[bowieee]

SNOW WHITE AND THE SEVEN DWARFS

Snow white is my favourite Disney movie of all time.

I just want tosay treause planet really got overlooked which was a shame because it was an extremely good movie and a nic departure by Disney from their usual disnefied fare.

[Nate6]

Well then, this round was over quite fast! Snow White defeated Treasure Planet 11-1 and will move on to the next round.

[A.J. Hakari]

ATLANTIS was cool stuff, but I'm betting FANTASIA is a lot better. Thus, FANTASIA gets my vote.

[Cole666]

FANTASIA, one of my Disney favourites! :)

[Nate6]

With my vote, it's now 5-0 for Fantasia. Keep voting!

[Sugar Magnolia]

The Emperor's New Groove

[bowieee]

THE EMPEROR'S NEW GROOVE


Dumbo seriously traumatized me as a child. I'm not even kidding either. every time I think about it I get the shivers. God I hate the fucking circus.

[A.J. Hakari]

DUMBO

[Nate6]

I'm like bowieee. Dumbo scared me to death as a kid. The Emperor's New Groove isn't great but it's much easier to watch.

[The Claw]

Dumbo

[Ren Hoek]

I'm honestly surprised, Bowieee and Nate. How can you find good ol Dumbo scary? And I know why you don't like the circus, Bowieee: IT! It's not the elephants, it's the clowns that scare you. ;)

Anywhoo, Dumbo (along with The Jungle Book) is my favourite Disney movie and easily gets my vote.

[Tagia_Romero]

Although it made me cry as a wee kiddie, I choose "Dumbo"

[Horror whore]

Dumbo

[Outlaw_x]

damn i wish i voted earlier for fantasia but any ways for this my vote goes 2 Dumbo

[dh1989]

Dumbo, even though the other is one the decent 2D films to be released from Disney in recent times.

[Nate6]

It's currently 7-3 for Dumbo. Do you guys think I should let my best judgement decide when a round should end instead of ending it whenever a film gets 10 votes? Because these rounds are moving very fast...

[Addi88]

THE EMPEROR'S NEW GROOVE

Thw whole scene with the mom locked in the cage reaching out for Dumbo got to me. Let alone those goddam hallucinations and the scary circus people. Oh and ren yes It played on my fear of clowns but I've always been frightened of the evil bastards.

[Ren Hoek]

Haven't seen Make Mine Music, but didn't like Hercules that much... the classic Disney flick gets my vote.

[The Claw]

Make Mine Music because I like the title.

[Nate6]

I actually had a blast watching the fast-paced, gospel-infused Hercules...one of Disney's most different animated films.

[A.J. Hakari]

HERCULES

I vote for what I consider one of Disney's very best - the imminently mature, involving classic Hunchback of Notre Dame.

[The Claw]

Fun And Fancy Free

[XpatrickX]

FUN AND FANCY FREE

[dannywalker17]

Fun and Fancy Free. Hunchback was awful.

This is kinda old news but I can't believe Dumbo beat The Emporer's New Groove. I hated Dumbo, and TENG is one of the best if not the best non-musical animated Disney movie. It has David Spade and Jon Goodman and one of the most hilarious Disney villians ever. Oh well.

I would not get my hopes up if I were you, The Adventures of Ichabod and Mr. Toad is up against Aladdin, one of the most popular and loved Disney pieces. There's hope, but not much, IMHO.
