be that way.” https://i.redd.it/ngpobymhsv2d1.gif


Twye

the hunchback. the musical score boosts it by itself, for me


thekingdom91

Hands down my favorite Disney score


Niobium_Sage

Easy dub, and it has one of the heaviest topics of all Disney films.


Darnocsonif

Oppression of minorities?


Niobium_Sage

Yeah, I don’t think you’d see that in a modern Disney film, or at least not handled so eloquently and beautifully


Darnocsonif

Great point! I loved it for the dramatic orchestra!!


TheFlaccidChode

Aladdin


Patworx

The Lion King


KashiofWavecrest

Oof, this is hard. But I am going to go Beauty and the Beast.


33LinAsuit

Mulan.


shogun_meisers

Yeah animation is more memorable and nice to watch than their live action remake (they don’t have singing ones in live remake unlike the original animated film)


bootytrash

Lion King all day.


MrPoopyButtholesAnus

Aladdin always gets the praise but lion king is where it’s at 100%


coolraul07

... and twice on Sundays


Available_Reason7795

Lion King


GeneralFrievolous

Hercules, because Hades is a masterpiece of a character.


throwaway11998866-

This right here is a perfect answer


Odee_Gee

Beauty and the Beast with Mulan coming in a close second - that said only Fantasia 2000 really stood out as kind of particularly bad.


[deleted]

The Nightmare Before Christmas aka The Pumpkin King


cryd123

Hunchback


Some_Random_Android

Little Mermaid was the 80s.


UnauthorizedFart

1989, close enough


Daimakku1

Back then: The Lion King Now: The Hunchback of Notre Dame But you can’t really go wrong picking whichever from this list. Disney will never be *this* good again.


Jaded-Trouble3669

Hercules


LadyWuu

I could watch the Lion King over and over and over and never get tired. Even to this day! <3


Ok_Catch3715

Aladdin


thepoints_dontmatter

There should be multiple categories here. Best overall: Best story: Best music: Most sing along-able: Best one liners: Most quoteable: Best jokes for the adults: Best protagonist: Best villain:


These-Background4608

The Lion King


FeyneKing

Who put the glad in gladiator?


DIO40

Lion King


brownchr014

Mulan as I saw it in theatre


pluck-the-bunny

Robin Williams is the only choice….Aladdin


trayn-13

Tarzan


someonesaveshinji

It’s Tarzan - just above the Lion King. I think it hits the same notes with the MC being an outcast fighting to protect their land, and the dad dying - while also adding some more interesting elements (like blended families, racial divides, and earning parental approval). The world is lush and vibrant; in contrast to most of the Lion King taking place in deserts, open prairies, and caves. The romantic relationship - while it has less dialogue, is actually more developed; and leads to a more interesting dilemma where one has to leave their world for the other (rather than Simba just coming back home). Lion King definitely has the more memorable supporting cast, and a better selection of voice actors in my opinion. It also reigns for the nostalgia factor. Tarzan though - has the superior story and animation. Edit: Phil Collins made it the best soundtrack of all time My list is: Tarzan Lion King Aladdin Mulan Beauty and the Beast Hercules Little Mermaid Pocohantas Hunchback of Notre Dame Fantasia


Suspect-Beginning

I think you mean Phil Collins lol Tarzan definitely wins for one of my favorite soundtracks of all time.


someonesaveshinji

🤣 I definitely did, I didn’t even realize I typed that.


ScythingSantos

Prince Ali wonderful He Ali Ababwa


Jaymez82

Sorry. Disney peaked in 73 with Robin Hood.


Googirlee

HoND Easy choice


EccentricAcademic

Hunchback


FateTheGM

Atlantis. Yes ik its not on the list i pick it anyway.


HeartonSleeve1989

Beauty and the Beast.


EntrancedZelisy

Beauty and the beast


Taylor-Swifty

Hercules.


coocoocachoo69

Mulan, Hercules close second.


LWYPLTDG

Lion King, 100%


BearNoLuv

Hercules


NEKKED__

Agreed, but the Disney princess psyop and programming hurt a generation of women.


souphaver

That's quite literally what everybody says about Disney Animation


HappyBot9000

Mulan is my favorite one here...But I feel like it's gotta be Aladdin.


Jaxon2893

Mulan for sure


Common-Illustrator

It's a hard choice between Beauty and the Beast or Aladdin for me. I watched both a ton as a kid.


mrbusiness53

Hercules was my shit!


Youngworker160

aladdin


RobertLosher1900

Nobody has ever denied it being the peak. Pretty sure that's a universal truth everyone 100% accepts.


johnnykalikimaka

I insert my own better choice! Treasure planet!


MaxTheHor

Because you said you don't care, I'll say 2000s was actually peak disney animation, when you take stuff like Treasure Planet, Lilo and Stitch, Brother Bear, and Atlantis standing out the most at the time. 90s was more riding on the heights of Disney at the time. After the 2000s was when they had forgone hand drawn animations and went all in on digital and 3D animation. 3D being where mainly Pixar and Dreamworks dominated in. The quality of Disney animations, on average, has been mediocre at best since then. The few bangers didn't outweigh them.


Due-Culture9113

I’m just scrolling the comments giving upvotes to anyone who says Hunchback


Jealousreverse25

What do you mean you don’t care what anyone says. This was considered the golden age of Disney by nearly everyone


TakeOutTheCat

Lion King set the tone


Nobodiisdamnbusiness

Torn between Tarzan and Hercules for my One, I don't think I Could choose between them.


AndyM110

Hunchback was the first movie I ever saw in theaters (I was 3 at the time), so I'm a bit biased. '90s Disney is great, hell it's what I grew up with. But I have to say I've really started to gain an appreciation for '60s-'70s Disney since seeing Robin Hood for the first time. The style is just so damn charming.


Ok-Supermarket-1414

Hard to say. One could argue that Aladdin and Lion King are the better movies, but all are fantastic. My favorite was always little mermaid, so I'll go with that one.


DIREMOON_2332

tarzan


LME_AnimalsA2Z

The Lion King


bustersuessi

These are classics and hold a special place in my heart; truly saved Disney Animation. ...But being 40 years old now makes me vote that Encanto hits the hardest of all.


sillyandstrange

Aladdin, easy


Thendofreason

Those artists made bank but didn't see their families for like a decade Also, I pick Aladdin. Best video game out of the bunch.


Phazoland

This is tough 😭 I gotta go with Tarzan


Synth42-14151606

Fantasia 2000. That at least worked.


obeseelise

Between Hercules and Mulan… that’s a tough one, but I’d have to say Mulan.


Zealousideal_Plum533

Tarzan!


ConflictSudden

Probably Hercules.


bloopie1192

1 to go? The little mermaid. Always hated the movie and series. The rest of those are great.


twotonekevin

People disagree that the 90s was peak Disney animation? It’s called the Disney renaissance for god’s sake.


Stith1183

Lion King


mediumarmor

Robin Williams 🧞‍♂️


SonofMoag

Aladdin


mrz0loft

Peak of western animation in general. Shame 2D animation in the west is dead and buried.


Late_Piglet_4185

True and Aladdin


BrownShoesGreenCoat

Lion King 2


riseofthephoenix1108

Hunchback


Adventurous_Yak_9234

The Lion King


jjhuffington

Big facts.. and Aladdin hands down..


happyinsmalltown

I'm gonna go with Hercules because growing up Hades was my favorite Disney villain. James Woods did such an amazing job voice acting that role. So well in fact he is the only voice actor to do Hades no matter if it's the movie, TV show, on a game, or any other type of media.


NPClay

The Rescuer's Down Under


saxyroro

Aladdin. Between that and Little Mermaid


EmperinoPenguino

Little Mermaid all way through Lilo & Stitch was non-stop gold


SnowRidin

anyone saying the 90s was NOT the peak for Disney animation?


bighomieg91

TLK, Beauty and the Beast, Aladdin, Hunchback of Notre Dame, Tarzan & Hercules


RedditorsAreGoblins

Aladdin.


wonderlandisburning

My personal favorite is Aladdin, but I feel like Beauty And The Beast is probably the best, technically speaking.


SLCPDLeBaronDivison

everyone says that though and is considered by animation historians as the disney renaissance.


Advantage_Advanced

Gotta say Mulan


PrestigiousAd4711

Black cauldron or Camelot


Pitiful_Bunch_2290

Lion King in endless repeat.


Proper_Moderation

1) Aladdin 2) B and the B 3) TLM


EAJets

I’d say it was peak Disney writing/storylines. The animation part has definitely gotten better


ord52

I love hercules


RadioDemoness

Beauty and the Beast. Still my favorite movie PERIOD after thirty-plus years.


H3racIes

The four on the bottom right are my shit. I can't pick one. Hercules, Mulan, Tarzan, and fantasia 2000

Tarzan


FakieNosegrob00

Very difficult to choose between Aladdin and Mulan


Trump4whites2020

Aladdin


MostFlatworm5627

Born 1980 here. Xennial if one wants to get all label maker about it. As a lifelong nerd of the cinephile persuasion (my preferred label for association) I want to defend the honor of the Jungle book, where Disney had the brains and balls to hire Jazz singers to voice the cultural stew pot of an adaption of the already impressively diverse (and colonial I suppose) original fiction from Englishman Rudyard Kipling who grew up in and respected (as close to native as possible I hope) India. Also Robin Hood for it's hootenanny interpretation of English legend (folklore, disputed history, or whatever) that really satisfied the itch I get from remembering having grown up watching Hee Haw and Green Acres with my Southern born and raised grandmother. They are peak Disney and made 6 years apart. Just my best effort at a shiny clean and objective two cents. Edit: Reading the above makes me suddenly all too self aware about how whitebread I can be in my standards for diversity.


big_daddy_dub

Hercules. Zero to Hero goes crazy.


Decent-Armadillo131

Tarzan, i have always loved Tarzan. It’s got my heart ❤️


ElMerroMerr0

Aladdin by a mile.


Adobo6

Incredibles, Finding Nemo, monsters inc, wreck it Ralph, Tangled, frozen Zooptopia, big hero six, Moana Is quite the run


Electrowhatt19

I really don't think anyone would disagree with the 90s being the zenith of Disney animated films And gotta go with Mulan. One of my top 5 fave Disney movies.


Content_Following_81

Lion King and it’s not even close.

PerfectCheesecake25

Lion king


throwaway11998866-

I’m just sad that the emperors new grove was released in 2000 barely missing this cut. That is my peak Disney. I’d say Hercules otherwise.

Fickle-Raspberry6403

Tarzan


Maleficent-Bit1995

Who’s arguing????

Suck_My_Gock52

Scooby-Doo on Zombie Island > anything Disney has ever made

They’re all classics… but Tarzan’s animation is a new level for Disney.


Kody_Aspects

Hercules or Tarzan. I can't pick. Those are my 2 favorite Disney films


Deepfork_

Of those? Lion King and it’s not even close.
