What's your favorite childhood movie that still sticks with you now that you're older? Mine would have to be:
Little Nemo: Adventures in Slumberland

It never fails to make me tear up at the end...

(And for those who haven't heard of it, no, it has nothing to do with the more recent movie called Finding Nemo.)

All of Pixar's films thus far, the majority of Disney's movies (yes, even the "cheapquels" as people call them, hey, I liked them then, and I like most of them now!), the majority of Dreamworks (Madgascar and their sequels being the exception)

I'm not sure if this is my favorite, exactly, but Quest for Camelot is definitely up there and I think it's highly underrated. Anastasia, I really liked too. I guess I'm a big fan of totally-not-Disney movies. XD

Disney's Aladdin, at one point I had all songs memorized in both their English and Portuguese Lyrics  :rofl:

I watched Dragonheart several times when I was younger - story about a boy king who's wounded in battle so a dragon gives him half his heart to keep him alive, which means the boy can only be killed if the dragon is killed. You can see where the story goes: good knight befriends dragon, opposes king, tries to kill king but fails, so dragon kills himself nobly.

I cried when I was little, but what I did NOT expect was to almost cry when it came on TV a few months ago. It's a completely predictable story but I was still really moved, presumably because it got its hooks into me when I was young and impressionable :P
Prince of the Aquitaine. Duke of York.

Knight errant and consort to Her Grace the Empress Deloria of the Holy Roman Empire, Queene of all Albion and Princess Palatine.

Deloria

That movie was kind of ruined for me because the entire conflict seemed superfluous because, you know, he's a rapist and should be killed in the most horrible fashion imaginable at all costs. :P

I was really big on The Swan Princess because I thought she was awesome for rejecting someone who wanted to marry her just because she was pretty. :D

Heh, I was talking Neverending Story on Facebook a bunch today.  Definitely a favorite.  Transformers: The Movie?  Yep.

E.T.  - the end of that film still makes me cry to this day.

And, definitely - "The Breakfast Club".  I saw that movie for the first time when I was about 10.  Definitely above my head - all I knew was I couldn't wait to be a teenager.  I was a teenager, and I saw it, and connected with it.  I saw it as a young man, and remembered those days, and how silly they were.  I see it now and think back fondly on the fact that I did grow up, and time has definitely been passing in my life.

Before age 10, I had seen Excalibur. My parents just fast forwarded over the naughty bits, because that makes it "okay", right? RIGHT!?

In fairness to them though, I didn't care about the naughty bits: there was a fantastical sorcerer guy who commanded a dragon. Far more interesting.

Oh, was that the one with lots of Romantic music (particularly Wagner)? :D I saw that a year or two ago and thought it was brilliantly atmospheric :D

When I was a kid, I kinda sorta liked Phantom Menace...I didn't pick up on its flaws until I grew up a little. Now, of course, it's my least favorite Star Wars movie, and everybody else's as well.

I also liked Wallace and Gromit, as well as Back to the Future, and they've stayed entertaining throughout my growing up.
I have no mouth, and I must scream.

darthkiwi

I wasn't a massive fan of Phantom Menace but couldn't really explain why. Now I can explain it in great detail, of course. XD

And Wallace and Gromit are brilliant :D

I was absolutely terrified of Wallace and Gromit. Still am. Claymation really, really freaks me out. :(

Aww! Why? :(

I really like the Dinosaur Claymation Christmas thingy. I finally tracked it down and got it on dvd.

I can sorta understand not liking claymation if the production values are really low (I never liked Gumby or those Rankin Bass Christmas specials that appear on TV every year). How about Flushed Away? It's CGI designed to look like claymation; do you not like that either?

Rosella

Definitely don't like that either. I mean, I'm not a huge fan of CGI, but... *shudders* It just creeps me out. It might've been the tone of Wallace and Gromit that freaked me out and I just associated it with claymation though? I honestly don't remember much, I just remember that I watched it as a kid. XD

On the bright side, it made The Nightmare Before Christmas the slightest bit unnerving, which contributed to the tone quite well. :P

Off the top of my head, mine were Nightmare Before Christmas, Beauty and the Beast, and the Three Musketeers.
I have my cake and eat it too, until it's gone.  Then I can't do either.
