Aladdin is my favorite, too. I don't lump Lilo/Stitch in with the glory days of Little Mermaid, Aladdin, Beauty/Beast, and Lion King.
Ever since then, I think the most well-rounded movie was Emperor's New Groove, although it was way too snarky to feel like a Disney. I kept checking to see if it was Dreamworks.
Tarzan had gorgeous visuals, but the story was unremarkable. "jungle surfing"!
Lilo & Stitch was too preachy in the latter half, but overall it was a concentrated bolus of cute and fuzzy with just enough subversive humor, right in the carotid. It was easy to like b/c it came at a time when we'd long since stopped asking too much from Disney. It was sugar water.
