50 Brilliant Walt Disney Movies

Back in March I did a post about the fantastic movie's that Pixar made and I thought I'd follow that up with the brilliant movies made my Walt Disney.

Morgan's Milieu | 50 Brilliant Walt Disney Movies: Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs


Sitting right at the top of the list is Walt Disney's oldest animated movie, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. Whenever I watch this movie I smile and remember being a little girl and singing along (trying to stay in tune but failing).

As I look through the list of movies there's only two that we don't own and Tangled is one of them. That's probably because I have two boys and they didn't want that movie because it's "for girls". Although judging by most of Disney's other movies I don't think that's the case.

What I love about Disney movies is there's characters for everyone to love. The obvious princess movies are all time favourites of mine but I do enjoy watching classics like Peter Pan and The Aristocats.

Morgan's Milieu | 50 Brilliant Walt Disney Movies: Ariel, The Little Mermaid, surrounded by her fishy friends.
The Little Mermaid, Ariel in particular, was one of my favourite's when I was a girl.


Pixar and the more recent Disney movies are great, lots of bright colours and awesome animation, but you can't beat the classics. 

I marvel at how long it must've taken for one person to hand-draw each frame and paint it. A whole movie made that way, and they still managed to release movies once or twice per year! Amazing.

For 77 years Walt Disney have been making brilliant children's movies. Personally I hope they keep going for another 77, and longer.

So tell me, which movies in the list are your favourites?
