| I second everything everyone has said! But it is true that you have to rent these first in case you don't like them:
Atlantis: The Lost Empire (Personally I love it) Alice in Wonderland (I love it but that's a bias since I love the books  )
Treasure Planet (Not great but it's still good) The Great Mouse Detective (I vaguely remember loving this movie as a kid but I need a second go since I barely remember anything cept the animation) Others that are great? Cinderella (This one is a classic and for those who are dreamers it might as well be the mascot movie) Mulan (action! adventure! comedy! what's not to like?) Oliver and Company (if ya like cats and dogs + Billy Joel's music = awesome  )
The Nightmare Before Christmas (it's stop motion animation though so I'm not sure if this is included but it's awesome!) Sleeping Beauty (it's a gorgeous film and it has Maleficent!  )
The Aristocats (I don't know about you but I'm a cat lover. Also, big fan of Wolfgang Reitherman) |

| Okay, you said you haven't seen The Lion King? Definitely get it. It has a lot of hype as one of the best Disney movies ever, but guess what? Most of it is deserved. It's a good story with awesome music and beautiful animation.
Of course, DVDs of The Lion King ARE damn-near impossible to track down, since it came out a few years ago and then went back into the vault. But there are probably some on eBay. |

So, that's why the script is so terrible. They spent all the writer's money on that door and had to find some random dude off the street to write the storyline. |

I don't know why I love the opening sequence to that movie so much, but I do. That song is gorgeous. The Rescuers has some pretty songs in general. And yes, WTF is up with the CGI door? I'm glad someone else noticed that |

| A personal childhood favorite is The Rescuers. Because its made in the transition from the old Walt-era animators and story people to the new batch like Glen and Ron Cements n' John Musker the Studio was slowly heading to the second golden age.
It's shown in the simple but refined animation, beautiful backgrounds that sometimes look more like oil paintings, strong leads, a fine voice cast, cute songs and no CG elements anywhere. On a siderant please ingore, Disney over uses CG in their 2D films. Like in Peacock Princess, the door to class room is CG. What did these modern animators forget how to animate a door by hand? |

Quoted for truth. I can think of a few movies I was impressed with as a kid that I didn't find nearly so great when I was older. |

| Honestly, I'd try to rent as many as I could just to see them all and get a better grasp on them because I know my childhood impressions have changed from now. You might find out you do or don't like more or less from when you were younger | |

The second - seen, the first - haven't seen.
Ohh, I used to watch and rewatch it everyday when I was a kid, I soo loved it...
Do you recommend to buy it? Anyway, thanks! 
I've seen and still remember (besides the ones I mentioned): Bambi, Lady & the Tramp, Sleeping Beauty, 101 Dalmatians, Robin Hood, ... I guess that's it (there are a few others, but either I don't remember much, or I can't judge them relying on my childhood impressions). |

Ah, ok, so I don't have to mention Alice in Wonderland
Everyone has pretty much mentioned the ones I would have said. I'd check out the Emporer's New Groove if you love random comedy or squirrels . I really dig the older hero films like Robin Hood and Peter Pan, but I like those fictional characters in general so that might be a bias talking . I also love Sleeping Beauty and The Great Mouse Detective. And Treasure Planet is my Everyone Didn't Like It But I Did So You Might Want To Rent It First To See movie |

| I have to second Hunchback of Notre Dame and Hercules. Awesome. Freakin'. Films.
I thought Atlantis was cool, but a lot of people think it sucked, soooo...maybe a rental first? Pocahontas is pretty good. As well as the Lion King, but you've probably seen those already. |

Well, I trust more your personal opinion, your impressions. |

| Aye, Lilo and Stitch is good. Lilo's personality gets me every time. XD | |

| It depends...do you want the ones everyone say are the "must sees" or just my personal favorites? It's two different lists |

 Thanks guys, have checked them on my list!
(Oh, Elvis! :melting:) I saw Hercules once, in dubbed version.  I hate dubbed versions! The movie loses a big part of its charm. (another reason to buy them!) |

| Hercules, definitely. It might play fast and loose with the original mythology (which is why I'm not watching it until after my Greek Myth class finals ) but it's still a fun story with good animation and a few good songs. Hades is a great villain, funny but really evil at the same time, and Meg isn't your typical Disney "princess." I'm not too keen on Herc himself, but I don't like any heroes, so don't let that cloud your judgment. Overall, it's one of my favorites.
The DVD gets like no special features at ALL, which is unfortunate, but at least the movie itself is good. |
