Mulan, with The Lion King being a close second.

Mulan is the one of those which I re-watch the most, followed by Aladdin. (Robin Williams is a funny man.)

Hercules had it's moments (like Hades and the muses), but given that it really has absolutely nothing to do with the actual legend of Hercules other than some of the names used, I just can't bring myself to acknowledge its existence. (Hera is rolling in her metaphorical grave over this version of the story.) 🤣

(Yes, I'm a purist of Greek mythology, I can't help it.)

Someone who feels the same way! I just can't bring myself to watch it anymore because every time I do I get fustrated with it's inaccuracy. I mean I know it's Disney and therefore not entirely accurate but Hercules is just not even remotely close.

I've answered this question so many time that I got my answer down pat in an instant

My Top 3 goes:
Aladdin
Lion King
The Little Mermaid

I could easily write a thesis on why Iike each one but for now that how the list goes.

I prefer the classics to these options, but given the topic, I chose The Lion King, it's just an enjoyable movie. Alladin is a close second though, because it's hysterical.

From the list:
The Hunchback of Notredame.
I loved it when I was younger... I remember loving the songs...
It was really moving... Although my father broke the fairy tale-ish feeling a little, when he told me how the book truely ended. I wonder how old was I... 8 or 9...

The lion king was one of my first childhood movies, but I don't remeber it much... I remember liking it, and that's it.
Mulan was really good...

I'd like to add that Disney can't do sequells.

Agreed. Granted, I never saw it when I was younger but saw it years ago and was utterly disappointed with all its inaccuracy.

But from this list I'll go with The Lion King. Never saw the sequels but the first will do from what I've heard. I also saw the musical and it was one of the best I've seen.

Mulan, definitely - I think it's the only Disney movie I own. As has been stated before, the music is great, and the plot is awesome. Mulan herself kicks major butt - finally, a Disney girl who can do something! And I love Shang who, unlike most Disney male leads, actually seems to have some faults - of course, we all adore him anyway. But my favorite character was Mushu - funniest sidekick EVER, voiced by the always-hysterical Eddy Murphy. And, of course, it helps that the whole movie was set in China, which is close to Japan =P

Coming in second would have to be Aladdin - another movie with a great soundtrack (Prince Ali is on my iPod =P), and equally fantastic characters. Jafar made for a great villain, and the comic relief team of Genie, Carpet, and Abu made me seriously LOL. And, of course, I loved Jasmine - another heroine who actually tries to do something - perhaps she's not quite as awesome as Mulan, though, since she only wanted to chose who she would marry, not save her country xD. And Aladdin himself is, like Shang, another of the small number of Disney 'princes' who actually seems somewhat human.

In third place, I guess it has to be The Little Mermaid. While Prince Eric annoyed me with his flawlessness - and then let himself be hypnotized by the villain into marrying her! What happened to love conquers all? - I really liked Ariel. Another Disney girl who actually took some action to get her prince. I mean, she basically sold her soul - and her voice - to the devil, just so she could be with the one she loved. Now that takes some guts.

Hmm...in fourth, I think it's Beauty and the Beast (again, loved the songs), then the Lion King (maybe this would be ranked higher if the last time I'd seen it hadn't been several years ago), and after that Tarzan (I always thought Terk was a boy, but apparently she's female O-o), and I guess Pocahontas would be seventh (the entire movie was ruined for me when I realized it was a real story, and that the stupid sequel was true - she went all the way to England, just to marry someone else T-T). Hercules and The Hunchback of Notredame I can't really rank, since I've never seen them ^^;;.

For me, It has to be The Lion King, followed the Little Mermaid and then Pocahontas. Mulan started out very good, but seemed to fade out as the movie went from semi serious to comedic. I can vaguely recall The Hunchback of Notre Dame, but probs to Disney for it being a dark one after a slew of bright and sunny movies
