what is your favorite Disney movie that is not animated?

[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.

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!

Great thread, so many good movies mentioned! 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 ) 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!

 

[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.

 

[allaboutmm]

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

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!
