My favorite older Disney cartoon was Robin Hood. We watched that over and over again.
As a mom, I really do not like the live actor movies. I believe they portray adults as idiots and kids as intelligent and extremely disrespectful. That is not how I want my children to act, so we avoid those movies. But the cartoons are still on the table.

I love Disney movies. I like them because they are a way in which children can indirectly approach classic books, besides the stories are beautiful. I wouldn't know what my favorite movie is, but I prefer animated movies to live action movies.

My favorite old-time movie is Beauty and the Beast. I love how Belle was able to see through the obvious faults in the Beast and love him regardless. I feel that true love works exactly like this in real-life relationships. If you can't accept and work through the faults in your significant other, then there is no true love in that relationship.

Aladdin is my favorite live-action Disney remake. I was worried that Will Smith would destroy Robin William's charm in the remake, but I feel that he added onto Robin's character! Will Smith himself even posted on social media that he had large shoes to fill and that he wanted to make Robin proud. I can say that Will did an excellent job making Robin proud and the music that he sang in Aladdin was catchy!
I do not really love Disney movies because many of them have twisted origins. You can not believe how twisted they are.

Oh my gosh, I know! I recall something about Peter Pan and Cinderella mentioning murder in the original stories. I think Disney wanted to make them less horrifying for kids, if I had to take a guess.

I am a HUGE Disney fan and probably still know most of the words of the movies 🤣
There are a whole lot of new animations that are great like Frozen, but I feel the older ones will always hold my heart! I will never be too old for Disney

I absolutely love Disney films. Even now as an adult I still love to watch them. The remakes are alright but you can't beat the original animated ones, they are simply timeless. My favourite animated Disney film has to be Mulan. She epitomizes female strength, determination, courage and independence and that is what Disney heroines are all about. Yes, they fall in love and get married but they do it their way.

Not really. I like the old Disney movies better than the new ones. I have kids so guess I will have to learn to like it. 🤣

I used to adore Disney as a child. Remakes were their only means of redemption as they grew older because they lacked creativity. The majority of these remakes are now bad, and they kind of spoil my youth.

For sure! I grew up watching most of the Disney Classics, such as Little Mermaid, Beauty and the Beast, Aladdin etc. They taught me morals and shaped the way I viewed society for the better part of my life. I think Disney is still nailing it with new releases like Frozen and Encanto and I'm really happy for those whose childhood these movies will become part of.

I have always loved Disney movies since I was kid because of the manner I easily relate with the stories. Another factor is Disney movies always give you a feeling of satisfaction at the end because there is seldom a sad ending.
