The maximum number of poll options allowed by SHH software is 40, so I list as options the top-40 films according to Buzzfeed.

I have only seen Pinocchio, Beauty and the Beast, Aladdin, The Lion King, Hercules, Tarzan, Mulan and Frozen. I think I go with Pinocchio.

Aladdin has always been my favourite. Lost count of how many times i saw the first one when I was a kid.

1. Bambi
2. Fantasia
3. Pinocchio
4. Lady and the Tramp
5. Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs
6. Sleeping Beauty
7. Beauty and the Beast
8. Dumbo
9. The Hunchback of Notre Dame
10. The Adventures of Ichabod and Mr. Toad

Fantasia is really more of a 1A than a 2. It is gorgeous and maybe the most rewatchable Disney film. I never get tired of watching it. But Bambi just wrecks me at an emotional level.

I find it interesting that my top 3 choices were all flops at the box office.

World War 2 had a lot to do with it.

That is a very tough decision. Disney has done so many great animated movies. And even their less successful/critically acclaimed have amazing artwork and animation.

For the classic 2D style of animation, I really have to go with Beauty & The Beast. Not only is it a classic fairy tale, but Belle is one of the few strong female protagonists Disney has ever written. She doesn't just wait around for a "knight in shining armor" to rescue her. And there's no "love at first sight" to the plot. Belle is strong and intelligent, and she and Beast actually have to work at their relationship. It's not just "the prince hears her singing, gets one look at her, and she's automatically his one true love" like in Sleeping Beauty and Snow White (which could be a very harmful message to teach young girls).

Aladdin and The Little Mermaid are tied in second place for similar reasons. The protagonists are teenagers, and thus it can be somewhat forgivable that they'd be so romantically impulsive. But rather than immediately marrying someone that they had just met "because it was love at first sight" they set out to pursue them and win them over, which takes up a fair portion of the movie. Making Jasmine and Ariel slightly better role models for young girls. Better than Aurora and Snow White at least, but not as good as Belle.

Those are my top three picks for the 2D style animated movies. I'll have to think some more on the 3D CG animated movies, but Frozen will most certainly be in the top three, if not number one.

Lion King, Frozen, and Beauty and the Beast tied for the lead -- not surprised !

And that's a shame. Frozen is as overrated as they come. Its on the same level as Bolt and Meet the Robinsons for me, but hey, people like the music so...

This poll is missing Dumbo (my favourite of the films actually made under Walt's supervision), unless my eyes deceive me.

I picked The Little Mermaid, Beauty and the Beast, The Lion King (those three plus Aladdin are the greatest creative streak in the studio's history, in my opinion), Mulan and Wreck-It Ralph.

Yeah, you're right. It isn't there. That's a pretty big omission.

I prefer the ones with no or very little singing in them. Modern movies like Wreck-It Ralph and Big Hero 6. Of the classic ones I'd take something like Pinocchio over princess-movies like Snow White. Story-wise many of the old movies just feels outdated; not particularly interesting characters in those. Princesses dreaming about some prince. Yawn.
