Basil the Great Mouse Detective.
I'm a big Sherlock Holmes fan and I think that the film does well to capture Holmes' personality and characteristics. I also enjoy the references to the Basil Rathbone films and to the Sign of the Four novel.
I love Basil and how quickly he moves around the scenes.
I always feel a little disappointed that it never had a sequel while the majority of other Disney animated movies did.
Edit: Which is your favourite, AGXStarseed?
Nice choice.
As for my favourite, I can't really say that I have one. I have to be in the 'right mood' in order to watch one and all the Disney movies have things in them that I like - whether its the story, the characters, the music, certain scenes, etc.
For example I love
Dumbo,
Peter Pan and
The Rescuers Down Under for the flying scenes as they just give you that feeling of total freedom and excitement to the point where you wish you were soaring along with them.
But then there were other things I liked. For Dumbo, I loved the music and visuals as well as seeing Dumbo eventually triumph over great adversity to eventually be respected by everyone and also reunited with his mother.
For Peter Pan, I again love the songs and also the comedy - particularly that
scene in the cave with Hook and Tick Tock the Crocodile (cracks me up every time).
For the Rescuers Down Under, Marahute is just such a beautiful and lovable character despite never speaking a word, while there's some good comedy scenes such as when Joanna is stealing Mcleach's eggs or any scene with Wilbur in it (John Candy really made that role).
I also like the Legend of Sleepy Hollow for the characters - mainly because when you're a child, the characters seem to follow that standard stereotype; Ichabod been the innocent and charming protagonist, Katrina been the beautiful maiden and Brom been the bully. However, when you watch it again as an adult, you see each of the character's personalities are more life-like and blurred.
For instance, Brom (despite been a bully) is seen as a town hero of sorts who just likes playing pranks and having a laugh. Katrina, despite appearing to admire Ichabod, is really only using him to make Brom - who she already loves - jealous as Ichabod is more of an intellectual match for his rival.
Ichabod, as the Nostalgia Critic points out in the first video at around 38:33, is a bit of a dick - loving Katrina for her beauty but mainly been interested in her money (to the point of imagining her wealthy father already been out of the picture).
Finally, another thing I liked about it was the Headless Horseman. He gave me nightmares as a kid, but that character is epic despite only been on screen such a short time after building up to his appearance; Not to mention that laugh of his is awesome.
Honestly, I could carry on for ages but this post is already really long and I think I've made my point.
