So, we're all in agreement about Aladdin being the best animated Disney Movie, right?

Fantasia, the first one, and it's not even close. Okay, Alice in Wonderland comes close, but it still loses.
The two of you should really check out the stage musical adaptation of Hunchback. It does what you want, and adds some really amazing songs. Such a shame the live-action movie isn't going to be based on it.
Yeah it was my favorite too and I still love it. It's not the best though.
I'm general the story itself is a little too thin. Never been a Lion King person per se, but I recognize a much meatier story.
All that being said I actually prefer the Disney Studio animation run of Moana, BH6, Zootopia ect... over the 90s class.
It's amazing how good The Lion King is when you consider the fact that the movie doesn't have a second act. It just goes straight from the first act to the third. I was really hoping the remake would add a second act to the movie but it sounds like that POS couldn't even do that.
Aladdin is definitely up there for me.
I'm watching the live action version on Disney+ and it really just makes me want to watch the original instead.
Aladdin, Beauty and the Beast, and Mulan were my favorites growing up. I'd probably add Tangled, Zootopia, and Moana to my favorites these days.

My response was not necessary since we're all in agreement that Aladdin is the best
For the 2D animated movies YES 1000%
My personal collection maybe you can tell I like it :P. (also have all 3 movies on VHS but those are in storage)
For the 3D/CG its Tangled.
I can't believe I wasn't the first to say Lilo and stitch..... I mean not when...... Leroy and stitch exists! There we go, I'm original
I never considered Alladin in the top 5, probably not even top 10, but Robin Williams is so damn good in that movie.
I can't fully agree I think emperor's new groove is better but I do agree animated movie feels Soo much more about the genie than Aladdin that I think I enjoyed the live action one more
Probably the best live action remake Disney made so far last decade.
Whole new world and Arabian nights hit sooo hard in the right places ;d

Actually discovered it last month, which is why I said most of those things. I knew 90s Disney revival musicals were on a whole nother level, but Notre Dame really went above and beyond in what it set out to do. A 7 minute Bells of Notre Dame that tells a much deeper story is something I never knew I wanted, holy fuck is it so good.
A movie on this level would be perfect.
The first third of Mulan is my favorite part. I don't think you can get away with being a Renaissance movie with that lame-o of a villain though.
I'm conflicted on Aladdin. Robin Williams is perfect but I'm not really a fan of the anachronistic jokes. Well, the jokes all work but I want the writing to succeed on its own.
Beauty and the Beast really grew on me in the last couple years.

Atlantis: The Lost Empire is by far the best in Disney's library. Too bad most of you guys are sleeping on it.
I rewatched both Aladdin and Hercules recently on D+. Aladdin really did not hold up well for me besides the songs and the voice acting. I felt Hurcules was the much better movie. I would say right now my favorite would be Mulan, but I need to rewatch that as well. If Mulan fails to hold up like Aladdin, I would probably say Lion King is the best. Also, Princess and the Frog is extremely underrated IMO.
The Hunchback of Notre Dame is by far the best animated feature that Disney has ever put out.
Only film that maybe, MAYBE, comes close would be Fantasia.

I personally really liked Shan Yu as a villain. He and the Huns were far more threatening without any exposition or cheesy musical number. I also really liked how the final musical number gets cut short when the heroes are suddenly faced with the realities of war.
