Fantasia, Fantasia 2000("Rhapsody in Blue" is one of my favorite contemporary pieces ever, and that rendition of it was magnificent), and, well, I'll let Mr. Chan say it:
When this movie came out for rental, I was currently working for a local video rental store. My coworkers and I would sing along to this song and try to imitate some of the choreography to it such as when they raise the staves in the air and go "Hooah". Yes, my coworkers and I were that awesome. :P
edit: I have a really interesting summer program to show you. There's a film program at Keio high school in new york, a Japanese high school over seas. It teaches you film-making and Japanese language all summer.

Thank you very much Emily, I'll be sure to check it out. But to be honest, I'm starting to have second thoughts about NY Film Academy. Recently, I've set sights on Full Sail in Florida. From what a few I know who have graduated along with the program material I get in my mail (cause I called them), it sounds more up my alley. But who knows, maybe I might end up going to New York?
I know Full Sail is great for game stuff, but I have heard very little about it's film program. Can't tell you much about that. I would say that neither of those will give you a well rounded education, but, like Sheridan up in Canada, they are excellent technical instruction in your chosen field.
I'm surprised that you, a fellow film student as well, don't have any reply back to my analysis? I have a couple questions I'd like to ask you, if you don't mind. Speaking as an animator, do you think Fantasia made a noticeable mark in either the history of film or animation? If you had the authority to do so and you had the right job, what kind of segment would youlike to have seen in it?

I had to write a paper about the effects of fantasia for my comparative directors class. Let me get out my old papers and I could give you a spiel. However, I don't have the time to do that. I only have time to tease you.
5. And my guilty pleasure Hercules one of the last movies that aired on the Disney channel before it became garbage fueling kiddy porn for generations to come.
I want to say Mulan but I can't be sure... I spent about a half hour trying to think of which movie was my favorite, but every time I watch one of them with my little brother, my adult eye sees something funny or insightful that my kid eyes missed when I was younger. I don't think I can really pick one as my favorite until I watch more of them again.
My favorite is The Little Mermaid because mermaids are awesome and the music is great. I used to wish I was a mermaid, but then someone told me I would smell like fish. I also love Sleeping Beauty because of the artwork. The story, not so much. (Except the awesome scary dragon part)
I love Pocahontas because I had a crush on her as a small child, and Mulan for similar reasons. Interestingly, I tend to become infatuated with dark skinned and Asian women more often then not. Disregarding that, though, I'd have to go with Mulan. I haven't watched any older Disney movies in a while, though, so this opinion is subject to change.
The Emperor's New Groove is awesome. I also particularly like Lilo and Stitch, Mulan, The Lion King, The Little Mermaid, The Sword in the Stone, Pinocchio, and Fantasia.
The Lion King and Aladdin are both very good, and I guess I'd call them my favorites. Wasn't there a Miyazaki/Studio Ghibli film that Disney played some part in, though?

ummmm.....they dubbed them all? It's kinda common knowledge amongst millions of people....
I personally like Aladdin and Beauty and the Beast. They were my favorite growing up. However I'm surprised at how many people like the Black Cauldron, that movie put me to sleep.

Oh... Wow, I feel stupid. Sorry! Still, I guess they don't count as Disney movies then.
Sorry if I made you feel that way...I was just kinda surprised, that's all.
Regarding another answer to the question at the hand: lately I've been going back and watching a lot of these films and I've forgotten how well crafted they are. In particular, I really enjoyed Alice in Wonderland as I think it really had a lot going for it...whether or not Tim Burton's adaption of it will meet Carroll's source material remains to be seen. In all honesty, I don't think it will because Carroll's literary mechanisms are far to complicated to adapt to a general audience, therefore making a truly faithful film version of the Alice series unfilmable. However it is nice to see filmmakers try to rise to the challenge, and some have done quite well for themselves. A person I would like to see to make an adaption would be Terry Gilliam as I think his surrealistic style of filming is perfect for something like that.
Alice in Wonderland and Peter Pan scared the fuck out of me as a kid.
How do you feel about the now, or have you not gone back and rewatched them now as an adult?
I'm surprised at how many people like the Black Cauldron, that movie put me to sleep.
The real problem I have with that movie is that it took a well-written series of fantasy novels (The Chronicles of Prydain by Lloyd Alexander to be exact) and they pretty much just put them in a blender and messed everything up by having events from all five novels happen at once, which I assume might possibly be the cause of your boredom. Another thing is that they left out very important characters that are crucial to the plot of the story (examples include Prince Gwydion and Death-Lord Arawn) which begs the question as to why Disney did this? I'm not asking for a perfect adaption (as such a thing for any book is impossible), I only ask that they be respectful of the source material.

Toy Story is the only one that i like all others suck balls.

If The Nightmare Before Chrismas counts, it's definitely up there as well.
