movies/tv Worst Disney Movies

[VitalSpark 1,830]

 

 

Brave was ok it just didn't feel like a Pixar movie

 

Yeah, I liked Brave. It was released right in between Tangled and Frozen, so gets compared to two insanely awesome films, which doesn't help it.

 

After sitting through Disney's Robin Hood (set in England) with American accents, Tangled (set in Germany) with American accents, Aladdin (set in Arabia) with American accents, etc, etc, it was refreshing to see a Disney film where the Scottish people actually sounded... you know... Scottish.

 

Also Merida is lovely (swoon).

 

Now, what was bad...? The Black Cauldron was disappointing given what great source material the books provided, but it's not an actively bad film. All their 1940s films were complete dreck, except for Pinocchio, Bambi, Dumbo, and Fantasia. All the Disney princess films released before Beauty and the Beast provide appallingly bad role models for girls. (Though The Little Mermaid has other redeeming qualities, so I'll excuse that one.) Pocahontas was boring. Hercules was boring. After Mulan (which was fantastic), everything they released for the next 11 years was boring. (Except Atlantis, which was flawed, but mostly good.)

The two Disney movies I don't like were High School Musical and Frozen. I don't see why Frozen is so popular to be honest.

[Neutral 1,185]

All the fcking sequels to the original movies. Proved by many that this statement is correct. (Ask nostalgia critic)

[MLPFanatic34 3,234]

The High School Musical movies, The Incredibles, Princess and The Frog, Pinocchio, Mary Poppins, and Meet The Robinsons.

Home on the Range was just embarassing. A lot of the criticisms people falsely lay on Disney animated movies are all true here. Colourful saccharine image to distract your kid with no creativity. It's stuff like this that hurt their image to which it is now getting back with some really good animated movies. I know Disney. I respect them like I respect Nintendo. They defined their respective medium and their legacy is well earned. But when you go from setting the standard to stuff like Home on the Range you become any generic kiddy crap peddler and that is unbecoming for a company like Disney.

 

Also most Disney DVD sequels were pretty bad. Though the Aladdin sequels hold a special place for me, especially King of Thieves.

I hated HIgh School Musical - absolutely terrible lip-syncing, and it was so cheesy that I got diarrhea

 

I hate to say this, but I thought Frozen could be better - it had a really nice soundtrack, but they really could have done better with the plot.  Why didn't old grandpa troll just tell Elsa that she could control her powers with love at the beginning?  That troll was a pretty big asshole, in my opinion.  He was the reason Elsa's parents kept her locked in her room for most of her childhood (which makes Elsa's parents the assholes, technically speaking).

Why didn't old grandpa troll just tell Elsa that she could control her powers with love at the beginning?

 

 

Why didn't Trollestia tell Twilight that she'd meet five ponies in Ponyville, and they would be necessary to defeat Nightmare Moon in the beginning? Because you can't just tell someone to be friends with somebody else, and expect a genuine friendship to appear. They become friends through shared experiences, and it is this that eventually leads them to victory.

 

Similarly, telling Elsa that she could control her powers with love wouldn't have worked. You can't just start loving on command. She could only learn to control her powers through genuinely experiencing love.

[Cardboard Castles 19]

Frozen! Because men sing about mining ice in the first 5 minutes... and a talking snowman... should I continue?

We watch a show about talking ponies that sing songs and that have happy endings. I'm not saying I don't like this show nor am I saying that I like Frozen, but c'mmon you should continue.

 

Cinderella.

 

It just never, ever did anything for me. If the Fairy Godmother never showed up, Cinderella would've been screwed.

The entire cat and mouse chase stuff was unneeded and just a time waster. If I wanted to watch that I'd pop in Tom & Jerry.

 

Finally, the rest of the film was just ... completely uninteresting and dull as a rock. I like the Godmother's magic and how mean the sisters are. And even then it's only a mild like. I practically didn't care at all even about those factors

If you don't care I'ma not mention them but, I think it's kinda silly

That's the point of the sisters, if they gave you that kind of reaction it's good. If an actor was trying to be a mean person and they suceeded in you disliking then they're good characters to get that reaction. If you just don't like the movie then meh.

I, for one Despise HSM, and Chicken Little with a passion.

 

However, you could say I dislike:

 

Frozen - I, too don't understand why everyone loves this movie, but what ppl don't realize is the setting of the story is depressing.  I've read Snow Queen and its very "dull" story, tbh. 

 

Home on a Range - Eeyup......they can range outta here b/c that film sucked badly. 

 

 

 

BTW, I may add Cinderella, too b/c my cousin came up with a joke that involved Child Services, but i rather not say it.

Chicken little is a funny movie but bad musicals to me are just bad. And the praise of it and it's imediate sucess (like Frozen) is pretty annoying. I really like Chicken Little, tbh.

 

Pre-60s. Those movies were pretty boring. Snow White, Dumbo and Bambi being the ones that stand out most. Never liked them, never will.

 

Duuuuude, Bambi was a great movie. Dumbo was pretty cool too. Never really liked Snow White though ^^

Chicken Little - Everyone is a jerk to him for over a year, which is already a bad start. I can see that Chicken Little caused chaos in the town, but getting upset at him for over a year? That just proves how unlikable the characters are. Plus, the animation looks like PS2 graphics. 

 

High School Musical - I've seen people say Equestria Girls has High School stereotypes, except this is 10x worse.

 

Any Disney Princess movie (except for Beauty and the Beast, if that counts) - These all interest me as much as a rock farm does.

 

The graphics I can understand but it's trying to teach a lesson and a point. MLP episodes can be like that, there are a lot of infamous ones doesn't mean their not good because of how the episode played out, I liked Chicken Little. It's a cheery upbeat film about a chicken and aliens. CHICKENS AND ALIENS, C'MMON.

Song of the South. Without a doubt it's one of the most racist films ever made.

Racism =/= bad

 

High School Musical: Worst thing Disney had ever conceived since Hannah Montana!

 

I know worse, but both of those are crap.

High School Musical, The Incredibles, The Princess & The Frog, Dinosaur, Home on The Range, and Meet The Robinsons. The High School musical movies were just pointless and stupid. I didn't like any of them to be honest.

dude. Most of those were really good movies man .-.

 

 

oh and my least favorite is the The lion king I just don't like it, good at copying a lot of stuff though.. There's a lot of garbage t.v. too.

Good point, but why couldn't the troll tell her not to freak out, I mean, it was the reason her powers got all crazy and out of control.

I liked Hercules but yeah, Pocahontas was dull very dull really. The songs were okay though. I'd say it's one of those films that the songs are the only things anyone really remembers from the film. I haven't seen Atlantis yet though. Or much of the 1940's films.

[Cardboard Castles 19]

The Hunchback of Notre Dame 2-

 

The Lion King-Yeah,that's right. I do not like the Lion King. Scar is really the only thing good about it.

 

Old Disney Movies in general-I don't know what people enjoy about them. The only ones I actually do enjoy are the Hunchback of Notre Dame,Lilo and Stitch,Emperor's New Groove,and Nightmare before Christmas. All of the others,I just watch for the villains.

I don't like the lions king. I think a lot of the old movies are really good, too.

 

Don't like HSM or Cars 2,

I mean really, cars 2 was bad.

 

 

Am I the only one who disliked Tarzan? Honestly I found it incredibly boring now and as a kid

 

It has a slow start but the animation and the connection between Tarzan and that girl is kinda cool.

Dumbo is the worst. The elephant gets drunk for pete sake. Also it illuminates you to feel like you are on drugs with all the colors and crap.

I think that's a creepy and trippy scene. Awesome though.

 

 

ALSO EVERYONE SHOULD TOTALLY WATCH NOSTALGIA CRITIC'S THINGS ABOUT UHM, THE FREAKING DISNEYMANIA.

The only lesson I can find in the movie has been done before, and 10x better. And yes, I can recognize when MLP:FiM is being mean-spirited, but it never really goes as far as Chicken Little does, and I'm currently reviewing all the episodes in mya blog.

 

Also, Chickens and Aliens don't improve the movie by any means. What if a movie had a ton of awesome stuff, yet had horrible, cliche writing? Would the awesome stuff improve it? Nope.

 

I also forgot that it had random things thrown out there for no reason (the whole Baseball scene was never mentioned again in the movie, gg no re) plus had one of the stupidest endings ever put in a movie.

It's being mean spirited for a reason, that reason being trying to develop character and trying to show more about that character.

 

I think it's actually pretty cool of a movie. The meaning is kinda simple, very small things can start the simplest things, but over worrying and caring about something like this can be dumb. And be yourself, I guess.

 

I think the baseball season was a huge thing in the movie later. It also showed a very high, high of a person and how happiness can come ago, and how you shouldn't base your life over one small thing. But, it did come and go.

Meh, I still think the lesson's been done better, in a way without making characters seem likes dipholes.

 

But, whatevs.

[VulpineTaco 525]

Any DCOM ever. Seriously, stop it, Disney.

ALSO EVERYONE SHOULD TOTALLY WATCH NOSTALGIA CRITIC'S THINGS ABOUT UHM, THE FREAKING DISNEYMANIA.

 ^It's called Disneycember and for the record, it's NOT the Nostalgia Critic who reviews them in those video reviews, it's Doug Walker himself, the guy who plays the Critic. He just records his views on each movie (but not all movies) while footage from the movie plays throughout.

 

Look up Disneycember (the first, not 2 or 3) on Youtube. I recommend the one uploaded by CLANNADAT, but it's over 3 and half hours long

In the box is a list of movies Doug Walker covers in this set:

 

Snow White

Pinnocchio

Fantasia

Dumbo

Bambi

Saludos Amigos

The Three Caballeros

Make Mine Music

Fun and Fancy Free

Melody Time

Adventures of Ichabod and Mr. Toad

Cinderella

Alice in Wonderland

Peter Pan

Lady and the Tramp

Sleeping Beauty

101 Dalmatians

The Sword in the Stone

The Jungle Book

The Aristrocats

Robin Hood

Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh

The Rescuers

The Fox and the Hound

The Black Cauldron

The Great Mouse Detective

Oliver and Company

The Little Mermaid

The Rescuers Down Under

Beauty and the Beast

Aladdin

The Lion King

Pocahontas

The Hunchback of Norte Dame

Hercules

Mulan

Tarzan

Fantasia 2000

The Emperor's New Groove

Atlantis: The Lost Empire

Lilo & Stitch

Treasure Planet

Brother Bear

Home on the Range

Enchanted (not part of the Official Animated canon, but he covers it because of the 2D scenes)

The Princess and the Frog

Tangled

Winnie the Pooh (2011)

Next are by popular demand and review in March 2012:

Dinosaur (looks all Computer-Generated, but it's not ALL CG.)

A Goofy Movie (One of the films done by the Disney Toon Studios stationed in Austrailia)

Who Framed Roger Rabbit? (Mostly Live-action, not part of Disney Official Animated Canon)

 

Looking for Doug's Opinion on Frozen? He did two Sibling Rivalry videos with his brother on it. One with no spoilers and one with spoilers. Check them out and judge for yourself.

 

He says right upfront of his 2011 Disneycember review of the 2D animated movies from Snow White(1937)-Winnie the Pooh (2011) that "this is my own personal opinion. If you like or hate any of these films. There's nothing wrong with that. I'm just putting out there what I think are some of the most beloved classics of all time." While for the most part of him stating his opinion, I can easily disagree with him when he hates on a film I love. But....

 

Word of Warning: Doug doesn't do all the necessary research sometimes, Example: Between Bambi(1942) and Cinderella(1950), He is very puzzled about Disney's package films from the 1940s and especially the weird stuff they throw together. A little historical background research would have provided him with all the necessary context he needed. Namely, that Walt Disney had to turn over most of his animation department to the military needed because of WWII. It wouldn't be until Cinderella that the company would be able to return to the traditional 3 act structure.

 

 

Enough rambling! What do I see as the Worst Disney Movies? To me, "worst" is an ugly word. I prefer forgettable. To me, the most forgettable animated movies are Chicken LIttle, Home on the Range, and Dinosaur. The rest range from okay to perfect. That's my forgettable Disney animated film picks. Later, I'll do the Live-Actions.

You took a lot out of a suggestion.. lol. And when I searched it I already knew I messed up. W.e xDD
