BradyBzLyn...Mo 2,023 Posted July 28, 2015 Report Share Posted July 28, 2015 With thanks to Yvonne for finding this, I'm sure the Fiends will have some opinions on this one. Full article with video is here...http://www.eonline.com/news/680471/greatest-animated-disney-movie-of-all-time-and-the-winner-is Greatest Animated Disney Movie of All Time: And the Winner Is...by Jenna Mullins Mon., Jul. 27, 2015 12:59 PM PDT Disney Ladies, gentlemen, children, animals, babies, robot overlords, aliens, ghosts…we finally have the winner of our Greatest Animated Disney Film of All Time tournament. After five rounds and thousands upon thousands of votes, it's all over! The fans have spoken and only one Disney movie remains. In the final round, The Lion King went head to head with The Little Mermaid, basically turning the final voting into a '90s nostalgia face-off. And it was bloody. Well, as bloody as an Internet poll can get. The winner of our Disney competition won by less than 1,000 clicks and got just 54% of the votes. Told you it was a squeaker. Ready to find out which one has been crowned the Greatest Animated Disney Film of All Time? The answer is but a scroll away, past some random Disney GIFs… giphy.com Disney Disney The winner is...The Lion King! Disney Simba and his journey from lion cub to king of Pride Rock beat out Ariel's destiny to be a human and is the Greatest Disney Movie of all time, according to the fans. The Lion King had to not only take down The Little Mermaid, but it also had to get past movies like Toy Story and Beauty and the Beast. It was no easy feat to get to the top, but The Lion King did it. To honor this victory, we wanted to share with you Rolling Stone's original review of The Lion King when it came out in theaters back in 1994. We're not surprised by The Lion King coming out as the winner, and we think the review explains why it will always be a cherished film by all: "It's a hugely entertaining blend of music, fun and eye-popping thrills, though it doesn't lack for heart. The father-son relationship is movingly rendered...Let's also lionize the visual miracles by 600 Disney artisans, who bring the African landscape to stunning life from a raindrop falling gently on a leaf to a spectacular stampede of wildebeests. It's this kind of animation artistry that raises The Lion King above the level of superior kid stuff and into the realm of a royal treat." Now press play below and celebrate The Lion King's big win by dancing around and singing in your office/room/classroom/wherever you are until you really start to scare people away: Find out why Simba was named one of our top 9 best movie animals of all time!

rtguy007 74 Posted July 28, 2015 Report Share Posted July 28, 2015 Doesn't surprise me. Hated the lion king. I personally think the little mermaid and beauty and the beast were better. I would have taken a few others over the lion king. Link to post Share on other sites
keith_h 420 Posted July 28, 2015 Report Share Posted July 28, 2015 Has to be a generational thing as I don't think much of Disney's 80's or 90's animated features. While I don't consider them bad I think they lost a lot of their Disney feel after the 1970's. Link to post Share on other sites

While I don't consider them bad I think they lost a lot of their Disney feel after the 1970's.The whippersnappers don't appreciate the color, depth, and time it took to make the classics. They get antsy if it takes 6 months to make a full length animated film now a days. All of the "newer" films just don't have the same look and feel as the oldies did. And I think Aladdin was a much better film from that time frame, and Tangled and Brave are two of the best recent ones. Link to post Share on other sites

Just remembered Meet The Robinsons as well. It was a good one. I think my favorite 70s Disney has to be Robin Hood. Hey at least they didn't say it was one of the early 2000s animated features like Brother Bear or The Emporers New Groove. Link to post Share on other sites

Prince John sucking his thumb and trying to beat Sir Hiss with the 2x4 was the funniest scene to me. Any time he would suck his thumb and hold his ear always had me cracking up.
