Sword in the Stone was the only one that I cared for.
The others failed to keep my attention.

Treasure Planet is very similar to Atlantis in that its incredibly beautiful to look at and also incredibly boring.

I don't like musicals, I despise them more than any other type of film.
Every Disney animated film past and present has a bunch of fucking singing and I find it taxing. Even in Sword in the Stone. the only reason that film kept my attention back then was that I found the Merlin character interesting. Now days I won't watch it. But overall it's the musical side of their films that I can't deal with. This is the same reason I can't stand Sweeny Todd and refuse to watch Wicked. It's because of the goddamn singing.

the earlier films, before the little mermaid, had less of the characters singing. if that makes any difference. :P

Methinks Merlin & Mim would be Druids in D&D 5e with all the wild-shaping (class specific feature) instead of wizards lol.

Pinocchio is not holding up like I thought it would. Still technically good, but kinda clunky in its pacing, And the Voice Acting is cringy in spots.

Oh man...Stromboli just bit straight into a whole onion. Blegh!

I feel like the whole nose-growing with lie-spilling is some kind of racial slur Germans had against jews & gypsies, but not anywhere as obvious as the other racial missteps in Disney's history. Not that they could've avoided it (much) since it's in the book, from what I remember.

Ah, Pleasure Island, dark as fuck shit. This sequence hits so much harder than it does in other adaptions, imo.

The Scary Movie flicks definitely had some gold moments.

The first two are legit bordering tier 1 level in terms of comedy movies. Some of the funniest shit I've ever seen.
