How many of you fine mylotters watched Disney movies when you were a kid?What was your favorite Disney movie?Do you still watch Disney movies now?What is your current favorite Disney movie?Do you still think Disney makes good movies when it comes to entertainment and being appropriate for children?If so,why do you think that?And if you have children or ever have children will you let them watch Disney movies?If not, then why do you think that Disney does not still make movies that are both entertaining and appropriate for children?I actually got thinking about this because me ,my fiance,and my mom have recently watched two movies made by Disney,we watched College Road Trip and The Game Plan and both were great,they had great stories and a lot of humor,and they were well worth the time to watch,and I would recommend them to anyone who has not seen them and loves comedy,and they reminded me of how much I used to love Disney movies when I was a kid,and I would say that my favorite Disney movie would either be The Lion King or The Lion King 2:Simbas Pride,because they were both excellent movies with great songs,and yes me and my fiance still try to watch Disney movies whenever possible,but I can not really say that I have a favorite,I definately think Disney still makes the greatest movies because they can always keep your attention,and they do not contain any foul language or content that would be bad for kids,and when me and my fiance have children one day,I would definately allow them to watch Disney movies,and I am sure that me and my fiance would be watching with them,I will appreciate anyone who takes the time to respond to this discussion,and just like with all the other discussions I do in this fine community,I will appreciate anyone who takes this discussion seriously,and gives me honest,truthful answers,have a great day.

Hi, Yes I think Dysney movies still make great movies. They are the best. When I was a kid, me and my siblings like to watch Cinderella, Snow White, Sleeping Beauty and other classic Disney movies. If I will have children someday, I will let them watch Disney movies too. I think Dysney movies are for all ages. The classic are great and the new Dysney movies are good too so all Disney movies are a success. I heard that people don't want their kids to watch Kungfu Panda because they don't like their kids to imitate the actions but I think it is just alright as kids will always be in a world full of imagination and fantasies , it will not harm them if parents will guide and supervise them well. [kidjuwee]
I am glad that you like Disney movie,and that is cool that when you were a kid you and your siblings used to watch those Disney movies,and I am glad to hear that you would let your children watch Disney movies,and yes I agree Disney movies are for all ages,and yeah the classics are great and so are the new ones,and yeah it is okay for kids to watch movies like Kung Fu Panda,and yeah kids will always have wild imaginations which is not a bad thing if you ask me,and yeah as long as the parents guide the children and supervise them,then the kids will be fine,thanks for responding,have a great day,good luck in your life,and Happy Posting.

Growing up I watched Disney movies all the time. And still to this day I enjoy watching them from time to time. Some of the new movies aren't bad either but I prefer the classic ones. [sassygirlanne007]
I am glad that you watched Disney movies growing up,and that you still watch them from time to time to this day,and yeah I agree the new movies are good,but sometimes the classic ones are sometimes better,and more fun to watch,thanks for responding, have a great day,good luck in your life and Happy Posting.

I am a great fan of Disney movies. I liked them when I was a kid, and still I like them a lot. I really enjoy the animation movies they make. They are surely the masters in this field. One thing I must say, they don't make movies showing their animation tricks, but all their movies have great story lines. I've not seen a single disney movie witout some morals in them. They never make movies with hi-fidelty concepts. They generally deal with normal down-to-earth issues understandable by children. My all time favourite Disney movie is Lion King. I watched that movies over and over but still I like the same. But, now-a-days I cant find that magic in Disney movies. They are making good movies still, but none of them can be named as classic. Am expecting one from Disney. [debjit]
I am glad that you are a great fan of Disney movies,and I am glad that you liked them as a kid,and still like them,and yeah the animation movies they make are really good and they definately are masters of that field,and yeah while they do not make movies showing their animation tricks,all the movies do have great story lines,and yeah I agree I have not see a single Disney movie that has not had at least a couple morals in it,and yeah I love the fact that deal with down-to-earth issues that children can understand and follow along with,and yeah the new movies are good,but you are right none of them can be named a classic,thanks for responding,have a great day,good luck in your life,and Happy Posting.

Hie Hellcowboy, I have always love and amazed by the Disney cartoon and movies especially the classic ones since I was a kid. Then I was also enjoying fairy tales by Enid Blyton. Up till now I still watch them and will go to the cinemas to catch one.And I would say all is my favoritelol but I esp. like the Lion King too, Beauty & the Beast and the Little Mermaid. They make the animals looked so adorable and harmless, who would have ever thought beastly animals would be as such and humorous too. A mouse harmless! It is such a great masterpiece and the moral teachings behind it is so valuable that they should be enjoyed by the whole family & kids of all ages. I believe it should be in the collections of every household along with their own individual folks tales. Cheers and happy posting! [Desierra1004]
I am glad to hear that you have always loved and been amazed by the Disney cartoons and movies,and yeah the classic ones are especially,and that is cool that you also enjoyed fairy tales by Enid Blyton,and that is cool that to this day you still watch them,and that you go to the theaters to catch one,and that is cool that you like them all,and I know how hard it is to choose just one,and yeah those movies do make the animals look so adorable and harmless and before those movies I would have never guessed that beastly animals could be so funny,and yeah every family should have a collection of Disney movies along with folk tales,thanks for responding,have a great day,good luck in your life,and Happy Posting.

I like Disney in general. And as a twenty-something I'm not afraid to admit that, lol. I also like The Lion King 2, I think I liked it better than the first one (shocker, right?). I also like The Fox And The Hound, Lady & The Tramp, and The Jungle Book. I think what's cool about Disney is the fact that they always deliver. And the newer stuff like High School Musical is good, but it's different than the movies from years ago. [Xdrowninghavocx]
That is cool that you like Disney in general and I am glad that you are not afraid to admit,and I dunno why the Lion King 2 seemed a bit better,and yeah it is awesome that Disney always delivers,and yeah the newer stuff is good,but it will never compare to the classic movies from years back,thanks for responding,have a great day,good luck in your life,and Happy Posting. [hellcowboy]
I do think Disney can make good movies. It is one of the biggest and famous movie companies in the world. It can afford big budget to produce the movies and pay for the expensive advertisement. I love China [youless]

I am a fan of disney movies since then until now. I love watching them because of the great story and lessons it offers not just to kids but to those who are kids at heart as well. Disney movies are truly for all family and we would always patronize them in our family. [nengs10]
I am glad that you have always been a fan of Disney movies,and yeah they all do have a great story,and each one has some good lessons,and you are right they are not just for kids,but also for anyone who is a kid at heart,and yeah Disney movies are truly for the entire family,thanks for responding,have a great day,good luck in your life, and Happy Posting.

yes, but I think that the classics are much better than the new ones, but that is just me. Maybe I am just old because my kids like the newer ones better. [baileycows]
To some extent I agree with you,the classics are better than the newer ones,but I think it has something to do with those are the ones we grew up one,just like the newer ones are the ones the newer generation are growing up on,so basically to them, the newer ones will be the classics,but that is just my opinion,thanks for responding ,have a great day,good luck in your life,and Happy Posting.

I have always loved Disney movies, I'm not sure I have a favorite though. I know when I was kids I loved The Parent Trap, then my next fav was Aladdin. The Lion King was great too! I have children now and they love Disney. My 12 yr old's favorite movie right now is High School Musical (both 1 & 2), of course her's changes all the time :) My 2 yr old has several favorites too like Cars, Monsters Inc. and probably is most favorite right now Toy Story (1 & 2). I really liked Finding Nemo also. I very much enjoy all Disney movies and would recommend then to anyone with or without children. They are all great family movies and I don't have to worry about my kids seeing something they shouldn't. I love being able to watch a movie for the first time with my kids and not have to worry. I look forward to all future movies of Disney, I know their going to be great. [kblakley]
I am glad that you have always loved Disney movies,and yeah I know how difficult it can be to pick a favorite,but that is cool that when you were a kid you loved the Parent Trap,that is cool that you have children and that they love Disney also,and that is cool that your twelve year olds favorite movie right now is High School Musical one and two,and that is cool that your two year old likes Cars,Monsters Inc. and Toy Story one and two,that is cool that you would recommend Disney movies to anyone with or without children,and yeah they are very great family movies,and I agree you with Disney movies you will never have to worry about your kids seeing something they should not see,and I agree all future Disney movies will be great, thanks for responding,have a great day,good luck in your life,and Happy Posting.

I have to say, movies made by Disney are good ones for children indeed, but if we see the same pattern all the time, won't you be tired of it? From the time I saw the first Disney moive, many years have past, I regret to say, it hasn't been changing. Nowadays, I see their moives fewer than before. I really wish they could make more wonderful moives, and give us more suprises. [purplelavander]
Yeah Disney movies are good ones for children,and I can see your point the same patter all the time,can become a bit boring,and I am sorry that many years have passed since you saw the first Disney movie,and that sucks that you see the movies fewer than before,and yeah I also wish they could make more wondeful movies,and a surprise every now and again would be good too,thanks for responding,have a great day ,good luck in your life,and Happy Posting. [hellcowboy]
I am always a fan of Disney movies. When i was a kid, i was obessed with SNOW WHITE AND THE SEVEN DWARFS. My mom bought a VCR, the i could watch it all day again and again. My cousin also love Disney movies too. She favorite are princess stories and chicken little. Thank for joy which Disney brings to us. [orchid7980]

[hellcowboy]
Of course I watched them as a kid. I loved them and watched them repeatedly over and over until the VHS tapes wore out:) Good thing very technology because my kids (3 and 4) now do the same thing but with DVD's. Growing up my favorite was 101 Dalmations and ironically without me telling them until they had watched it, this is my kids favorite disney movie. They love all of the cartoons, new and old, especially the Disney/Pixar movies. My daughter thinks she is Sharpay froom High School Musical with is great. She loves Enchanted, too. I would recommend to anyone that they get involved with the Disney magic and watch:) [kbjunior15]
I am glad that you pleased with my response to you,and I was more than glad to read your post,and comment on each and every point you made,because I feel it is my duty as a mylotter,thanks for your kind words,thanks for responding,have a great day,good luck in your life,and Happy Posting. [hellcowboy]
Yeah I watched Disney movies as a child, I also have the books. I did not have a favourite movie as far as I remember, but do quite like Bambi, because deers are cute and elegant, but Lion King was also good as you could sing along. Also 101 Dalmations was good, because I am not a fan of dogs and her coat was really pretty lol, yeah I do not have traditional view of that movie. I do not think that I still watch Disney movies, none have come to mind when I think about it. I think the ones out at the moment are appropriate for children, just I do not think that they attract me as an older audience. I think they are more appropriate now as everyone is becoming more PC with 101 Dalmatians possibly becoming a 15 rated film as it has smoking etc in it. [Elixiress]
That is cool that you watched Disney movies as a child,and that you also have the books,and that is cool that you do not have a favorite,but do like Bambi,and yeah deers are cute,and it was cool how in Lion King you could sing along,and that is also cool that you liked 101 Dalmations,that sucks that you do not recall still watching Disney movies,and yeah the ones out at the moment are appropriate for children,but I still think that they attract adults too,thanks for responding,have a great day,good luck in your life,and Happy Posting. [hellcowboy]
i love old cartoon movies made by disney. i dont like the newer ones with human acting. but the computer animated ones are okay. I guess im just really a fan of the old disney princess movies, snow white, cinderella. and fox and the hound. bambi. and the rescuers. those movies are amazing, still. [superrrcreep]
Yeah the old cartoon movies are great,and yeah the ones with human acting are not as good,but they are still cool because they are Disney,and yeah I agree those movies are amazing and always will be,thanks for responding,have a great day,good luck in your life,and Happy Posting. [hellcowboy]
We are always watching Disney movies. I would have to say my favorite disney movie growing up was Little mermaid. I knew all the songs word for word. I love that movie the game plan it is so cute and funny. I didn't get the chance to watch college road trip but will watch it soon i'm sure. Every Monday on Disney channel they play a disney movie. I try and record them for my kids if we haven't seen them yet. We own a good amount of disney dvds and watch them often. [mflower2053]
That is cool that you are always watching Disney movies,and it is cool that growing up,your favorite Disney movie was Little Mermaid ,and yeah it does have some really good songs,I loved the song Under The Sea,and that is cool that you like the movie Game Plan,and I do hope you get to see the movie College Road Trip,and yeah I know Disney Channel plays a Disney movie every Monday,and that is cool that you try to record them if ya'll have not seen them yet,and that is awesome that you have a big collection and watch them often,and we have a pretty good collection here at my parents house,thanks for responding,have a great day,good luck in your life,and Happy Posting. [hellcowboy]
I always loved disney movies. Especially the classic ones: Dombo, sleeping beauty, snow white. The newer ones I like too, but not as much as the old ones. I'm currently buying the whole collection on DVD for my two boys and they love them too. Have a nice day [bieke81]
That is cool that you have always loved Disney movies,especially the classic ones like Dumbo,Sleeping Beauty,and Snow White,and I am glad that you like the newer ones as well,but the classic ones will always be a bit better,that is awesome that you are buying the whole collection on DVD for your two boys,and I am glad that they love them too,thanks for responding,have a great day,good luck in your life,and Happy Posting.

My favorite was Cinderella, Beauty and the Beast, Aladdin, Little Mermaid, Lion King and etc. These movies really bring me sweet childhood memories. As for the more recent Disney Movies, I love most of them too ie. Finding Nemo, Cars, The Incredibles and etc. The most recent Disney movie I watched was Enchanted. I absolutely love it. It's great to see Disney going back to 2D cartoons. This movie is also more realistic with its portrayal of 'Happily Ever After'. lol I think Disney is still making good movies. The movies are also highly suitable for young children. All other movies except Disney movies and some other cartoons, have lots of vulgarities, swearing, nudity in it. [poohgal]
That is cool that you have several favorite Disney movies,and I am glad that they bring back sweet childhood memories,and I am glad that you love most of the recent Disney movies too,and that is awesome that the most recent one you have watched is Enchanted,and it seems like it would be a very good movie,even though I personally have never seen it,I agree it is really great to see Disney going back to 2D cartoons,and yeah Disney will always make good movies,and yeah I also agree that almost all other movies except for the Disney movies,have a lot of things that are inappropriate for kids,thanks for responding,have a great day,good luck in your life, and Happy Posting.

I used to watch Disney movies as a kid. My new favorite film-maker is Pixar. I feel that to a degree Pixar has taken over the Disney spot in the film race, with Disney's blessing. I still love the Disney Channel Original Movies and I do agree that College Road Trip and The Game Plan were classic Disney. I wish more movies came out like that: no cursing, good humor, a good plot and good development. *sigh* There aren't many movies out like that. Movie-makers seem to have no problem corrupting our children through their movies. I think that's a horrible idea. Children are children, let them keep their innocence. And why should MY brain be sullied by the horrible movies out today? I want to watch what some wholesome movies today without being on guard as to what is going to come out of the screen and make me regret spending ANY money at all. I have a two-year-old and I worry about what he watches as well. My husband and I watch all his movies with him and usually if we're not intrigued, my son is not either. Children are smart, they learn quickly when something is interesting and when it's phony. I thank you for this discussion. [kiley4]

I really like the original Lion King as well. I think that Disney was way better when I was a kid. [Marcusml333]
I am glad that you also liked the original Lion King,and I am sorry that you think that Disney was way better when you were a kid,because I admit the classics will always be better,but the newer Disney stuff is still amazing,thanks for responding, have a great day,good luck in your life,and Happy Posting.

I'm sooo... sorry for coming in so late. However I can't say anything about disney movies as I have not watched any since long. [suruchi86]

How can you not Love a good Disney movie, especially some of the Classics out there like Dumbo, Aristocats, Cinderella, etc. and not want to watch them over and over again. I am in my 40s and have quite a few Disney movies I could never part with. These are still some Great movies to watch compared to some of the other types of movies coming out, and I make sure and try to catch quite a few of them as I can as well. Yes, they have changed quite a bit some from when Disney himself was alive, but these are still good movies. Glad to hear that you continue to enjoy these as well. [KrauseHome]
I know what you mean it is hard to not love a good Disney movie,especially the classics that are out there like Dumbo,Aristocats,and Cinderella and I know it is hard to not watch them over and over again,that is cool that you are forty and have quite a few Disney movies that you could never part with,and yeah they are still come great movies to watch compared to some of the other types of movies that are coming out,and that is good that you try to catch quite a few of them as you can,and I am glad that you agree that they have changed quite a bit,from when Disney himself was alive,but they are still good movies,and yeah I am glad I still watch Disney movies and I think I will always watch them,and never part with the ones that we have,thanks for responding,have a great day,good luck in your life,and Happy Posting.

I don't particularly care for Disney. Of course there is no way to avoid all of them and there are a few that I do enjoy but for the most part I don't watch them. My favorites are all old - Robin Hood, The Adventures of Ichabod and Mr. Toad, the live-action Three Musketeers (with Keifer Sutherland and Charlie Sheen), Nightmare Before Christmas, The Sword in the Stone (ultimately responsible for my life-long King Arthur obsession), and The Watcher in the Woods. I don't think there is any comparison between, for example, Lindsey Lohan and Hayley Mills (the Parent Trap) or Lindsey Lohan and Jodie Foster (Freaky Friday). The old movies were better, hands down. I don't know, really, if Disney is still making good movies because the last new movie I watched (and really enjoyed) was The Kid with Bruce Willis and Spencer Breslin. I've seen a few since that one but didn't like any of them, and I refuse to see any of the new cartoons. Personally, if I am going to watch a cartoon, I want it to look like a cartoon, not like real people/animals/cars/etc. The new CGI trend makes me very sad for kids who don't get to appreciate the beauty of the 2D animation of the past (Although my 3y.o. cousin is addicted to Peter Pan which makes me super happy). [crimsonladybug]
I am sorry to hear that you do not care for Disney,and yeah there is no away to avoid them and that is good that there are a few that you do enjoy but it sucks that for the most part you do not watch them,that is cool that your favorites are Robin Hood,The Adventures of Ichabod and Mr Toad, the live action Three Musketeers, Nightmare Before Christmas, The Sword in the Stone,and The Watcher in the Woods,and I can understand that you think there is no comparison even though it is hard to compare the old movies with the new movies,and I agree the old movies are way better then the new movies,and that is cool that the last new movie that you watched and enjoyed was The Kid and that is a really good movie,and I think that is a little close minded to refuse to see any of the new cartoons,because it is not right to judge something without seeing it,and I think cartoons are good if they look like cartoons or people/animals/or cars,and kids can still appreciate beauty of old cartoons and also the CGI of today,thanks for responding,have a great day,good luck in your life,and Happy Posting.

Hi there hell cowboy. I have watched them as a kid and i still watch them with great pleasure. From some time now the Walt Disney Company has started reworking the old movies, making the colors more brighter thus restoring them graphically speaking. They also have a bunch of bonuses to their business dvd's they sell. I love most of the old movies and i also like some of the new ones. I loved "Enchanted" and "Wall_E". I also loved all the sequels to the classics: Little mermaid 2, 3 ; Peter Pan 2, Jungle Book 2, Lion king 2 and Lion King 1 and 1/2; Cinderella 2 and 3; Beauty and the beast 2 and 3 etc. I just watched Disney's Mickey Christmas movie from 1997 and it was like a show of Mickey but showed all of the Classics characters and villains and showed even some classic stories from Disney - i just think Walt would have loved this. I have seen the College Road trip and the game plan and i did like them both, and if you like those i would recommend you "The Pacifier" and "Herbie Fully Loaded" from Disney as well. They are also very fun to watch. [elitess]
That is awesome that you watched Disney movies as a kid,and that you still watch them with great pleasure,and yeah I know what you mean I have seen a lot of the old movies coming out on DVD with restored color,which is really awesome if you ask me,and yeah they always add bonuses to their DVD's which is also really cool,that is good that you love most of the old movies,and also some of the new movies,that is cool that you loved Enchanted and Wall E ,and that you loved the sequels to the old movies like Little Mermaid 2 and 3,Peter Pan 2,Jungle Book 2,and Lion King 2 and 1 an 1/2,and Beauty and the Beast 2 and 3,and that is awesome that you just watched Disney's Mickey Christmas and I think have seen it before and it is really good and I enjoy watching it,and I think Walt Disney would have loved it,that is cool that you have seen College Road Trip and the Game Plan and that you liked them both,and I have seen The Pacifier which is another excellent movie and it is filled with a lot of laughs,and I have seen Herbie Fully Loaded which is also full of laughs,and I agree they are a lot of fun to watch,thanks for responding,have a great day,good luck in your life,and Happy Posting. [hellcowboy]
Still the same... and that only means... THEY ARE STILL MAKING THE BEST MOVIES EVER! Movies that would be both applicable for young and old alike... its value are sure to remain forever and its beauty would never fade. [Jhordie]
No doubt with that! :) [Jhordie]
