Aladdin is the best Disney film IMO. Well, of the old school ones before Pixar came along with Toy Story.
The Lion King is not far behind though.
Disney is awesome tbh.
Magic Kingdom.

I don't include the Pixar films when I mention Disney films.Number 1 for me is Beauty And The Beast. Aladdin comes in 3rd.Originally Posted by Master Splinter
Some of the late 80s and 90s (up to Mulan) Disney films are great, but the masterpieces from the original golden period are just that slight level above.
Snow White, Pinocchio, Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty, Dumbo, Lady And The Tramp, 101 Dalmations and others from the same period were amazing for just their animation. Like Pixar today, you'd see a different style in virtually every film. And even though a lot of the stories could be seen as butcherings of folk tales and classic childrens' books, it didn't really matter when they all came together in an incredible whole, which are still unsurpassed today (outside of Studio Ghibli's work).
The best ones - Snow White, Pinocchio, Sleeping Beauty, Beauty And The Beast, The Lion King - all have quite multi-layered stories too and a sense of menace, which not only appeals to all ages but most studios today forget is what all the classic kids stories/films need.
Monsters Inc. is the best one, btw.
Pixar, tbf.
Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy was a slight disappointment. I didn't think it would be a James Bond film, but I also didn't expect it to be slower-paced than the offspring of a tortoise and a snail.
I haven't seen the original TV adaptation, but it does seem like a narrative that would be better suited to an episodic structure to allow all the little details to develop and sink in.
Despite this, it had a great style and good performances from Gary Oldman, Mark Strong and Bendedict Cumberbatch especially.
Accept it for what it is and it's a well-made - but not always involving or exciting - film.
