^To me, his 30s and 40s era work stands alone in artistic and technical brilliance and are Walt's true masterpieces

50s:

1. Sleeping Beauty
2. Cinderella
3. Peter Pan

60s era:

1. The Jungle Book
2. The Sword In The Stone
3. Swiss Family Robinson
4. Pollyanna
5. Mary Poppins

***long intervening period of forgettable garbage***

Disney Renaissance:

1. Beauty And The Beast
2. The Lion King
3. The Little Mermaid
4. Pocahontas
5. The Rescuers: Downunder


Loved early Pixar right up until Finding Nemo, the most overrated animated movie of all time

Peter Pan

I'm going to choose a three episode arc from Disney's Wonderful World of Color called Dr Syn the Scarecrow of Romney Marsh starring Patrick McGoohan from the 1960s. It was condensed and later released as a feature film in the 1970s. I was lucky enough to get the dvd when it was released, totally unaware of how rare it would turn out to be and I knew very little about it, other than it looked interesting.

For animation, I would go with Beauty and the Beast, though I have come to appreciate The Little Mermaid, Peter Pan, Sleeping Beauty and Tangled.
