Must See Disney Movies Everyone Should See

Must See Disney Movies Everyone Should See

by Beryl Dalton

The California based Walt Disney Studios, has produced fifty-four Disney feature films since 1937 and the release of Snow White & the Seven Dwarfs. At regular intervals movies are released with the latest Big Hero 6. This was released in 2014.

Disney movies cover numerous genres, including catchy musicals (Jungle Book (1967), Frozen (2013)), traditional folk stories (Cinderella (1950), Sleeping Beauty (1959)), historical biographies (Pocahontas (1995), The Hunch back of Notre Dame (1996)), and cute, feel-good animal tales (The Lady and the Tramp (1955), The Aristocats (1970)). Each genre is treated in a distinctly Disney manner making each a for kids and adults.

Characteristic of Disney are the movies where actors interact with the animated characters with such classics as Mary Poppins (1964), with Julie Andrews playing Mary. It is interesting that this movie is also famous for the most appalling English accent courtesy of Dick Van Dyke which is ironic as the author of the Mary Poppins books, upon which the film was based, had insisted all the actors should be English.

Another classic live action/animation movie was Bedknobs and Broomsticks (1971) where the lucky kids got to travel to Isle of Naboombu on their bed. I can't have been the only kid who turned the knob on my bedpost and hoped.

Disney movies however, generally fall into two categories; those enjoyed only by children and those enjoyed by both adults and children. Naturally for long-suffering parents who watch these movies on a daily basis, it is the latter that generally become big hits. The popularity of the block-buster Disney movie can be seen in the long list of celebrities who provide the voices for some of the colourful characters. No one can fault Robin William's exuberant performance in Aladdin (1992), and Whoopi Goldberg's performance for The Lion King (1994).

Everyone loves Disney and can choose a favourite (whether they care to admit it or not), and it is not necessarily from their own childhood. Often just one that for whatever reason spoke to them amused them or made them feel good. A definite must see is Jungle Book (1967), with wonderfully catchy songs which have aged well. No one can resist dancing(or at least tapping their toes) to I wanna Be Like You. The most recent musical, although not the best, is Frozen (2013), and Let it Go has been played constantly in the music charts and TV since its release. Everyone should see Frozen just so see what the hype is about and join the discussion.

A great swashbuckling tale is Peter Pan featuring pirates, small children residing in the woods, a ticking clock inside a crocodile, and lots of fights. However what Disney does well are romances, of which there are many. One that stands out is Little Mermaid (1989) which tells a love story between a man and mermaid . Some wonderfully bouncy tunes like Under the Sea bright colours and loveable characters.

Disney addressed a different, more teenage audience with The Nightmare Before Christmas (1993) which appealed to kids, teens, adults or goths. This is the story of Jack Skeleton the Pumpkin King who is fed up with scaring people and wants to take over Christmas. A dark, deliciously macabre movie with great (if dreary) songs. It is distinctly un-Disney which is its appeal and it is not surprising it is more of a cult movie than a hit.

This list is not definitive and is likely to change. As the audience matures the choice of favourite movie will change. With a choice of fifty-four movies (and counting) there will always be one or ten that stands out.
