What’s your favorite Disney film? GRADE: A
This is my favorite animated feature of all time! I also saw it as a child and was enthralled! I think I have a VHS tape around here somewhere!
Bob, you would love this Blu-ray version. Very crisp! And the Special Features are informative.
I also saw it in re-release as a kid and I sometimes wonder why they don’t give it another theatrical run. I was surprised to see it referenced in Claude Chabrol’s THE CHAMPAGNE MURDERS (1967.)
Dan, I’ll have to check out THE CHAMPAGNE MURDERS.
I remember the movie too – but I found it was too “kitschy”, overly sweet and romantic. The original fairy tale by the Grimm brothers is more brutal, like many of their tales. There also is a German film with real actors that’s quite funny.
A bit OT:
What I found really strange (from wiki):
In 2013, the US Patent and Trademark Office issued a trademark to Disney Enterprises, Inc. for the name “Snow White” that covers all live and recorded movie, television, radio, stage, computer, Internet, news, and photographic entertainment uses, excluding literary works of fiction and nonfiction.
How can that be?
Wolf, Coca-Cola is now trying to get the exclusive product rights to the word “Zero.” Like Disney, it’s all about the money.
It’s definitely a favorite too, along with DUMBO and maybe PINOCCHIO.
Jeff, even though Walt Disney hated it, my favorite Disney film is ALICE IN WONDERLAND.
My favorite was lady & the tramp. My first date movie (with my dad)
Sometime within the last year I saw the biopic on Disney. It was fascinating. I was surprised at how he took the work action, and how close he came to losing the business.
Maggie, Walt Disney took some Big Risks from time to time. For its time LADY AND THE TRAMP was a bold film.
Without a doubt my favorite. Could queen be more evil? Could the dwarfs be more charming? And a dark-haired Snow White amidst so many blondes as princesses was swell.
Patti, you’re right about the Evil Queen. She’s in a class by herself.
This was a little ahead of my time so I only remember it from The Wonderful World of Disney.
Peter Pan and Sleeping Beauty are all-time favorites that I remember from the theaters. I’m with Maggie on Lady and the Tramp and – more recently – The Princess and the Frog. I wanted to live in one of those Walt Disney animated features.
And Fantasia is in a class by itself.
Beth, my younger sisters and brother all loved PETER PAN. It’s an amazing film!
Fantasia, followed by Pinocchio (the 2nd film, after Snow White), then Lady and the Tramp, Adventures of Ichabod and Mr. Toad, Alice in Wonderland, and Song of the South.
Rick, I forgot all about MR. TOAD. Hope you’re feeling better!
Not too much OT:
When I was a boy I had access to a friend of the family’s library – in the afternoon (nt before 3 pm, they would hold a nap ’til then) I was allowed to read but of course couldn’t take those books home.
The husband (grandfather of a girl in my class) had all the Disney cartoons with Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck, Uncle Scrooge etc collected and bound into hardcovers (!) and also the “extras” which were all the specials like Peter Pan, Cinderella, Pinocchio, Jack and the Beanstalk etc
A fantastic collection! Sometimes I wonder what became out of it.
Of course I couldn’t afford to buy those things and my parents would have called me crazy …
Later I got into his paperback (paperbacks had just started in Germany in the 50s) collection of detective novels, some science fiction and one of my favourites as a teenager:
Edgar Wallace’s Africa novels
Are these known in the USA at all?
Wolf, I’ve heard of Edgar Wallace, never read him, and don’t remember Africa novels. I used to see many Wallace novels at library sales and used book stores, but had no customers for them
Wolf, judging from my students, very few of the Millennial Generation read books. They sort of “read” on their devices, but that’s not the same thing.
