I hated 101 Dalmations before I ever saw it, because I loved the original novel (by Dodie Smith) and they changed the plot, ignored most of my favorite scenes, and changed the sex of one of my favorite characters. Then I heard the version of Cruella de Vil by the Replacements on Stay Awake, which I loved, and gave the movie a second chance. Don't love it, but don't hate it any more. I'm a soft touch for Disney tunes.
Liked Bambi okay until I read the original novel; now I dislike it once Bambi's mom gets done in, because it reminds me of the book, which I hated.
Lots of Disney flicks I'm fine with the kids watching, but would be fine with never watching again, Cars being at the top of that list, followed by a lot of other more recent flicks. I do like Meet the Robinsons, even though they totally abandoned the original book, which I loved. And I often dislike sequels -- liked but didn't love Pirates of the Caribbean, but sure wish they'd stopped with one, 'cuz the kids and hubby insisted on seeing the sequels, which I thought a total waste of time.
Also find a lot of the ones I loved as a kid seem stretched out with more boring parts than I remember as an adult. A lot of the classics I may dislike some aspect -- hate The Rite of Spring and The Sorcerer's Apprentice (yes, I hate Mickey's section!) in Fantasia and always skip them -- but I love the rest so I would never say I hate the movie. There are a fair number where I make the kids tell me when my favorite scenes come on but am happy to skip the rest. But I wouldn't say I actively dislike them, because there are still parts I really enjoy.
