Disney movies

It's impossible to include all Disney movies in my 'best movies of all time' rundown, because the full-length features
would need their own chart. Many other Disney movies - especially The Aristocats* (1970), Peter Pan* (1953),
Cinderella* (1950), Sleeping Beauty* (1959), Robin Hood* (1973), The Rescuers* (1977) and The Rescuers Down Under* (1991) -
are thumbs-up worthy.

Most Pixar movies are masterpieces and can be considered "safe blind buys".

Rather disappointing - but, don't get me wrong, they do have redeeming qualities - Pocahontas* (1995), Dinosaur (2000)
and most straight-to-video sequels. Best example : The Return Of Jafar* (1994) (good story, sloppy execution).
