    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.

      Oddly I always felt there was a clear antagonist, but there was not so much a main character as you watch the world unfold. Each piece has there part to play that just so happens to coallese into this wonderful experience. Or I mean we could just Maleficent got gang banged up upon by a whole kingdom at 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.

    The Sword in the Stone was my favorite growing up and looking back, it's still my favorite.
    The donkey-morph scene in Pinnochio freaked me out as a kid (and as an adult), for the same reasons you said. The desperation and if memory serves, he calls for his mama just before his vocals turn into the hee-haws of a donkey. It was a horror scene in the middle of a fantasy movie. They don't make 'em like that anymore.

      Sleeping Beauty definitely took inspiration from the old medieval manuscripts and book artworks of the 900's-1400's. Also, I remember a "making of" this movie years ago and they said the production pushed a couple of animators close to the nut house by the end because it was so labor intense.

    I'm sorry we didn't see the Great Mouse Detective, criminally underrated and forgotten. But, Ichabod Crane is a great sleeper choice. Also, thank you for denoting that favorite and best are two totally different things. I've had these discussions with people in the past. I can recognize something might be technically great, but I don't like it. I might really like something, but recognize it might not be the most popular or technically sound.

I remember being fancied by the alternate/original ending and it’s on RUclips so I recommend watching and tell me what about you think of it. Treasure Planet has a sequel in the form of a game but only Amelia appeared and I don’t remember the name and type of game. Robin Hood barely had anything done to it after the movie, including the characters rarely appearing in the parks. Both should’ve a sequel or at least a cartoon series

    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
