I wouldn't say I'm a big fan but I grew up watching them and so i have developed a sense of attachment to them especially the ones i watched as a child.

I disagree with many of Disney's newer messages, yet, I most give them credit for their original ideas.
Also, The Lion King is awesome.

I enjoed the pŕevious disney mivies. The new ones lack originality and are spoiling the old concepts. They jist copy and copy and copy. No creativity and nothing new.

I love the old Disney. There's no reason to justify this; they were undeniably awesome.

I like the old movies a lot, but they need their resources into new stories instead of just remakes. It's tiring. I'm tired of seeing the same things over and over again. There are so many good books and stories they could be making instead.

I am a huge fan of Disney movies! There's just something about the magic and wonder of those stories that never gets old. I agree with you about the remakes - some are good, but others just don't live up to the originals. As for my favorite Disney movie, it's definitely The Lion King. I can't get enough of the incredible soundtrack and the heartwarming story of Simba's journey to become king.

Absolutely, I'm a huge fan of Disney movies, and it goes beyond just the animated classics. Disney has been a cultural cornerstone, bringing stories to life that resonate with people from all walks of life. The representation, creativity, and timeless themes are what draw me in. From "The Lion King" to "Moana," Disney movies have a way of connecting us to our emotions and reminding us of the importance of imagination and wonder.

I think few can match up to their animation and tech capabilities, though there may be better storytellers out there. The sheer volume of their body of work in their space leaves me astounded!

Oh I love Disney movies. The old ones are absolutely watchable repeatedly. I love the advanced animation in the new movies and the extreme details the makers use to make them is commendable.

I'm a massive fan of old Disney. I agree with you, that while new Disney is fun and nice, it does not hold the same charm as old Disney. I love the hand-drawn illustrations and the beautiful portrayal of storylines. My favourite movie would have to be Aladdin! Princess Jasmine was such a role model for me.

I absolutely LOOOOOVE Disney movies!! Sometimes, I wonder if it's because it makes me think so much of my childhood and it just brings me back to that time. It's full of memories. My favourite is definitely The Lion King, though.
