We’ve partnered up with Hoyts Cinemas to poll cinema-loving Kiwis on the big questions that define our country’s tastes in movies. Last month’s poll was: What is the greatest animated Disney classic?
VOTE & WIN TICKETS IN THE CURRENT HOYTS POLL (BEST MARVEL MOVIES EVER)
We asked you to choose your favourite from a shortlist comprised of movies made (or partly made) while Walt Disney was alive. (We also gave you the option to name your own “classic” because we know how much you love The Lion King.)
The resulting Top 10 is as follows, along with quotes from fellow Flicksters about why they voted for that film.
10. Dumbo
“I used to sit there crying when i was kid at this movie… a beautiful story of triumph and success even when bullied.” – Rebecca
9. Pinocchio
“That bit at the end where they all turn into donkeys is crazy f**ked up.” – Matt B.
8. 101 Dalmatians
“There are 6,469,952 spots in the film, and the first Disney film to use xerography.” – Karen K.
7. Lady and the Tramp
“The Disney cartoon I remember the most – especially the meatball moment!” – Niki K.
6. Peter Pan
“Unforgettable story, classic characters and a film that has impacted history for generations.” – Mitchell H.
