Best Animated Disney Movies
Walt Disney studios first began working on short animated films in 1923. Then in 1937, Walt Disney released its first animated feature film, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. They have produced many more movies since then.
These are my all time favorite animated Disney movies of all time. I have fond memories of watching all of these movies as a child with my mom. I have the great pleasure of enjoying these movies with my own daughter now. She is like me and is a disney fanatic. We have a movie night almost every weekend and we usually will pick a disney movie to watch.
Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs
In 1937 Walt Disney released it’s first animated film, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. Jealous of Snow White’s beauty, the wicked queen orders the murder of her innocent stepdaughter. But later discovers that Snow White is still alive and hiding in a cottage with seven friendly little miners. Disguising herself as a hag, the queen brings a poisoned apple to Snow White, who falls into a death-like sleep that can be broken only by a kiss from the prince.
My all time favorite character is this movie is Dopey. I am thinking of getting dopey as my next tattoo.
