The Jungle Book (1967)
Walts' last film was also his best. Boasting some of the best songs ever made for film, "The Jungle Book" is an astounding achievement. The film also features the best voice cast for any animated film with fun performances and songs from radio stars Phil Harris and Louis Prima. George Sanders and Sebastian Cabot also deserve mention for their efforts in bringing the big cats Shere Khan and Bageera to life. The character designs set a benchmark for further disney films to follow with Khans' structure clearly influencing the look of nearly all "The Lion King"s' cast.

The Lion King (1994) 
The Lion King features some of the most amazing art Disney has ever commited to screen. Its' box office achievements set the benchmark and took years to better. Memorable songs and characters (with Jeremy Irons' surly turn as the villianous Scar stealing every scene he's in) cement the film as a classic. The African landscape provides a perfect backdrop for the Shakespearean proceedings while also twisting into dramatic stages flush with colour and light for the musical numbers. The films' pacing is helped no doubt by some of the most thrilling action scenes (including the awe-inspiring wilderbeast stampede) in western animation. Mufasas' death is just as powerful as it was when the film was released 14 years ago.
