I have to admit...I loved the soundtrack to the Jungle Book.

A lot of Disney music is truly top tier. In the 30s through the 50s a lot of the music was done by Frank Churchill and Oscar Wallace, who were geniuses.

Jungle Book is the work of the Sherman brothers who have also done the music for Mary Poppins, Parent Trap, Bedknobs and Broomsticks and other classics.

I'm a bit of a Disney buff.

The Little Mermaid has an awfully condescending sexist message though. Definitely among the worst disney films.

Ever heard of the band Blonde Redhead?

Nope. I'm naturally blonde headed. I have made a pact with myself I shall never be a red head.

WTF

I agree that it has a rather confusing message because the Disneyfied ending does twist the meaning of the original story which was a lot more tragic.

But one of the worst Disney films? Absolutely not. It has a comeplling story, great animation, some fantastic songs and some memorable characters including one of the best villians ever.

I will have to be honest. Thinking back now...I can see the sexist message. I usually don't pick up on them very well. I have very old fashioned female values.

The movie to me is still great though. Very beautiful. But..haha..to be honest again.... I have to admit.. The red hair wins it for me. lol

Aw, this is tough.
A lot of them I haven't seen since I was 12-and-under, so I can't really say ... when it comes to the animation, though, I've got to say Lady & the Tramp. That was a really beautiful movie to watch compared with some. For music, I'm fond of The Lion King but I'm sure there are others.

I'm going to say that Aladdin (great soundtrack imo), Howl's Moving Castle (if you count that one since it's a fairly new addition), Hercules (another amazing soundtrack), The Lion King (obviously), and The Aristocats. That's really what I'd say are by far the best ones, in my opinion of course.

I used to absolutely LOVE The Aristocats when I was maybe 8 years old, but I didn't own it so I'd make my friend watch it whenever I visited her.
