Disney had some kick ass old school movies, way better than their recent movies. The artwork and scenery used to be so amazing. I just watched bambi and i'd forgotten how well the old backgrounds (oil paintings?) worked along with the classical soundtracks.



fuck

also, being an animal must be like tripping your whole life.

Bambi was probably the first movie i saw where anyone died. Was pretty scary and traumatic at the time, i look back and realize all the other environmental shit going on. This was pretty baller for the 40s. good thing we listened and didn't hunt all the tigers and shit

7/4/2008 11:08:28 PM

I think artistically, Sleeping Beauty was their best film.

7/4/2008 11:13:38 PM

sleeping beauty is my FAVORITE. i like when the little fairy things have a fight and turn things blue and pink.

i also had to fast forward through the dragon part when i was little. it was a little too much for me to handle.

7/4/2008 11:16:58 PM

What would be their best recent movie (2-d)?

The Lion King? I liked Hercules and Emperor's New Groove, but no one else seemed to.

7/4/2008 11:17:30 PM

oh god i LOVE the emperor's new groove. i forgot about that one. that one is just silly though.

didn't the stampede in lion king take like forever to draw.

Don't forget Mulan!

7/4/2008 11:20:06 PM

I've seen the lion king 42 times.

I would watch it at least once a week when i was in like 2nd or 3rd grade. Had the whole movie memorized.

Alice and wonderland was a pretty incredible movie.
I haven't seen fantasia and the other one like that (forget what its called). Is fantasia the one about russia or something? i could be getting the names of them mixed up.


i haven't seen sleeping beauty since i was very young.

7/4/2008 11:23:40 PM

no fantasia isn't about russia.

that is anastasia and i don't think that was disney.

but alice in wonderland is awesome.

Anastasia.

7/4/2008 11:24:27 PM

Anastasia wasn't even Disney! It was 20th Century Fox!

7/4/2008 11:26:12 PM

robin hood is maybe my all time favorite

no wait, sword in the stone.

and also jungle book

7/4/2008 11:28:02 PM

7/4/2008 11:28:35 PM

whats fantasia about?

[Edited on July 4, 2008 at 11:32 PM. Reason : .]

7/4/2008 11:31:25 PM

fantasia is a bunch of short films set to famous classical pieces, mainly to show off animation prowess.

7/4/2008 11:31:41 PM

Sword in the Stone
Bedknobs and Broomsticks
Robin Hood
Alice in Wonderland
Sleeping Beauty


my top 5 i think

[Edited on July 4, 2008 at 11:41 PM. Reason : oh! and The Little Mermaid...<3]

is this really the top thread in chit chat right now?

7/4/2008 11:35:14 PM

Agreed. the digitally remastered versions are awesome. I love the little mermaid.

but if you want some funky movies that really are detailed any movies by Hayao Miyazaki really blow disney out of the water.

is crazy as fuck.

i've seen but i can't remember where or what it was about.

[Edited on July 4, 2008 at 11:39 PM. Reason : Oh nvm. gg he did princess mononoke the best animated film ever.]

[Edited on July 4, 2008 at 11:40 PM. Reason : AND spirited away.]

7/4/2008 11:39:03 PM

howl's moving castle, etc are good

but fantasia, snow white, sleeping beauty, bambi etc etc are still pretty amazing for their time

[Edited on July 4, 2008 at 11:40 PM. Reason : and timelessness i suppose]

7/4/2008 11:39:56 PM

True.

7/4/2008 11:39:57 PM

so its bad that i've never seen Akira or Ghost in the shell all the way through right?

7/4/2008 11:42:45 PM

The Little Mermaid used to be my favorite movie. [no homo]

Aladdin and The Lion King are good too. Fantasia is still the bomb. It's especially awesome when you're high though.

7/4/2008 11:48:09 PM

Holy shit, Peter and the Wolf was Disney!

TroopofEchos sent me a link to this awesome 3d version. She's the resident expert on hand drawn animation.

7/4/2008 11:50:03 PM

okay question:

Can anyone help me find out who did the scores for Bambi, not like the songs but some animation led classical things for example when the forest is on fire or when they're running from the hunter theres some choral music in the background that's pretty kick ass.

i checked IMBD and Wikipedia but i wasn't really sure what to look for, and i only found some soundtracks for the songs with words.

fuck the songs with lyrics
why doesn't anyone have the full scores :'(

okay this song is the best one in the movie but listen to how sick the background choral stuff is without the lead vocals.

7/5/2008 12:14:11 AM

Pixar and Studio Ghibli are the only studios who are carrying on Disney's old school dedication to quality and imagination.

Maybe the reverse takeover of Disney by Pixar might bring Disney back in a few years, but it looks like Disney still has some terrible stuff coming down the pipeline.

[Edited on July 5, 2008 at 12:17 AM. Reason : i do hope the musical format stays dead, though!]

7/5/2008 12:16:44 AM

this is a better example of the type of stuff i'm trying to find.
its really hard for me to get into classical music for just the sake of classical music, much more accessible when i know its linked to some other artform or some type of expression.

im raiding the kids section next time i go to the video store

i haven't done it, but I'm willing to bet my neighbor totoro is the best movie ever to watch while doped up on percocet

7/5/2008 2:06:55 AM

how did Miyazaki movies get in a Disney thread? they're distributed by Disney, but they weren't made by the company (other than the english dubs)
