December meme - Disney animation for ![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)

I think Disney released some of their best films between the time I was born and when I turned 10. I had a cassette soundtrack and singalong book for The Lion King and I listened to it on my Walkman whenever we went to Pennsylvania to visit my grandparents. The animation used on the establishing shots is iconic. It's been years (probably more like a decade, actually) since I've re-watched it, but I can picture the opening sequence with remarkable clarity.
I was partial to the animal movies: Lady and the Tramp (we had a cocker spaniel, so I really loved that one), Fox and the Hound, Rescuers Down Under, Robin Hood, The Lion King, Oliver and Company. I loved the (non-Disney) American Tail movies. I was absolutely obsessed with (again, non-Disney) The Last Unicorn. I think I must have rented it almost every time we went to the video store for at least a year.
When I was younger I think Beauty and the Beast was my favorite of the so-called "princess" movies; it's certainly one of my favorite tropes now, but it's hard to say if that's because of Disney or Robin McKinley.
We had Fantasia on tape. I think my parents had to turn it off before the last sequence because that's the only one I don't remember very well, and my memories are mostly of how much it freaked me out. I loved the pegasi and the ballet section the most.

Like you though, I haven't watched in a really long time.

101 Dalmatians remains my favourite. It's amazing what the animators were capable of in 1961, although it's nothing like what we'd expect today.
