I watched a lot of Disney movies and it is pretty impossible to pick favorites. My mom collected the VHS tapes any chance she had. We had just about every Disney animated movie.
Bambi
This was one of my favorites as a boy. I watched it all of the time. I loved the different animal characters, like Flower and Thumper. I loved how they all became Twitterpated. I thought Faline was cute,lol.
It was a wonderful coming of age story, from fawn to prince of the forest. I was very sad when Bambi's mother was killed by the hunter. Also, when the hunter's negligence led to the destructive forest fire, I was very upset. I don't know if it was because of bambi(prob was) but I would never take up hunting with my dad. I could not shoot a deer. "A sweet, innocent, harmless, leaf-eating, doe-eyed little deer"
Sword in the Stone
This had everything an imaginative boy could want: Castles, swords, wizards, magic. I loved when Arthur morphed into different animals, giving a different perspective of what it would be like as those animals. Also the wizard battle, got to love the dual!
And the removal of the sword from the stone......just awesome
The magic of this movie made it all the more easier to fall in love with the Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past when I was 10.
Robin Hood
This was another favorite. Another medieval tale with interesting characters and adventure. When robbing the rich to give to the poor was the right thing to do. It was funny, fast-paced, and just a pleasure to watch. Now who didn't crush on cute Maid Marian: What a Fox!
Cinderella
We watched this movie a lot as kids. I think I loved the mice more than anything. It was so cool to see how the world looked scaled to mice. It really got your imagination going. Loved Jaq and Gus Gus
The wicked stepmother and stepsister were so easy to hate. How I hated them bitches.
Peter Pan
This was another one we watched a lot. I mean c'mon, flying to the stars, pirates, Never land; it all stoked a sense of adventure and imagination. Wendy was a darling <3
Jungle Book. Loved it!
The Fox and the Hound, a cute movie
The Rescuers Down Under: so much fun!
101 Dalmations
The Little Mermaid: Life under the ocean? Looked pretty fascinating. I also used to have the biggest crush on Ariel, lol
Aladdin:
Beauty and the Beast
The Lion King, amazing
I'm fading here with describing the why. I just loved the above. They were a big part of my youth and had so many influences. There were so many great things about Disney movies, adventure, romance, imagination.
Then there are the movies I have enjoyed watching with my kids, like over and over and over and over again. These are really good:
Princess and the Frog
Tangled
Frozen
Wreck-It-Ralph
Big Hero 6
Moana
I just can't help but think how these movies have influence their lives.
God, all the Tangled and Frozen toys, games, puzzles, etc. Those were good memories Don't want to Let It Go.
I have to be honest, I had a lot of Disney crushes, lol. Ariel, Belle, Jasmine, Wendy, Maid Marian, Faline.
