I love Disney, and I love classic animation. So here we go =].

The Little Mermaid
Hercules
Atlantis
Treasure Planet
Tarzan

I'm a sucker for old Disney films... My list would probably be more like:

Snow White
Fantasia
Sleeping Beauty
Peter Pan
Aladdin

The Little Mermaid
Aladdin
Peter Pan
Lady and the Tramp
Aristocrats

Bambi
Dumbo
Finding Nemo
Snow White
Lady and the Tramp

1.) Jungle Book
2.) Snow White
3.) Aladdin
4.) Beauty & the Beast
5.) Cinderella

You can stop the presses with "Fantasia."

I'm cheating a little bit here, all of the above, plus Miyazaki's Spirited Away (distributed in America by Walt Disney Studios).

I loved "Spirited Away."

But when you consider that "Fantasia" was released in 1942, it deserves its rightful place in cinema history.

I was aiming more towards the classic pure 2-D Disney animations, but if you liked some of the Disney/Pixar films better, that's cool =].

1. Snow White (only for the Queen's character)
2. Sleeping Beauty
3. Alice in Wonderland
4. Cinderella
5. Aladdin

The number one movie for me is Snow White, since that Queen had tons of stage presence, and was even beautiful as she was ugly at heart. That's totally complex character, and the movie did not reveal why, but there were deep issues within her. I would love to see a movie called "The Queen", if it was made in 1940-45, but it didn't happen. If it was based on her life, and how she grew up. It would probably be such an intense movie that it would be rated PG 13, or something, since there's like a lot of depth in her, and lot of pain. It's like she's afraid of aging, and desire to be the most beautiful, she represents the fact that beauty will age, and age will overcome beauty. Too me she was troubled character, since I wonder why she is like this now? Has she been hurt during her youth, but men treated her like she was an object, for being so beautiful, and that was the only love she ever had? And now the love she used to have was fading away, with age, and she didn't want to die ugly and alone without love. She also had the exoticism appeal before it was even popular, since her face resembles latina like Ana Barbara. Snow White wasn't really competition, but the mirror like Snow White more because she was young. It's somewhat sad to realize that, but it's true, youth and ordinary beauty (16-18) will be stronger than older (30's-early 40's) and outstanding beauty. The Queen also loved herself so deeply, that she couldn't handle being second place, since beauty was the only thing that made her really special in her mind, and all these years she was the most beautiful. Beauty is what made her a queen, and now that will decrease her status since there's a new princess in town. It's also a reminder that she will die soon before Snow White, and will be a faded memory, and Snow White will be the new queen, and be the love of the world. There's something so deeply terrible with her personality, to even think of killing another, for the sake of beauty, but that was not reveal, and I think that is where the power of Snow White lies.

Snow White is truly a story of a fading beauty, who lived a tragic and disturbing life, that she fears being unloved again, since without beauty she is nothing, and not even a queen. Snow White was truly more beautiful than her, since inside she was beautiful, and youth made her prettier than the queen. But only through a troubled past had the Queen's heart became cold and ugly, and disturbed. It's weird because she always needed to be confirmed she was the most beautiful, everyday of her life, and now it is gone... the only thing that made her special.. and the hope to find a man who will love her is gone too...

Snow White lived the peaceful, but hard life the Queen forced her through. Even though Snow White is still innocent and happy she wins the man, but if only Snow White showed loved to the Queen as a real daughter (rather then the happy but uncaring stepdaughter) than there might be a whole complete different movie here, a whole different Queen... a whole different Disney. If Snow White show love to everyone, and make everyone love her, then the Queen was deeply disturbed to not feel love (something horrible happen to her thus), but still I did not seen Snow White trying to make a connection, and if she tried before she became beautiful than everything would be different. If Snow White went up front to the Queen, and hugged her and cried to her after staying a while with the dwarfs, and was braved enough to go upfront to the Queen and told her that mirror was dumb. And if she went to the mirror and threw the mirror on the floor, and told her that she the Queen will always be beautiful, no matter what. That would made Snow White so much more deeper and loving.. The whole Disney empire would be a different.

That is the power of the Queen. Her actions were disturbingly ugly, but her being was so painfully hurt and totally broken inside that she was insane to keep the one thing she had. The true villain is the one who done this to the queen... who could had made her so depress and evil to make her crazy? Who gave her the mirror? And why is she practicing black magic? Who is that skeleton on the bottom floor, the one she kicks with pure joy? Is that the one who made her insane, is that the true villain of Snow White?

Did the Queen picked up black magic, and killed the one who hurted her so terribly, and that is why she can easily killed Snow White, that now she is cold at heart? What kind of wicked things could had happened to the Queen, that made her into only a possessed and evil object of beauty? Did she find that mirror somewhere evil and dark, where was the mirror found, since it has flames in the background it represents hell?

The true villain is the one who hurt the Queen so ugly that now she is a deformed figure of a human being. And the Queen can never recover from the hate and evilness of this person, which must had been tremendously hideous. There is no forgiving the Queen's ugly deeds, since it was ugly, but it just shows that there's something so deep within her that she never revealed...

Lol, I didn't realize I wrote so much.

Damn girl, you can write =].

"The Queen" was a real project in the works? That would have made an interesting story. Kind of like how Broadway's "Wicked" is the story of the witches from The Wizard of Oz.
