Well....now that I own them all on DVD I can say I loved

Itchabod and mr toad
Salidos amigos
The three caballeros
Basil the Greta mouse detective
Melody time cause I'm a sucker for Mary Blair's art
I feel princess and the frog doesn't get the love it deserves nor does the most recent pooh movie

Black caldron is such a weird movie but the story behind it is great and I would recommend watching 'waking sleeping beauty' to everyone on here

So glad people like Pete's dragon, during the main street light parade, I always help parents out when their kids point and ask who's that when Elliot comes along, I also wave and shout ELLIOT at him, Pete always seems to love it and wave back.

I've got a few. Robin Hood, Hercules (That one seems to get a lot of dislikes but I enjoy it.), Newsies (It was a flop at the time but it got a cult following later on and a Broadway show not too long ago.) , the Mighty Ducks trilogy and Hunchback of Notre Dame.

How did I forget Hunchback!! Probably because I assume that everyone else loves it as much as I do (which I know is not the case).

I'll second the endorsement for Waking Sleeping Beauty.

I was also reading "Disney War", which is about the evolution of Eisner's career and it starts around the same time as Waking Sleeping Beauty. The beginning was really interesting, but it has kind of lagged in the middle and that was right around the time my Imagineering Field Guides arrived (thanks for the recommendation, Colonel!), so I've put it aside for now.

The Rescuers. Also do all those Disney sing a long movies count? I loved all those so much! Brother Bear is also a good one.

Those sing alongs were great. The Christmas one was really good.

Anybody buy the Disney yule log DVD? It's trippy.

Why buy it? Disney put one on youtube.

I've got that gnome in my garden. It's awesome. (& the Minnie to match)

I'd have to say my favourite obscure Disney movie would have to be Flubber, both versions of it. The remake with Robin Williams and the little green 'flubbers' is the better of the two though. clapping

I agree mrhub - definitely one of my favourites when I was growing up.

I loved the movie That Darn Cat. I remember seeing it when I was maybe 6 or 7 years old.

Here's another one of my 'old' favs - TRON. The original was ground breaking back in the day.

Yeah, also the live action Disney sports movies. They are definitely not represented enough in the parks but most people forget some good sports movies were Disney produced. I enjoyed Remember the Titans, Miracle and the Rookie, to name a few.

Disney doesnt want to pay Amy Adams royalties for merchandise sales.
