Because with Disney, there's something for everyone. There are a lot of Disney films I don't like (even the Lion King is kind of "meh" for me), but I love Pinocchio. Your problem may be that you're too old, I don't know.

im 20, and i like anime and The Simpsons/Futurama, so its not my age or lack of open mindedness to cartoons or animation

i just dont get the appeal of watching a dull adaptation of some fairy tale or something, the characthers and plots in the films also seem contrived to me.

Every 20 year old likes Futurama and anime. Hell, I do. But for me, I still don't like most animated movies. And even though you like some cartoons, it doesn't mean you're going to like others.

And don't over-analyze the movies either. Who cares if you find the characters contrived? That's true for almost any anime/cartoon anyways.

thats true i guess, but i just find disney characthers particurlarly annoying, moreso than in other cartoons, i also find the songs irritating, they seem to put songs in just for the sake of it at times, and they irritate the frak out of me. most of the plots also seem too transparent to me, again this is something i notice more in thre films than other stuff i watch which is why i mention it

Most of the classic Disney animated movies are based off of the format of a traditional Musical, and they (more or less) abandoned that format in the mid 1990s because there are few people left in the world who know how to create an entertaining musical; and even if you can few people enjoy them like they once did.

Edit: I should also add that MTV/Much Music and the rise of the Music Video (basically) killed off the musical, because people who were interested in seeing choreographed dancing or stories told through music that they enjoyed listening to had an outlet that was available 24 hours a day.
