A while back, we asked you to vote on which animated film was the best. The results are in and...well, there are a couple of them are a bit unexpected. That said, you guys decided so here's your top 15.
The Hunchback of Notre Dame is a weird entry on this list because it's one of the few that you definitely a film you like more as an adult than as a kid. Dealing with a dark story, mature themes, and one of the scariest villains of all time, Hunchback went over most of our heads the first time around. That said, it deserves its spot on this list for the "Hellfire" sequence alone.
When Disney announced that they were going to do a version of Rapunzel, I doubt anyone expected it to be this much of an emotional mindfuck. The film walks the tightrope of tackling some darker themes of the original fairytale while still managing a light and fun tone. Seriously. The movie literally ends with Rapunzel killing her own mother and it's somehow not the saddest thing you've ever seen.
When Marvel was bought up by Disney, we were all kind of expecting an animated superhero movie to come out of it. What's unexpected is that they picked an obscure miniseries and turned it into one of the most joyous and colorful superhero teams ever assembled. Filled with big action and real tearjerker moments, this is a movie that wide-eyed children to jaded comic book fans are sure to love. Baymax > The Vision. There, we said it.
Even though it's about a big, hulking videogame character jumping around through other video games, there's something deeply relatable about Wreck-It Ralph. If you've ever felt trapped by your station in life, you'll probably connect with this movie on a deep personal level. Also, whoever thought to cast Sarah Silverman in a children's film is a mad genius.
There have been literally thousands of retelling of the Robin Hood legend, but it's no surprise that the Disney iteration is the best. By swapping out the main characters for cute talking animals and a badass folk minstrel chicken, the studio breathed new life into a story that had already been told to death. Also, it's probably the reason furries exist, so there's that.
I will say it right here and now: Hercules is the single greatest soundtrack in the history of Disney. There's also a story of some sort, but that's incidental. Have a listen to "I Won't Say I'm in Love" and tell me you don't feel immediately happier.
Lilo & Stitch is something of an oddball in the Disney canon - the artstyle is nothing like other Disney films, one of the main characters is literally a murderous bioweapon, and the music is largely sourced from actual pop music - namely Elvis. But the end result is something truly special - a story about outcasts and family and the meaning of sacrifice. Plus, as far as heartwarming catchphrases go, "Ohana means family" trumps "Hakuna Matata" any day of the week."
Okay, I gotta admit I'm surprised that this one was this high up on the list, but I shouldn't be. Emperor's New Groove is an underrated classic. Kronk alone would be enough to earn a spot on this list, but there's more to the film than just a lovable sidekick. What sets Groove apart is its sense of humor, giving you more jokes per minute (JPM) than any other other film in the history of the studio. Booyah.
Beauty and the Beast was the first animated film to get nominated for Best Picture at the Oscars, and it's incredibly easy to see why. The film is practically perfect in every way, with beautiful animation, a fun (if misunderstood) villain, and one of the best Disney princesses in history.
Piss off, Moana. This is the original kickass Disney princess. Is she a mass murderer? Perhaps, but she more than makes up for it by starring in a movie that's both exhilarating and surprisingly hilarious. Bonus points to Eddie Murphy, who gives the second best performance ever in a Disney movie, but more on that in a second...
Aladdin has all the touchstones of a Disney classic, but what separates it from the rest of the pack is one secret weapon: Robin. Fucking. Williams. Giving what is arguably the greatest voiceover performance in history, Williams raises what would have already been an awesome movie into a whole new world of greatness.
It's never too soon to call something a classic. Though Zootopia may be one of the newest entries on this list, it more than earns the second place spot with its incredibly smart and nuanced take on modern racism. (I never thought that would be a sentence I'd write about a Disney movie, but welcome to a new Golden Age people!)
Are you surprised? The Lion King has everything you could possibly want out a Disney movie: stunning animation, a classic soundtrack, lots of cute talking animals, and an emotionally scarring parent death that we're still talking to our therapist about. With all this stuff going into its favor, it's no surprised that this childhood favorite was your pick to be the king.
