Best Disney movies of all time: Georgia most watched Disney films

Walt Disney Animation Studios has more than 50 classic films to its name, including “Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs,” “Pocahontas” and “Aladdin.”

Researchers over at Cable TV wanted to find out which movies are most loved around the country, so they cross-referenced all of the Disney movies through the end of the Disney Renaissance in 1999 to determine the top 25.

And of the top 25 Disney classics, analysts used Google Trends data from the past five years to identify a state-by-state list of favorites.

With 17 states behind it, 1994's "The Lion King" was definitely America's favorite. The classic was also Georgia's pick, based on the data, though it's important to note that "The Lion King" Broadway musical hit Atlanta's Fox Theatre in January, so the search data may be compromised.

According to the analysis, 38 of the 50 states favored films with an animal protagonist. In Vermont, where 71 percent of households own a pet, folks love the 1961 movie, “101 Dalmatians.”

Another fun finding: “Alice in Wonderland” (1951) came out on top in New Mexico, “the only state where you can legally grow magic mushrooms,” or psilocybin-containing mushrooms. According to its Wiki page, nibbling on the magic mushrooms in the film made Alice’s torso shrink, her neck elongate and eventually shrink back.

"The book and various films have all been interpreted as making reference to drug abuse, with Alice drinking potions, eating mushrooms and hallucinating as if she were on LSD, all while the world around her changes frighteningly and her mood and perceptions are hugely altered," Metro UK reported in 2015 following the Tim Burton film adaptation.

But others argue that the mushroom is only “magic” in the context of the movie.

"The notion that the surreal aspects of the text are the consequence of drug-fuelled dreams resonates with a culture, particularly perhaps in the 60s, 70s and 80s when LSD was widely-circulated and even now where recreational drugs are commonplace," Dr. Heather Worthington, children's literature lecturer at Cardiff University in the United Kingdom, told BBC.com. "It is the deviant aspects that continue to fascinate because the text is unusual, innovative, and hard to grasp so turning to the author offers simplicity and excitement simultaneously."

In Canada, according to the Cable TV report, Disney movies like “Bambi” (1942), “Beauty and the Beast” (1991), “The Lion King” (1994) and “The Little Mermaid” (1989) were among the most beloved.
