I love hearing James talk about his favourite movies, you can tell there's such genuine appreciation and love for the films there

You could argue that in The Sleeping Beauty, the Prince and the Princess are just supporting characters, while the actual main characters are the fairies. That's ultimately what the movie is about, isn't it - the power struggle between the fae and how they use the humankind as pawns. I loved getting this new perspective on the story and the film when I read about it once.

The Great Mouse Detective is easily my favorite, it's that kind of movie that I can watch forever. And while it isn't in my top 5, the original Rescuers holds a special place in my heart. It's such an offbeat movie that I feel you either get it or you don't. And if you do get it, then it's a perfectly charming movie you can vibe to, but it also has a more cohesive story structure that isn't as meandering as so many early Disney films. And the main leads are just so charming that I could watch them do anything together.

Great selection James. I don't think there were many I really even disliked but there are the ones that stand out more than others like 101 Dalmatians or the Rescuers. Even ones with a stylized look and characters like Hercules or The Great Mouse Detective. I honestly don't know if I could pick 5 but Im sure most would certainly be in the pre 90's era like your list.

Alice In Wonderland is a masterpiece. Sleeping Beauty has the best animation on the whole, but Alice's character animation has so many layers of polish that I haven't seen in anything else in animation. My favourite Disney film is Lilo & Stitch, with Aladdin and The Rescuers duology close behind.

Mulan is my personal favorite. Mulan isn’t a Mary Sue. The movie shows her growth from a clumsy dreamer to a national hero. The settings are beautiful and haunting, especially the burned village. Shan Yu and the Huns aren’t compelling villains, but they are pretty intimidating. The characters are funny and likeable. The score goes great with the animation. It’s a 10/10 for me. My personal list: 1) Mulan 2) The Princess and the Frog 3) Aladdin 4) The Lion King 5) The Hunchback of Notre Dame

Always loved The Sword in the Stone. It’s one of those films I could probably recite from start to finish, along with The Jungle Book and Robin Hood. Huge part of my childhood.

Sterling Holloway really fit the bill as Winnie The Pooh. The most creepy thing in the Winnie The Pooh movie was the Hufflumps And Whoozles number.

I didn't see The Adventures Of Ichebod & Mister Toad until Turner Classic Movies had aired it.
