<a href="http://youtube.com/watch?v=jtGy2rp1zgA" target="_blank">Gaston Song</a>, it doesn't get manilier than that. No one's neck is incredibly thick as Gaston. No one god damnit!
This has nothing to do with what's on the Disney Channel right now, and everything to do with the Disney movies we grew up with in the 90s. Real Disney movies stopped somewhere around Tarzan, in case you didn't know. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/nerd-fix.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="::nerdy::" border="0" alt="nerd-fix.gif" />
I'll go with <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0103639/" target="_blank">Aladdin</a> because of its lack of political correctness (...who knew "'where they cut off your ear if they don't like your face / it's barbaric, but, hey, it's home" would push the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American-Arab_Anti-Discrimination_Committee" target="_blank">ADC</a>'s buttons...), and because as a rambunctious youngster I enjoyed the <a href="http://youtube.com/watch?v=IPExGPWvleY" target="_blank">One Jump Ahead</a> Aladdin introduction (but what 5 year old English speaker is going to know what the hell a "nom de plume" is?). Although <a href="http://youtube.com/watch?v=YRi20cWMYOM" target="_blank">A Whole New World</a> is probably far more memorable for most people (also comes in numerous quick-searched languages on YouTube... <a href="http://youtube.com/watch?v=_Cu5hllQMYo" target="_blank">Chinese - Cantonese</a>, <a href="http://youtube.com/watch?v=uEl0P9CmCag" target="_blank">Chinese - Mandarin</a>, <a href="http://youtube.com/watch?v=QNLIlauJ6_4" target="_blank">Danish</a>, <a href="http://youtube.com/watch?v=sl7BQnDg7tE" target="_blank">Dutch</a>, <a href="http://youtube.com/watch?v=NMmohDXhA-E" target="_blank">Finnish</a>, <a href="http://youtube.com/watch?v=I2P66ti5j_Q" target="_blank">French</a>, <a href="http://youtube.com/watch?v=8FsGqhbBb8w" target="_blank">German</a>, <a href="http://youtube.com/watch?v=jxcuULKPwb0" target="_blank">Icelandic</a>, <a href="http://youtube.com/watch?v=GJx5q2SowKE" target="_blank">Italian</a>, <a href="http://youtube.com/watch?v=FX9elK4zyGE" target="_blank">Japanese</a>, <a href="http://youtube.com/watch?v=LT04HJcbj6M" target="_blank">Korean</a>, <a href="http://youtube.com/watch?v=TINPobJVFEc" target="_blank">Polish </a>, <a href="http://youtube.com/watch?v=Wl-jD-HpipM" target="_blank">Swedish</a> ... and <a href="http://youtube.com/watch?v=iZY2HlmKPy8" target="_blank">Arabic</a> (behold the irony!) - not counting the 'fandubs' and other weird crap on the interwebs).
I know there were numerous Lion King songs I like when I was young as well, but their titles elude me. Disney's really gone downhill...when's the last time their newer films got a song that was played on the radio? Well, I'm not really sure since I don't listen to the radio, but I'm fairly sure it wasn't recently.
I bet ya'll are bigtime Hanna Montana fans too.... ... .. . <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wow.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":0" border="0" alt="wow.gif" />

No, I did not know that, perhaps you could define a timeline and mention "Movies Only"in your first post. It's a shame actually, to make any reference to Disney's Tarzan, given all the fine films Johnny Weismuller starred in.

Thanks for the update! <img src="http://www.nsmod.org/forums/style_emoticons/default/thumbsup.gif" border="0" alt="IPB Image" />
Basically whenever they started being crap and/or not awesome. Shrug. I remember seeing Aladdin in NYC at a premiere, and it was basically the most amazing thing I had ever watched.. Disney movies haven't really packed such a punch for many years now. That's my personal opinion anyway. For instance, Mulan was such an amazing film for me personally (back then when it came out) because they managed to bag Lea Salonga, AGAIN (after Aladdin)! Super famous Filipina vocalist who performed in Les Miserables and Miss Saigon on Broadway.
I would never ever agree that such recent films as "Brother Bear" and "Chicken Little" are any match for the massive lineup of the 90's.
I totally agree with you as well - Disney movies lost their charm when it became more about the art style than the story. A very well animated 3d project can still suck thanks to the crappy premise of the movie. It's a shame but what can you do.

The most recent one from Disney I have a crush on is "A Whole New World."
Stay Awake is probably my favorite Disney song, and Mary Poppins in general... I read a prominent music critic once say "Let's Go Fly A Kite" is the best waltz evar =p

It's not my fault there was a Hannah Montanah marathon on New Years Day and I had nothing better to do and nothing better to watch...
Did you know her father in the show is her real father?
And that guy is the one who did Achey Breaky Heart?
And they refrence that like fifty times...
And like... there's some other things like that... Like her first name is the same in the show as in reality (not hannah, her non-alter ego).
I couldn't stand that movie, how'd Miyazaki make that bullish?
<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->
which version did you see? the first version (done by new world/orion) was screwy, they renamed it "warriors of the wind" and it blew because they cut out about half of the movie in an attempt to make the humans look less like power hungry ######es. a while ago (2005), disney decided to actually bring the movie over (in its entirety) and preserve the name "Kaze no tani no Naushika" (Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind)

<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->
Yeah beauty and the beast had good songs. I watched a crapload of the oldschool disney movies this summer for the first time in many years and realized that when you listen to the lyrics, theyre really well written. The gaston song is also my favorite. "I use antlers in all of my decorating!" followed closely by that 'prince ali' song from aladdin There's also a ton of stuff you wouldn't understand when you were a kid.
now every single disney animated movie is cg. I guess regular animation wasn't profitable.
I also didn't like the Nausicaa movie. That may have been because I had just finished reading the manga which was far better.
You mean Circle of Life?
