Disney movies are the bread and butter of many people's childhoods. We've put together a list of the most unforgettable Disney movies to watch with the kids… or alone.
Rodger's & Hammerstein's Cinderella
This movie was groundbreaking when it was first released in 1997, and not just for casting musical icon Whitney Houston in the role of the fairy godmother. Singer Brandy was the first Black actress to ever play the role of Cinderella on-screen, paving the way for more diversity in Hollywood productions of classic fairytale stories.
Treasure Planet
Released in 2002, this movie remains one of Disney's hidden gems to this day. A family-friendly sci-fi take on the classic Robert Louis Stevenson book, Treasure Island, this film is full of heart and humour. It is definitely worth a watch and will be just as popular with little girls as it is with little boys, and there are a few hidden jokes just for the grown-ups.
The Fox and The Hound
This animated classic still brings tears to the eyes of some grown adults. The 1981 Disney movie is a surprisingly moving coming of age story that really cuts to the core of what it feels like to grow up and grow apart. Kids will adore the cute animation style, sweet friendship moments and beautiful score. As for the adults, you may want to keep the tissues handy for the final act.
Brother Bear
The last entry on our list comes from 2003 and was one of the last 2D animated films Disney ever released. The kids will love the comedic moments and don't worry, there are plenty of jokes that will have parents chuckling too. Make sure to keep some tissues nearby though, as there are several moments that will definitely leave you teary.
