Experience the Classics at the Disney Movie Club

By Sume Diang

Whose childhood favorite animated movie was NOT a Disney movie? Grandparents often choose a Disney movie for their pre-schoolers. They know they can rely on the plot to be engaging, the dialog to be family friendly, and the action to be non-stop-and there is always something entertaining to the "grown ups" in the theater, too. Just consider the recent release Ratatouille! If you glanced in any theater, you could find a cross section of Americans watching Ratatouille, entranced. People of all ages and all interests are enchanted by what has for years been labeled magic. The Disney Movie Club lets you own Disney favorites from all eras. Hundreds of titles are offered.

There are feature length cartoons and adventure stories to choose from. Their list of titles for adults includes old favorite selections and recent hits such as Serendipity, The Sixth Sense, and Finding Neverland.

Recent hits for youth, such as Ratatouille and The Pirates of the Caribbean movies, are offered by the dozens. Watch for new titles in their regular mailing, but do not neglect to page through all the titles. Finding a long lost film from your younger days like The Brave Little Toaster or Oliver and Company can be very exciting. Watching these classics of yesterday can be like finding an old friend!

And depending on your generation, you may have a little catching up to do! If you were not a kid or did not have children to take to the theatre in the mid 90's, for instance, you likely missed films like Pocahontas and Mulan. What about if you missed the Disney of the 60's, 70's or 80's?! 101 Dalmations, The Sword and the Stone, and Bedknobs and Broomsticks! After so much time making movies, Disney has just about turned out more entertainment than one person can view during a lifetime!

Feeding that little trace of childhood left within you is good for you. Walt Disney always loved making people happy, and for decades that is just what the company he founded has been doing. Joining the Disney Movie Club is a great way to bring home the magic.
