what is your favorite Disney movie that is not animated?

[mommiepoppins]

I would say for me it is escape to witch mountain. I loved that as a kid!!! :Pinkbounc

[CinRell]

Old Yeller. Although I still cry every time I see it I love it.

I also love Narnia...

[dismama]

I would have to say Pollyanna and Thomasina

[Villain-lover]

The Parent Trap with Hayley Mills...definitely! ..... :rolleyes1 Let's get together, yeah yeah yeah, we could have a swell ti-ime...

[eblack0409]

The Parent Trap (with Hayley Mills) without a doubt!!!

[tweedlewtwinsmama]

The Parent Trap with Hayley Mills...definitely! ..... :rolleyes1 Let's get together, yeah yeah yeah, we could have a swell ti-ime...
It was before my time but I love this movie.

[polly p]

I love princess diaries and princess diaries two.

[Grumpy's Wife]

Another vote here for The Parent Trap. I just love that movie.

[mommiepoppins]

my kids love the princess diarys

[luvfigment]

The Parent Trap! I used to drive my sister crazy with that movie. Also Petes Dragon and Mary Poppins...I guess they are both part anmation.

[tmt martins]

PotC enough said .But I enjoyed all the Disney classics growing up.

[aterriq]

I always like the old Herbie movies. Yes they were corny.

[daretodream]

The Apple Dumpling Gang....silly, but funny :rotfl2:

[ddgckg]

Oh geez! Do I have to pick just ONE??? I went to ''disney's official website'' and looked thru every one of the live action movies... yep... all gazillion of them! I saw so many that I could watch over and over and over and over. In fact, I have. I can almost quote Ella Enchanted and The Princess Diaries. (I can definitely quote The Princess Bride - but that's another studio)And I still cry and cheer when I watch Angels in the Outfield. Also, each year we HAVE to watch The Santa Clause (parts 1 and 2).

I could go on and on... but I won't bore you with all that.

[Tamarap]

Wow, just picking one is hard. I forgot about Escape to Witch Mountain. I also love the original Parent Trap. I also love Herbie. I just don't think I can narrow it down to one.

[misspickle]

mines would have to mary poppins

[Disney Crazy Debbie]

I love all of the original classic Walt Disney movies especially anything with Hayley Mills and Annette Funicello (and, no, I am not talking about the beach movies she made with Frankie Avalon, even though I liked those, too.). I still cry with Pollyanna but I love Old Yellar, Swiss Family Robinson. And who can forget that Walt gave Kurt Russell a major boost!

[DebbieinWA]

I love The Happiest Millionaire! Of course, I love all the classic Disney - with Hayley Mills, Kurt Russell, etc. Two other favorites not mentioned are The North Ave Irregulars and One of Our Dinosaurs is Missing.

[disneymagic02]

I love The Parent Trap-with Hailey Mills, I got to meet her in Feb she did a play at the Shakespear festivel. I also would have to vote for The Santa Clause 1 and 2. It is not Christmas without watching them.

[LegoMom3]

Ohmygosh, there were too many of them for me growing up!! If I had to pick one, though, the one that seems to stand out for me would be Mary Poppins!

[mommiepoppins]

I must say I do love Mary poppins also!

[stitch63]

I always loved Now You See Him, Now You Don't with Kurt Russell and Cesar Romero. :thumbsup2 There was another movie with basically the same cast, but it's name escapes me right now.

My DS's have been listening to the Disney box set in preparatin for our trip and I've heard Hayley Mills singing that Parent Trap song waaaay too many times (why isn't there a smilie icon covering his ears???) :rolleyes:

[Luv4Disney]

NEWSIES!!! But I also love the original Parent Trap, Pollyanna, and Mary Poppins! :thumbsup2

[wvjovifan]

Growing up I loved anything with Kurt Russell. Pete's Dragon is another favorite! Current favorite is by far Pirates of the Caribbean! pirate:

[rrkman]

The Black Hole....first movie that I can remember seeing in a theater.

[LISAMWDW]

Parent Trap and Mary Poppins!

[jesszac610]

Homeward Bound, both the original one and the one where they get lost in San Franscisco! That dog chance, he just cracks me up!!!

[Lilo's Mom]

Hands down, Mary Poppins. My parents took me to see it when I was 4 years old, back in the day when you could buy a movie program at the theatre. I also have the original soundtrack, which I am not sure, but think may not even be recorded in stereo.

Second Place Pirates of the Caribbean, gotta love Capt. Jack!

[NewJerseyDVCMembers]

Classis Live Action; The Great Locomotive Chase with Fess Parker (of Davy Crockett fame)

Modern Live Action; Meet the Deedles, two of our favorite things Disney movie and National Parks.

[LVSWL]

Remember the Titans

[Tine731]

The World's Greatest Athlete. I was sooooooo in love with Jan Michael Vincent. :love: What ever happened to him?

Candleshoe is also a favorite. :thumbsup2

[Luv4Disney]

Reading the other responses after mine, how could I forget about Pete's Dragon, Freaky Friday, Pirates, Remember the Titans, Miracle, and all the other fab movies? THERE ARE TOO MANY!!! :teeth:

[daretodream]

Wow! I forgot so many...The Santa Clause movies, The Princess Diaries, the original Parent Trap. Too many to chose only one....I'm so confused :confused3

[Naisy68]

Well, my favorite is Pirates of the Caribbean (I will be at the theatre to see the sequel on July 7, I have a "date" with my teenage son and his friends.) but I loved Herbie and Freaky Friday. I also thought The Shaggy Dog was pretty cool.

[hockeymedic2000]

it's so hard to narrow it down to one. pirates and miracle are my two favorite new movies. i grew up watching all the old classics. Davy Crokett of course, i'm from texas, but i also loved island at the top of the world and snowball express.

[hockeymedic2000]

[cyjmhill]

I would say for me it is escape to witch mountain. I loved that as a kid!!! :Pinkbounc

[CrazyChik]

My all time favourite is Mary Poppins

[AlleyKat]

I love, love, LOVE "The Parent Trap" starring Hayley Mills.

The settings, the clothes, that Carmel ranch(I know there's a story behind that Disney owned building), the dynamics of the fabulous actors involved...I love it all and watch the movie frequently.

In my youth, I actually attended camps in Maine and Massachusetts that were very similar to "Camp Inch". Ahhh, those were the days! :goodvibes:

[LisaMaz]

pirate: Pirates of the Carribean! pirate: I could watch Johnny Depp in that all day! Sigh.... :love: :cloud9:

[ks12066]

Mary Poppins is my absolute favorite! :) :cheer2:

[TwIzTeR91]

Pirates of the Carrabian fer sher.

[makinorlando]

POTC pirate: Two hours of staring at Orlando Bloom and Johnny Depp. How can that be bad?

:thumbsup2 :thumbsup2 :thumbsup2 :thumbsup2:thumbsup2 The only movie I have ever seen in the theaters three times and have on DVD!!

[disneyfan6301]

Has to be Apple Dumpling Gang just because it was the first movie I saw in a movie theater. :goodvibes The Santa Clause 1 and 2 are yearly movies for us (sometimes more than yearly). :santa: I also love the old, old ones like Herbie, No Deposit, No Return, and the Boatniks. DS is hooked on the Parent Trap (newer version) and loves Davey Crockett. Remember the Titans we watch everytime we see it on TV.

Again, like the animated thread, just too many to mention. :yay:

[tchrrx]

My all-time favorite movie is Perfect Harmony. :thumbsup2 I also love Newsies and any of the Hayley Mills movies. (Parent Trap is the best!)

[4theloveofdisney]

OMG! Thanks for starting this thread!!!!! It takes me back. :goodvibes

I loved Old Yeller - first movie that make a mark on me. Next was Escape from Witch Mountain (loved the cat!!) and also The Parent Trap. I was an only child and boy did I WISH I could have been in that situation!!! :thumbsup2

[4theloveofdisney]

old school: Petes Dragon
new school: NARNIA! LOVED IT!!!!!!!!!! :cool1:


Couldn't agree more with "New School"!! Narnia was wonderful. We seldom do this but we watched it twice!!! HUGE two thumbs up for our family and I know that this movie will forever remain in our children's memories just as Old Yeller does in mine. Excellent!

[kimberh]

Old yeller

[reeny4]

Oh boy. Good question! Here are some of my favorites:

Herbie (old & new)
Santa Clause
Glory Road
Narnia
8 Below

Geesh...I'm sure there are more, but I'm just not thinking of them.

[hyland684]

The Ugly Dachshund ........I have a weiner dog myself and they are really like the movie!!!!! :tink:

[SleepingBeautyDreamr]

Too many to pick just one

[pixie dust 112]

The Parent Trap - new version.

[scroot]

Watched it last night Pollyanna.

[UtahMama]

No WAY! I just saw my favorite mentioned several times...POLLYANNA!!! Her attitude is the best!

[phantom728]

Love POTC, High School Musical and Mary Poppins.

[DisneylandGuy22]

POTC, Parent trap, National Treasure

[aztecgoods]

Pirates "Black Pearl" is the best in my opinion, thought the original was just so well done, entertaining and original. Overall just a great movie that I think will last in movie history. The new one is OK but not near as good as the first. Nat. Treasure was ok, but I can't stand Nick Cage.

[disney09]

This thread is great!! :thumbsup2
So many memories... Hmmm, when kid (uuuh!) I LOVED all of Herbie's movies, Mary Poppins (who can forget when she and Dick entered the animated characters? I wanted to be there too! :cloud9: ) and Pete's Dragon.
Now, Narnia and Pirates of the Caribbean! Two great movies! :cheer2:

[Donald - my hero]

I didn't take the time to read the entire thread :rolleyes1 Just a little tired here. So I am not sure if this one has been listed. Bedknobs & Broom Sticks. Ok Ok before you shoot me down ... I KNOW it is part cartoon but it is still one of my absolute favourite movies of all time "Bobbing along bobbing along on the bottom of the beatiful briny sea" :goodvibes

[GOOFY4LIFE]

With out a doubt POTC "Black Pearl".

[darlene9947]

My favorite as a young girl was Summer Magic with Haley Mills. My daughters like it also.

The original Parent Trap is another one I never get tired of watching.

[Beachbabybongo]

As a kid it was - Apple Dumpling Gang :rotfl:

As an adult - Pirates of the Caribbean :love:

[Jennifer48]

Does Mary Poppins count if parts are animated??

If not, I'd have to say The Parent Trap. The original with Hayley Mills of course! :thumbsup2 But Pollyanna is a VERY close second.

[LiLIrishChick63]

I love princess diaries and princess diaries two.


those are definatly some of my favorite non-animated Disney films.


BUT we can't forget Pirates of the Caribbean 1 and 2(and 3 next year!)

[clkelley]

One of my favorites that nobody has mentioned yet is "Follow Me Boys"

[byoung]

POTC here.

[IHeartTink04]

Was "In Search of The Castaways" Disney because I LOVED that movie. I Loved Homeward Bound too.

[Disney Crazy Debbie]

Was "In Search of The Castaways" Disney because I LOVED that movie. I Loved Homeward Bound too.

Yep! That movie starred Hayley Mills. I was such a fan of hers as a child and I liked all of her Disney movies - Pollyanna, Parent Tray, In Search of the Castaways, That Darn Cat, Summer Magic, Moonspinners and I can't remember any other Disney ones right now.

[lovesmurfs]

Mary Poppins, hands down.

We also liked old--Absent Minded Professor (doncha love Fred MacMurray?) and new Flubber. Freaky Friday (old) and Cat from Outer Space. Also liked the Strongest Man in the World....and Bedknobs and Broomsticks, and Pete's Dragon, and, and, and.....

[Lisa_Belle]

Mary Poppins and The Parent Trap (always wanted a twin).

[Lila95]

Another Mary Poppins vote here. I LOVE that movie. To me Julie Andrews IS Mary Poppins. Every time I see her in another movie, I still think of her as Mary.

[lovesmurfs]

Another Mary Poppins vote here. I LOVE that movie. To me Julie Andrews IS Mary Poppins. Every time I see her in another movie, I still think of her as Mary.

Yes....Victor/Victoria was too over the top for me!

[Eeyore's Tiara]

Does Mary Poppins count if parts are animated??

If not, I'd have to say The Parent Trap. The original with Hayley Mills of course! :thumbsup2 But Pollyanna is a VERY close second.

Me too! These three! :thumbsup2

[PollyannaMom]

Pollyanna, of course!

[Nurse_Mommy4]

Another vote for Mary Poppins! :thumbsup2 I remember when Princess Diaries came out and DD8 saw Julie Andrews she was like "mommy she looks like Mary Poppins!" I thought that's my girl, I've trained you right. :cool1:

[Lila95]

Another vote for Mary Poppins! :thumbsup2 I remember when Princess Diaries came out and DD8 saw Julie Andrews she was like "mommy she looks like Mary Poppins!" I thought that's my girl, I've trained you right. :cool1:

My daughter did the same thing. I love The Sound of Music so she had caught bits and pieces of that movie. The first time she saw Mary Poppins she stared at her for a minute and said "Mommy, Frauline Maria is really Mary Poppins."

[clkelley]

My daughter did the same thing. I love The Sound of Music so she had caught bits and pieces of that movie. The first time she saw Mary Poppins she stared at her for a minute and said "Mommy, Frauline Maria is really Mary Poppins."

I grew up with Sound of Music imprinted on my brain. So to me Mary Poppins is really Maria! However, I do love Mary Poppins!

[bamabelle]

The Parent Trap and my DD9 LOVES High School Musical.

[twojo21]

as a kid i always like moonspinners with hayley mills.

[mamax2]

I love the new Parent Trap with Lindsay Lohan. And Princess Diaries 1&2, and I love Summer Magic with Haley Mills. Ahh to list all my loves, it would take too long. (and too many pages.)

[cindarella]

Parent Trap and Princess D's for me. :thumbsup2

[ThinkTink75]

I love Mary Poppins!!!!

[Belle's Mom Tink]

Both Princess Diaries movies, I love them!!

[Violet Crayon]

POTC and Tuck Everlasting for me, but I still love every other movie.

[phisigprincess]

I'm completely in love with BOTH of The Parent Trap movies. They're both special in their own way. Too bad Lindsay Lohan turned out the way she is. :( She was so cute in that movie!

[MissMagnolia]

I think this is a Disney one...the movie about the Tower of Terror. I love the ride so seeing it in the movie and the "story" behind it is great! I have never seen it in video form, just on TV.

[bnf2]

A tie for me... Mary Poppins and The Parent Trap (original version with Hayley Mills).

[tadamom]

Mine would have to be Mary Poppins as well! B/c when we took my son to Disney (he was almost 3) we were driving in the car and my SIL (Mary Poppins is her all time favorite as well) started singing "Just a spoon full of sugar" (the part where Mary is singing in the mirror w/herself) and when she got finished with the "aaahhhahhhhahhh" he looked right at her and said "CHEEKY"!!! I thought we would all die we were laughing soooo hard. So ever since then, it has been my favorite! But, I am also a Narnia and POTC fan too!

[Momerath]

Great thread, so many good movies mentioned! :thumbsup2 Currently, I love POTC 1&2 but as a child of the 80's my most favorite live-action will always be "Who Framed Roger Rabbit?" (technically a Touchstone release, but Disney none-the-less). I think the effects still hold up fairly well by today's standards, too!

[HACAM]

Without a doubt, P.O.T.C...dead mans chest, also loved the first one!

[Stepharia]

I always liked Song of the South. But I also have so many more I always loved to watch, the Herbie movies, Mary Poppins and Bedknobs and Broomsticks (those have been dd's favorites since she was about 3).

As for a newer pick, it has to be POTC DMC (have seen it 4 times and can't wait for it to come to video).

[Ashtonky]

Maybe its because I am part Irish but I loved Darby O'Gill and the Little people and can I say Sean Connery was hot. I also love Summer Magic. For newer ones I love Pirates and The Princess Diaries.

[deekaypee]

Old Yeller, for its daring choice to shy away from sentimentality in its coming-of-age ending. If you haven't seen it, do so. It's one of the few films that make me tear up.

Btw, for those of you who are interested in such trivia, Mary Poppins, Bedknobs and Broomsticks, Song of the South, etc. are not live-action films because they are, at least in part, animated. Some film buffs and scholars call them hybrid films, although that term is fraught with some definitional challenges as well. Still, I like to use it to describe the live-action/animation combination found in Who Framed Roger Rabbit and the films mentioned above. All these films are entertaining, and so I was almost relieved to be able to take them off my list of possible answers due to this technicality.

[Sneezie]

The Original Parent Trap (I love it when they "submarine" the hopeful stepmother :rotfl2: ) with Mary Poppins as a close second

[UKVermonter]

I hope I'm right with the choice and I think it was a Disney movie, but I liked "The Kid" with Bruce Willis, he said when he made the movie he wanted something his children could watch that he starred in without the blood and gore he was use to making.

[SarahK]

It's hard to chose just one! I love Pirates, of course, for the yumminess of Johnny Depp, but aside from that: original Parent Trap, Summer Magic, and Watcher in the Woods. and Candleshoe! :sunny:

[EEYOREMAMA]

Definitely in order:
Song of the South
POTC Dead Man's Chest
Mary Poppins
Chronicles of Narnia
Treasure Island
The Moonspinners
The Incredible Journey
Pollyana
The Happiest Millionaire
Follow Me Boys
Bedknobs and Broomsticks

OMG did I have another blonde moment? Was I only suppose to only pick one. I'm sorry, I can't. In fact I can keep going, but I'll stop now. :teeth:

[allaboutmm]

I would say for me it is escape to witch mountain. I loved that as a kid!!! :Pinkbounc

Hey totally forgot about that movie! Not my favorite, but good movie! My favorite is the orginal Parent Trap w/ Haley Mills :) :). The orginal Herbie is at the top of the list also!

[dyankee47@clearwire.]

When I read the question my very first thought was "Old Yeller", but I can't leave it at that. So.......... I have to also include "Mary Poppins", "The Parent Trap" (both versions), "The Santa Claus", "National Treasure" and so many , many more.

[gurleym]

Would have to be Pirates of the Carribean. Both of them. Can't wait until the second comes out on DVD.

[epcotking]

POTC 1&2

But one of my all time favorite movies....COOL RUNNINGS!

[kalozois]

man im the only one who liked BRINK? damn...

Thats and remember the titans also very good... wait a second... how could i forget... THE MIGHTY DUCKS!!! oh man u guys deserve to have your dinners taken away for not one person mentioning the mighty ducks, oh god man that was why i started playing hockey and skating.. i owe lots to that film!

my answer - The Mighty Ducks, D2 Mighty Ducks - 3rd one was a bit strange...


KaLo

[TBGOES2DISNEY]

This thread is making me so nostalgic.... Remember when Sunday nights were always "The Wonderful World of Disney"? Remember when the Disney channel used to always play tons of Disney movies and still had a Mickey Mouse Club? I miss that! Those were my favorites to watch. And Hayley Mills and Annette were so much more wholesome and better role models than Lindsey Lohan and Anne Hathaway!

I love a lot of those movies all of you have listed. I didn't see Flight of the Navigator listed. I thought the boy in the movie was so cute when I was a kid! lol

I also loved a lot of Mickey cartoons... like Mickey and the Beanstalk. How did that song go... "In the top right pocket, you'll find the key..." That song still plays in my head - missing words, of course. I also love "Mickey's Christmas Carol."

Flubber was cute! I love Disney movies!

Oh, and for the person who mentioned the Gnome Mobile... "The Gnome Mobile, the gnome mobile, we're riding along in the gnome mobile. Oh what a wonderful thing to feel! Riding along in the gnome mobile!"

[LubsPoohBear]

Pirates of the Carribbean :cloud9: mmmm capt. jack

[GoofyBaby]

I'm a sucker for the classics! I Loved

Absent Minded Professor
Pollyanna
Parent Trap (Hayley Mills)
Old Yeller
Swiss Family Robinson
Summer Magic

But I also loved Chronicles of Narnia!

[ThreeAngels]

:cloud9: Wow! When I first saw this thread, my first thought was Mary Poppins. I LOVE that movie.

But, after reading through all these posts, I also must add:

Remember the Titans
The Princess Diaries
POTC
The Santa Clause
The Parent Trap (I loved both versions & totally agree, too bad Lindsay Lohan turned out as she did. She was SO cute.)

As a kid, I adored Escape to Witch Mountain and the Herbie movies.

LOVED hearing about little girls' reactions to Julie Andrews. She's my favorite actress EVER.

What a super idea for a thread! :sunny:

[MagicalMomAZ]

Parent Trap! ...Mary Poppins a close 2nd.

[DisneyBride94]

Has to be POTC-DMC... Betcha can't guess why. :) :love: pirate:

My DS (age 6) loves Mary Poppins...

[amanDUHx9]

Remember the Titans is one of my most favorite movies!! And of course, who wouldn't love Pirates!? :)

[MrsMork]

There is an old, old one called Night Crossing that we loved. I don't know if it is even available anymore.

[ariel75]

I would say for me it is escape to witch mountain. I loved that as a kid!!! :Pinkbounc
:goodvibes i like the old herbie films mary poppins return to oz and the haunted mansion god i could go on forever :banana: :hmghost:

[Mindy Marie]

What a great thread!
POTC all the way!!! But Mary Poppins, Pollyanna, Parent Trap,...........all of them old classics are favorites!

[mdhkitten]

The original Parent Trap, Horsemasters, The Ugly Dachshund, and The Horse in the Gray Flannel Suit. :)

[mdhkitten]

Does anyone remember the old scary movie with I think Betty Davis in it. It was a Disney movie, and now that I think about it, it seems strange that they would make a scary movie (at least I thought it was!). Maybe it was called "The Watcher in the Woods". Does that ring a bell?
