As good today as it once was - although it shows its age.
10 September 2015
One of my favorite all-time animated Disney movies. I used to watch it all the time as a kid. Pretty much every song is a classic, every character is unforgettable, every voice is just perfect, I honestly think that not a second is wasted. Snow White and the Severn Dwarfs is Funny, scary, entertaining and revolutionary for its time. You have to remember that this was the very first animated movie ever. In 62 years, I believe that this movie has never been equalled. OF course there have been many remakes but in my opinion none of them ever equals the magic and splendour of this movie. It has stood the test of time. I really enjoy watching this film over and over and it never gets old. Wonderful.

Bambi (1942)
8/10
Good in its day but they cut bits out in modern releases
1 September 2015
We all love the story of Bambi with her friend thumper. The animation was good, the story a beautiful one, it still brings tears to my eyes and makes me cry. But I recently bought the "Updated" 2 Disc release with Babmi 2, but for some reason it seems like they have cut out some of the scenes.

Why oh why did they do this? I love the film its still worth watching, but simply for the reason that they took out these scenes I couldn't rate it higher than an 8. Love the film, but bring back our scenes!

If you have never seen it you really should, but find an original and not this version.

Toy Story (1995)
9/10
Wonderful Film One of Pixar's Best
31 August 2015
I love animated Disney films, although I must say I usually prefer the original classic hand drawn Disney films, at some point we have to accept change, and what better way to accept this change with a wonderful superb film. (I mean common they booked Toy Story 4 already).

Toy's come to life when their owner is asleep, and its all about the battle for who is the best and most popular toy. Whenever Christmas or the little boy's birthday come around the toys get nervous that they will be abandoned or replaced.

When a new toy arrives they are determined to hate him and ignore him, but they end up becoming friends.

Abearsolutley necessity to watch this movie!
19 August 2015
What can we say about the Jungle Book, every song is a single along kids karaoke classic, the animation is just amazing, its a wonderful story about adventure and friendship that we love to sit down and watch on a lazy Sunday afternoon with the kids. They enjoy it just as much as we do and we remember sitting around on those same lazy Sunday afternoons watching it with our parents. What's more anybody who was in the cub scout movement knows the story because all the troupe leaders took their names from the story.This film brings tears to my eyes just thinking of all the happy memories I can associate it with. Wherever life leads you as you get older, if you feel down watch this film and it will cheer you up guaranteed!

Cinderella (1950)
8/10
Disney's Magic at its best
13 August 2015
This is another Walt Disney Classic (I know every film from that Time Period is a classic but still!), we all know the story of Cinderella so no plot to spoil really. But Disney's artists did a wonderful job in making this film truly look like an animated kids story book. I think that conventional artistry is or will soon be a forgotten art in today's 3D Animation CGI world. The rags to riches ball gown transformation scene and the pumpkin to a coach fit for a princess are just stand out beautifully drawn with excellent attention to detail. And lest we forget the soundtrack as always some lovely songs from Mack David, Al Hoffman, and Jerry Livingston like "A Dream Is a Wish Your Heart Makes" and "Bibbidi-Bobbidi-Boo" that enhance both the scenario and the characters.

Mulan (1998)
8/10
About time Disney had a girl hero
6 August 2015
Warning: Spoilers
Mulan is the daughter of a Chinese soldier who is getting on in his years, she dresses as a boy so she can replace her father and defend her home land from invaders. As part of the fighting unit she falls for her commander although he is oblivious to her deception after saving everybody her cover is blown. A girl dressed as a boy. She was dismissed from the army, but at the same time honoured by the Emperor for her bravery. She had after all saved the empire from destruction.

I think when her father said he was proud of her brought a tear to my eye, its just a wonderful family movie. Who knows if the story is a legend or actual history but as family entertainment its thoroughly enjoyable.

Tangled (2010)
10/10
Superb Disney Movie 10 out of 10
6 August 2015
This film is amazing for children of any age (including those grown up children Peter Pan style. Its funny with the usual Adventure and Romance elements, there are double meanings with suggestions that go over the kids heads and appeal to the adults. My kids aren't yet teens so I can't predict what they would make of it, but I have heard and indeed found myself laughing pretty much all the way through this film. I think although the storyline was predictable in part it was still thoroughly enjoyable. This film might not have some of the best animation that Disney have ever done but I would say its a good all round family movie. I would recommend it to anybody without question. Hope your family enjoys it as much as mine!

Another Oscar Winning Disney Movie
31 July 2015
Under the Sea - a beautiful melodic song fully deserving of its Oscar.every time I watch this film and in case you haven't gathered already i am a big Disney fan it never fails to entertain me.

The music score - amazing, the animation amazing, the story - heart warming and touching.

16 year old Ariel fascinated with life on land breaks the law of the sea and visits the surface, she then falls in love with a prince, she makes a deal with a witch to become human for three days. As always things don't go according to plan.

A beautiful family friendly story that everybody in the family will love again and again. If you haven't seen this film you really should you will enjoy it. And so will your kids, friends, neighbours everybody any anybody. Fantastic.

Aladdin (1992)
8/10
Aladdin one of the best films of my childhood
31 July 2015
I was 13 when this film was released, new into high school, trying hard not to like cartoons and animation. But Aladdin just grabbed hold of me and stayed with me to this day.

I think we watched it as a family as a treat for my younger brother, Robin Williams was just fantastic. He was so funny in this film his performance sticks in my mind.

My Favourite Song was by far "A Whole New World" on that magic carpet ride (common who didn't dream of being that when your stuck in a boring maths class), Peabo Bryson and Regina Belle a lovely beautiful ballad I was singing long after!

Don't ever say your too old for this movie!

The Lion King (1994)
10/10
Another Disney Classic Inspired by Hamlet 10 out of 10
31 July 2015
Disney's Lion King brings Shakespeare's Hamlet to life through Jungle creatures with some beautiful songs, I just can't wait to be king, my personal favourite. Well done Elton John for music. The film has some amazing animation and the cast every single one of them deliver's performances to remember. The story might be hard for young children but that fact is as the song says The Circle of Life its not easy no matter if your Human or Animal.

I was a teenager when it was released but I remember riding in friend's cars when it was the fashion to have big base speakers in the boot and Just can't wait to be king's base was almost made for this scenario!

All time great watch it at least once a month and never ever get bored.

Frozen (I) (2013)
8/10
A wonderful story with sing a long songs
31 July 2015
Frozen is a wonderful Disney movie in the true spirit with sing a long songs and lovable characters. Kids go mad for the toys and are singing all the songs every minute of everyday.

I credit Menzel and Bell for the storyline, film score.

Its a film that can be enjoyed by children of all ages including the big ones! Personal experience shows during the theatrical performance none of the kids wanted for bathroom or snacks there were just engrossed in the film.

I can honestly say that its been a while since a film could do that. Now the only critique is the kids won't stop playing it over and over. Thank god for digital otherwise I think they would have worn out a VHS tape by now :)

One of Disney's greatest ever classics
31 July 2015
I think this is one of if not the first film to be nominated for best picture at the Oscars. With that in mind it shows what a true classic Disney produced with Beauty and the Best.

Beautiful Story, Lovable Characters, amazing animation, in every way this film is wonderful. Perfect.

Simple girl from a small town in France daughter of an inventor, the local village hunk wants to date her, but she doesn't want him. Her father is taken hostage, she trades places and then falls in love with the man who was holding him prisoner.

Make sure you have a box of tissues when you watch this film I guarantee there will not be a dry eye in the house!
