False.

Hunchback of Notre Dame is criminally underrated (And I know, the gargoyles, but ignore them), and is very much a classic movie in all respects. It has:

1. The Best Animation (with yes slight computer effects)
2. An underrated soundtrack - The best opening song of all time, and the Best Villain track of any Disney Film
3. A better and more well-rounded story (even though it does not follow the book, but none of these do)
4. A more mature ending

It's the best of the modern hand drawn films overall. And no one realizes it.

But to rate these 4:

1. Beauty and the Beast
2. Lion King
3. Aladdin/Little Mermaid

These are debateable. I would say "Poor Unfortunate Souls" for best villain track. But I agree with you about how underrated Hunchback is. I feel the same way about Hercules and Mulan.

There are so many great opening songs in Disney movies.

Alan Menken spoke at a children's Theater workshop as was attending last month. He was awesome. At one point he was justt free styling on the piano.

Completely agree.

On a side note, I really think Snow White is one of the most overrated movies ever. Sure its an incredibly important and landmark film, and film would probably be worse off without it, but it really just doesn't hold up at all. Snow White makes Ariel look like an absolute genius.
