I was only 12 years old when The Lion King was released and gave Disney one of the greatest economic boosts in their history. As a kid, I never got into the hype of this classic movie. However, the soundtrack was one of the original five CDs I ever own (still got it too). As … More The Lion King (1994)
Just the other day I was thinking of Disney Classics I need to watch for the first time or need a refresher on. The majority of us remember Lady and the Tramp for the spaghetti kissing scene. To be honest, that’s all I remembered and had no clue how these two dogs even met. We … More Lady and the Tramp (1955)
According to my IMDb profile, I went to see Brave in 2012 and gave it a rating of six. We decided to give it another go, and I got to admit the story stuck with me a little more than it did the first time. I get that some girls just want to be independent … More Brave (2012)
It’s been nine years since Up floated into theaters and into your hearts. Pixar produced one of its most memorable characters, Carl Fredricksen (Edward Asner), and by far one of the saddest animated movies of all-time. Not only did Pixar follow-up the Oscar from Wall-e in 2008, they snagged back to back awards thanks to … More Up (2009)
Sherlock Holmes is one of fiction’s greatest detectives and characters ever written. I once read The Hound and the Baskervilles, but that was about all I knew about Sherlock Holmes and Doctor Watson. Whoever worked at Disney in the mid 1980’s must have been hard pressed for ideas because they dug up Basil of Baker … More Basil, the Great Mouse Detective (1986)
As the 20th Century came to a close, Disney studios saw an opportunity to give Fantasia another chance to shine much like it did some 60 years prior. Much like the original, there were things I liked and didn’t like. Although the difference this time was I absolutely loved the animation in the story set … More Fantasia 2000 (1999)
Fantasia is the ultimate Disney classic. It was just the second film released under Walt, and the whole idea behind the film was unique and unheard of at the time. What was so special about it was that each story and song were open to interruption. Whether it was the artist, the composer, or the … More Fantasia (1940)
The animated version of The Jungle Book has to be my favorite. Whether it the beautiful animation, funny songs by a great voice cast, or the story itself, there was just so much to enjoy in this film than other versions. I had to watch this classic again because I had more questions than answers … More The Jungle Book (1967)
For the first 35 years of my life I had managed to avoid Alice in Wonderland. There is some crazy creatures in the woods of Wonderland that anyone who isn’t stoned probably wouldn’t enjoy this movie. Hailed as a cult classic and one of the finest movies Disney released forever ago, it is considered a … More Alice in Wonderland (1951)
I understand Peter Pan is a classic Disney movie that help spawn a whole lot of live action movies over the last five decades. I never liked Hook (1991) or Peter Pan (2003) because I just don’t like the Peter Pan character himself. When Ana laid down the challenge to watch all the Disney animated … More Peter Pan (1953)
