I hope you like Disney films!

The Little Mermaid is my favorite Disney movie, and Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs and Beauty and the Beast are other favorites of mine (I think that all of them have very cute love stories).

Disney's Adventures of the Gummi Bears is great, too; it's a series, but I like it as much as any Disney film!

now that's off-topic.

my favorite disney movie is of course tron but i also like beauty and the beast, and flight of the navigator.

the best disney tv show was obviously ducktales. darkwing duck is a distant second.

Fantasia was good. The Black Cauldron was also pretty cool at the time and doesn't get a lot of press nowadays. I'm not too down with the 'new-school' (ie, Little Mermaid & up) Disney movies, however.

Thanks to Adriana Caselotti's voice and the beautiful and painstaking art direction, I'm going to have to say that Snow White was Disney's animated magnum opus. I'm also partial to the Sword in the Stone.

Outside of animation, Tron is very special to me. Kevin Flynn was one of my childhood heroes, and probably my first inspiration to want to pursue a career in game programming.

I'd have to agree that Disney's 1982 film of Tron was ground breaking as no camera had ever ventured forth into CGI animation before it. The famous Light Cycle scene is one of the best scenes -- still looks razor sharp now as it did back in '82...

Bally Midway's Tron arcade game and it's four different games was considered cool for it's time -- plus the cool backlight effect that made as if your shirt was glowing (assuming if you were wearing a white T-Shirt, of course) was priceless back in the day... ^_~

As a kid my favorite was Aladdin. I watched the VHS so many times I could recite the lines with the video.

My favorite line from the movie right now:
Jafar: "Still ALIVE?? How many times do I have to kill you, BOY?!?!"

Makes me lul.

An underwater shmup, featuring characters from The Little Mermaid, would be the neatest game ever! =O

With Ariel shooting air bubbles from her nipples. Or maybe clam shells pop off her breasts like fans from Mai Shiranui's hands.

I loved John Barry's score (turns out he did On Her Majesty's Secret Service too) as a kid, and during the planning phase of a local fun spot for kids I wanted them to name it after the movie and project the twisting vortex vector animation on a wall, haha :D

That said, Fantasia is great, Seven Dwarfs as well...

Shouts out to: Bambi (obvious), Sleeping Beauty (woo new artstyle! Freaky look too!), Cinderella, Aladdin (more great effects here...and I can forgive it for the fact Gilbert Gottfried is still around and didn't suffer some sort of unforseen mishap during recording), The Great Mouse Detective, DuckTales the Movie: Treasure of the Lost Lamp (there are some great early semi-CGI scenes in here), and...er, something else I forgot.

Edit: The Sword and the Stone...still forgetting which one I wanted to add.

Black Cauldron I haven't seen (same as Dark Crystal, although that's Henson's).

Good lord...I can't believe I'm mentioning this...but...

Try "The Little Mermaid" on NES. It's not a shmup...more a free-floating action game...but you shoot bubbles...at stuff...

I only know this because my woman plays it on her phone through an emulator.

Can I die now?

Little mermaid was a great film- i believe it was one of the last proper 'hand drawn' Disney Cartoons.

The work that must have gone into those early cartoon was incredible.

hey 100 posts!!

The Black Cauldron has always been my favourite. Certainly the darkest Disney movie ever.

The little Mermaid would have been great if they had kept the original ending.

I remember, in my junior-high English class, when I had a quiz on Macbeth, I incorporated some Gargoyles plot points into my answers to make it more interesting

There was some great stuff in that series, like the episode with the cream pie bazooka.

I'm pretty sure there's a version for Master System and Mega Drive that plays just like that too.

Played it to death when I was a kid, lol.

The Black Cauldron is like the very vaguest, earliest memory in my mind... I feel like watching it now just due to that.

As for ones I can remember, I've always had a liking for The Sword In The Stone. There's a wonderful craftsmanship in those older, less glossy ones that I pick up from virtually every frame.

Yeah, I love that one too. I actually made a post not too long ago referencing the evil witch from Sword in the Stone.

Don't think I've seen The Black Cauldron… My favorite movie was perhaps The Lion King. Aladdin was pretty good, too.

Out of their live-action movies… The Black Hole was pretty memorable. And Tron, of course, is classic. :)

As for the shows, Duck Tales and Rescue Rangers were my favorites, I think. It's rather hard to think of it now, many years after I've stopped watching any of them.

The Black Cauldron came out on the silver screen back in 1985... ^_~

Jim Henson's the Dark Crystal came out in 1982...was Henson's only fanasty epic film to ever be filmed, btw...

My vote goes to 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea. A beautiful and captivating adaption of a great novel. Also: Peter Ellenshaw at his best.

Lilo and Stitch is one of my favorites because it's not pretentious, and a breath of fresh air into the tiresome "Let's make a musical featuring talking animals" formula they stuck to in a long time.

No need to defend yourself

Twas a great game! Up to par w/ Rescue Rangers, as I recall. I remember renting it w/ a friend when I was younger and really enjoying it.
