Fifty-four Disney movies have been produced by the Walt Disney Animation Studios in California, starting with Snow White and the 7 Dwarfs in 1937. The latest was Big Hero 6, released in 2014. Three more movies are in the pipeline due to be released sporadically over the next three years. They are bound to be must see Disney classics.
Disney movies fall into numerous genres, including musicals with catchy tunes such as the Jungle Book (1967) and Frozen (2013), traditional fairy stories (Cinderella (1950) and Sleeping Beauty (1959))and historical stories (Pocahontas (1995) or The Hunch-back of Notre Dame (1996)). The most popular however are the must see Disney feel-good animal tales (The Lady and the Tramp (1955), The Aristocats (1970)).
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.
Additionally I am sure all children from 1971 onwards have twisted the knobs on the end of their bed posts in an attempt to travel to the Isle of Naboombu like the lucky kids in Bedknobs & Broomsticks were able to do.
Disney movies are for everyone, although the biggest hits are those enjoyed by adults too. Kids like to watch these movies on a daily basis and it helps if they are fun for parents too. A list of A-list celebrities appear as voices in the movies including the vibrant performance of the late Robin Williams, Aladdin (1992), or Whoopi Goldberg for The Lion King (1994).
Everyone has a favourite Disney movie, and not always one from their own childhood; just one that appealed, amused, or generally made the viewer feel good. A classic Disney movie is The Jungle Book (1967), with ridiculously catchy music which has survived the test of time. No one can fail to dance around to I wanna be like you. The latest musical is Frozen (2013), where Let it Go has been used in TV adverts in the UK, played on a loop through December 2014. Not the best Disney movie, but everyone should see Frozen just so they can see what the fuss is about.
A great tale of adventure is Peter Pan which consists of pirates, wild children living in the woods, an alarm clock in a crocodile, and a boy who never grew up. Disney excels at romances, of which there are a lot. One that shines is Little Mermaid (1989) which tells the love story of a man and Aerial. There are some jolly tunes like Under the Sea, vibrant colours and loveable characters.
Disney decided to tap a different audience with The Nightmare Before Christmas (1993) which appealed to kids, adults and goths. This is the story of Jack Skeleton who kidnaps Santa to take over the Christmas holiday. A dark, macabre movie with great (if dreary) songs and an un-Disney appearance to it ensures this movie could only be successful.
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.
