My two cents:
The Disney subliminal messages? Eh, who cares.
I like some of the Disney sequels. Bambi 2 was actually okay. Yeah, I saw it. It's nowhere near as good as the first, of course, but it was a sweet little movie. Better than most Disney sequels. The other good ones are the Aladdin sequels and The Lion King ones. I liked them a lot.
My favorite Disney movie ever is The Hunchback of Notre Dame. It's so amazing. The music is some of the best I've ever heard, and it's so much darker than you'd expect from a Disney movie. It deals with issues like lust, the French, knives, burning people alive, and the villain uses the word "hell". Not for the kiddies!
Does anyone remember that movie Dinosaur? I liked it.
It's not even worth comparing Pixar movies to the traditionally animated Disney movies.
