I think I was lucky to spend my late childhood riding the wave of the Disney Renaissance-- The Little Mermaid came out when I was ten, and so THAT was amazing (only movie I ever saw more than once in theatres. Four times. Frequently with the much-coveted My Own Money), and then Hunchback came out the summer before my senior year of high school. The school did an annual Disney variety show at the time. I got to be Quasimodo's mother in Bells of Notre Dame (my first year of choir class, so I was still a shaky soloist-- but I was good enough to get chased around with a Stunt Baby and then die onstage). It was awesome.

Hunchback has an amazing soundtrack. (I have a soft spot for Hercules, too, but a) omg Hades and b) Meg = first Disney heroine I could just BOOM sing along with no trying to sing in a higher register than feels natural and WHAT a song and c) Mythology nerdery.)

Really, Hunchback, Hercules, and Gargoyles are the things that get me squeeing, in terms of Disney.

(I didn't pay to see Tangled in theatres, but I thought it was pretty cute when I saw the DVD. Course, Rapunzel has a few personality traits in common with a roleplay character I've been playing since... Uh, I think we decided to give her parents a daughter sometime in 2005, and after watching Tangled I kept wanting to try to cross it over with How To Train Your Dragon and apparently create in my head a CGI world of absolutely ludicrous natural beauty.)
