Writer's Block: The happiest movies on earth

There have been some phenomenal ones over the years. Lion King and Beauty & The Beast are both superb in story and execution. I have to go back to basics for my very favorite, though - Pinocchio wins hands down. Not so much for the story, which was Disnified almost beyond recognition from Collodi's original tale - but for the technical excellence, the beauty of the artwork, and the music. I could watch that show for hours on end and marvel at something different each time,

My answer depends on whether you count movies for which Disney gets only partial credit.

Interesting.... which movie have you in mind?
Snow White and Pinocchio were hand animated (even the shadows!) to an extent even Disney would go today. Although there's a roumor that Disney are "correcting" colours on new DVD prints of old animations because the colours on the cels did not- never could- match the colours in Technicolor prints. However; Disney used, apparently, to have charts in Ink&Paint showing the differences so that compensation would have been made pre-shooting. Quite a correspondence on the Amazon Disney discussions!

I enjoy lots of semi-Disney movies: much of Pixar, much of Studio Ghibli, Who Framed Roger Rabbit...
