The Emperor's New Groove. I loved it and thought it was hilarious before all the memes

It took me way to long to do this

Surprised that Emperor’s New Groove hasn’t been mentioned

A Goofy Movie

edit: Tevin Campbell is the GOAT🐐🐐

Robin Hood will always be my number 1

Hey! I was bored, so I wrote up this list of my top five favourite Disney films, with reasoning as to why and such. I only narrowed it down to Disney films. So no Pixar and whatnot.

Would love to see what other people’s lists are, and their opinions, etc etc. Spoilers ahead for those who haven’t seen these. Anyways, here’s mine!

1: Lion King. Generic choice, I know. Everyone and their mother likes this movie. But like, it’s the frickin Lion King. Gorgeous animation. AMAZING soundtrack. Fantastic story and characters. I don’t even need to explain myself here. It’s the Lion King.

2: Mary Poppins. People don’t seem to talk about this film, in my experience anyway. It’s honestly one of the best films I’ve ever watched, not just Disney, but in general. As an adaptation it doesn’t do very well, having read the book. The differences are quite vast. But as a film? Oh my gosh! It’s teeming with whimsy, imagination, creativity. The story makes your heart soar and break. (The scene where Mr Banks walks to get fired with that music in the background is brilliantly haunting). Man. I adore this. So so much.

3: Princess and the Frog. I’d like to start off by saying I’ve never really agreed with the: “Movie gets worse when she turns into a frog.” Sentiment. I’ve thought about it, and can’t really see the film without that happening. It’s the cataclysm for Tiana’s character change. And can I just say that Tiana is one of the best written Disney characters, no, characters period I’ve ever seen. Her and Naveen are a perfect couple, because their personalities contrast so well. Naveen needs to learn how to work a little harder, and Tiana needs to learn how to relax a little. This is shown so well when she teaches him how to mince, and he teaches her how to dance. The reason I think the Frog thing works so well is because it’s the perfect environment for our characters change. Naveen is humbled by it, and Tiana is shown a new perspective on it. In an environment where she can’t drown herself in work, and surrounded by characters such as Ray, Louis and Mama Odie, she is given a new outlook on life, inciting the change that she eventually demonstrates in the fantastic scene where Dr Facilier offers her the deal. I also love how it doesn’t completely shoot down her working hard, just speaks to the idea that there’s more to life than just one thing. And the music, omg the music! When We’re Human is my favourite song. Listen to that whenever I’m feeling down. Friends on the Other side doesn’t even need my praise, everyone agrees on that one. Dig a Little Deeper? That choir is like having an ethereal experience. Almost There! Truly inspiring! Louis is my favourite character btw. The Gators a bro. Don’t get me started on Ray… the tears man. The bloody tears. Was gonna mention Lottie too, but I’ll keep it brief. What can I say? She’s spoiled, but such a fantastic friend, and under all that pampering she’s a great person to the people around her. She even tells the guy she rejects that she’s sure loads of other women would love to dance with him, she just doesn’t have the same feelings. Anyway. I’m done now. Moving on.

4: Lilo and Stitch. Bro this film is amazing! For a film that had such a low budget, the animation is truly top tier. (Btw I don’t tell a lie. Disney didn’t believe in this movie, so the creators barely had a budget to work with). Lilo and Stitch have amazing chemistry. The characters are funny, entertaining! Jumba and Pleakley provide a comically well done side plot. Lilo and Nani have such a touching relationship. The Elvis music is a great addition. I can’t say much that hasn’t already been said. Top tier!

5: Zootopia/Tangled. Ok, this is definitely cheating. But I’m sorry, could not put one or the other off the list. To start with Tangled: This is one of, if not the most underrated Disney films ever. No one seems to talk about it. Rapunzel is a fantastic character. I’ve listened to: “When will My Life Begin.” So many times I practically know every word by heart. Mother Gothel is a fantastic villain. Me and a friend watched it recently, and the amount of times we were able to point out her subtle abusive and manipulation tactics were insane. The songs are brilliant, and the setting is gorgeous. The scene where she first leaves the tower gives me chills every time. And Eugene’s sacrifice at the end? Man. That scene hit hard. Zootopia just ticks all the right boxes man. Maybe except the villain? I’ve seen people say they don’t like the Twist villain, but she’s never really bothered me. I wouldn’t say she’s very memorable, but I don’t think the story needed her to be. The focus is on Judy and Nicks friendship. And my gosh, so they have such great chemistry. The mystery is so endearing. Judy as a character is engaging from the start. I remember seeing it in theatres, coming out surprised. I certainly hadn’t expected a buddy cop action flick but my gosh I wasn’t disappointed. The world is interesting, and the commentary is very good as well. I love the song. And the plot is so cleverly thought out. It’s up there man, it’s up there!

That’s all. There were so many others I wanted to put, but these were the best I was able to narrow down for the top five. I contemplated so many times putting Alice in Wonderland, Mulan, Moana, Frozen, Aladdin in too. But while I love these movies, I don’t think I like them enough to put them over the films already in the list. Anyways. That’s me. Opinion might change in the future, but who knows. Glad to hear anyone else’s thoughts! Thanks a lot, and have a great rest of your day!

There's plenty of Users posts asking to list the best 5/ your top 5 favorite Disney movies, but none of them ever discuss why. To celebrate Disney movies I'd love to have an actual discussion along with your list, to share and read why these movies are so special. No Pixar movies, solely Disney animated films. My top 5 are The Little Mermaid, Sleeping Beauty, Beauty and the Beast, Pocohantas and Tangled, and my WHY is posted in the comments. What are your 5 favorites and why do you love them the most?

Edit- I'll explain why The Lion King isn't on my list. It would be my next favorite, #6. I know that it's better than Pocahontas obviously but I personally favor Pocahontas over TLK just marginally enough to come before it.

1. Beauty and The Beast

2. Aladdin

3. Pocahontas

4. The Little Mermaid

5. Tangled

6. Mulan

7. Hercules

8. Tarzan

9. Moana

10. Alice In Wonderland

11. Zootopia

12. Big Hero 6

13. The Lion King

14. Lilo and Stitch

15. Emperor’s New Groove

Poor Chicken Little 😁

here's my top 15, also mixed with Pixar because I can't be arsed to separate them.

I liked Zootopia 2 but I don’t see how a movie that came out in 2025 is a classic.

If you are not familiar with the documentary "The Sweat Box", it's an easy recommend for you. It's a behind the scenes making of The Emperor's New Groove filmed by Sting's wife that's been completely buried by Disney because she managed to capture a total *clusterfuck* of a creative process. Directors leaving the project, actors hired, fired, rehired. Sting wrote six songs for the original movie they were making that got scrapped.

There's a Disney executive that looks like Ned Flanders who is just creatively *ruthless.* At the end of the film he gets asked "what would you have done differently", and he responds "I would've gone harder sooner."

It's a must watch for Disney fans.
