I'm really surprised no one else has mentioned my favorite Disney 
movie...Peter Pan!  Maybe its because I have boys, but as I started 
buying all the disney movies as they came out for my kids, I noticed 
Peter Pan was one of the few with no dead parents (well, Peter's 
parents lost him...but...not on screen) and no real awful violence. I 
mean captain hook is a villain, but not nearly as scary and manacing 
as Jafar, or scar, or even the witch in snow white, or maleficent.  

Peter Pan is so...well...nice! All my kids have wanted to be Peter 
Pan at some point.  We've read the original story and seen the Mary 
Martin version of the play (on video).  they like all three, but of 
all the disney movies, Peter Pan is the best.

PS.  I loved Mulan (but my boys won't watch it anymore...although 
they did the first 6 mos it was out) That's my favorite of the recent 
ones. (did you know Donny Osmond did the vocals for the lead guy 
(jeez I can't remember the characters name!) And saw Tarzan 4 times 
in the theater...we were selling our house that summer and it was a 
great escape when the realtor wanted to show the house.
