The Twelve Days of Listmas Day 5: Disney!

Time to go to the happiest place on Earth and tell you what I like best about the Disney Animated Canon!

(Note that I'm only counting the traditionally animated films here. No live-action movies. No technically canon CG films like Tangled or Chicken Little. No Pixar. No Touchstone. Not that I don't love all those movies, but cell animation is where it's at).

  1. Only two films from when Disney was alive? Huh, interesting.

    1. There's more if I extend it to 20.

      And it's really three. Walt worked on JB, Pooh, and Fantasia.

    2. True, but Pooh was released 11 years after his death and is firmly situated in the "Dark Age" of Disney animations, so it's not exactly 'released when Disney was alive'.

    3. The first short was released in 66 (the movie is just the three shorts with new transitions and an ending), so even though Walt didn't see it he was very much invested in it.
