Disney Animated Classics Movie Draft (Rerun w/ Harrison Fredericks)

move into our movie draft section. So.

Yeah, if you're tuning into this segment for the first time, basically how our movie drafts work is they're kind of like, you know, I'm a big fantasy football guy, and so I'm used to like this idea of drafting players. But if you're not familiar with that, it's basically just think about like you're picking your you're picking your kickball team out on the playground. Like you want to pick.

the best players. Like you don't want the kid that like is going to whiff on the ball every time. You want the kid that's going to like kick that thing way out into the outfield and get you some runs in. So maybe that's a better analogy for some people of how this works. But basically we're going to be drafting Disney animated classics to kind of go along with our Disney talk. Now Disney animated classics, it's not just any animated Disney movie.

Disney kind of has these movies starting way back with Snow White was the very first Disney animated classic quote unquote. And they have through the years kind of started they've dubbed these specific movies as they've released them. These are our animated classics. And so at this point, there are 61 the first obviously, like I said, being Snow White and the most recent one was strange world.

Eli Price (01:36:08.707)
which came out last year, which I have not seen. I have not seen Strange World. Yeah. Yeah.

Harrison Fredericks (01:36:13.438)
Yeah, I did not see that one either. I don't think it got a lot of good press when it came out, and I think that really hindered people from seeing it. And then, yeah.

Eli Price (01:36:20.982)
Yeah, so.

Yeah, so I have actually seen almost all of these. I'll get to why in my recommendations section. I have a fun recommendation, but I've seen, I think there's only four that I haven't seen out of all of these. Yeah, so.

Harrison Fredericks (01:36:35.755)
Okay.

Harrison Fredericks (01:36:41.142)
Wow. Dude, that's crazy.

I mean, hey, I was a Disney child growing up too, so I think we may have some overlap. There are a couple in there from maybe like the 70s and 80s that I just totally missed, but I'm pretty familiar with this list as well.

Eli Price (01:36:48.212)
Yeah, absolutely.

Eli Price (01:37:00.007)
Yeah, so we're going to jump into a Harry, you're the guest for today. So I'm going to give you the first pick in the draft, which it bites. It comes back to bite me too. Um, in past drafts. So yeah, go ahead. Number one, what are you picking?

Harrison Fredericks (01:37:07.191)
Oh, you shouldn't do that.

Harrison Fredericks (01:37:13.1)
Yeah. Dude, I man my all time favorite animated movie. It just so happens to be a Disney classic from the 90s. I grew up watching it. I it was so important to me as a child that I would literally act out the characters. But so I'll explain in a sec. I'm drafting the Lion King.

Eli Price (01:37:34.453)
Yeah.

Eli Price (01:37:39.603)
Yes. Yes.

Harrison Fredericks (01:37:39.73)
as number one overall, like no contest. And I'll explain that the, I was a child acting out as a lion, okay? This is how, that's how important it was to me. Like I literally would crawl around on the floor with a friend of mine and I would be Simba and she would be Nala and we would just like act out the movie because it was so awesome. It was so epic. I mean, Hans Zimmer composed the score, one of the all time great composers.

Eli Price (01:37:49.687)
Ha ha ha ha.

Eli Price (01:37:58.051)
Mm-hmm.

Eli Price (01:38:06.404)
Oh yeah.

Harrison Fredericks (01:38:09.698)
Composing for a children's movie, it's a combination that you would never expect, but it just creates this epic children's masterpiece. And I watched it a couple months ago, and I was just reminded as an adult, how special it is to me. So I'm drafting that one overall, first overall.

Eli Price (01:38:15.104)
Right.

Eli Price (01:38:28.513)
Yeah.

Eli Price (01:38:31.775)
Yeah, I mean that to be honest that probably would have been my number one pick two. Um, I grew up with the lion king, you know, I was, um, I think I was three years old when the lion king came out in 94 and so, um, man, I, you know, I grew up just watching this movie, uh, loving it and, uh, actually recently, um, when my son turned four.

we were like hey when you turn four we can do like a movie night and We watched the Lion King for his movie night So he's seen he's like watched other movies before but that was our first time It's like he gets to stay up late a little bit later eat some popcorn with us and watch a movie and man he he actually got a Simba like a stuffed Simba for Christmas and he

He sleeps with it every night. Like he loves it. Like he'll walk in the room and be like, daddy look and he's like, like kissing his Simba. Like, so yeah, the Lion King is a special to me from my childhood and you know, it's cool to see it like my son like loves it too, already like at four years old. So yeah, you know, great choice. I'm gonna go with another one.

Harrison Fredericks (01:39:38.065)
That's great.

Eli Price (01:39:58.483)
from the 90s as my number two choice. It's actually, I've been working on a rankings list for all these, and I actually had one move up to number one that I'm going to save because I think I can get it later in the draft. But it actually moved above Lion King for me just as an adult. Putting trying to put my nostalgia aside, I moved it up to number one, but I'll get to it. I think I can I think I can get it later.

Harrison Fredericks (01:40:13.907)
Okay, okay.

Eli Price (01:40:27.531)
But I'm gonna go with my number three on my rankings list, and that is Beauty and the Beast. I mean, it's just an incredible movie. The songs are incredible. The story is interesting and engaging. Angela Lansbury, like...

I don't know if you, when the last time you like listened to that like main song, uh, I can't, is it just called Beauty and the Beast? I think? Um, but um.

Harrison Fredericks (01:41:03.882)
I think so. I should know that because this is like probably my second favorite animated movie.

Eli Price (01:41:10.515)
Yeah, yeah, so it's I mean, I actually like really like tuned in the last time I heard it and like listen to the words and it's like it's actually like an incredibly written song. So yeah, Beauty and the Beast. Making my wife proud. It's her favorite Disney movie. So she she loves reading books and so she's like I am Bell. So making.

making her proud. Yeah, absolutely. So rough exterior, handsome underneath, you know. But yeah, Beauty and the Beast is going to be my number one pick. So where are you going to go number two?

Harrison Fredericks (01:41:39.901)
That's great. Hey, that makes you the beast, right? Let's go Eli.

Harrison Fredericks (01:41:57.526)
Dude, that's a really great question. There's, I mean, there's so many from the 90s that I could pick just because that's what I'm the most familiar with, but I don't wanna sleep on the early days like when Walt was in the studio drawing. So I don't know a good spot for this one, but this one is Walt, if I remember correctly, it's Walt Disney's last movie.

Eli Price (01:42:06.371)
Sure, yeah.

Eli Price (01:42:14.039)
Yeah. Yeah, absolutely.

Harrison Fredericks (01:42:26.526)
It's the last one that he was involved in. And it was, it has just such a classy animated feel to it that as a kid, it's recognizable even to like young children that like, man, this is just special. And I'm gonna go 101 Dalmatians, but I think I wanna draft it like number four. I don't wanna, you know, I wanna leave some room.

Eli Price (01:42:26.775)
Okay.

Eli Price (01:42:45.716)
Mm-hmm.

Eli Price (01:42:48.957)
Oh yeah.

Harrison Fredericks (01:42:56.646)
I think there's some better ones in there, but I just really want to get this one on the list before I forget. So I'm going to take 101 Dalmatians at slot number four.

Eli Price (01:43:02.721)
Yeah, sure.

Eli Price (01:43:07.699)
Okay, okay, so you're taking it here as number two off the board, but it would probably be number four on your, like, if you were to rank your list here. Okay.

Harrison Fredericks (01:43:16.203)
on my list. Yeah.

Yes. So is that what you did with your number three or you took Beauty and the Beast number one on your draft?

Eli Price (01:43:25.759)
No, I took it number one. So like, I'm basically like, I'm saying it's number three on my rankings list, but I'm gonna go ahead and take it, so because I felt like you might take it if I don't take it now, sort of thing. But yeah.

Harrison Fredericks (01:43:27.948)
Okay.

Harrison Fredericks (01:43:33.412)
Oh, okay. I missed that part.

Harrison Fredericks (01:43:38.594)
Okay, gotcha. Yeah, see I've never been in a draft before so I mean fantasy football that counts I guess

Eli Price (01:43:45.712)
Yeah, no worries. Yeah, yeah. So just think of it as that. Like I want to take this movie before Eli can get it. Because, yeah.

Harrison Fredericks (01:43:55.73)
Okay, so then in the spirit of a draft, I should probably move 101 dimensions to number 2, correct? Let's do that, okay? I don't want to break this system.

Eli Price (01:44:02.555)
Yeah, yeah, yeah. All right. Yeah, I think I think one hundred and one Dalmatians is a great pick. It's pretty high up on my list. I have all my like rankings. So like basically in letterboxed, I have my rankings list. And so I'm kind of like using that as a as a basis for knowing what I really love and want to pick. So I'm going to go with my second pick. I'm going to go back even further.

All the way back to 1940 and pick one of my favorites in Pinocchio It's

Eli Price (01:44:45.299)
It's amazing to see when I watched Pinocchio a couple years ago, it was the first time I'd seen it probably since I was a kid. And what really stood out to me was like Pinocchio was an animated movie made in the in 1940, but it like has camera movements like you're not just watching like drawings, like frames of drawings move like it has like.

camera move it's like it's following Pinocchio and the wolf like down the road and I was just like this is incredible like that they were able to create this like this illusion of camera movements like in 1940 with their animation and then on top of that just like the story to me is is just so engaging just like that idea of like

What does it mean to be a human? Like, what does it mean to be a real, like a real boy? It's just really like engaging to me and intriguing to think through, like, you know, what is it that Pinocchio does or decides to do that makes him real, makes him human, that sort of thing that we all think about. So, yeah, I'm going Pinocchio. So.

Harrison Fredericks (01:46:06.966)
Nice, it's a good pick.

Eli Price (01:46:07.735)
So yeah, you've got Lion King and 100 Dalmatians. I got Biggie and the Beast and Pinocchio. Where are you going next?

Harrison Fredericks (01:46:14.466)
All right, I think I gotta go music, okay? Because musicals were a very integral part of my film watching experience as a kid. I mentioned that in the very beginning of this podcast, but music to me is storytelling. So if you can have a score that is composed or an original soundtrack that is just off the charts, it's gotta be on the list for me. So for number three, I'm gonna take Tarzan.

the power of Phil Collins is undeniable, at least in the 90s, it's undeniable. I know he's bankrupt now, but in the 90s, this guy was off the charts. Like, I could probably sing the entire soundtrack to myself. And I know that some people, like, don't like the fact that it is just Phil Collins, like, singing the entire movie, but I'm okay with it. Like, he's really talented.

Eli Price (01:46:44.822)
OK.

Eli Price (01:46:49.277)
Yeah, sure, sure.

Eli Price (01:46:55.479)
Oh yeah.

Harrison Fredericks (01:47:14.43)
Um, he has that one song that everybody knows, you know, I can hear it calling in the air tonight, whatever that one's called. Uh, so just like listening to that on repeat, I could do that. And the, I also had a, uh, Nintendo 64 video game for Tarzan. So that only like boosted my fandom of Tarzan, that story. So it's up there.

Eli Price (01:47:20.288)
Right. Yeah.

Eli Price (01:47:33.164)
Nice.

Harrison Fredericks (01:47:41.278)
It's the music, the music is what does it for me. So Tarzan number three.

Eli Price (01:47:45.547)
That's fair. Yeah, I actually had a Lion King game on Super Nintendo when I was a kid. So that might age me a little bit with the Super Nintendo reference. But yeah, Tarzan is one of those that I loved as a kid. I remember seeing it in theaters. I have this memory of coming out of the theater and I was probably like... I think that was like 99-ish. So...

Harrison Fredericks (01:47:55.519)
Hahaha!

Eli Price (01:48:15.911)
Was about eight years old and coming out of theater like wanting to like run like ape like like Tarzan and stuff Yeah Yes, which what a cool like what a cool like thing to watch but like watching it recently me and my wife watched it not that long ago and Man, I just didn't connect with it the same it's one of those that like just didn't age as well with me and

Harrison Fredericks (01:48:22.922)
You wanted to slide down some vines on your feet? Yeah. Ha ha ha.

Eli Price (01:48:45.247)
I don't know, me and my wife have kind of fought about it and it's probably a hot take, but I don't really think Phil Collins' music works for the story. And you know, I get why it works for some people, but for me, it's like he kind of has like one trick and like it's just that same thing. Like it's that very emotional synthy like

boom boom boom boom like and you're supposed to like connect with that but like Tarzan the story has this like pretty wide emotional range and like For me when I watched this time One of the things that was like discombobulating was like there there's these like wide range of emotions going on on screen, but then like it's just like Phil Collins with his like one trick and

And he does it well like don't get me wrong like Phil you you hear a Phil Collins song And you know it's Phil Collins like that's there's something to say about that But it just didn't work for me this time in this movie, and maybe I just wasn't in the mood for it You know maybe I need to watch it again the yet

Harrison Fredericks (01:50:00.054)
Maybe you need to have a really large meal from Cane's to really just like put you in the mood.

Eli Price (01:50:02.899)
Yes, to relax. Yeah, but yeah, let's uh, let's keep going. I'm gonna pick my third one here um And i'm gonna go with Mulan Mulan for me, um is another one that you know, I remember vividly from my childhood. Um And uh, man it it has incredible music it has a cool story it has um the song be a man, which is just

a banger to just sing out loud in the shower, you know, and so, yeah, Mulan is it's really good and really to like just what an incredible female character. Like I feel like Disney, I feel like Mulan, like they've had tons of great female characters through the years. But to me, Mulan was just like, I don't know, she's like the

definitive, strong female Disney character for me, I think. But, you know...

Harrison Fredericks (01:51:07.574)
Yeah, she's probably the only like Disney princess that kind of fights. I mean, I know they've started to introduce more of that fighting into the Disney princesses with like Elsa, Moana, things like that. But like the OG Disney princesses, Mulan was probably the most like BA.

Eli Price (01:51:12.627)
Yeah, yeah, like, Anna's good at it. Ha ha.

Eli Price (01:51:19.719)
Right. Yeah, Raya especially.

Eli Price (01:51:28.955)
Oh yeah, for sure. So yeah, that's my pick. Going with Mulan.

Harrison Fredericks (01:51:34.718)
Yeah, that's a good one. Also soundtrack, soundtrack is fire on that one. Plus Eddie Murphy as playing a dragon, come on. Who would not be a fan of that?

Eli Price (01:51:37.831)
Yeah. Oh yeah.

Eli Price (01:51:42.495)
Hehehehe

Yeah.

Alright, where are you going next? This is your fourth pick.

Harrison Fredericks (01:51:51.366)
All right, so number four. So it's got to be something like mid tier because I think some of the best ones have already been taken. But I think there's still room for some 90s love. I might be able to get some older ones in at the very end. So I think I'm going to try to work some more 90s in before you sweep them up. I think.

Eli Price (01:52:14.793)
Alright.

Harrison Fredericks (01:52:21.294)
Pocahontas was legit as a child. Like I, because I had super blonde hair as a kid, I like thought I was John Smith. And yeah, I just like, that is another one. I think the soundtrack for, I think pretty much all of my picks at this point has been a central theme. So that.

Eli Price (01:52:31.884)
Hehehehe

Yeah, sure.

Harrison Fredericks (01:52:49.614)
Could be a tell of like kind of where my head is at for most of these movies. But.

Eli Price (01:52:49.732)
Sure, yeah.

Eli Price (01:52:53.939)
Yeah. Yeah, Pocahontas for me is like the thing I like most about it is the music. So yeah.

Harrison Fredericks (01:53:01.054)
Yeah, I also really like the animation of kind of like the world through Pocahontas's eyes. So oh man, just like her song just around the river bend is a great one, like some really like beautiful and like 2d animation of just the forest and her interacting with it.

Eli Price (01:53:13.514)
Mm-hmm.

Eli Price (01:53:19.304)
Yeah.

Harrison Fredericks (01:53:29.318)
I also really liked the way, was it Mother Tree? Is that the name? Or, yeah, Grandmother Willow something. That animation is just like super clean looking. I love that 2D style. And I think there's just some really beautiful imagery in that movie. I know it's not historically accurate. I know that, you know, history tells a different story than what Disney tried to spin on it.

Eli Price (01:53:33.683)
Yeah, yeah, it's like Willow or something like that. Yeah. Yeah.

Eli Price (01:53:44.695)
Mm-hmm.

Eli Price (01:53:51.674)
Yeah, sure.

Eli Price (01:53:57.781)
Mm-hmm.

Harrison Fredericks (01:53:58.562)
But that being out of the equation, I think there is still something really important that it says about, you know, just the way that things like things did not go down smoothly when British settlers got over here. And so to have that relationship and to try to, I think, inspire people, especially younger people to

extend the olive branch to make peace with people who don't look like you. I think there's a really important message in that film.

Eli Price (01:54:29.865)
Yeah, sure.

Eli Price (01:54:33.387)
Yeah, yeah, it's a good pick. And there's a reason we're picking so many 90s movies because the, you know, it's called the Disney Renaissance for a reason. And man, they they really had like the hand drawn animation just like down to a T at this point is just so good. It's kind of like right after really like right after Tarzan, they start trying to mix in CGI and they had like a little period where there was.

It was awkward and they didn't, they weren't real sure what they were doing yet with the CGI animation. But yeah, the yeah, that hand drawn 90s animation is just so good. Yeah, I'm I'm struggling here. I have some that I have ranked higher, but I really want to give some more some shout out to some more unique stuff. And something that I've always like felt was just really fun. And in.

interesting, you know, like something that really intrigues me or like makes me like think about the possibilities of like what art can be is Fantasia. So this is my second movie from 1940. Man, you know, it's that series of shorts set to music with a live orchestra playing, you know, and it's just like this idea, you know, you'll have

the commentator kind of come on and say, you know, this is like what the song is called and this is what the Disney animators were thinking about when they listen to this song. And so now you're going to see it. And then you get to watch like what these animators imagined to this music like on screen. And to me, that's just like, it's really cool. And I think it's cool, you know.

I'm interested one day to show this to my kids and see, you know, if they they might, I don't know, they might just think it's boring. Or maybe they like will be able to engage with it and like see new possibilities of like what art can be like and how different art forms can mix. So, yeah, I really love Fantasia. I think it's just a unique movie and in the Disney animated classics, for sure.

Harrison Fredericks (01:56:55.826)
Yeah, that's one that is, there's very little dialogue, if I remember correctly, right? It's just like a symphony. It's like an orchestra the whole time, right?

Eli Price (01:57:02.799)
Yeah, yeah, so there's most of the most of it is just like the music and then you're watching like There's a there's a story playing out in all these little there's basically, you know a series of shorts for all intents and purposes And there's definitely like stories that you're watching play out, but it's almost like watching a silent film Uh to a degree so Um, yeah, it's really cool

Yeah, where are you going with your fifth pick?

Harrison Fredericks (01:57:35.454)
I think it's time to throw it back some oldies but some goldies. I think I got to go.

Harrison Fredericks (01:57:45.35)
Man, there's like three or four that I could go with and I could run the risk of being canceled for this pick. But I think I gotta do it. I gotta go Peter Pan for number five. I know Peter Pan has its problems. It has some problems in it.

Eli Price (01:57:55.875)
Just do it.

Okay. Okay. Yeah.

Eli Price (01:58:04.659)
Absolutely, it does. We all know it.

Harrison Fredericks (01:58:11.794)
We all have a little bit of problems with us, right? Like none of us are perfect. We all have some things that we've done or said that we regret, right? That shouldn't diminish the imaginative capability that the overarching story of Peter Pan is. And there's a reason why it's been adapted and redone so many times, is because it is like the ultimate kid's story.

Eli Price (01:58:13.923)
Ha ha ha.

Eli Price (01:58:20.779)
Right.

Eli Price (01:58:32.009)
Mm-hmm.

Harrison Fredericks (01:58:39.746)
The idea of Neverland, the idea of not growing up as a kid, I mean, that's just like heaven, right? Having an arch nemesis who is a pirate with a hook for a hand, like these are all things that kids dream of in their head without ever like really saying it. And I think Peter Pan as a story, if you can look through,

Eli Price (01:58:45.657)
Mm-hmm.

Oh yeah, for sure.

Eli Price (01:58:53.863)
Yes. Yes.

Harrison Fredericks (01:59:08.81)
the issues that it has. It's one of the all time, like classic children's stories. And I know that, is Peter Pan one of those grim stories that Disney adapted?

Eli Price (01:59:23.275)
I'm not sure, honestly. Uh, I don't know where their original story came from.

Harrison Fredericks (01:59:25.23)
Because I know that Disney, yeah, I'm not familiar with the original, like who did it first. I do know that Disney has adapted grim stories, which, you know, original source material is much darker, but I don't think this one is.

Eli Price (01:59:31.991)
Mm-hmm.

Eli Price (01:59:36.246)
Yeah.

I want to say no, but yeah. Yeah. I mean, Peter Pan is, is it's one of those stories. That's just like a classic story. And, you know, we all know that the native American sequence is just like, ah, you can't just can't do that, you know, but, but, you know, that aside, you know, it's, it's fun. It's a fun story. You know, it's interesting. It's got those themes of growing up, but.

Yeah, I think Peter Pan is a good pick. It wouldn't be... It's not high on my list, but... To pick from, but yeah, still a good pick. I'm gonna go... I think I'm gonna be able to save... My recently new favorite Disney movie for last, so... This is my, yeah, my fifth pick, so... I'm gonna save it for seven, and hopefully you don't take it. I don't think you will, but... But yeah, it might surprise people.

Harrison Fredericks (02:00:34.301)
Okay, okay.

Eli Price (02:00:38.531)
I'm gonna go with You know what I'm gonna go with the 1977 the many adventures of Winnie the Pooh Man, I watched this Movie I think I've watched it Several times at this point because there was a period where my son wanted to watch it every time we would watch something and you know, he

He doesn't really watch the whole thing. So you'll watch part of it and then cut it off and then watch the rest later. But yeah, it's it's just a good it just is a feel good movie. And then you get the moment at the very end with Christopher Robin and Winnie the Pooh. That's like kind of heart wrenching and like touching. And I just there the characters are also fun. It's just it's Winnie the Pooh. Like what's not to love?

Harrison Fredericks (02:01:39.03)
Yeah, Winnie the Pooh is that that's another one of those all time. Just like, man, this was so done. This was so made for children, but it also grows. It grows with you as you get older, which is that's that's pretty awesome. Sure.

Eli Price (02:01:39.107)
So yeah, that's my fifth.

Eli Price (02:01:47.849)
Oh yeah.

Eli Price (02:01:51.559)
Yeah, and not the newer one. The newer one is good because there's actually two Disney animated classics, but that 70s one is just so good. But yeah, where are you going with your sixth pick?

Harrison Fredericks (02:02:03.338)
Alright, I think I'm staying in the oldies for right now. I'm just gonna throw it out there. The rescuers.

Eli Price (02:02:13.772)
Okay.

Harrison Fredericks (02:02:14.518)
This one, there are probably two other people. Now I'm gonna say one other person who's my age who has seen this movie and it's my sister. And the reason why is because this movie is not, it's not on anyone's radar, okay? The only reason it's on my radar is because like, we were just a Disney house growing up. So anything,

Eli Price (02:02:25.123)
Okay.

Eli Price (02:02:35.648)
Yeah, that's true.

Eli Price (02:02:41.621)
Sure. Yeah.

Harrison Fredericks (02:02:44.262)
that my parents watched when they were younger was on. This movie came out in the 70s, right?

Eli Price (02:02:55.679)
Yeah, it was 77. Same, actually same year as Winnie the, many adventures of Winnie the Pooh, yeah.

Harrison Fredericks (02:02:57.762)
77

So yeah, my parents were not like, they weren't kids, they weren't babies in the mid 70s. They were like elementary school age at that point, I believe. But yeah, I think that that's the reason this movie trickled down to us, is because like they liked it. So they were like, hey, watch this. And I mean, I think it's a really cool adventure. It's one of those just very simple.

Eli Price (02:03:21.495)
Sure. Yeah.

Harrison Fredericks (02:03:30.226)
Uh, not too much to handle kids movies and there's

Eli Price (02:03:34.311)
Yeah, there's not like a lot that you're it's just like an adventure movie

Harrison Fredericks (02:03:39.062)
There's it's a very simple and gentle adventure movie from the 70s about mice who help a girl escape her crazy aunt who wants to abuse her to get a diamond like it's it's so straightforward. There's nothing complex about it and I think it has a real yes she like rides alligators the crazy aunt like rides alligators like for fun.

Eli Price (02:03:53.844)
Right.

Eli Price (02:03:58.327)
Like, bizarre, but straightforward.

Harrison Fredericks (02:04:07.786)
which they should probably remake that and like put it in LaughYet or something. Like make that the setting, that'd be fun. But yeah, that's my number six.

Eli Price (02:04:11.643)
Yeah, they could shoot it. Well, I'll be an extra in that. Yeah, I mean, if it is, if Disney is going to make any all this money off these remakes, I might as well get some of it. Yeah. But yeah, rescue is OK. That's one that I've that I watched in the not too distant past that I thought was fine. You know, I thought it was not.

Harrison Fredericks (02:04:23.214)
Might as well.

Eli Price (02:04:38.999)
It wasn't terrible, not my favorite, but you know, it is just a very simple story for sure. Um, yeah, so number, this is my sixth pick where we're nearing the end here. Uh, I feel like.

Man, it's hard because I want to make sure I hit enough kind of eras to get like a versatile kind of list. I think what I'm going to do here is go with one from 1951 that's just kind of like a trip of a movie in Alice in Wonderland. It's just like...

It's sort of like, you know, The Rescuers is like straightforward, simple movie. Um, and to me, I guess Alice in Wonderland is not, not necessarily simple or straightforward, but like, uh, it doesn't have a lot of peripheral stuff going on is just kind of like you're in this strange world and you don't know what's going to happen. Um, and, uh, I don't know to me, that's, uh, interesting.

And I think it's like I think it brings something to the table that like not a lot of Disney movies do It's just a very different story a very different sort of fantastical strange Almost like Charmingly scary in a way that a lot of Disney stuff isn't You know, you've got the Cheshire cat showing up So yeah to me it's just

It's just a standout. It's interesting and unique among all these movies. So I'm gonna go with yeah, Alice in Wonderland. Yeah.

Harrison Fredericks (02:06:37.614)
Cool. I honestly, I don't think I've really seen that one all the way through. Like I've seen bits and pieces, but I don't think I've sat all the way through it. So I should probably add that to my list.

Eli Price (02:06:42.92)
Really? Okay.

Eli Price (02:06:51.123)
Yes, absolutely you should.

Eli Price (02:06:57.707)
All right, what you got last? This is your last one.

Harrison Fredericks (02:07:01.022)
Last one. So should I go with the solid nine, should I go in the Renaissance where I know I can get another solid pick or should I do something a little riskier? I mean, I feel like the rescuers was pretty risky, but maybe. I'm not sure. I don't know.

Eli Price (02:07:16.263)
Yes, absolutely. You, I didn't tell you this, but I am going to make a poll pitting our picks against each other. So keep that in mind when you're making this last pick, what's going to set your, your list over the edge to beat mine.

Harrison Fredericks (02:07:22.622)
Okay. Perfect. Yeah. I.

Harrison Fredericks (02:07:32.427)
Yeah, I think I have my risky pick, so maybe I should go with a safer one. And I'm gonna make this pick and I'm only gonna say one word, okay? The word is genie. I'm going with Aladdin. Robin Williams is, he's not Aladdin, but he is Aladdin, you know what I'm saying? Like

Eli Price (02:07:49.288)
Okay. Yeah, I'll add it.

Eli Price (02:07:57.577)
Right. Yeah.

Harrison Fredericks (02:07:59.51)
The amount of laughter I get from watching Aladdin, just because Robin Williams is in it, is absolutely the only reason I should ever watch that movie. Jafar is great. I actually do like Jafar as a villain. He may be one of my favorite Disney villains. I think he is like a sinister, just evil as all evil could be. And...

Eli Price (02:08:15.436)
OK.

Sure, yeah.

Eli Price (02:08:27.135)
Hmm.

Harrison Fredericks (02:08:28.638)
It's funny though, because I'm not really saying much about Aladdin, because I don't think he's really like that dynamic of a hero. Of course he did fumbling. Yes, he is the I guess gullible idiot maybe that we just sort of are like, yeah, dude, you'll get it at some point. But yeah, I'm just so locked in whenever Genie is on the screen.

Eli Price (02:08:33.365)
Yeah.

Eli Price (02:08:41.591)
He's a fumbling hero, you know.

Eli Price (02:08:52.073)
Mm-hmm.

Harrison Fredericks (02:08:59.086)
And also whenever Jafar is there, because he's just like causing trouble and he's just so sinister, I like him as a villain. So I'm gonna go Aladdin and hopefully that is like a solid rounding pick. I'm sure a lot of people would put that one way higher, but I think this gives me a good, a good safe pick to end on.

Eli Price (02:09:03.064)
Yeah.

Eli Price (02:09:14.227)
Yeah, sure.

Eli Price (02:09:19.771)
Oh yeah, for sure. And you know, there's, um, there's the Aladdin's another one with just great songs, you know, um, you know, it starts off with, I can't, I can't think of the words to it, but it's that song that's like, and it's just like such a, like, it makes you want to like get up and run around, uh, Agaba with him, you know, uh, and it makes you.

Harrison Fredericks (02:09:37.654)
Yeah, yeah.

Eli Price (02:09:46.919)
It's a very musical kind of song like it's it's a song that feels like you could see it like on Broadway Because it just has that like that kind of like dancey sing songy feel to it, which is really fun But yeah, that's probably my favorite song in that movie I don't know if that's a hot take or not, but I mean, I know there's a whole new world But that might be my least favorite song in the whole movie to be honest Yeah

Harrison Fredericks (02:09:53.415)
Oh yeah.

Harrison Fredericks (02:10:06.583)
Hahaha

Harrison Fredericks (02:10:12.434)
Yeah, that's fair. I mean, Genie's song is great. I think that one's probably my favorite.

Eli Price (02:10:21.651)
Yeah, so there's a lot of places I can go here. I've been going off my rankings list, which doesn't include all of the movies. So there's some newer ones that I really love, like Big Hero 6 is just, I love that movie. It's such a good tale of like sacrifice and like doing something for a friend, like sacrificing yourself for a friend and...

Moana to me is just like an incredible movie about like Calling like something like Beyond Yourself like out there like calling you to something greater And yeah, I love Moana But I'm going with something That might hurt me. I have this tendency in these drafts like I make these picks that End up coming back to bite me

We'll just see. We don't know how these polls are going to turn out. But we'll see what the people think. But I'm going with. Actually, another 90s movie in the hunchback of Notre Dame. I was blown away. I watched this recently, I believe. When did I see this? It was.

Like a couple months ago, me and my wife watched this and I was blown away, first of all, by like the... Just the way the camera moves through this like animated world. It's, you know, obviously like you've got these grand buildings and the cameras like moving through them. And it's actually like pretty well done animation.

And like, I think it has the best character introduction that I've ever seen in a Disney movie with like the bells of Notre Dame song, like introducing, introducing Quasimodo. It's just like, man, it's just an incredible movie and it it's very mature, I think is the thing that struck me the most. Like, it's dealing like very seriously with these like very religious themes.

Eli Price (02:12:48.763)
Um, you know, and I just was very struck by that. Um, and it, it dealt with it very maturely and, um, meaningfully. So yeah, that's my pick that has become one of my new favorite Disney movies here recently, the hunchback of Notre Dame. So I'm going to read, uh, I'm going to read back our lists. Um,

And we will be putting a poll out so the people can decide who drafted the best Disney animated classics list So, uh, haerson has the lion king 101 dalmatians tarsan pocahontas peter pan and the rescuers And I missed your last one. I didn't write it down Your last one was latin. So Yeah, that's a that's a great list

Harrison Fredericks (02:13:39.824)
Oh, it was Aladdin.

Harrison Fredericks (02:13:48.11)
Thank you, thank you. I spent a lot of time crafting it. A lot of thought went into this one.

Eli Price (02:13:48.131)
I think, yeah.

Eli Price (02:13:53.371)
Yeah, so my list is Beauty and the Beast, Pinocchio, Mulan, Fantasia, the many adventures of Winnie the Pooh, Alice in Wonderland, and the Hunchback of Notre Dame. So yeah, we'll put a poll out and let the people decide who has the best list.
