Favorite | Atlantis: The Lost Empire has to be my all-time favorite Disney film because of how much work went into building the world in the film. Crafting a brand new language, having Mike Mignola as one of the production designers, having Leonard Nimoy in it, and being a film based on Jules Verne's "Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea"...This film was perfect to me.
I first watched this film on the Disney Channel during its premiere by myself in the living room because my mom was sleeping in the bedroom and I would usually watch my cartoons later on the weekends. I set up my blanket and pillow and camped out in front of the TV, my eyes glued to the screen as the film enchanted me. The underwater exploration scene was amazing and full of action, the comedy was dead on, and when Milo & Kida first meet, I knew I was in love with the film. The vibrant blues set against the subdued color scheme that could only best fit a dying world and the 1910s industrial age...
Also this is one of the most ethereal and magical moments in animation imo.
I did not sleep that night, drawing Kida in my notebook and rewatching the film during the encore. When I'm bored and decide not to watch Star Trek, this is usually my go-to film.
Least Favorite | I suppose Chicken Little is my least favorite film. I have watched it, I've read the children's book that Disney released for the film, I've tried watching it again and again, and no matter how much I see it I never remember what happened in the film after I've seen it. I have a pretty good memory, so not being able to remember this film (outside of the obvious stuff like "nobody believed Chicken Little", "he has a friend who is a fish", "aliens") is very odd. I've come to the conclusion that my inability to remember this film is due to the fact this film has absolutely nothing going for it. There is nothing that makes it a standout movie. No scenes that come off as memorable, nothing that makes it better than the story it is based on...
(I certainly didn't attempt to watch the film after Chicken Little was in Kingdom Hearts II. I watched it in 2008 at my friend's house when she decided to read the book to her baby sister and I said I had never seen it before)
I've seen Home on the Range and I don't remember it, either, but due to the fact I only seen it once makes it a poor candidate for my Least Favorite. It just doesn't even come on my radar. I suppose Dinosaurs also falls under this. I saw it once out of necessity because my friend was surprised I hadn't, and it wasn't anything I'd watch again. Bolt, too.
(Brother Bear and Meet the Robinsons were the best things to come from Disney's shit era, tbh)
