Dumbo, Mulan, Cinderella, Pinocchio, Fantasia, Aladdin, Bambi, Pocahontas, Hercules and Tarzan. I think. Not counting Pixar films, which means you have to count some that are only slightly "classics".
I just know my new manager (takes over next month) had a mullet. Every frame of this one was gold! I'm making this my wallpaper. He certainly won't understand this is him, even if I do shave my head.
Also, if you haven't caught the 20 year anniversary making of, I highly recommend it.
The black hole - definitely a classic, although it scared me much as a kid. Our family still sometimes uses the head palms that one of the characters does ("I'm surrounded by stupid robots" or something like that).
I mostly agree with ian -- I think the indisputably correct answers would be Dumbo, Bambi, Cinderella, Fantasia, Pinocchio, Aladdin. If you're flexible about definite articles, add The Rescuers and The Aristocats. Then fill out the list with these, in my own very subjective ordering of most to least classic, with none of them actually being classic yet: Mulan, Pocahontas, Hercules, Tarzan, Bolt, Dinosaur.
I didn't think any Disney movies were classics. Here are my contributions to the synonym for idiot catalog: cretin, meat head, micro-encephalic, numbskull, simpleton, vacuum-brain. That's all I can think of.
Why would someone who loves Tron so much not already own it. If you owned it you wouldn't have to try to convince people to rent Tron. But I totally agree Tron is "classic" Disney.

uhhhh...what was the question? what is a mammal that cannot jump? Dumbo.
I'd hardly consider Mulan, Tarzan, Hercules or Pocohontas to be classics.
Ahem: "hoping".
End of panel 3 is great.
End of panel two is my favourite.
This is my favorite web comic, and not in small part because every single frame is five times as funny as most other entire strips.
"The Black Hole"? Perhaps, "The Black Cauldron"?

I work with a guy who would say, "Actually, I only asked IF you could name them... I didn't ask you TO name them". Grrr...
Another great comic though Scott!
Did you know that there are ten horses named in the Lord of the Rings? Ponies don't count.
Tron! One of my all-time favorites. For all fans who haven't heard about Tron: Legacy yet, here it is http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1104001/
Also, if you haven't caught the 20 year anniversary making of, I highly recommend it.

@Scott: No, he meant "The Black Hole". See http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0078869/
The Black Hole!! We just watched that a couple months ago. Instant classic. I highly recommend it.

so what are the 15 synonyms for idiot? I feel like a real (blank) for not knowing.
Don't forget Bolt and Dinosaur. Both are Disney not Pixar and both are "animated".
moron, dupe, nincompoop, retard, doofus, blockhead, spazz, twit, stupid, dummy, uhhh... I've run out. And I'm not sure all of those even count.
Another one-word Disney animation title: "Dinosaur." But probably not a classic by anyone's standards.
@Patrick: Dope, dolt, nitwit, dimwit, halfwit, imbecile, fool, bonehead, [fill in the blank]-head...
@Patrick -
clotpoll, ninnyhammer, buffoon, chowderhead, prat, loonbucket. . . .
Great strip, by the way.

Hey, where's my gravatar?
Pocahontas is too a Disney classic, not least of all because it has a bonafide "princess" character.

@Patrick: Simpleton, dunce, ignoramus, dodo, oaf, clod, dullard, birdbrain, dingbat
i reiterate - WHAT THE FLAMING DEUCE IS 'TRON'?
