Yup, another poll. Some would argue that everything prior to Walt's death encompasses an entire golden age, but I think there's enough aspects to separate the two into two periods.

It was between The Jungle Book and The Sword In The Stone and I chose The Jungle Book.

Alice in Wonderland. Even if it wasn't original, they did well with it. Besides, it's at least partially faithful to the book.

The Sword in the Stone. I've always been an Arthur buff, and I think it started there.

The Sword in the Stone, definitely. Merlin's one of my favorite Disney characters of all time, and Archimedes is fantastic as well.

Sword in the Stone for me... no doubt.

I've only seen it a few times, and it's been a while, but in my opinion Sword in the Stone is kind of a shitty movie. A large portion of the "plot" is completely unnecessary and doesn't even build towards the conclusion. It just sort of ends. I'd have to watch it again to fully form my thoughts here, but I remember watching it a couple years ago and having a few WTF moments. It wasn't nearly as meandering and pointless as The Black Cauldron, but it was in that ballpark.

I picked Jungle Book because I always dug the music in it. And I love recycled fight scenes.

I don't think I ever saw Sword in the Stone, which is surprising given that I love the whole King Arthur thing. Probably the most memorable ones in this list for me are Jungle Book and Alice in Wonderland. I'd have to take Jungle Book because I remember watching and enjoying it more as a kid.

Peter Pan. I love the story and it was a great adaptation.

Ah, I didn't see Peter Pan in the list! I must be more attentive. That would definitely have been my choice. Holds a lot of great memories for me.

It's also partially responsible for an accidental "crime" I commited when I was in 4th grade. But that's a story for another time.

This comes down to which movie would I bother to watch more than once. Out of the given list, I'd say that goes to Lady and the Tramp.

The Sword in the Stone was the first disney movie I ever watched. I used to watch the duel between Merlin and Mim, until I wore the tape out. Even today it's still a really great scene animation wise.

I would have to got with One Hundred & One Dalmatians. As it was the one I liked the most.
