I love Beauty and the Beast, Cinderella, and Tangled. I watch them over and over again. I never grow tired of watching them.

I love the older Disney movies, but I feel that the newer ones lack an element of originality and that values are not the same in the movies that are made now. Disney movies are usually stories that end with a happy ending and we need that in the world that we live in.

I am a big fan. It's like what everyone grew up on, all the fairytales are just a big part of me at this point. The one that had the biggest impact on me however was the little mermaid. It was the first Disney show I ever saw.

I know that I am too old for them,but i really enjoy Disney movies. I like fairy tales and especially the part of the 'happy ever after'. I even drag my boyfriend with me to the cinema to watch them together.

I really liked the little mermaid remake with the live action mixed into the original film. That was unique.

I love the old Disney movies! I wouldn't call myself a big fan, but your average daily fan at least. It's unfortunate that I've met so few people who have watched the old original versions of Disney movies. I like Disney movies because it used to be everything to me as a kid. I would get home from school, do my homework, and go straight to watching a Disney movie on a VCR tape. Disney movies have come a long way from the past and I'm glad to see more and more races and cultures being represented.

I cannot emphasize enough how much of a Disney fan I am. I, too, love the animated classics. They have brought me so much magic and joy throughout my life that I cannot imagine living without them.

Aside from books, Disney has been the glue uniting my friend group. On multiple occasions, I have even discussed with them just how unnecessary the live action remakes are. Although we sometimes can appreciate the live action films bringing something unique to the original story, I think the general consensus is that Disney should stick to making original animation. After all, there are so many stories and cultures around the world Disney can draw inspiration from. Surely they don’t need to rely purely on nostalgia when fans would be just as excited for something new?

My all-time favorite Disney film is The Little Mermaid. I have always had a fascination for mermaids and other mythological creatures, but I especially love Ariel because she is a fellow redhead.

Other Disney favorites include Moana, Tangled, and The Lion King, but I’m honestly not picky. Just put on any animated Disney film and I’ll be happy.

Yes, I'm a big fan of Disney movies especially when I was younger.

I love the Renaissance Disney movies. The main reason is most likely the fact that I grew up with them.

Yeah, I agree with you. I feel the same about the remakes. I still watch the old disney movies. I can watch them on repeat but the new ones.

The fact that I grew up with the old Disney remakes has only reinforced my decision to raise my children on them! My one-year-old LOVES them.

Disney is my childhood and adulthood. From watching the Disney classics to newer films, it has been an amazing journey. Pixar joining Disney has been the best decision ever. I am a huge fan of Moana. Unlike other Disney Princesses who needed to be saved, Moana saved herself. That is an important message that young girls should know.
