Several Disney Movies Everyone Should See

By Chris Channing

It would be tough to imagine a childhood without the magic that Walt Disney had created. His legacy lives on in the form of new and exciting works of art his company continues to produce. But among them all, a few shining stars in the rough stand out among the rest- and likewise have importance in watching.

Cartoons weren't commonly seen as masterpieces of art until movies such as The Lion King came out. The Lion King made ample use of the elements and colors to make a truly invigorating experience. But after the appeal of the environment diminishes, the intriguing plot and storyline comes to be the main attraction of the film. In addition, morals and ethics are taught to young kids as characters in the movie battle their own troubles and hardships.

The Fox And The Hound was another cartoon put out by Disney that defied the cartoon standards of not being completely "serious." This flick was all about the tragedy that comes from parting ways in life with others, among many other things to be taken from the main plot line. The level of depth in the storyline is comparable to notable movies such as the previously mentioned The Lion King.

As time went on, Disney started focusing on 3D imagery and design. This was made apparent in the the 2003 release of Finding Nemo. Finding Nemo might not have had the "killer storyline" that previous titles had, but it was indeed revolutionary in terms of comedy and 3D modeling. The exciting romp through the ocean with Nemo and pals is not just a treat for kids, but adults alike.

Quite a few of the Disney movies that were greats were indeed cartoons, but this isn't always the case. The Pirates Of The Caribbean: The Curse Of The Black Pearl is an example of a movie that wasn't reminiscent of a cartoon at all. Instead, this movie set in a pirate's world had leading actor Johnny Depp fighting his way through his problems on screen in a formidable pirate uniform- and winning the hearts of young ladies everywhere.

In closing, the proper Disney fan should take a long look at Cars. This Disney movie may not have the nostalgic value others do as it is newer, but it carries the cute and witty charm that similar Disney favorites have- such as Finding Nemo. Cars in particular had a cult following of kids and teens all across the nation, although it's hard to find a Disney movie that hasn't at some point in time.

Closing Comments

Disney movies continue to better the ones before them, with few exceptions. There are too many Disney movies to discuss in a single sitting, especially when considering some olden classics such as Fantasia or Tron. If at all possible, make a visit to your local video store and pick up a few of the mentioned topics- it's well worth the rental price in gold.
