20. The Great Mouse Detective"Ratigan, no one can have a higher opinion of you than I have, and I think you're a slimy, contemptible sewer rat!" - BasilYou know, this is probably the only Disney movie I prefer the villain over the hero. Maybe I just think Basil's not close enough to equal Professor Ratigan. I mean, there's a clear resemblance to the Sherlock Holmes/Professor Moriarty rivalry here. But Holmes and Moriarty were more on equal footing. Ratigan seems to have quite an advantage here. Hell, he's the only one that gets a song! And probably the best villain song besides Be Prepared. But nonetheless, a small plot summary. Ratigan kidnaps a toymaker to make a robot duplicate of the Queen Mouse in order to take over Mousedom in England. The toymaker's daughter goes to Basil and Dawson to ask for them to save her father. They get entangled in the plan, and it's up to our duo to stop Ratigan and save the kingdom. I also enjoy the scene where they're trapped in the giant Rube Goldberg machine. I start to chuckle when Basil goes nuts and calculates when they need to spring it exactly. It's just a fun movie and a classic all around.

19. Aladdin"You ain't never had a friend like me!" - GenieI believe this is the second Disney movie I ever saw in theatres. Unfortunately, the movie didn't work and we missed the schpeal by the merchant at the beginning, but we didn't miss any of the important stuff. This movie was epic. It had everything. Love, action, adventure, comedy, a well-written plot, EVERYTHING! Aladdin comes across the magic lamp for Jafar, who wants to overthrow the Sultan so he can rule Agrabah. He gets trapped in the Cave of Wonders and meets Robin Williams, or the Genie voiced by Robin Williams. And he does great justice for the Genie. All Aladdin wants is the love of Princess Jasmine, and Genie just wants his freedom. This is one of those classics that will not be forgotten for a very long time. Also: This is on par to being as catchy as Ducktales.

18. The Rescuers Down Under"I didn't make it all the way through third grade for nothing." - McLeachThis was the first Disney movie I saw in theatres when I was probably 4 or 5. It was part of the time known as the Disney Renaissance. A young boy gets kidnapped by a poacher, who wants him to tell him where a giant golden eagle is so he can kill it. Our two mouse heroes, Bernard and Miss Bianca (Bob Newhart and Eva Gabor) head south to Australia to help rescue him. I probably saw this 10 years before I saw the original The Rescuers film. After seeing the first one, I gotta say this: Remember the rule that sequels never stand up to the original? Well, IMO, this one topples the original. It was just an excellent masterpiece. And it was just the beginning for Disney, as they had 10 years of excellent work.

Alright, I've let this get a little off-key. But I'll continue it tomorrow night, as I forgot my laptop back at my place. As for the clues, I'm changing one, as Bon Voyage Charlie Brown! (And Don't Come Back!) was on the list, but I just remembered another Peanuts movie that was even better and had a kickass theme to it. So that one will replace BV Charlie Brown.

And the countdown continues after a layoff! 17. Ducktales The Movie: Treasure of the Lost Lamp"I wouldn't miss this for all the scones in Scotland!" - Scrooge McDuckYou know, I'm surprised that there's not more love for this movie since Ducktales is remembered so fondly. That, or the theme song is embedded into our skulls. Anyways, this actually somewhat has the same plot, IMHO, as the movie Aladdin, which would come out two years after this. I'm thinking they stole some ideas from this movie and put them in Aladdin. Anyways, Scrooge and his nephews and niece (Yeah, I know, Webby's not really Scrooge's niece, but she's almost close enough) are looking for the treasure of Callie Baba and the Forty Thieves. It has taken Scrooge many years to find it. Unknown to them, an immortal wizard Merlock (voiced by Christopher Lloyd (GREAT SCOTT!)), is looking for the magic lamp of Callie Baba. They find the treasure, but Merlock and his lackey Dijon, try to kill the ducks, but they escape. The nephews and Webby have the lamp, and the adventure really begins. You know, there's one thing that's bugged me for a while. If the boys can't wish for a million wishes, how can Merlock use some magical talisman to claim unlimited wishes? Eh, the wonders of the Deus Ex Machina. Also, I find this quite funny: {Spoiler}In this movie, Scrooge uses his last wish to turn the genie into a boy, rendering the lamp useless. In Aladdin, Aladdin uses his last wish to free the genie, rendering the lamp useless. I think the Duck Genie got screwed here. Anyways, this was a great movie. Good times, good adventures, loads of fun. And since it came out near the end of the original run for Ducktales, I think it's a very deserving sendoff for the series.

16. The Good, The Bad, and Huckleberry HoundYou know, I wasn't the biggest fan of Huckleberry Hound when I was a kid. I don't know, I just never really liked him that much. But this film changed my thoughts on ol' Huck. He was probably the best part of this whole film. It's the year 1849, and Hanna Barbara characters are moving out west to live new lives. Huck moves out as well, to start a farm to raise goats and pigs. Ah, the American Dream. But he gets robbed by the Dalton Gang. He enters the town in which the Daltons are hanging out and is challenged to a poker game, as he has a gold nugget in which the Daltons overlooked. After accusing the Daltons of cheating, they challenge Huck to a fight, which he wins in 705 rounds, thanks to the ol' Anvil in the Glove trick. The rest of the movie has Huck become sheriff and try to take down the Daltons, with very little help from his fellow characters until the end. I enjoyed this one quite a bit. It was a fun little movie that has a quaint charm that stands the test of time.

20. The Great Mouse Detective"Ratigan, no one can have a higher opinion of you than I have, and I think you're a slimy, contemptible sewer rat!" - BasilYou know, this is probably the only Disney movie I prefer the villain over the hero. Maybe I just think Basil's not close enough to equal Professor Ratigan. I mean, there's a clear resemblance to the Sherlock Holmes/Professor Moriarty rivalry here. But Holmes and Moriarty were more on equal footing. Ratigan seems to have quite an advantage here. Hell, he's the only one that gets a song! And probably the best villain song besides Be Prepared. But nonetheless, a small plot summary. Ratigan kidnaps a toymaker to make a robot duplicate of the Queen Mouse in order to take over Mousedom in England. The toymaker's daughter goes to Basil and Dawson to ask for them to save her father. They get entangled in the plan, and it's up to our duo to stop Ratigan and save the kingdom. I also enjoy the scene where they're trapped in the giant Rube Goldberg machine. I start to chuckle when Basil goes nuts and calculates when they need to spring it exactly. It's just a fun movie and a classic all around. An easy answer for why you like Ratigan over Basil.... Vincent Price does the voice of Ratigan.

Anyone voiced by Vincent Price is ultimately better.
