September 2012 pickups
wiggy:
Do you have The Little Mermaid: Penis Edition yet?
sheep2001:
@AO007
Black cauldron
Sword in the stone
Treasure planet
Rescuers
Fox and the hound
Aristocats
They are all great - although it's quite some years since I actually watched any
Retro Deckades:
You know, I think I may be in the minority here, but I freakin' loved Disney's Hercules. I plan on buying that on DVD should Disney ever get off their asses and release a nice edition.
wiggy:
I can't get into the Disney stuff, especially not the modern films (Little Mermaid and up). Too formulaic and that formula doesn't do anything for me :/
I do love me some Pixar though (minus Cars 2 and Brave).

My current Disney DVD collection;
Oliver & Company
Lion King
Dinosaur
Atlantis: The Lost Empire
Lilo & Stitch
Three Musketeers (Mickey+Donald+Goofy)
Goofy Movie (In the mail)
Toy Story (DVD+BR combo)
Toy Story 2 (DVD+BR combo)
Toy Story 3
Monsters Inc.
Up
102 Dalmations
Currently I'm going for some of the 1990's movies first, since those are what I have the most nostalgia for, as well as Snow White since it's the first Disney animated movie if I'm not mistaken.

Skipping those that sheep recommended already...
Aladdin. Just... Aladdin.
Aladdin 3. You can skip 2, it was usual straight to video junk quality (more a pilot for the TV series than anything), but 3 is a real deal.
Lion King 1 1/2. (or, as it is less confusingly named outside of the US - Lion King 3), at least if you like Timon and Pumba. It's sort of "Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead" for The Lion King. Follows those two through the plot of the first movie in a consistently tongue-in-cheek manner. Still haven't watched Lion King 2, so can't say one way or the other there.
Rescuers Down Under. Watched this many times as a kid before I was even aware of the first one. Kinda samey, but I prefer it (might be nostalgia goggles)
Sleeping Beauty. Even if you're not into the princess stuff, this movie's just freaking beautiful.
Great Mouse Detective.
And I still haven't gotten around to seeing it, but my friends swear by Emperor's New Groove.
