Is the best animated film ever?
Based on a true story aswell, which I found surprising.

The Lion King

Aladdin was always my favorite.
didn't like the songs in the Lion King - It's Hamlet by the way, and its ripped off of a Japanese show back in the 60s called Kimba or something

Disney have made tons of classic cartoons its amazing actually. There have been three great periods when these have been made, 40s, mid 70s and the early 90s. Of the modern generation you have to say The Lion King is the best, followed closely by Alladin, Beauty and The Beast, The Little Mermaid, etc...
But you can't rule out the classic Disneys from the 40s to 70s; Bambi, Sleeping Beauty, Snow White, Dumbo, Lady and The Tramp, Cinderella, The Rescuers, Robin Hood, etc...

The Jungle Book has the best Music though...
Mine as well...
In todays age, there will NEVER be a "best" animated film because each one ousts the others in terms of the technology.
Out of order probably but it started with Toy Story, and the likes of Wall-E, Nemo, Madagascar, Ice Age, Shrek, Cars, Kung-Fu Panda... the list goes on of "best" animated films.
Lion King ranks easily, but is it the best ever? Impossible to tell.
How could I forget The Jungle Book?!!! 
That's actually probably my favourite.

The Jungle Book is by far the best.
On second thoughts its mighty close between Aladdin & the Jungle book...But i'd still go for Aladdin cos i actually went cinema to see it..
I lost respect for the Lion King after i found out it was ripped off the japs..
The story's Hamlet but the animators stole all the animation ideas off a Japanese show called Kimba the White Lion...Check it

The jungle book is superb, I never realised it was that old.
Lion king is da best
Of the Pixar films Id say Toy Story and Shrek were my favourites. But none of them compare to the ones I saw in the 70s as a kid. Jungle Book, 101 Dalmations, Sword and the Stone, all marvelous.

Checked this out on Wikipedia (Having not heard of it) & the company that the Lion King was basically stolen from thought it was an "Honor" to have inspired such a great film.
Strange, funny, silly Japaneese
James and the giant Peach
Was pants
Was pants
Was that even a film? I remember reading the book.
Peaches are shit. James and the Giant Banana would have been a better book.
I think The Lion King is one of Disney's last great films but it wouldn't make my top 5 Disney films, let alone the whole of animation.
Dumbo
Cinderella
Jungle Book
Beauty and the Beast
Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs
Aristocats
Pinocchio
etc.
Then films from Pixar, Aardman and Ghibli (amongst others) would all rate higher than The Lion King.
Edit: I actually really like James and the Giant peach. Another Burton/Selick animation The Nightmare before Christmas would be in with a shout of best animation film.

Wasn't a horrible film, but it fell WELL short of expectations
alladin would be my favourite
I keep getting this thread mixed up with the Lionel Messi one. Can we merge them?
Lion King > Messi
It was a great movie.
101 Dalmatians, Aladdin, Peter Pan, Robin Hood and The Rescuers Down Under are my favorite Disney movies.

Sheeeeet..Dumbo was great. It was the first Disney film i ever saw i think. The Elephants on parade freaked me out!
Studio Ghibli's movies are also very good.
Finding Nemo is seriously good
Shrek was not Pixar.
Wasnt it? You learn something new every day.
I used to watch Kimba the White Lion when i was a kid. Obviously dubbed into English.
Indeed, Shrek was made by Universal's equivilent (sp?) hence all the digs at Disney in Shrek 1-3.
Others made by Universal are the likes of Ice Age, Kung Fu Panda etc
I wish you had told me that tomorrow. I only like learning one thing per day. Otherwise my brain hurts and I find it difficult to sleep.
Aladdin would be my favourite. I like the Jungle Book as well, it's wicked.
Robin Hood is probably my favourite
does anyone remember the old Mega Drive games for The Lion King and Alladin, they were great

i loved beauty and the beast - my son used to sit on my knee to watch it and sing along
They were indeed! I had them saved on my PC, had to press F7 at the start up screen to play them, cant remember how we did that but it was annoying as you could never save the game, I never did complete either of them because of this but i did get to the last level of the Lion King one amazing day untill we had a power cut. To say I was annoyed is an under statement.
look at the advert "All of disney world on dvd click here!"Yes Elvis it was.
I loved the lion King, Toy Story is great too.
