I'm gonna be that guy who says that Up is no only her favorite Pixar movie, but one of her favorite movies period.

And yes, that was BEFORE Doug Walker said that Up was one of his favorite movies. Gawsh >_>

I'm having to learn to pay the price

I never realized ThatGuyWithTheGlasses is so influential in the movie world.

Seriously?

Anyway, Up is probably my favorite Pixar movie as well, tied with The Incredibles. Its poignancy is what really gets me—it's sweet without being overly sentimental, something that most movies in its vein desperately lack.

If there are people who don't think that Up is the best Pixar film, and who make rude comments about people who like it at all, then I don't think the world really deserves Up. Take it back, Pixar. We weren't ready. sad

Up was my favorite Pixar movie way before I even heard of the Nostalgia Critic. But my favorite Pixar movie now is Toy Story 3 anyway.

[up][up]Okay, I think you're really overreacting. People ARE allowed to not like the movie, y'know.

0dd1@ I don't find any of the films overly sentimental. Which ones are?

As mentioned on the Fandom Rivalry page, the line between Classsic and Modern Disney varies from person to person.

What do you think is the cuttoff date, based on the given choices and reasons?

For those to lazy to click, we have:

1967: the release of The Jungle Book, Walt Disney's final film

1971: the deaths of Disney founders Roy Disney and Ub Iwerks

1981: the release of The Fox and the Hound, the transition film between the first and second generation animators

1985: the failure of The Black Cauldron, which led to radical changes towards the animation department's film making approach by newly-installed studio heads Michael Eisner and Jeffrey Katzenberg

1994: the release of The Lion King and the end of Disney's Second Golden Age

1999: the release of Tarzan and the end of the Disney Renaissance

Disney offically says 1985, I'll say 1999, but what about you?

[up]I gotta agree with them. Like them or not, for a while, Eisner and Katzenberg pretty much kept the company afloat.

Why can't 1967-1985 be its own age?

[up]Because except for growth in the parks, it was pretty much a dark age for Disney.

I don't think of it as a stark division between two eras. I think of three phases: Classic, Transition, and Modern. The Classic period is from Snow White And The Seven Dwarfs up through The Rescuers, the last film into which Walt had any input. The Fox And The Hound through Oliver And Company is the Transition phase, when the older generation of animators was retiring and the new ones were coming on board but the studio hadn't found its new stride yet. From The Little Mermaid onward is Modern.

I have personal reasons for doing it this way as well. I was born in 1977, the year The Rescuers came out. Classic Disney is anything from before I was born. grin

I feel like there've been several threads about this already...

In terms of Disney films, I currently enjoy GMD, Dumbo, and Mulan.

Pixar films: My favorite would probably be Finding Nemo. Personally, I didn't like Up quite as much as most people. Maybe it wasn't my cup of tea, but it seemed like a bit of a small story, whereas usually Pixar stories seem to have bustling worlds. I still appreciated the opening sequence though.

I treat all living things equally. That is to say, I eat all living things

I picked 1999 because I think any movie after that doesn't really deserve to be called a classic. Almost Every movie before certainly does.
