1. Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (1937):
Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, widely regarded as Disney’s first-ever full-length animated film, exposed viewers to the fantastical world of Disney animation. In a tale that has endured the ages, this timeless classic brought to life a stunning princess, a cunning queen, and endearing dwarfs. Snow’s story had a powerful emotional impact, and its animation, colour, music, and design were of a calibre never before seen on screen. At the time, cartoons were brief and straightforward, but Snow White showed that they could be sophisticated, solidifying Walt Disney’s reputation as a great visionary.
2. The Lion King (1994):
Set in the African savannah, The Lion King is one of Disney’s most beloved films and tells a gripping story. With endearing characters like Simba, Nala, and the sage Mufasa, this touching story of love, grief, and redemption never fails to move viewers everywhere. Shakespeare’s tragedy The Lion King is ultimately about maturing, becoming a parent, and how trauma and love alter how we see the world and our place in it.
3. Beauty and the Beast (1991):
A timeless story, Beauty and the Beast enthrals viewers with stunning animation and catchy soundtrack. Millions of people have been touched by this tale of love that transcends appearances and embodies the essence of Disney enchantment. The film, which, depending on who you ask, is either a quirky love story or a serious case of Stockholm syndrome, is supported by amazing songs by Alan Menken and Howard Ashman and animation that faithfully follow the original work. Disney handles Beauty and the Beast with a light touch that yet pays homage to the story’s most important ideas, despite the fact that it feels like a grim tale.
4. The Little Mermaid (1989):
Ariel is a youthful, inquisitive mermaid who longs to explore the human world. She was first presented to audiences through the colourful underwater environment of The Little Mermaid. This movie launched Disney animation into a new era with its catchy score and lovable characters. Ariel is a very captivating heroine; she is an ocean princess who yearns to be human and falls in love with a land-based prince. The score, which features hits like “A Part of Your World,” “Under the Sea,” and “Kiss the Girl,” was written by Alan Menken and Howard Ashman. The soundtrack was so popular that it was hailed as the film that introduced Broadway to cartoons and took home two Oscars.
5. Aladdin (1992):
Aladdin, the beloved street urchin and his enchanted genie, is a story of romance and adventure set in the enchanted Arabian Nights. This film is still a favourite among viewers because of its amazing animation, catchy soundtrack, and clever humour. In addition to having one of Disney’s greatest soundtracks to date, Aladdin features a rags-to-riches tale full of romance, glitz, and wisecracking one-liners. Robbie Williams’s voice acting skills, which elevated the genie to a legendary status and added outrageous humour to an already excellent script, are part of an amazing cast.
6. Cinderella (1950):
Cinderella is a film with a melancholic tone and gentle, pastel colours. It’s the one that you can always feel so at ease going back to. Imagine the little mice in their tiny gowns, running around with thread and needles, or the way soap bubbles may float up into the air and form colourful kaleidoscopes. The finest part of the story is when the Fairy Godmother conjures up a dress for Cinderella to wear to the ball and it manifests from stardust and wishes. This one’s for the dreamers.
7. Toy Story (1995):
Although Toy Story was the film that first opened our eyes to the possibilities of animation, it was the first of its kind that truly explored the core of what could make these films so devastating. Toy Story 2 is funny and heartbreaking at the same time since it separates Woody from the other toys in Andy’s room and introduces new, cynical toys that now realise that a child’s love is never lasting. Toy Story 2 skilfully counterbalances its mature themes with a plethora of masterfully choreographed set pieces, one of which is an incredibly clever one in which the toys try to manoeuvre a traffic cone across a busy street.
8. Moana (2016):
As a contemporary Disney masterpiece, Moana is distinguished by its celebration of Pacific Island culture and its inspirational tale of a young girl who sets out on a risky quest to save her people. Moana has become an instant classic because to its amazing animation and stirring song. The end product is a gorgeous adventure free of romantic clichés that centres on a brave and selfless woman (as well as a clucking chicken voiced by Alan Tudyk). If you still think it’s not enough, watch Moana just for the water. Really, those impacts will make your hairline quickly rise up through your eyebrows.
9. Frozen (2013):
The globe was enthralled with Frozen’s powerful message, enduring music, and lovable characters. Elsa and Anna, two sisters, star in this contemporary fairy tale that went on to become a worldwide phenomenon that captivated audiences of all ages and took home two Academy Awards. Even if you haven’t watched the movie Frozen, you’ve undoubtedly heard the theme song, “Let it go.” Elsa’s visage has swiftly established itself as a staple on kids’ lunchboxes worldwide.
10. Mulan (1998):
Inspiring tale of a young woman who poses as a male to replace her father in the Chinese army is told in Mulan. Breaking conventional gender stereotypes, this film resonates with audiences and promotes daring and self-empowerment. The magnificent artwork elevates the Disney Holy Trinity of tale, song, and setting—from a smouldering battlefield to Mulan’s cosy garden—and features calligraphic curves that have never been seen in a Disney film before. The tale of Mulan never grows old.
Conclusion:
Over the years, Disney has created a staggering number of cherished films, but these ten stands out above the rest. Every movie, from timeless favourites like Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs to contemporary smashes like Frozen, has captured the hearts of audiences and made an enduring impression on cinematic history. Audiences all over the world are still inspired, amused, and left with lifelong memories by the magic and artistry of Disney films.
