| 1 | MUSIC IN YOUR SOUP DELETED SCENE |
| Posted on Monday November 5, 2012, 13:06 by crazypython |
With all the technology available nowadays and with the release of Extended Editions of Beauty & the Beast, Pocahontas, and so on they should colorize Music in Your Soup and release it on DVD or Blu-Ray instead of repackaging and sell the same product over and over. It's a wonderful song and I don't think the movie loses any pacing with it. Read More

Really interesting and was trying to guess which one had been made next - I feel as if I have now revised for a pub quiz! Great to see The Rescuers and The Rescuers Down Under get praise as these were two of my favourites growing up but I'll always remember seeing both The Little Mermaid and Beauty & The Beast at the cinema; properly magical and memorable treats.

If Native Americans and Arabs criticise Pocahontas and Aladdin, the French can certainly decry their negative portrayal in Beauty and the Beast and The Hunchback of Notre Dame. According to these films they're bigoted idiots. Read More

If you look at the list of the 50 "Classics" included within a great many of the Disney DVDs, then you are correct, it lists The Wild there, and Dinosaur is not listed.
However, I'm pretty sure that a great many people would not even consider including The Wild. The true Disney Classics have a certain standard, and as far as I'm concerned, it wasn't met in this film.
As for me, the top five have got to be Beauty and the Beast, The Lion King, Hercules, The Jungle Book, and Aladdin. I feel a trip to the cinema with my daughter is needed this weekend to see Tangled! Read More

"...the bunny rabbits and deer who turn up to help with the housekeeping in your average Disney movie."
So the Empire staff writes quick summaries of 50 Disney movies--thereby proving that housekeeping animals only actually appear in 2-3 Disney movies hey STILL feel the need to trot out this tired and inaccurate joke?
"Animated animal" does not always equal "cute" in Disney. In fact, in most cases it just equals "characters." Read More

The list is of the 50 films the Disney Corporation refer to as the 'Disney Animation Canon', this is not a list compiled by Empire. So stop moaning about it, its not their fault. I personally thought it was a fantastic article/list. Maybe be a bit more detailed in some of the more obscure films, but then again it gives me some incentive to research them off my own back. And seriously, having a dig at some typos? Some people have far too much time on their hands. Well done Empire, i loved it Read More

As the writer of the entries on 'Sleeping Beauty' and 'Dalmatians,' apologies for the mispelling of 'de Vil.' Re murrakmr's complaint, he rightly points out that Kells is based on illuminated manuscripts. However, I'd still argue there are parallels between the art styles of Kells and Beauty; most obviously in that they both recreate medieval ideas of perspective. Read More

Can't wait to see Disney animated feature No. 50. However this seems odd to me my local cineworld is screening this in 3D and that lantern scene is meant to be good but I can't see this in 3D as my local cineworld has opted to include audio description(A D) for all the 3D shows. Imagine that, would you like to purchase a pair of 3D glasses? Er no I am blind. Okay that will be a tenner please.
hilst it does seen a bit odd that they would have AD on 3D film that's no barrier to you seeing it, the AD is carried on an infrared signal available via hearing aids or special headphones like you get in museums and galleries, it's not part of the main audio. Read More

| 20 | Aladdin, without a doubt |
| Posted on Friday January 28, 2011, 10:13 by Boromirs Redemption |
Even though I'm a pretty cynical individual, I do really have a soft spor for Disney films. I haven't seen all 50 yet, but I certainly intend to. My top five (in no particular order until number one) are: Robin Hood (the one that most reminds me of growing up - I used to watch this all the time as a kid), Beauty and the Beast (stunning animation, amazing score), The Lion King (obviously), The Little Mermaid (Sebastian - genius). But number one is definitely Aladdin for me. I remember seeing at the pictures with my family like it was yesterday and being blown away by the frenzied Genie. The songs are great, the hero and heroine aren't actually wooden like a lot Disney leads, the colours are memorable and the story bounces along well. But it would be merely an ordinary one without Robin Williams, I've never laughed so much at anything Disney have done, because of him, and the animation that went with him. Brilliant stuff.

| 24 | It's "de Vil", not "de Ville" |
| Posted on Thursday January 27, 2011, 21:44 by dayboy76 |
As a life-long Disney fan I'm absolutely loving this feature!! However, as One Hundred and One Dalmatians has been my favourite Disney film since I was 8-years-old and I tend to err on the pedantic side, I always get annoyed when Cruella de Vil is referred to as "Cruella de Ville". The whole point of the name (in Dodie Smith's original novel, and therefore also the film) is that it is essentially "devil", and NOT that she is French and "of town". It winds me up almost as much as when I see Dalmatians incorrectly spelt as "Dalmations".
OK, rant over. Love you Empire!! Read More

This isn't a list by Empire writers, this is an official list by Disney themselves so stop complaining about certain films being missing etc. So no Mary Poppins, Song of the South, Bedknobs and Broomsticks and the great Enchanted and no Roger Rabbit. Official Disney animated films only annoyingly means missing some of those good films and featuring crap like Make Mine Music and Dinosaur. Oh and Meet the Robinsons is awful!!! Read More

And why not? This story was a dependable one - one of the last great fairytales that remained untouched, transplanted from Europe to a strangely appropriate US setting. After all, if you're telling a story about frogs, where to tell it but in a town surrounded by swamps? And if you're headed to New Orleans anyway, it makes sense to set it in the jazz age and bring in a trumpet-playing crocodile. Er. Maybe.
