I have always loved Disney movies. I haven't seen any of the new ones for a while and I think it's because I mostly spend my time watching series, but I regularly rewatch a few favourites.

I love Disney. I grew up watching the movies and dreaming of being a Disney Princess. I think that so many of my morals and qualities are founded on those movies.

I LOVE DISNEY! Every time I watch a Disney movie, I always get stuck in the Disney world and only get back to reality like weeks after. I get obsessed with the songs over and over again and wish the Disney movies happen in real life! wishful thinking!

I love Disney movies! I prefer the old, animated versions, but I've watched every live action or remake that has been made because I can't help myself. Some of them I really enjoyed, like The Beauty and the Beast and The Jungle Book live actions but I would still choose the originals.
My favorite Disney movie is The Lion King, it was the first movie I ever saw in a movie theater so it has a very special place in my heart. I love the story, the songs, the characters!
I also really like Tangled and Coco which are more recent, but just as good. I always get excited when they announce new Disney movies. There will come a time when I'm old and you'll still find me in a movie theater, full of kids watching them with a smile on my face.

I love disney movies. I have watched many Disney movies since childhood and i still watch it every now and then. I think some live-action movies could have done better. I recently watched Aladdin live-action movie. And i really liked it. I love the fact that they portrayed Jasmine as the brave princess which she is. The movie had the essence of the original version.

I liked the older Disney Movies. The new live-action remakes just seem like they are out of good ideas. The remakes are too similar and don't add many new aspects.

I love Disney movies, and I easpecially like Beauty and the Beast.

A lot of the live-action remakes strike me as pointless, especially if they do nothing but recapitulate the original story. On the other hand, any changes to the story have to be handled carefully. I'd say Maleficent was one of the better remakes, for it took the novel approach of telling the story from her point of view. The remake of Lion King did not interest me at all, because the filmmakers made it photorealistic. Consequently, the animals were far less expressive than their animated counterparts.

I don't think I'll ever be old enough to watch a Disney movie! What I love most about them is how they appeal to both adults (the jokes aimed at older audiences are hilarious) and children. I also love how all the Disney movies link together someway or another - very clever!

Disney movies were a staple growing up and I hope to make it the same for my children. Robin Hood was a favorite as well as Beauty and the Beast.

I absolutely LOVE Disney movies! I grew up watching them on repeat. I will never be too old to watch a Disney movie! One of my all time favourites was Hercules.

Probably all of us didn't pass our nice childhood without the touch of Disney movies. Indeed, Disney taught me that life had many twist and turn and lessons to keep.

I love Disney! I do my best to appreciate all the films regardless of if I liked it or not because I know there was a lot of work put into it and that should be acknowledged. That being said, I rarely find myself not liking a movie or having it take away from my wonderful memories with Disney. Though there have been some like the ending of Toy Story 4. I don't hate it, but it didn't make me feel anything like the 3rd movie's ending did.

I just think Disney gives this wonderful message of hope, especially with Cinderella. She's my favorite Disney princess and I feel like she gets a lot of hate for being weak when in reality she was so strong. In a situation that would've easily made so many of us bitter or extremely sad and make us give up, Cinderella stayed hopeful and believed in her dreams. I feel like it hits home especially today because we're stuck in a situation that seems so hopeless, but it's so important to keep that hope alive, even if it's only a little bit. Looking at Cinderella gives me someone to aspire to be and an example to follow during these troubling times.

That's why I love Disney so much with it's new and old movies. There's just an innate sense and message of hoping and believing and holding onto that even if the entire world thinks you're crazy for it. That's why I love Disney.

Absolutely! There is something so exquisitely magical about disney films. They transport you back to the feeling of being a kid and believing in the good of the world. They are also often times ones that touch on very good topics.
