Classic Disney Article: My Disney Alternatives

posted by juniper427

We've all seen those Disney favorites a thousand time. But were do you look when you want something different but still animated the way you like it? I've made a list of traditionally animated movies created by my four favorite Disney alternatives as well as a few of my favorites that don't fit into those sections.

Dreamworks is known primarily for it's CGI movies such as Shrek but it's traditionally animated movie are not to be overlooked.

Dreamworks
The Prince of Egypt
Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron
The Road to El Dorado
Sinbad: Legend of the Seven Seas
Joseph: King of Dreams*

Don Bluth was one a member of the Disney team, directing animated classic such as The Rescuers and Pete's Dragon. He parted ways with Disney to create his own unique style of animation.

Don Bluth
The Land Before Time
An American Tail
All Dogs Go to Heaven
Titan A.E.
Anastasia
Thumbelina
A Troll in Central Park
Secret of NIHM

Warner Brothers has always lived in the shadow of Disney when it comes to feature films but that doesn't mean they can't roll out a classic every now and then.

Warner Brothers
The Iron Giant
Quest for Camelot
Osmosis Jones
The King and I
Cats Don't Dance
The Hobbit

Hayao Miyazaki is know as the "Japanese Walt Disney" and for good reason. His imaginative stories and settings are equal to any of the fairy tale lands we grew up with and the characters are just as charming and delightful.

Hayao Miyazaki
Ponyo*
Howls Moving Castle
Spirited Away
Kiki's Delivery Service
Castle in the Sky

Great movies can come from many different places. There can be a masterpiece hiding in some dusty corner that doesn't have a celebrity name to call its own. Here are a few of my hidden favorites.

Others
FernGully: The Last Rainforest
Pippi Longstocking
Balto
The Swan Princess
Happily Ever After
The Princess and the Pea
The Princess and the Goblin
The Princess and the Cobbler*
The Secret of Kells*
The Last Unicorn*

#7. The Lion King: To Be Successful, Sometimes People Got to Die

Simba always knew that he was going to succeed his father, Mufasa, as the next Lion King. But fate liked spitting in poor little Simba's face, and his dear old dad got trampled to death by wildebeests. Of course, Mufasa's death was really caused by the evil Scar, Simba's uncle.
Later, all grown up, he reclaims his thrown and Scar suffers the double whammy of falling off a cliff and getting torn apart by hyenas. So after two particularly nasty and horrendous deaths, Simba finally becomes the lion king.
The Supposed Message:

What is "Classic Disney?"

posted by DarkSarcasm

Ah, the question that everyone who has stumbled upon this spot has surely asked themselves. It's been asked in poll form multiple times. There have been many discussions on the subject.

The spot motto defines a Disney Classic as "anything before the Pixar era", making the cutoff 1996, when Toy Story premiered.

Most of the picks/polls about the subject have Pocahontas (1995) or Tarzan (1998) in the lead.

Some fans believe that only the films on the official list of Disney Animated Classics are true classics.

Truth is, there is no definite answer, because a Disney Classic means something different...
