How Old Are Your Favorite Disney Films?

I have a special little cupboard where I keep all of our Walt Disney children’s classics. OK, it is a pretty big cupboard and it is loaded with both DVDs and VHS tapes. Truth be told, I started collecting Disney movies long before I ever had children. Heck, I was collecting them long before I ever met my husband! I love the Disney classics and even some of the more recent children’s movies made by Disney/Pixar and I love that my kids are enjoying them too. The funny thing about Disney movies is that I could probably tell you where I saw each one for the first time. The really funny thing is that I’m probably not the only parent who can say that!

The other day, my son informed me that he wanted to watch Dumbo for the umpteenth time. Out of curiosity, I checked the date on the movie. 1941. Dumbo was made in 1941. My own mother wasn’t even born then! Isn’t it amazing how one company can create movies that so many generations of us love and want to watch over and over again?

Take a glance at this list and think about how many of them you’ve seen, and how many you probably own. Notice how many are your favorites and your children’s favorites. Then take a look at just how old those movies really are!

Thanks to the magic of Disney, none of us really age at all.
