Everyone loves Disney movies, but everyone also has one that stands out as their favorite above all others. It’s always fun to see what your favorite Disney movie is as opposed to others, but have you often wondered about people in large groups?
Well, there has been some major research done to determine which is the most popular Disney animated classic by state and also in Canada.
CableTV.com released a study which brings the results from a team of analysts who figured out which animated Disney classic film is the favorite of each state in the United States. You may end up being quite shocked by some of the results as the image above reveals all.
If you’re having some trouble figuring things out, here is the legend that goes with the study.
As you can see, The Lion King rules all by taking 17 states. Animals appear to have actually dominated all as 38 different states chose a Disney animated classic with an animal as the lead protagonist. Here are some of the interesting tidbits to check out:
- Dumbo (1941) is beloved by New York, which was known for the elephant walk through Manhattan, a tradition that lasted over thirty years. While the event garnered mixed feelings from residents and tourists, it certainly left its mark in NYC.
- Nearly 71 percent of Vermont households own a pet, so it makes sense that Vermont loves 101 Dalmatians (1961). But funnily enough, Vermont has more cat-owning households than dog-owning households.
- With the most wilderness of any state, Alaska’s respect for wildlife reflects in its favorite movie Bambi(1942).
- The trippy Alice in Wonderland (1951) is a big deal in New Mexico, which happens to be the only state where you can legally grow magic mushrooms (psilocybin-containing mushrooms).
- Over 57% of Hawaiian residents identify as Asian American, so it’s no surprise that Mulan (1998) is a favorite for the Aloha State.
- The Beehive State, with the youngest average population in the US, had a fourteen-way tie for its top Disney classic. No other state but Utah had a tie for its favorite movie.
Not to leave out the neighbors to the north of the United States, research was also done to see which animated classics are preferred in Canada. As you can see, Beauty and the Beast was able to beat out Bambi and The Lion King as the favorite here.
