What are your favorites of Disney? (villain, film, etc.)

[GoldMutant]

Disney has grown into a powerful company overtime and has produced classic works of animation, memorable characters, and catchy music. So, what are some of your favorites from the magical company itself? To start, I'll mention my favorite villain.

Villain:
-Frollo: Hands down one of the best villains in Disney and animated history. Frollo's actions make him a terrifying villain, but he's also a well-written and complex character with these actions. His song, Hellfire, has also been one of the darkest songs, symbolizing representation of the sin of lust. Lastly, his death is one of the most dramatic in Disney history with the most chilling final words straight out of the Bible: "And he shall smite the wicked and plunge them into the fiery pit!". Anyway you wish to scratch it whether it be religiously or appreciating the film, Frollo remains one of Disney's greatest villains of all time.

Ladies and gents, feel free to share your opinions but remain respectful. This is to dedicate to the company that has provided many entertainment for a longtime. Hope to hear from you all. :)

Honestly, I have adored the last four Disney animated films:

Tangled
Wreck-It Ralph
Frozen
Big Hero 6

Favorite character: Elsa
Favorite Adorable character: Baymax
Favorite villain: Prince Hans

[pennydreadful]

Frollo totally kicked ass. I tend to like villains better than heroes in Disney movies.

[Leo656]

I'm gonna go ahead and say The Lion King was my favorite Disney movie, and Scar by extension probably my favorite villain. My wife's favorite movie is still Beauty and the Beast, although Toy Story is up there; she had to think about it. Oliver and Company is also a sentimental favorite since it was one of the first movies I ever saw in theaters.

I used to listen to the Lion King soundtrack a lot when I was a kid, so I guess my "favorite" songs would be from that one. Although Oliver and Co. had Billy Joel, so there's some Bonus Points for that.

Villains: Frollo, mos def. And then Scar.
Movies: Lion King, Tangled, Beauty and the Beast, Tarzan, The Rescuers, and Monsters Inc.
Good Guys: Tarzan, Woody, the Sultan, Clopin, and Peter Pan

I'll give this thread a go. I like a lot of Disney meanies.

From the Disney Movies:

The Horned King - The Black Cauldron
Maleficent - Sleeping Beauty *A dark fairy that turns into dragon ...nice.*
Judge Doom - Who Framed Rodger Rabbit *committed one of the most brutal toon deaths ever seen right in front of us*
Ursula The Sea Witch - The Little Mermaid
Mr. McLeach - The Rescuers Down Under * That S.O.B. was foul tempered but also humorous*
Davy Jones - P.o.t.C. Dead Man's Chest & At World's End.

Favorite Disney cartoon villains:

Negaduck - Darkwing Duck
The Archmage & Hakcon - Gargoyles
Don Karnage - TaleSpin

Last runner up...Pete. No matter what he did, he made certain that he caused some trouble.
Fun Fact about Pete: He co-starred in the silent black-and-white Alice Comedies before he appeared in the actual Disney cartoons.

I have added a poll above involving the five eras of Disney as well as the live-action films, Disney Toon films, and Pixar. Where all the Disney films fall in which era is based on this link: http://disney.wikia.com/wiki/Disney_Revival

Most of you are aware of what film goes where, but I'll leave the link just in case. Feel free to vote as I will hopefully add more to the thread relating to the cartoons. Thanks for your time everyone. :)

Hunchback is the best Disney movie, along with Big Hero 6 and Toy Story.
TOY STORY 4 BETTER BE GOOD!

[Darth Knuckles]

In the pole, I voted for the Disney Renaissance Era because I think that era had the best quality Disney movies besides arguably Pixar and I will always prefer 2-D to 3-D animation. There is a lot to think about in this question but here's my best shot (right now... in 2015):

Movies: The Lion King, Aladdin, Toy Story, Toy Story 3, The Rescuers Down Under, A Goofy Movie, Beauty and the Beast, Princess and the Frog, and Wreck-It Ralph.

Good Guys: Grumpy, Genie, Beast, Woody, Buzz Lightyear, Goofy & Max, Baghera, Bernard, Robin Hood, and Ralph & Vanellope.

Heroines: Ariel, Jasmine, Belle, Vanellope, Tiana, and Aurora.

Sidekicks: Timon, Sebastian, Abu, Ray, and Jiminy Cricket.

Villains: Scar, Jafar & Iago, Doctor Facilier, McLeach & Joanna, and Maleficent.

Songs: There are so many I will have to edit this post later. :tgrin:

Animated: Donald Duck and Chip & Dale.

Live Action Movies: Pirates of the Caribbean series (favorite: Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest) and The Santa Clause series (favorite: The Santa Clause)

Live Action Good Guys: Captain Jack Sparrow

Live Action Villains: Davy Jones

TOY STORY 4 BETTER BE GOOD!

Those are some overrated opinions dude.

Best classic didney movie is Aladdin.

[senpai]

Mmmm...Excuse me, but MewMeow does have a very good point. Hunchback is the best Disney movie. :P

[MsMarvelDuckie]

I contend that Lion Kind holds that title. Seriously, who doesn't get a feeling of utter awe and amazement by that opening of sunrise on the savannah? And that song over it? Or Mufasa's death- so heart-breaking! And the chilling Nazi imagery of Scar singing with all the hyenas marching....

[Leo656]

I used to play that soundtrack on a loop while I played Solitaire.

I have always been rather easily amused, especially as a child.

[MsMarvelDuckie]

I have an entire Disney playlist, which includes both Circle of Life and Hakuna Matata. And Can You Feel the Love Tonight, also. So, yeah- I feel ya, man.

[Leo656]

I honestly never loved "Hakuna Matata." Even at 12 I knew that was some ol' hippie bullsh*t. :lol: I loved most everything else though.

[TMNT_Guy]

Disney’s the Great Mouse Detective is one of my favorite movies of all time. You got to love main villain Professor Ratigan, voiced by Vincent Price, he’s the only Disney villain I know who abruptly stopped his villain song just to murder one of his henchman. Just for accidentally calling him a rat. The Big Ben scene always felt so epic, it's definitely an underrated classic.

Also love Darkwing Duck. I really hope the comic book is revived someday.

[MsMarvelDuckie]

I honestly never loved "Hakuna Matata." Even at 12 I knew that was some ol' hippie bullsh*t. :lol: I loved most everything else though.

I liked it for the slightly goofy comradery of Timone and Puumba, although I've been told by a former resident that the phrase has a very DIFFERENT meaning in South Africa....

[Leo656]

Really? I'm intrigued.

[MsMarvelDuckie]

I don't have an exact translation, but apparently it's a reference to someone's "leanings". Anyone who knows for sure, feel free to confirm/correct here. Then again, that meaning might explain a few things about that particular pair of sidekicks....

[Leo656]

HAH. Nice. Nice.

When we were kids, me and my buddies used to joke that "Hakuna Matata" roughly translated to "We're a couple of homo-skillets". That's hilarious to know I wasn't far off. :lol:

[MsMarvelDuckie]

Keep in mind, it's a regional/language difference in meaning.

[DarkFell]

I have an entire Disney playlist, which includes both Circle of Life and Hakuna Matata. And Can You Feel the Love Tonight, also. So, yeah- I feel ya, man.

I have both soundtracks to both Lion King movies, and for the first CD, I felt that the instrumental track *tracks without the singing* were more convincing. The songs were fun but the instrumental tracks held more for me - save for Sir Elton John version of Can You Feel The Love Tonight.

For the second TLK soundtrack, He Lives In You, We Are One *1st version*, One of Us, and Love Will Find A Way *1st version* still remain my favorite songs.

I remember one of my music teachers taking a break from lesson plans in class for a few days when I was a kid because she just wanted everybody to appreciate TLK soundtrack. Nobody complained. Yeah, the instrumental stuff blew me away. I never had any soundtracks but always considered picking some up.

As for why I picked Disney Toons, Gargoyles would fall into that category. So would Star Wars Rebels these days. I don't think I'm picky when it comes to Disney stuff though. I can think of things from every category that I've grown fond of over the years.

[Jephael]

The Disney Afternoon was my sh*t, dudes. I was into it from the very beginning. Heck, I was singing the theme songs to Duck Tales and Chip n' Dale Rescue Rangers months before I got into TMNT!!!

[Cure]

Emperor's New Groove is the best Disney everything.

Ha! Those are all on my Disney playlist, too! Actually, it's pretty much mostly Lion King, Tarzan, Beauty and the Beast, The Princess and the Frog, and Lilo and Stitch, with a bit of The Goofy Movie, Little Mermaid, Hunchback, Brother Bear, and Hercules. Also some track from Tron, Tangled, Oliver and company, and Mulan.

I love Gargoyles, and I wish there was an OST release for it without the voice-over from the intro- I'd LOVE to add some of its better tracks to my list!

[Kanon]

I voted for Disney Renaissance.

I remember that the year the movie Hercules was released (1997), I got a copy from my Granny as a birthday present and was so damn happy about it that I cried until she put it in the player and it started :D

I also got all the audio-drama copies of the movies from that period.
My fav was the hunchback of notre dame.
