Disney Movie Tier List

 Hello there! I made another tier list!

Linky Link

List and thoughts are below. Sometimes the thoughts are actually about the movie.

Did not list the "haven't seen" tier. Did not see the point.

Tiers are not in any sort of order. I was not that determined...

 

S-Tier

Alice in Wonderland

Probably not my favorite Alice in Wonderland adaptation, but I still love this movie. For those that are curious, I think the Hallmark Alice in Wonderland is my favorite adaptation.

Peter Pan 

I love almost everything Peter Pan related so of course this movie is high on my list.

Robin Hood 

This is why there are so many furries now. Y'all made a fox Robin Hood and expected us to be cool about it?

The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh

I have a soft spot for anything Winnie the Pooh.

The Great Mouse Detective 

People do not talk about this movie enough. It is such a great movie. Five stars.

The Little Mermaid 

Watching this as an adult is weird because I am just shouting "You are a child!" at Ariel constantly.

Aladdin 

This was a favorite when I was a kid and I still love it. Though it does make me sad cause Robin Williams...

Fantasia 2000 

I love the Fantasia movies. The art and the music and ugh I love them.

The Emperor's New Groove 

This is one of my favorite Disney movies. It is just the best. Absolutely. I wanna watch it right now.

Fantasia 

Fun fact, my elementary music teacher had us watch Night on Bald Mountain every year and draw something from the short.

Atlantis: The Lost Empire 

I need to watch this again because my memory of it is a bit fuzzy, but I do remember really enjoying it.

Lilo & Stitch 

Another one of my absolute favorites.

Treasure Planet 

Space. Pirates.

Winnie the Pooh 

A book I was reading referred to a woman's genitals as her "honeypot". I haven't been able to watch Winnie the Pooh since. I hate that book... I miss Winnie the Pooh.


A-Tier

Lady and the Tramp 

Y'all remember that part where the rat got into the baby's room? That scared the shit out of me as a kid...

The Sword in the Stone 

I need to watch this movie again.

The Rescuers 

You could see boobs in the original version of this movie. The mice walk by a painting that has a topless woman at one point. Pretty sure that got edited out at some point.

The Rescuers Down Under 

I watched this movie a lot as a kid. Watched it more than the first movie.

Beauty and the Beast 

Great movie, ugliest Disney prince. At least Belle was hot.

The Lion King 

I really liked the hyenas. And Timon and Pumbaa. I really like sidekicks in movies...

Tarzan 

sometimes when I watch this movie I just think "How is he holding that vine?"

Meet the Robinsons 

That bit with the T-Rex talking about their tiny arms lives rent free in my head.

Princess and the Frog 

I love Charlotte. Tiana was great as well, but I love the sidekick characters.

Tangled 

This was one of my kiddo's favorite movies as a child. It was one of the only ones I didn't mind watching 20 times a day.

Wreck it Ralph 

I love the villain support group.

Zootopia 

This is the result of us all watching Robin Hood as children. Which means, the kids that grew up with this will also be furries. Good for them.

Moana 

I need to watch this one again. I remember liking it, but I remember very little about it.

Ralph Breaks the Internet 

I need to watch this one again, too.


B-Tier

Sleeping Beauty 

Did Maleficent really do all of this just cause she didn't get an invite to a party for a baby?

101 Dalmatians 

Puppies!

Aristocats 

Kitties!

Pocahontas 

I loved this movie as a kid... And then I learned all the inaccuracies and I kind of just side-eye it.

Mulan 

This one took me years to watch and I have no idea why. It was a good movie.

Chicken Little 

This one was about aliens, right? Shit, time to rewatch.

Frozen 

Okay. Frozen was a great movie. I really enjoyed it. But dear gods I cannot listen to Let it Go anymore. Please. No more.

Big Hero 6 

Was there a cat in this one? I feel like there was a cat. I loved that cat.

 

C-Tier

Jungle Book 

Movie was good. Preferred the live action.

Oliver and Company 

I remember very little about this one. There was a cat. And some dogs...

The Hunchback of Notre Dame 

It was okay *shrugs*


D-Tier

Cinderella 

I don't hate this movie, but it's very low on my list.

Snow White and the Seven Dwarves 

Not sure if I have mentioned this on here, but I hate Snow White's voice... Just... nails on a chalkboard to me.

Pinocchio 

There was a cat. And a goldfish...

Hercules 

I was side-eyeing this movie the minute it claimed Hera was Hercules's loving mother...

Dumbo 

*slaps hand on movie* You can fit so much racism in this movie about a flying elephant.


F-Tier

 Fox and the Hound 

Fuck this movie. Makes me sob like a baby every time I watch it.

Dinosaur 

I remember nothing about this movie aside from the fact that I watched it, so...

Home on the Range 

Didn't Rosanne voice a cow in this? I remember watching this... And that's it.

Bambi 

Me and my brother used to watch this every year during hunting season. Did not realize how fucked up that was until I was a teenager.


That's it for this one. Now I'm gonna go watch some Disney movies.

Stephy Plays Animal Crossing: New Horizons

Day 24

Last time on Hades...

Kicks was on the island. I bought a stereo.


Flick! Oh Flick!




I do! I do want to commission a piece of your art!


I caught three wasps just for this...






Yay!


Oh... I just took pictures of Flick... Oh well. 
 
That's all for this one.

 Day 23

Last time on Hades...

I finished a fossil. And that was about it.


Woo! Kicks!


Hi, Kicks! Gimme shoes.


I am indeed.



I look like Chucky... 


Some of these DIY recipes are weird. Super excited about the stone archway though. 
 
 
That's it for this one. Maybe next week I'll have something other than Animal Crossing pictures...

Stephy Watched Elementary: Season One


 I don't guess; I observe. And once I've observed, I deduce.


About/Summary

Elementary is a modern day Sherlock Holmes adaptation that aired from 2012 to 2019. Starring Jonny Lee Miller as Sherlock Holmes and Lucy Liu as Joan Watson, the duo assist the New York Police Department in solving various crimes.


Content/Trigger Warnings

Murder

Sexual Assault

Manipulation

Drug Use

Past Drug Addiction

Kidnapping

 

This is a crime drama so, yeah... Lots of crime. Mostly murder.



Characters/Casting 

I fucking adore the casting of this show.  I've been a slight fan of Jonny Lee Miller since I watched Trainspotting as a teenager so when I originally heard he was going to be Sherlock Holmes I was excited to check it out. Was not disappointed. Lucy Liu was perfect as a genderbent version of Dr. Watson.


Atmosphere/Setting

The show takes place in New York City. Mostly in the brownstone that Sherlock lives in with Watson. I want to live in that brownstone. Not with Sherlock, though. He seems like a real shitty roommate. 🤔 Actually, he might be a fun roommate. Yeah. I would live with him.


Adaptation?

Maybe an adaptation? More of an influenced by? Okay, everyone knows who Sherlock Holmes is. And this is a modern retelling. But it doesn't really follow any of the books or stories that well. There are elements and chracters there. But not enough to say it's an adaptation.
 

Plot

 Each episode (for the most part) has a stand alone main plot line, which is just Sherlock trying to solve a crime. Then there is the underlying sub-plot of Watson trying to get Sherlock to open up, which results in the Moriarty plot that shows up in all the Sherlock Holmes things.
 

Costuming

Costuming is pretty basic. Wait. No. That means something not great... Uh... It's simple. Modern era so costuming is sort of easier, I guess. It seems easier than historical costuming, at least. Well, all of it would be easy if you didn't care, but if you're going for accuracy, historical costuming seems more difficult. 

Anyway! This isn't supposed to be me rambling about historical costuming or whatever.

I do love a lot of the outfits Watson and Sherlock wear. The clothes seem to fit their personality types. And I just like them on a personal level.
 

How diverse is it?

It is moderately diverse. One of the main characters is an Asian American woman. One of the main cop characters is African American. So, not a bunch of white dudes at least.

Oh! And we do get a trans character. That isn't a criminal. Nor the butt of a joke.
 

Overall Thoughts 

Major Spoilers Ahead

so, if you don't want shit spoiled for a 12-year-old show, stop reading now.

This is my favorite Sherlock Holmes adaptation/inspired by thing. The others are fine. But this one is better. 🤷

And I love the Moriarty twist. Natalie Dormer needs to play more criminal masterminds because she was fantastic in this. Stop giving me boring white dudes as criminal masterminds. Give me Natalie Dormer.

Watson starts out as a former surgeon turned sober companion and then gives that up to become a consulting detective with Sherlock. I think the arc of her changing jobs was well done.

Not sure what to say that isn't just me gushing about Natalie Dormer and Lucy Liu. So, I think I'll end this one here. Go check out Elementary. It's really good.

Oh no! I have nothing prepared! *throws this at you and runs away*

 

Day 22 

Last time on Hades...

I delivered toys. 


Gods do I love you, Sable.


Yay!


Look at my awesome fossil! 😍


Okay. That was super short. Sorry... Nothing much happened on Hades. I'm mostly trying to get bells so I can pay off my Nook Loan so I can move my house. Then make my house bigger. So, I've basically been collecting shells, fruit, fish and bugs to sell.
