Top 10 Classic Disney Movies

There are so many Disney movies that mean something to me. This list is just a small sampling of those movies. I didn't include any of the Marvel movies or Pixar, I wanted to focus on the classics from my childhood. These are just a some of the movies that I have loved my whole life.


1. Hercules:

I absolutely love Greek mythology, ever since I was little. I really like learning about all of the gods and the demigods. Hercules for me, was a way to learn more about that history in a fun way. The songs are amazing as well and are still classics today. Hades has to be my favorite villain out of everyone too. He is bad but he is really funny in the movie.

2. Beauty and the Beast:

This was my very first Disney movie when I was 1 year old. It has always been one of my favorite movies because it was the one that started my love for Disney. The main song, Tale As Old As Time, is my Dad and mine's special song. He cries every time that he hears it.

3. The Sword in the Stone:

This is another movie where my initial love came from the real history. I love everything England and medieval so I instantly fell in love with this movie. It sparked further interest in the time period which I am still interested in today. I love Merlin and Archimedes are my favorite characters. The two of them together is just so funny and sarcastic.

4. Black Cauldron:


I have no idea why  I love this movie so much. I guess I just really love the Disney movies that everyone seems to forget about. I found the Horned King fascinating but evil, more evil than any other villain that I had seen before. Most other Disney villains have a hint of humor to them and they seem human in every sense of the word. The Horned King does not fit that mold which makes him all the more intriguing.

5. Treasure Planet:

Another forgotten classic of Disney's. The story of pirates and treasure island is one that has been told over and over again. This had the same plot but the location and characters makes it so much different than any other retelling of the story. I love the link pink blob, Morph too!

6. Muppet Treasure Island:

This is my all-time favorite Muppet movie! That's really all I can say about this movie. I love the songs, I love the characters, I love everything about it. The jokes are cheesy but that is what makes the Muppets so much fun.

7. Hocus Pocus:

I watch the movie every Halloween and pretty much all of October. Every 90's kid grew up with this movie. I don't remember when I first watched it but it quickly became a classic to so many people. I can't listen to the original version of "I Put a Spell on You" without hearing the movie version in my head.

8. The Great Mouse Detective:

This is another Disney movie that isn't very popular. This movie started my love for all things mystery and crime solving. This was the first version of Sherlock Holmes that I was exposed to as a kid. I still love all things Sherlock Holmes today.

9.The Muppet Christmas Carol:

I watch this movie every year on Christmas Eve. It has been a tradition of mine every since my parents allowed a TV in my room. This story has been done over and over but adding my favorite Muppets added a little more to the story. I always love how every Muppet character is incorporated into the movies.

10. The Nightmare Before Christmas:

This movie was my Grandma's favorite movie before she passed away. Now every time that I see some from the movie I can't help but to think of her. This is also one of the few Halloween movies that I will actually watch because it isn't scary.

There you have it, my top 10 Classic Disney Movies. There are so many of the Disney movies that I love that this list was pretty hard to make. I decided to choose the ones that I loved as a kid and still love as an adult. Most of them aren't very popular anymore and they get little to no recognition at the parks. But to me they will always be special.
