The Hunchback of Notre Dame. I grew up watching it and I still adore it. It's a beautiful movie with an incredible soundtrack and flawless animation <3 I have so many memories from watching it as a kid :')

None, actually. To be honest, I'm not really an overall Disney fan at all, just this one movie that was released and hit me like a bomb as I was leaving childhood & entering early adolesence was really the only one that really touched me. I watched other early 90s Disney movies, & they were fun & stuff don't get me wrong but that was it. Only TLK really grabbed a part of me.

I always really connected with the other Disney animal movies, probably because I'm a dog lover. (For example, 101 Dalamations, Lady and the Tramp, etc).

In terms of Music, Tarzan really has a good soundtrack. Phil Collins does a wonderful job.

In terms of Adventure, Atlantis has a really good story. The plot and the characters are amazing.

In terms of Humor, The Emperor's New Groove has the same wonderful blend of witty dialogue and superb voice acting.

In terms of Setting, Finding Nemo and Little Mermaid pull off the under the sea world really well.

In terms of Sadness, Fox and the Hound. Schlinder's List is pretty big too, but that isn't Disney. Imagine if it was though...

None.....but I really like Pocahontas a lot. The music, the message and the drama and sadness......ALMOST, but not quite up there with TLK....

Beauty and the beast has that quality to it that really captivates you and your imagination while pulling into the story following up with the beautiful voice talent and the timeless story. Also Aladdin, Little Mermaid mainly because they were all released around the same time and was always my favourites to watch countless times.

Tarzan though holds its own with Phil Collins did an amazing job with the soundtrack, for a movie to be released at the time it did, it certainly holds its own as one of my favourites.

But from an deepening feeling for TLK is one of a kind, there isn't anything that would have such a smoothness about it that touches every thought and memory and experience giving you some sort of explanation about the world that give you that calming head clearing quality that soothes you into a cheerful manner regardless how your day went.

In terms of everything, I only really like The Lion King in terms of liking Disney movies.

But some honorable mentions:

Pocahontas - As a movie, it's okay, but it did have some nice music (score, not songs) that I liked.
Cars - the only Pixar film I actually like, like Pocahontas, it's alright, but it's about cars, and it has some nice songs as well, and a new touch on an old fomula of a plot. (Unoriginal, but works). But being a Pixar film, it suffers the same problem that all CGI rendered films have with me - can my computer match the picture in real time?

No other Disney movie has touched me in the way TLK has.

However, a couple come really close.

Beauty and the Beast.
Bambi.

Bambi, Brother Bear and Bridge to Terabithia. ^^
