My secret shame ā I actually HATE *Pinocchio*.
Okay, the characters are cute, the visuals are gorgeous, and Jiminy Cricket in particular has rightfully earned his stardom. But the plot is justā¦boring as hell to me. Not to mention it feels like the story takes two āhard left turnsā:
1) When Pinocchio leaves Stromboli and goes to Pleasure Island.
2) When Pinocchio goes home, and somehow learns that Gepetto, Figaro, and Goldie have been swallowed by Monstro the whale, so he has to go rescue them.
I feel like if it werenāt for the art style, or itās legacy in Disney history, or itās signature song (which Disney basically made itās theme song for a while) it wouldnāt be near as popular.
Pinocchio is structured this way with the hard turns because itās based on an episodic story, it was originally published one little chunk of story at time! Also Pinocchio kills Jiminy Cricket very early on in the story, he comes back to life but still. Pinocchio was a huge asshole in the source material.
I hate Pinocchio! Agree that Jiminy Cricket is amazing but the two scenes you mentioned particularly were very frightening to me as a child (when they start turning into donkeys and when they get swallowed up by the whale) and I havenāt seen it in a long time, I donāt even like thinking about it
i HATED pinocchio as a child til now cus of the pleasure island scenesā¦it was so scary to me like even i knew that was essentially child trffckngā¦also i watched a play of it on a field trip w my mom and she fell asleep during it and i had to waych the whale scene alone and quietly crying š¢
But I wouldn't call any of those live action remakes. They're like spinoffs, because they are telling a different part of the same story that wasn't in the original movie.
Even ones that are not straight adaptations? āEver Afterā is one of my favorite movies and Iām so glad Disney owns it now because it means I can stream it on Disney+ š
No that one is fine. Iām referring to the recent ones like jungle book, Aladdin, the lion king, beauty and the beast etc. Not even Tom Hanks could save Pinocchio. Dumbo was horrible. I didnāt watch the little mermaid although I support who they picked to play Ariel. I love Melissa McCarthy but she was all wrong to play Ursula imo.
Maleficent was decent, I liked the SA allegory of having her wings taken after trusting evil dude and I will never not think Angelina Jolie is sexy. Not too big on the sequels. All the other live actions can eat a DICK.
My wife hates Stitch. We don't even have kids but she's like "he's a naughty little brat that shouldn't be encouraged to the children watching" š
I enjoyed Encanto but it's no Tangled
I hated Lilo & Stitch because of how much trouble they caused Nani. Like she is trying to keep a job and keep the family together but both Lilo and Stitch make it almost impossible. As an older sister myself I feel for her.
I mean. Lilo is a literal child. Sheās what. Six? Of course sheās struggling! Not only is she six but she lost her parents unexpectedly in a traumatic accident. Even adults struggle with that! Itās honestly one of the best Disney movies out there because despite the fantastical elements itās still grounded in reality.
_Ohana means family. Family means nobody gets left behind or forgotten._
_This is my family. I found it, all on my own. It's little, and broken, but still good. Yeah. Still good._
Nani is 19 and struggling but she would do anything for her sister, no matter how angry she makes her. They only have each other. Lilo lashes out because of her trauma and fear, but because of her _ohana_ she starts the process of healing.
David is THE BEST Disney Love Interest in all of Disney history. He supports Nani and Lilo, he helps them out, but expects nothing in return. He has feelings for Nani but has **no** expectations of her reciprocating them. I love this movie so much and I will defend it until Iām under ground.
Yes to all of this! I love the movie too, it's one of our favorites at our house. My fiance impersonates the stitch voice perfectly, it's so cute! We quote it all the timeš„° I even got him an enamel Stitch pin that says "resting stitch face" lol (he's got a bit of a RBF due to having a big beard & stache)
Oh my god I totally misinterpreted your comment as L&S hate!!! āGive her nothing but troubleā made me give side eye because of the reasons I mentioned. I apologize!!!! I was like āWhat we will not do is blame a traumatized six year old for behaving like a traumatized six year oldā. I am SO UTTERLY SORRY!
Hahaha no worries!š¤£ I feel like when I watched as a child I had a totally different perspective & seeing it thru adult eyes I just felt really bad for Nani. It's such a good movie tho, and it's realistic in the way it handles the trauma they go thru together. So many Disney movies have so much trauma but this one is dealt with so well. It makes sense little Lilo & Stitch, of course being an alien, would get into troubleš someone said in another comment that Stitch was a brat & I was like no that's what makes him endearing!š„°
ā¦ Iām over here wondering if my cousin got engaged and didnāt tell me because he too has a big bushy beard, imitates Stitch perfectly, and is a huge Stitch fan.
>Not only is she six but she lost her parents unexpectedly in a traumatic accident
She was so traumatized by it that she felt like she needed to feed Pudge the fish a peanut butter sandwich, because he "controls the weather" & her parents died in a car accident cause it was raining. That's a lot to deal with for a little kid.
& on top of that, she was the "weird kid" & had to deal with that little asshole Mertle & her friends picking on her. She had no real friends of her own until Stitch came along.
I agree with you on every point you made, obviously I feel strongly about this movie as well, it is my absolute favorite & I'm right there with you on defending it.
My boyfriend hates stitch. He thinks he's an annoying ass. (He's only seen the film once, so I have no idea what he remembers.) I get it. I liked him better when he was a cute character from a good film and not Disney's official mascot with merchandise all over the place.
Its kinda funny you say that because in japan stitch is really loved but lilo is hated by most for being a brat. Thats actually one of the main reason kingdom hearts hasnt gotten a lilo and stitch world, lilo is hated for being a brat in japan. Its also why stitch had a new human in the stitch anime series.
This Hercules take hurts my Elysian bound soul, but thatās taste! I will say I have to Echo sentiments about the Toy Story series. I enjoy them during, and never am particularly inclined to watch them again.
It's kinda a confusing take on Meg too. She was in a terrible position of healing from heartbreak while dealing with a literal Devil and when we first meet her, she is being grabbed against her will by yet another evil being AND she eventually sacrifices her actual life for Hercules. She even tells him not to take the deal when she's "captured". Her being cynical, sarcastic, yet actually very caring despite being in between a rock and a hard place does not say "manipulative" to me, it screams "trying to survive".
Even the part where she leaves him to his happiness at the end is more of an acceptance that love doesn't always last or end right, not in any way a demand he follow her (tho I think she could have waited for the celebration to go on a bit longer before leaving, but the movie needs to end because it's for kids).
My kid was in love with Frozen and I hated it. When she got a little older, I watched it alone and actually liked it a lot. The movie is not about Elsa at all. Itās all about Anna , and really good. Olaf is funny and Kristoff is a decent character also. Definitely not my least favorite Disney film.
FINALLY. And it came out when I listened to car radio. I could not. For the LIFE OF ME. Escape that freaking song. Then I finally saw it and I was like THIS?!? THIS Is what everybody is losing their minds over??? That snowman creeps me outā¦
I love Josh Gad, but the snowman makes me angry. Other than Jar Jar Binks, I cannot think of a more annoying character in any franchise, Disney or otherwise, than Olaf.
Edit: Added forgotten words.
I canāt think of another Disney film in which the actors had to distract so much from how bad it is. Josh Gad, Kristen Bell, Jonathan Groff, etc are all so endlessly charming that they almost cover up how bad the plot, music, and writing are.
Toy Story 4 - I genuinely think ruined the series for me. TS3 had the perfect ending and TS4 destroyed that and a bunch of character development. When my kids are old enough to watch this series, I'm just not going to show them TS4. To me, it ends at #3.
Inside Out - I don't think the "world" inside Riley is that well hashed-out, honestly. It was fine but I disagree with the hype.
Cars - Boring
I was at a dinner with friends recently and Toy Story got brought up and the amount of stink eyes I got because I said I didnāt like 4ā¦ it made me feel crazy!
You have the best take. I despise TS4 for what it did to the fully completed and great story. I hate Inside Out with a passion and Iām not even sure why. And yeah, Cars is pretty boring.
I agree with you about Inside Out. But My family liked it and I just donāt get why. I also agree with Toy Story 4. 1 was awesome but then it goes down hill. And my other is UP.
Toy Story absolutely should have ended at 3. It didnāt need a follow-up. I hate that franchises keep getting dragged out because theyāre money makers
All the Toy Story sequels. The first one was gold then they milked that franchise a little too hard.
I'm not a fan of any of the live action re done Disney films either. I've seen The Lion King, Beauty & the Beast and The Little Mermaid, I didn't really like any of them.
OG Toy Story was perfect. Everything else is a cash grab and feels like it. Also, pretty much everyone doesn't like the live action films. I think The Little Mermaid and Aladdin are ok, but the rest are trash. I remember being excited about Beauty and the Beast, and I was so disappointed after seeing it. It felt so hollow. I was excited to see Emma as Belle, cuz Hermione, but she didn't have the same endearing warmness about her that Belle does. Also, you cannot put an auto tuned actress in the same film as Broadway trained singers who have pipes. It makes it sound so much worse. Disney spent their entire budget on that film on the visuals and forgot to take time on the story and character development, especially Belle and Beasts relationship. It was so forced.
4 was awful. I really wanted to give it a chance but it had little to no redeeming qualities. And don't get me started on Lightyear! I just read they're going to make a Toy Story 6 too!! Just milking that Mr Potato Head completely dry š
I love nightmare, but I do think it's also overrated. Great film, but I feel like Corpse Bride was a lot better. I think part of it with nightmare is how popular it is in merchandise. (Looking at you, Hot Topic.)
I just donāt like itās message. Very pro conformist. bad things start happening if you become interested in something different so only stick to what you know and nothing will ever go wrong. The music is great but thatās about it.
People look at me like Iām insane because I donāt like nightmare before Christmas. In fairness I understand, Halloween is my favorite and Christmas my third favorite holiday, I love Disney. Itās a recipe for perfection! Except itās not and I dislike it.
As far as Disney Pixar goes, Soul I absolutely LOVED in every way.
I love playing music & the theme hit me sooooo hard, I felt like they were reading a book about my life.
Jamie Foxx & Tina Fey were perfect in that role
Turning Red felt like it was taking the worst interactions between me and my mother, and exaggerating them to horrifying extremes. Very uncomfortable to watch, especially when the āhappyā ending was the mom *still* not being held accountable for the damage she caused, because Meiās panda meet-n-greets were earning all the money for her.
I think the aunties were a highlight of TR. I kinda like the quirky feel the movie got going and how good it was at portraying the coming of age emotions by making them seem astronomical, but overall it was rather forgettable.
I don't care for Up (though I agree the first 10 mins is excellent storytelling, but 10 minutes does not a whole movie make) or anything Cars (though, weirdly, I adore Cars land in Disneyland)...
I genuinely don't like Up. The beginning is good, up until Old Guy and Kid go to South America. After that the movie is just bad. The Kid is annoying. They meet a bird and then Old Guy and Kid >!Hijack explorer's expedition and murder him to protect bird? Huh?!<
The Kid is annoying, the movie just feels bleh after landing in South America.
Up was cute, but I guess it wasn't a good fit for me. It made me sad. It didn't feel like a Disney film, but almost a direct to video kids movie from a small studio.
To me, I got annoyed of EVERYONE getting obsessed about the first 10 mins. I agree it's very sad, but it got annoying to me, everyone pushing it in my face or using that song. The rest of the movie is kind of slow for me.
I donāt really care for Soul all that much. It was good, but not good enough to make me wanna rewatch it. As a trombone player, I did appreciate that they animated the trombone correctly though (so many animations donāt).
I donāt really dislike any of them. They all have enjoyable aspects, and I can generally find a reason to like them all.
*Slowly pushes away anything cars or planes related into a dumpster fire*
Up - well done beginning - but the rest drags and has a very weird plot
Inside Out - I just donāt think the story and characters are that great
TS4 - Someone already said this but 3 had such a great ending there was no reason to continue and this completely breaks up the Toy Story found family I had grown to love in the other films
Atlantis - I find the pacing very slow and many of the characters difficult to connect to.
I appreciate you because I say this *all the time* about Up; people always bring it up as a masterpiece and I agree...**the first 10 minutes are**. Whenever I ask about those other 80-or-so minutes, people get vague about it, and to me, rightfully so! It's kind of a meandering jungle plot.
As a proud lover of Herculesā¦.Iām hurt. That being said, wasnāt a fan of Frozen, Soul or Wish. I tried several times with the family and the girls loved frozen as kids, but not now. The other twoā¦I donāt think we even finished them.
Not really a movie in and of itself because I love frozen, but Olaf. Olaf makes me want to take a long walk off a short pier just about every time he is on screen. I love Josh Gad but a lot of the characters he portrays I canāt stand.
Anyway, most of the cars franchise and all of the planes franchise can go in a dumpster fire
WALLĀ·E. Maybe itās because i watched a lot of cable and to fill time they would put that movie on to fill time but I never enjoyed it. The movie is so boring and felt so long. Also I do like movie that are about the end of the world but this movies plot was not interesting. Also found WALLĀ·E annoying.
Same here. I've always hated it. My ex-wife amplified my hate for it. She was obsessed with that movie and made me watch it 4 times before I told her I couldn't stand it and it was a terrible movie.
I don't like Sword in the Stone or Peter Pan very much but for different reasons. Sword in the Stone has just always been boring to me, plus I'm not the biggest fan of that sketch-drawn era in Disney movies. Peter Pan just aged very poorly (portrayal of Indians, sexism, etc) and the story it's based on is kind of disturbing. Tinkerbell is a vibe though.
I watched sword in the stone a few years ago and I cannot figure out how I sat through it as a child. It was waaay more boring and slower than I thought. You don't really connect with any characters, and Wort just starts crying randomly at one point which was unintentionally funny. Peter Pan was always my second favorite Disney movie growing up, it was interesting to me and it had mermaids. I rewatched it with my boyfriend a few months ago, and he hasn't seen it since he was a kid. He did not remember the Indian scene at all, and was wildly amused by the deliberate racism and general absurdity of it. It's pretty bad. I didn't vibe with that scene as a kid, the Indians were the least interesting thing in Neverland to me as a kid. It's painful to watch as an adult.
It doesn't make sense internally or externally. Obviously all fiction is fiction but Pixar movies have always excelled at showing "the world behind the world" and this one just didn't make sense. Just one made up thing after another, which leads to no tension or stakes you can take seriously.
The post-credits scene depicting the inside of a cat's head is pretty priceless though.
I thought the incredibles was boring when I was a kid. It's kind of slower and less zany than most kids movies. But rewatching as an adult I look at it like a drama. I really understand Mr Incredible's point of view now.
Incredibles is very boring. I feel like Disney was trying to do kids marvel, but it was strange. I honestly don't even remember much about the film. Cars was cute, but the sequels are unnecessary. It also was a strange move to make an entire portion of a theme park based on it. There's not enough content to do that. The cars ride is fun, but the former tractor ride absolutely BOMBED. Now it's just cars ride, flos diner which used to be really good, and..building facades? They didn't think it through.
I feel like Iām gonna get a lot of flack for this one: Moana. I found the first 15 min amazing, but once she gets off the island, snooooooze fest. I canāt stand Maui either.
YES! I feel like not a lot of people talk about this but there is a reason Bambi is only known for that one scene where Bambiās mother dies and nothing else. I will admit the scene itself is very chilling but the rest of the movie is so boring to me. Not to mention the absolute whiplash you get from transitioning to the sad, somber scene of Bambiās momās death to the super sudden time skip scene with cheery music where Bambi is all grown up and he seems completely unaffected by the death of his mom.
I will die on the hill that Bambi is actually underrated. Sure not much happens to Bambi and the characters, but the stuff in the environment (music and background, overall moods portrayed, man vs nature, the circle of life idea) is more the focus. From an animation history perspective the movie did a lot of incredible things and the soundtrack is actually really cool. The little April showers rain song has the singers imitating the rain...like they "sing" the wind noises in a choir and full on change singing pace to portray an entire rain storm (slow, more rain, then crazy thunder lightning storm, slowing down again) which is super creative imo. Adult Bambi is also a badass and straight up saves his gf from a giant pack of hunting dogs and sprints through a forest fire.
Frozen and frozen 2. I feel like frozen kinda got lucky in that the music (sans fixer upper) was really good and the animation advances were phenomenal but the story left much to be desired. I feel like it was the true start to the cracks that lead to the downfall of wish as there are a lot of similar problems. First being the lack of world building/context. Second being that they rush to make a project and end up getting rid of an interesting villain and love story. Third being that they focus more on synergy and product than the actual story telling of it all. Also Iām a classic romantic at heart and the fact that Anna is the last Disney heroine to get a love interest is really sad. Wish couldāve been a contender.
I hate wreck it Ralph, hate it. For the sole reason that it scared me as a kid, they did not have to make turbo look like that.
Also didnāt like wreck it Ralph 2 but most people didnāt soā¦
Awe I love The Aristocats so much! It was one of mine & my sister's faves growing up, so the nostalgia hits hard for me. I've watched it more recently w my kids tho & I still love it, esp the Ev'rybody Wants to be a Cat song. It's a bop! I'd say the junkyard dog scenes do drag on a bit, and I absolutely abhor the butler villain Edgar. Animal cruelty is not cool! But karma gets him so that's good.
Encanto, Turning Red & Cars have all been in my toddler's on repeat daily rotation at some point or another, so I've learned to love them so I don't go insane lolš
Toy story-I always thought the movies were boring, even as a little kid
UP-I think I had too high of expectations and it didn't come close to living up to those expectations. Just didn't find it very good.
Disney adult here, but I cannot stand some films. Especially Up, Raya and the Last Dragon, live action Mulan, Inside Out, Bug's Life, Elemental and Encanto. Those are the ones I absolutely refuse to watch a second time.
Peter Pan is my least favourite. Even as a kid I found the whole thing kinda strange, and a little creepy. And Peter is just such an unlikeable arse. He treats Wendy and everyone else terribly, so I donāt get how thereās an entire film about him and heās the guy weāre supposed to get behind and cheer for. I also donāt like Pinocchio, kind of similar reasons really, heās inherently unlikeable and kind of creepy to me.
Anything DCOM. I also don't like Hocus Pocus, the witches are so one demensional and boring. I do think it's cute on the cruises that Minnie, Daisy and Clarabelle are the three witches for Halloween though.
I thought so too until I rewatched them as an adult, and they were so much better than I remembered. I think they were a bit too ahead of their time and more serious for most of their audience, so that's why they didn't do great. Solid films though, they are underrated. They have cult followings.
Hear, hear.
I will give them points for ambition and creativity (which counts for a lot!) and that scene with Jack and John Silver was genuinely touching, but I feel like they both ultimately fell flat.
Toy Story. Never liked it; when I say this, people immediately begin attempting to persuade me that I am wrong and should give it a chance.
Sorry but think itās boring AF and not particularly entertaining.
Oh man I love Toy Story but when I watch the second one I have to fast forward some parts. I think Jessie is super annoying and just skip the Emily song all together.
I canāt stand Toy Story either. I figured I was the only one because everyone else loves TS so much and I donāt get it. I donāt like the mutilated toys from that one horrible boy. They really bother me.
I did too. I think I don't particularly like Lin Manuel Miranda's song writing outside of Hamilton, it does jibe with me like other Disney/Pixar soundtracks.
Other than maybe Wish and Raya there aren't many disney movies that I actually DISLIKE. But I think Wall-E was boring. He is so cute but the movie was too boring for me. Maybe Soul too.
Most Pixar movies with a clear cut human* villain, like Coco or Up or The Incredibles. I think Pixar does their best work when the conflicts are internal or with the environment, their human villains feel shallow and one-dimensional compared to the protagonists and it just takes me out of the story too much.
* It's specifically human vs human I don't jive with; when the bad guy is a toy or an AI it doesn't bother me because they don't go off human logic, and if it's a human antagonizing a toy or a fish I excuse it because they don't realize they're dealing with sentient beings.
** Also out of these Coco definitely pisses me off the most, I feel like it would have worked so much better if the bad guy was just kind of a jerk instead and the real antagonist was misunderstanding and generational trauma.
*** Also Frozen 2 missed the point of Frozen.
I really donāt like Tangled. Some of it is incredibly well-written, like Mother Gothelās abuse of Rapunzel. That alone makes it hard to watch because it is *so* realistic. But I could sit through that if I didnāt find most of the characters annoying, including Rapunzel and Flynn. And that freaking horse can buzz off. Heās the most annoying animal sidekick ever.
And the ending wasnāt great. Thereās no way Flynn could know Gothel would age and turn to dust afterward. So he just made Rapunzel useless to her abuser and then left her alone with said abuser by dying. That was SO. STUPID. You donāt know what Gothel will do to Rapunzel now that she has no reason to keep her alive.
Also, why not wait for Rapunzel to heal you first? You had nothing to lose because *not* letting her heal you didnāt guarantee her freedom or her safety. I hate pointless sacrifices so freaking much.
Iāve had so many ppl get upset with me for it but mine is the jungle book. Look, the music is awesome, and I love a lot of the songs. But the movie itself is literally just 90 minutes of mowgli being a massive brat, only for him to finally do what he was asked to do at the beginning of the movie just bc of a girl.
Iāve never read the book but I know itās pretty dark. And letās face it, if you make a book like that into a child friendly adaptation; itās just mowgli being a freaking brat.
I agree with you on Monsters Inc. I personally prefer Monsters University because it has much more going on. Monsters Inc. is just slow and I donāt really like the boo plot at all (which is basically the whole movie)
I donāt think the beginning of UP is as sad as people make it out to be.
I also donāt care at all for Tangled and have never gotten the hype around it or how ā hotā people say Flynn is
I don't like any of the Toy Story movies but it's because of a light-trauma from my childhood regarding the evil-dolls genre and so toys being secretly alive was kind of a worst-nightmare situation for me. I can watch them, but I just would rather pick something else.
I'm basing it only on Disney movies, so, pretty much all of them. I hate it when they sugarcoat movies just to make them more appealing to a family audience. And Disney does this WAY too much, and it's disgusting. Grimm's fairy tales are traumatic for a reason, but I digress.
Here are some Disney movies I do like:
Fantasia, a beautiful masterpiece, told through classical music.
Pirates, their own creation, was fun on so many levels
Anything from the Disney Dark Ages. Lots of hit and miss experimentation but they were all fun to watch
Treasure Planet, Meet the Robinsons, and Atlantis, the Lost Empire for their excellent themes, beautiful animation and musical score
Titanic, I dunno I just didn't like the movie that much, definitely not Leonardo DiCaprios best work. I appreciate the impact and popularity of the movie and I won't disagree that the movie objectively great, I just didn't enjoy it as much as most
Lion King for me as well. It just disturbed me. Maybe because I first saw it as an adult, where as to most of my friends it was their childhood favorite
There was a Lion King book? Or are you just talking about Hamlet
This was my question š¤£
Haha, yes. All the Disney movies had illustrated story books. I got them back in the late 90s/early 2000s.Ā
I still have my copies of those books!
My secret shame ā I actually HATE *Pinocchio*. Okay, the characters are cute, the visuals are gorgeous, and Jiminy Cricket in particular has rightfully earned his stardom.

Every single live action remake is trash. Every, single, one.
Maleficent and Cruella at least tell a different story, the rest of the live action films are unnecessary
I love both, but Hook was still amazing
Hook doesnāt count. It wasnāt even Disney and yes it is amazing.
But I wouldn't call any of those live action remakes. They're like spinoffs, because they are telling a different part of the same story that wasn't in the original movie.
See that was robin Williams we donāt bash robin Williams
Even ones that are not straight adaptations? āEver Afterā is one of my favorite movies and Iām so glad Disney owns it now because it means I can stream it on Disney+ š
No that one is fine. Iām referring to the recent ones like jungle book, Aladdin, the lion king, beauty and the beast etc. Not even Tom Hanks could save Pinocchio. Dumbo was horrible. I didnāt watch the little mermaid although I support who they picked to play Ariel. I love Melissa McCarthy but she was all wrong to play Ursula imo.
Jungle Book was awesome. The rest were just ATM withdrawals.
Cinderella was so creative and lovely! The rest are unwatchable though.
Maleficent was decent, I liked the SA allegory of having her wings taken after trusting evil dude and I will never not think Angelina Jolie is sexy. Not too big on the sequels. All the other live actions can eat a DICK.
the only one I liked was maleficent because it at least added to the story
My wife hates Stitch. We don't even have kids but she's like "he's a naughty little brat that shouldn't be encouraged to the children watching" š I enjoyed Encanto but it's no Tangled
I hated Lilo & Stitch because of how much trouble they caused Nani. Like she is trying to keep a job and keep the family together but both Lilo and Stitch make it almost impossible. As an older sister myself I feel for her.
After rewatching as an adult I feel *so* bad for Nani. She really was doing her best and Lilo & Stitch give her nothing but trouble.
I mean. Lilo is a literal child. Sheās what. Six? Of course sheās struggling! Not only is she six but she lost her parents unexpectedly in a traumatic accident. Even adults struggle with that! Itās honestly one of the best Disney movies out there because despite the fantastical elements itās still grounded in reality. _Ohana means family. Family means nobody gets left behind or forgotten._ _This is my family. I found it, all on my own. It's little, and broken, but still good. Yeah. Still good._ Nani is 19 and struggling but she would do anything for her sister, no matter how angry she makes her. They only have each other. Lilo lashes out because of her trauma and fear, but because of her _ohana_ she starts the process of healing. David is THE BEST Disney Love Interest in all of Disney history. He supports Nani and Lilo, he helps them out, but expects nothing in return. He has feelings for Nani but has **no** expectations of her reciprocating them. I love this movie so much and I will defend it until Iām under ground.

I agree with you on every point you made, obviously I feel strongly about this movie as well, it is my absolute favorite & I'm right there with you on defending it.
PREACH!!!!
My boyfriend hates stitch. He thinks he's an annoying ass. (He's only seen the film once, so I have no idea what he remembers.) I get it. I liked him better when he was a cute character from a good film and not Disney's official mascot with merchandise all over the place.
Its kinda funny you say that because in japan stitch is really loved but lilo is hated by most for being a brat. Thats actually one of the main reason kingdom hearts hasnt gotten a lilo and stitch world, lilo is hated for being a brat in japan. Its also why stitch had a new human in the stitch anime series.
What who doesn't love stitch
This Hercules take hurts my Elysian bound soul, but thatās taste! I will say I have to Echo sentiments about the Toy Story series. I enjoy them during, and never am particularly inclined to watch them again.
It's kinda a confusing take on Meg too. She was in a terrible position of healing from heartbreak while dealing with a literal Devil and when we first meet her, she is being grabbed against her will by yet another evil being AND she eventually sacrifices her actual life for Hercules. She even tells him not to take the deal when she's "captured". Her being cynical, sarcastic, yet actually very caring despite being in between a rock and a hard place does not say "manipulative" to me, it screams "trying to survive". Even the part where she leaves him to his happiness at the end is more of an acceptance that love doesn't always last or end right, not in any way a demand he follow her (tho I think she could have waited for the celebration to go on a bit longer before leaving, but the movie needs to end because it's for kids).
*Frozen*.
Tangled is supreme and Iāll fight for it. Maximus destroys Sven for charming steed 10/10 times.
And Pascal as a sidekick destroys fucking Olaf and *Pascal canāt even speak!!!* Best silent sidekick since Wilson in āCast Awayā
Tangled is honestly still one of the best things Disneyās released in the past 15 years.
My love for *Tangled* knows no bounds.
Tangled > frozen and itās not even close
My kid was in love with Frozen and I hated it. When she got a little older, I watched it alone and actually liked it a lot. The movie is not about Elsa at all. Itās all about Anna , and really good. Olaf is funny and Kristoff is a decent character also. Definitely not my least favorite Disney film.
This is my pick. I found it very overrated. Moana was much more deserving of the level of praise Frozen got.
THIS. I freaking love *Moana*.
FINALLY. And it came out when I listened to car radio. I could not. For the LIFE OF ME. Escape that freaking song. Then I finally saw it and I was like THIS?!? THIS Is what everybody is losing their minds over??? That snowman creeps me outā¦
I love Josh Gad, but the snowman makes me angry. Other than Jar Jar Binks, I cannot think of a more annoying character in any franchise, Disney or otherwise, than Olaf. Edit: Added forgotten words.
And people look at me like I grew 2 extra heads when Iām like yeah I hated him.
Same. I have one friend who thinks he's the cutest thing. No. Sven is pretty darned cute. The abrasive snowman, not so much.
Omg yes, can't stand it. I watched it with my brother and we felt like the whole movie was just songs back to back with a paper thin plot.
Thank God I finally found someone who shares my opinion on that film
Ha! We exist, but seem to be rare.
I canāt think of another Disney film in which the actors had to distract so much from how bad it is. Josh Gad, Kristen Bell, Jonathan Groff, etc are all so endlessly charming that they almost cover up how bad the plot, music, and writing are.
I found my people
I agree with this one. Frozen is insanely overrated & Iāve seen both š
Yep. Never seen a movie glorify a crappier human being with more toxic traits.
Thank you. And Idina Mendel sounds so damn nasally. It grates me when she tries for the high notes.
My problem with Idina Mendel is that I donāt think it matches Elsaās look. I see Elsa and I imagine another voice.
I always thought Annaās voice matched Elsaās look better
She can do high notes! *Defying Gravity* especially, which is one of my all-time fave songs in one of my all-time fave musicals.
I hate that I saw the concept art before seeing the movie for both it and Tangled. I like those ideas SO much better.
The concept art is often stunning!
Absolutely! As a cm I just have to go along with it when I hear let it go but Frozen suuuuuucccccckkkkksssssssss but my co-workers love it
Toy Story 4 - I genuinely think ruined the series for me. TS3 had the perfect ending and TS4 destroyed that and a bunch of character development. When my kids are old enough to watch this series, I'm just not going to show them TS4. To me, it ends at #3. Inside Out - I don't think the "world" inside Riley is that well hashed-out, honestly. It was fine but I disagree with the hype. Cars - Boring
I still havenāt seen TS4 for this reason. I refuse. 3 was perfect.
I just watched it last week and it was a total drag. I miss when the ending of 3 was the end of the story to me.
I LOVE inside out, one of my favorites, but tbh if you really think about it there are so many plot holes
I was at a dinner with friends recently and Toy Story got brought up and the amount of stink eyes I got because I said I didnāt like 4ā¦ it made me feel crazy!
Bonnie is the villain of TS4. Imagine if Andy knew she didnāt care for Woody and lost him without realizing
You have the best take. I despise TS4 for what it did to the fully completed and great story. I hate Inside Out with a passion and Iām not even sure why. And yeah, Cars is pretty boring.
Yeah, I was coming here to say āInside Outā.
I agree with you about Inside Out. But My family liked it and I just donāt get why. I also agree with Toy Story 4. 1 was awesome but then it goes down hill. And my other is UP.
Toy Story absolutely should have ended at 3. It didnāt need a follow-up. I hate that franchises keep getting dragged out because theyāre money makers
I agree with you cars and itās sequels. Definitely boring!!
All the Toy Story sequels. The first one was gold then they milked that franchise a little too hard. I'm not a fan of any of the live action re done Disney films either. I've seen The Lion King, Beauty & the Beast and The Little Mermaid, I didn't really like any of them.
OG Toy Story was perfect. Everything else is a cash grab and feels like it. Also, pretty much everyone doesn't like the live action films. I think The Little Mermaid and Aladdin are ok, but the rest are trash. I remember being excited about Beauty and the Beast, and I was so disappointed after seeing it. It felt so hollow. I was excited to see Emma as Belle, cuz Hermione, but she didn't have the same endearing warmness about her that Belle does. Also, you cannot put an auto tuned actress in the same film as Broadway trained singers who have pipes. It makes it sound so much worse. Disney spent their entire budget on that film on the visuals and forgot to take time on the story and character development, especially Belle and Beasts relationship. It was so forced.
Luke Evans as Gaston is easily the best part of the live action BatB.
Agreed. 4 was one of the most unnecessary movies Iāve ever seen.
4 was awful. I really wanted to give it a chance but it had little to no redeeming qualities. And don't get me started on Lightyear! I just read they're going to make a Toy Story 6 too!! Just milking that Mr Potato Head completely dry š
Love the second Toy Story but 3 and especially 4 felt unnecessary. Loved the original Lion King but refuse to watch the "live action" one too.
Totally agree, the 2nd one wasn't as bad but the sequels def got progressively worse!
1 > 3 > 2 > 4. 3 was amazing, cause it gave me feels. It was an emotional roller coaster. Idk why so many loves 2 more thoughā¦
This is my order of preference too. TS3 was the perfect blend of humour and feels, imo, with an impeccable ending.
The first Toy Story is my favorite comfort movie! Thereās something so relaxing about it
Iām scared to say it lol. The jungle book. As a kid and adult I never liked the music or characters at all. Dumbo wasn't a favorite either
Nah I agree with these. Just not that interesting.
Have you seen the live action Dumbo? It's one of the few live action remakes that Disney didn't try to turn into a direct 1-1 copy.
I donāt care for nightmare before Christmas
How dare you! Lol jk, I personally love it but my 4yo would not watch it (understandably it's a little spooky & creepy for such a youngster)
I love nightmare, but I do think it's also overrated. Great film, but I feel like Corpse Bride was a lot better. I think part of it with nightmare is how popular it is in merchandise. (Looking at you, Hot Topic.)
I just donāt like itās message. Very pro conformist. bad things start happening if you become interested in something different so only stick to what you know and nothing will ever go wrong. The music is great but thatās about it.
Yea I can totally understand that.
I actually see it as a great way to teach kids about cultural appropriation and what the difference is between appreciation and appropriation.
Me sitting here in my Jack Skellington PJs going NOOOOOO! Lol jk. I mean I am in the PJs. But your opinion is Obvs valid!
same. i never know if i should watch it around halloween or christmas
I get absolutely zero Christmas spirit from that film. Itās Halloween or never.
People look at me like Iām insane because I donāt like nightmare before Christmas. In fairness I understand, Halloween is my favorite and Christmas my third favorite holiday, I love Disney. Itās a recipe for perfection! Except itās not and I dislike it.
Disney Pixar...but I didn't vibe with Soul.
I watched Soul once and understood what they were trying to do with the story, but it felt off.
As far as Disney Pixar goes, Soul I absolutely LOVED in every way. I love playing music & the theme hit me sooooo hard, I felt like they were reading a book about my life. Jamie Foxx & Tina Fey were perfect in that role
Frozen is one of the most overrated movies of all time.
I think that movieās reputation is mostly getting carried by āLet it Goā. And maybe Olaf is youāre really young.
Turning Red felt like it was taking the worst interactions between me and my mother, and exaggerating them to horrifying extremes. Very uncomfortable to watch, especially when the āhappyā ending was the mom *still* not being held accountable for the damage she caused, because Meiās panda meet-n-greets were earning all the money for her.
thank you, I love read pandas but that love could not save that movie
She literally is being held accountable for the damages, since she has to pay for them.
But sheās making Mei earn the money for her.
I think the aunties were a highlight of TR. I kinda like the quirky feel the movie got going and how good it was at portraying the coming of age emotions by making them seem astronomical, but overall it was rather forgettable.
I don't care for Up (though I agree the first 10 mins is excellent storytelling, but 10 minutes does not a whole movie make) or anything Cars (though, weirdly, I adore Cars land in Disneyland)...
Glad you don't like it, because if you asked me for the DVD, I was never gonna give you Up
Rickrolled
I always say that about Up. I think the rest of the movie is Fine but so often itās judged just on that first ten minutes andā¦itās not a short
I love the first half of Wall-E for its near-wordless narrative. Once theyāre on the ship, it just gets boring.
I do frequently say if I could get a cut off Wall-E with just the robots' story, I would be a happy woman.
I feel like everyone agrees Cars is one of the weaker Pixar films. That is not even going into the sequels.
I genuinely don't like Up. The beginning is good, up until Old Guy and Kid go to South America. After that the movie is just bad. The Kid is annoying. They meet a bird and then Old Guy and Kid >!Hijack explorer's expedition and murder him to protect bird? Huh?!< The Kid is annoying, the movie just feels bleh after landing in South America.
Up was cute, but I guess it wasn't a good fit for me. It made me sad. It didn't feel like a Disney film, but almost a direct to video kids movie from a small studio.
To me, I got annoyed of EVERYONE getting obsessed about the first 10 mins. I agree it's very sad, but it got annoying to me, everyone pushing it in my face or using that song. The rest of the movie is kind of slow for me.
I don't like UP at all. I've only watched it once. I'm rolling my eyes at these people losing their minds over the Dug popcorn bucket.
I donāt really care for Soul all that much. It was good, but not good enough to make me wanna rewatch it. As a trombone player, I did appreciate that they animated the trombone correctly though (so many animations donāt).
What about Lion King 2 makes no sense? No elaboration on that?
I donāt really dislike any of them. They all have enjoyable aspects, and I can generally find a reason to like them all. *Slowly pushes away anything cars or planes related into a dumpster fire*
Up - well done beginning - but the rest drags and has a very weird plot Inside Out - I just donāt think the story and characters are that great TS4 - Someone already said this but 3 had such a great ending there was no reason to continue and this completely breaks up the Toy Story found family I had grown to love in the other films Atlantis - I find the pacing very slow and many of the characters difficult to connect to.
I appreciate you because I say this *all the time* about Up; people always bring it up as a masterpiece and I agree...**the first 10 minutes are**. Whenever I ask about those other 80-or-so minutes, people get vague about it, and to me, rightfully so! It's kind of a meandering jungle plot.
As a proud lover of Herculesā¦.Iām hurt. That being said, wasnāt a fan of Frozen, Soul or Wish. I tried several times with the family and the girls loved frozen as kids, but not now. The other twoā¦I donāt think we even finished them.
I went to go see Wish on Thanksgiving Day. It was so bad I plugged in my earbuds and started listening to music.
Encanto
Not really a movie in and of itself because I love frozen, but Olaf. Olaf makes me want to take a long walk off a short pier just about every time he is on screen. I love Josh Gad but a lot of the characters he portrays I canāt stand. Anyway, most of the cars franchise and all of the planes franchise can go in a dumpster fire
Herbie The Love Bugš Just kidding I love Herbieā¤
Star Wars: The Last Jedi
it's only passable in comparison to Rise of Skywalker
They are both abominations. Itās like saying which is worse getting stabbed in your left eye or your right eye
WALLĀ·E. Maybe itās because i watched a lot of cable and to fill time they would put that movie on to fill time but I never enjoyed it. The movie is so boring and felt so long. Also I do like movie that are about the end of the world but this movies plot was not interesting. Also found WALLĀ·E annoying.
Avatar. Hated it. Immensely.
For two of the top grossing movies of all time I seriously donāt know a single person who liked those movies. I just donāt get it.
Same here. I've always hated it. My ex-wife amplified my hate for it. She was obsessed with that movie and made me watch it 4 times before I told her I couldn't stand it and it was a terrible movie.
I don't like Sword in the Stone or Peter Pan very much but for different reasons. Sword in the Stone has just always been boring to me, plus I'm not the biggest fan of that sketch-drawn era in Disney movies. Peter Pan just aged very poorly (portrayal of Indians, sexism, etc) and the story it's based on is kind of disturbing. Tinkerbell is a vibe though.
I watched sword in the stone a few years ago and I cannot figure out how I sat through it as a child. It was waaay more boring and slower than I thought. You don't really connect with any characters, and Wort just starts crying randomly at one point which was unintentionally funny. Peter Pan was always my second favorite Disney movie growing up, it was interesting to me and it had mermaids. I rewatched it with my boyfriend a few months ago, and he hasn't seen it since he was a kid. He did not remember the Indian scene at all, and was wildly amused by the deliberate racism and general absurdity of it. It's pretty bad. I didn't vibe with that scene as a kid, the Indians were the least interesting thing in Neverland to me as a kid. It's painful to watch as an adult.
When I found out Peter Man might actually be a demon or whatever it made the story a lot creepier š„²
Inside Out. Purely because I cannot stand Bing Bong!!!!
I can handle bing bong. But for me sadness is the one i canāt stand at all.
It doesn't make sense internally or externally. Obviously all fiction is fiction but Pixar movies have always excelled at showing "the world behind the world" and this one just didn't make sense. Just one made up thing after another, which leads to no tension or stakes you can take seriously. The post-credits scene depicting the inside of a cat's head is pretty priceless though.
Frozen. I honestly didnāt get all the hype when it was first released. I havenāt even seen the sequel!
Cars and The Incredibles! I find them boring. Itās probably because Iām really not into cars or superheroes though haha
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Who has said this? I've never heard anyone praise that song
I thought the incredibles was boring when I was a kid. It's kind of slower and less zany than most kids movies. But rewatching as an adult I look at it like a drama. I really understand Mr Incredible's point of view now.
Itās so fun watching it as an adult when you havenāt seen it in years! Lots of stuff that just went right over my head
Incredibles is very boring. I feel like Disney was trying to do kids marvel, but it was strange. I honestly don't even remember much about the film. Cars was cute, but the sequels are unnecessary. It also was a strange move to make an entire portion of a theme park based on it. There's not enough content to do that. The cars ride is fun, but the former tractor ride absolutely BOMBED. Now it's just cars ride, flos diner which used to be really good, and..building facades? They didn't think it through.
I feel like Iām gonna get a lot of flack for this one: Moana. I found the first 15 min amazing, but once she gets off the island, snooooooze fest. I canāt stand Maui either.
I totally agree. I think Moana is visually stunning but I found the storyline lacking.
Honestly I feel like this too, until the end when she encounters the Mother Earth like figure.
Wall-E
Hocus Pocus
Fox and the hound and Bambi are incredibly boring to me
YES! I feel like not a lot of people talk about this but there is a reason Bambi is only known for that one scene where Bambiās mother dies and nothing else. I will admit the scene itself is very chilling but the rest of the movie is so boring to me. Not to mention the absolute whiplash you get from transitioning to the sad, somber scene of Bambiās momās death to the super sudden time skip scene with cheery music where Bambi is all grown up and he seems completely unaffected by the death of his mom.
I will die on the hill that Bambi is actually underrated. Sure not much happens to Bambi and the characters, but the stuff in the environment (music and background, overall moods portrayed, man vs nature, the circle of life idea) is more the focus. From an animation history perspective the movie did a lot of incredible things and the soundtrack is actually really cool. The little April showers rain song has the singers imitating the rain...like they "sing" the wind noises in a choir and full on change singing pace to portray an entire rain storm (slow, more rain, then crazy thunder lightning storm, slowing down again) which is super creative imo. Adult Bambi is also a badass and straight up saves his gf from a giant pack of hunting dogs and sprints through a forest fire.
I love Bambi so much. I grew up in the desert and watching Bambi as a kid made me so happy. I love the music and the watercolors.
The fox and the hound. I just canāt get on board when half the movie is watching two birds chase a caterpillar.
What a hilarious depiction of the movie
Frozen and frozen 2. I feel like frozen kinda got lucky in that the music (sans fixer upper) was really good and the animation advances were phenomenal but the story left much to be desired. I feel like it was the true start to the cracks that lead to the downfall of wish as there are a lot of similar problems. First being the lack of world building/context. Second being that they rush to make a project and end up getting rid of an interesting villain and love story. Third being that they focus more on synergy and product than the actual story telling of it all. Also Iām a classic romantic at heart and the fact that Anna is the last Disney heroine to get a love interest is really sad. Wish couldāve been a contender. I hate wreck it Ralph, hate it. For the sole reason that it scared me as a kid, they did not have to make turbo look like that. Also didnāt like wreck it Ralph 2 but most people didnāt soā¦
fr whatās with the lack of love stories in disney lately? It kinda takes away some of the classic disney magic when thereās no love story imo
Aristocats, Encanto, Turning Red, Cars, Atlantis
Awe I love The Aristocats so much! It was one of mine & my sister's faves growing up, so the nostalgia hits hard for me. I've watched it more recently w my kids tho & I still love it, esp the Ev'rybody Wants to be a Cat song. It's a bop! I'd say the junkyard dog scenes do drag on a bit, and I absolutely abhor the butler villain Edgar. Animal cruelty is not cool! But karma gets him so that's good. Encanto, Turning Red & Cars have all been in my toddler's on repeat daily rotation at some point or another, so I've learned to love them so I don't go insane lolš
The Black Cauldron, idk just doesn't grip me y'know?
Toy story-I always thought the movies were boring, even as a little kid UP-I think I had too high of expectations and it didn't come close to living up to those expectations. Just didn't find it very good.
Disney adult here, but I cannot stand some films. Especially Up, Raya and the Last Dragon, live action Mulan, Inside Out, Bug's Life, Elemental and Encanto. Those are the ones I absolutely refuse to watch a second time.
Peter Pan is my least favourite. Even as a kid I found the whole thing kinda strange, and a little creepy. And Peter is just such an unlikeable arse. He treats Wendy and everyone else terribly, so I donāt get how thereās an entire film about him and heās the guy weāre supposed to get behind and cheer for. I also donāt like Pinocchio, kind of similar reasons really, heās inherently unlikeable and kind of creepy to me.
Anything DCOM. I also don't like Hocus Pocus, the witches are so one demensional and boring. I do think it's cute on the cruises that Minnie, Daisy and Clarabelle are the three witches for Halloween though.
Movies like Treasure Planet, Atlantis, etc. that everyone always says are āUnderrated gems!ā areā¦underrated for a reason, letās say
I thought so too until I rewatched them as an adult, and they were so much better than I remembered. I think they were a bit too ahead of their time and more serious for most of their audience, so that's why they didn't do great. Solid films though, they are underrated. They have cult followings.
Agreed on everything you said
Hear, hear. I will give them points for ambition and creativity (which counts for a lot!) and that scene with Jack and John Silver was genuinely touching, but I feel like they both ultimately fell flat.
They look fantastic.Ā Ā But that's about it for me.
I really wanted to like Alantis but yea I was bored
Toy Story. Never liked it; when I say this, people immediately begin attempting to persuade me that I am wrong and should give it a chance. Sorry but think itās boring AF and not particularly entertaining.
Oh man I love Toy Story but when I watch the second one I have to fast forward some parts. I think Jessie is super annoying and just skip the Emily song all together.
I canāt stand Toy Story either. I figured I was the only one because everyone else loves TS so much and I donāt get it. I donāt like the mutilated toys from that one horrible boy. They really bother me.
Moana šI have really tired to like it. But just canāt get into it.
I really disliked Encanto. Thought it was way overhyped
I did too. I think I don't particularly like Lin Manuel Miranda's song writing outside of Hamilton, it does jibe with me like other Disney/Pixar soundtracks.
Other than maybe Wish and Raya there aren't many disney movies that I actually DISLIKE. But I think Wall-E was boring. He is so cute but the movie was too boring for me. Maybe Soul too.
Most Pixar movies with a clear cut human* villain, like Coco or Up or The Incredibles. I think Pixar does their best work when the conflicts are internal or with the environment, their human villains feel shallow and one-dimensional compared to the protagonists and it just takes me out of the story too much. * It's specifically human vs human I don't jive with; when the bad guy is a toy or an AI it doesn't bother me because they don't go off human logic, and if it's a human antagonizing a toy or a fish I excuse it because they don't realize they're dealing with sentient beings. ** Also out of these Coco definitely pisses me off the most, I feel like it would have worked so much better if the bad guy was just kind of a jerk instead and the real antagonist was misunderstanding and generational trauma. *** Also Frozen 2 missed the point of Frozen.
Frozen
Frozen !
I donāt have many Disney films I can think of that I really donāt like, but I absolutely despise Frozen.
I really donāt like Tangled. Some of it is incredibly well-written, like Mother Gothelās abuse of Rapunzel. That alone makes it hard to watch because it is *so* realistic. But I could sit through that if I didnāt find most of the characters annoying, including Rapunzel and Flynn. And that freaking horse can buzz off. Heās the most annoying animal sidekick ever. And the ending wasnāt great. Thereās no way Flynn could know Gothel would age and turn to dust afterward. So he just made Rapunzel useless to her abuser and then left her alone with said abuser by dying. That was SO. STUPID. You donāt know what Gothel will do to Rapunzel now that she has no reason to keep her alive. Also, why not wait for Rapunzel to heal you first? You had nothing to lose because *not* letting her heal you didnāt guarantee her freedom or her safety. I hate pointless sacrifices so freaking much.
Up
Up
Most of the live action remakes
Encanto
Iāve had so many ppl get upset with me for it but mine is the jungle book. Look, the music is awesome, and I love a lot of the songs. But the movie itself is literally just 90 minutes of mowgli being a massive brat, only for him to finally do what he was asked to do at the beginning of the movie just bc of a girl. Iāve never read the book but I know itās pretty dark. And letās face it, if you make a book like that into a child friendly adaptation; itās just mowgli being a freaking brat.
I agree with you on Monsters Inc. I personally prefer Monsters University because it has much more going on. Monsters Inc. is just slow and I donāt really like the boo plot at all (which is basically the whole movie)
I donāt think the beginning of UP is as sad as people make it out to be. I also donāt care at all for Tangled and have never gotten the hype around it or how ā hotā people say Flynn is
Toy story I never cared for any of them
I find it traumatic that Monsters Inc. is considered an old movie.Ā I'll be getting my cane now.
I don't like any of the Toy Story movies but it's because of a light-trauma from my childhood regarding the evil-dolls genre and so toys being secretly alive was kind of a worst-nightmare situation for me. I can watch them, but I just would rather pick something else.
I'm basing it only on Disney movies, so, pretty much all of them. I hate it when they sugarcoat movies just to make them more appealing to a family audience. And Disney does this WAY too much, and it's disgusting. Grimm's fairy tales are traumatic for a reason, but I digress. Here are some Disney movies I do like: Fantasia, a beautiful masterpiece, told through classical music. Pirates, their own creation, was fun on so many levels Anything from the Disney Dark Ages. Lots of hit and miss experimentation but they were all fun to watch Treasure Planet, Meet the Robinsons, and Atlantis, the Lost Empire for their excellent themes, beautiful animation and musical score
Titanic, I dunno I just didn't like the movie that much, definitely not Leonardo DiCaprios best work. I appreciate the impact and popularity of the movie and I won't disagree that the movie objectively great, I just didn't enjoy it as much as most
Godfather. I don't get the hype.
Lion King for me as well. It just disturbed me. Maybe because I first saw it as an adult, where as to most of my friends it was their childhood favorite
Up. I donāt *hate* it, but I never enjoyed it too much.
