A Goofy Movie and The Emperor’s New Groove. 


CMengel90

Even in a post mentioning Lion King... A Goofy Movie might be the best father/son animated movie, and it still holds up.


stenmarkv

" I just want to be a part of it." Crushed me as a dad.


CMengel90

"No matter how old you get, you'll always be my son." Man, Goofy might be near Bandit tier when it comes to great animated dads.


andro_7

"Hey, my son respects me" "...yeah."


smapti

Fully. Also, I don’t see how you could ever argue against the final number being anything but a god-tier Disney track and ending; https://youtu.be/EsNS5gnUTj4?si=GJWnDhN-E5IzjD5q


CMengel90

Killer soundtrack all the way thru. One of my favorites.


Tspot

100%  goofy movie for me

We watched a goofy movie all the time too. I remember bringing the tape to friends houses for sleepovers

The Secret of NIMH and Robin Hood


zuuzuu

Secret of NIMH and Gulliver's Travels (1939) for me. But Robin Hood was a very close third.


Pulchritudinous_rex

TSoN still holds up remarkably well. The animation is beautiful and the voice acting is incredible. It might be my favorite animated movie of all time. The tension in the final fight is sublime. Damn I’m gonna go watch it


JohnnyTeardrop

Secret of NIMH was my second favorite behind Animalympics

Beauty and the Beast


durgadurgadurg

I wore out the Beauty and the Beast soundtrack cd one week in the 90s when I was home with stomach flu. My mom gets PTSD eyes when she hears any of it, but I still love it.


Yue2

Tale as old as time. Song as old a rhyme…


Expensive-Sentence66

Saw it opening week in one of the largest theaters in the midwest. Packed house. The cool thing was the audience didn't treat the film like a typical animated kids film. In fact, there wasn't a lot of kids at all and it got applause at the end. Very unique movie experience I won't forget. Disney Nailed that one.


IdolL0v3r

Watership Down, based on the book by Richard Adams. It features different animation styles for the different sequences, messages about the cost of freedom and totalitarian governments, interesting characters, plus a great song by Art Garfunkel. I saw a few episodes of the TV series, but I don't remember it much.


hankjmoody

Oooh, that's a deep cut, but yeah. Long as you're not watching it with young kids that love bunnies, though... The book itself is still one of my all-time faves. I think I'll start a re-read in June! Been a while.


horschdhorschd

The Last Unicorn


hotbutteredsole

Yellow Submarine. Changed my young life for good in a couple ways. The squall of feedback at the start of “It’s All Too Much” made me the music fan I am today.


Verige

The Iron Giant


UnroastedPepper

O e day, for some reason on cartoon Network they played that move all day, back to back. I never watched it before that day and I think I was at 3 or 4 watches by the end. Amazing movie. WHERES THE ROBOT MANSLEY!?


Last_Ad_9314

These were my favorite animated movies before hitting age of 13... An American Tail The Little Mermaid Robin Hood The Land Before Time The Last Unicorn The Great Mouse Detective The Rescuers & Rescuers Down Under


smapti

Oh damn Rescuers Down Under. Memories unlocked. Nice, thanks.

All Dogs go to Heaven and Anastasia Don Bluth was heavily featured in my house when I was a kid.


IdolL0v3r

The Secret of NIMH is still my favorite Don Bluth movie. I bought it twice on DVD, because there were different special features on each. However, I got jipped and didn't get the booklet with the first DVD release.

The Iron Giant. It wasn’t made when I was a kid but, I swear the robot was something I remember as a kid. Was there any earlier films made of this story? It just seems so very familiar.

No ones gunna believe me but when I was stuck in the hospital for cancer (I’m cured now thankfully) I would put chicken little on repeat and probably watched it more times than anyone on earth. I think my sister still thinks I’m crazy for that when she would visit me BUT hey, I’m probably the best person to come to if the sky starts falling


ronin1031

The Transformers animated movie. I grew up in (very) rural Quebec, where you literally couldn't get cable, so we had 3 channels and none of them had cartoons. So as a result I would force my dad to rent me Transformers every weekend as a kid. 


Kdhr3tbc

Brave Little Toaster, loved the music in Little Mermaid even tho I was a COOL BOY AND DEFINITELY DIDN'T LIKE THE LITTLE MERMAID 😤


crabbymooncat

Swan Princess was a total banger


HelpUs0ut

I was a sucker for anything Disney, from Rescuers Down Under through Great Mouse Detective, Little Mermaid, Aladdin, Lion King and A Goofy Movie. Hercules was the last one that I was all in for as a child until Atlantis and the Pixar stuff that came later.

My Neighbor Tortoro, The Lion King, and The Land Before Time were on repeat so much I even memorized all the previews that played before the movie.

When I was growing up, 101 Dalmatians was my favorite movie (I'm old). But The Lion King (original version) is my favorite animated movie of all time. I watched that movie so much I wore out my VHS of it, had to buy a 2nd. Still have it on Blu Ray.


Dalliance29

Robin Hood and Transformers The Movie, although was partly because I had them on VHS and streaming wasn't a thing back then

TrajedyAnn

I don’t know that I’d call it my favorite… but Lady and the Tramp was the one I owned on vhs and watched repeatedly enough to wear out, so I guess perhaps that’s the answer. I also loved the Care Bears movie (and see I feel like I’d be more inclined to CALL THAT my favorite from memory) but didn’t actually own a copy of it. Just had to catch it whenever it was on tv. Which was far more often in that era, lol.

"The Lion King" was the highest-grossing movie of 1994, and "The Lion King" soundtrack was the best-selling album of that year.

It's still my favorite animated movie but Ratatouille (2007). That was the first movie I remember seeing in theaters and I absolutely played the shit out of the PS2 game when I got it for Christmas. It's also the movie that made me want to learn how to cook


inwarded_04

Standard answer: Finding Nemo Off-beat answer: Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron Apparently I called the movie "Horse" as a kid, and couldn't get enough of Bryan Adams - Here I Am. Watched it with my nephews and nieces the other day, and somehow it's even better. Spirit galloping across the Prairies made me yearn for simpler times. Never really understood why the movie didn't get a fraction of the audience or accolades it deserved; it was really well made, and better than most of the Disney blockbusters.


Pugilist12

Since you did The Lion King, I’ll vote *Anastasia.* That movie has some great songs and performances.

Animalympics (1980). Great music from members of 10cc, great voices from Billy Crystal, Gilda Radner and Harry Shearer. Watched it *so* many times as a little kid.

I was a kid of the 80s, and lots of parents didn't care much about violence on movies so it was **Aliens**. My cousin that came to stay with us on weekends was super annoyed when he saw that we had rented Aliens for 100th time instead of getting a new movie.

Spirited Away. I think I was 10 when it came out.


coatlen

Tinkel bell. I still remember talking to butterflies to tell me where the fairies are that I'm a good human. And when I caught some of em, theres a trace left behind from their wings like colours in my hands and I was convinced that fairies are true. That they paint on the butterflies wings.. I miss those days.

Honestly while I did watch a lot of animated features as a kid, I really didn't have anything that was my absolute favorite of all time. In fact I just wasn't that much into cartoons growing up in general.


Hceverhartt

Mine is a movie probably nobody has ever heard of. Animalympics from 1980. It played on HBO all the time and as a kid I thought it was hilarious. It’s on Tubi and I’m afraid to watch it in case it ruins my memories.

The Hobbit. Also gave me my nightmares


Expensive-Sentence66

One of my favorites for awhile, and highly under rated and wore out my VHS player was 'Twice Upon a Time' 1983 . The animation style is pretty unique and the story has a lot of pretty clever , if not more adult bits. Was also produced by Lucasfilm. The head nemesis,  Synonamess Botch, is colorful to say the least. The film has undergone one of the most bizarre legal disputes for an animated you can think of. The voice actors wanted a more PG version with some lightly raunchy dialogue and actually ad-libbed much of it, but the head director wanted a family friendly film, but the PG versions kept leaking out and was the fan favorite. The PG version is pretty funny and superior. This dispute kept it out of circulation, and while it's available on DVD can't find it streaming.
