A movie that has “Full House”’s Scott Weinger and the iconic Robin Williams in the cast is a guaranteed good time. Street urchin Aladdin finds a genie who grants wishes that make him a prince and win him the love of Princess Jasmine, all with one of the catchiest soundtracks around.

With loveable characters, exciting twists and turns, and a memorable but unconventional love story, Aladdin has something for everyone, and we ain’t never had a friend like him.
#9: “Encanto” (2021)
Top 10 Funniest Encanto Moments
Magic takes on a new meaning in this film about the magical Madrigal family. While every member has magical powers, one notable exception is Mirabel, who is left to wonder why she is lacking in her family’s extraordinary gift. Throughout the film we’re treated to some seriously replayable tunes while Mirabel tries to save her family’s magic by discovering her own. A refreshing look at family with a diverse perspective that has traditionally been unfamiliar territory for Disney, this movie is both meaningful and memorable. While it is a relatively new addition to the Disney film family, it has already made its mark as a classic tale, and its themes will surely stand the test of time.
#8: “Enchanted” (2007)
Enchanted Cast: Where Are They Now?
In this film, real-life meets fairytale when Amy Adams as Giselle finds herself in New York City, where she meets Patrick Dempsey’s dreamy character, Robert. A classic Disney princess, you can’t help but smile when Giselle appears on screen, as her bubbly personality and endearing optimism keep the magic of the film alive. Watching her grapple with the real world while Robert lets down his guard and lets love and fantasy into his mundane life is always fun. With a mixture of live-action and animation, comedy and drama, and reality and magic, “Enchanted” mixes in our favorite parts of Disney movies and showcases them perfectly.
#7: “Ratatouille” (2007)
The fact that this film makes us wish there was a rat in our kitchen is pretty remarkable. Remy is an aspiring chef living in a city that is known for one of the best cuisines in the world – Paris. The only catch is, he’s a rat, and like others of his kind, has been chased out of any kitchen he’s come within ten feet of. He seems destined to a life of eating garbage and wandering the streets - until he meets Alfredo Linguini. With his help, Remy finds himself at the helm of the kitchen. It’s an endearing flick, and it reminds us that we’re all capable of much more than the world may ever give us credit for.
#6: “Finding Nemo” (2003)
Top 10 Finding Nemo Easter Eggs You MISSED
This film that taught us to just keep swimming is a blast to watch even decades after its initial release. Marlin and Dory are on an adventure across the deep blue to find Marlin’s son, Nemo, who is on an adventure of his own in a dentist’s fish tank. As Marlin meets some recovered sharks, surfer sea turtles, and a horrifying amount of jellyfish, his companion Dory is there to provide much-appreciated comic relief. Nemo figuring out he’s stronger than he thinks he is while realizing there’s no place like home is a sentiment that resonates across generations, and we think this movie is definitely worth watching over and over.
#5: “Moana” (2016)
Top 10 Moana Easter Eggs You Missed
Who could possibly hate the incredible ocean and beaches of Ancient Polynesia? That’s especially true when they’re the backdrop for Moana, her dreamy songs, and a life changing mission that is nothing short of a treat to watch. Moana taught us about the importance of helping the planet, as we are all a part of a bigger ecosystem and are in charge of taking care of one another. And it’s all seen through the perspective of Polynesian culture. With characters like Maui by her side, Moana follows her path into the ocean and becomes a powerful young woman who fearlessly advocates for her people. It’s an empowering story for all audiences.
#4: “The Lion King” (1994)
Top 10 Satisfying Villain Deaths in Disney Movies - Best of WatchMojo
Although it’s Disney’s version of “Hamlet,” this film’s got plenty of bright and majestic moments, with timeless songs and themes that have cemented it as a modern classic. Centering around the birth, upbringing, and eventual crowning of Simba, “The Lion King” tells the story of the death of King Mufasa at the hands of his brother, Scar. The fallout leads to Simba escaping and learning a life without worry before returning and taking his rightful place on the throne. The film provides us with “Hakuna Matata,” teaches us about the circle of life, and has us feeling the love tonight - and every moment, sad or happy, has us hooked.
#3: “Beauty and the Beast” (1991)
Beauty and the Beast (2017) - Top 10 Facts!
Tale as old as time, song as old as rhyme. Belle can always be found with her nose in a book, and venturing out of her small town is unheard of. But, once she must rescue her father, she meets the beast, and takes her father’s place as his prisoner. While there, with the help of some household furniture, they learn that they’re both not as they seem on the surface. These characters are impressively multi-dimensional, with Belle being an empowered, educated woman, and the Beast being much more emotionally complex than any mere monster. Watching them fall for each other is heartwarming, and watching them end up together is the cherry on top of this timeless film.
#2: “Mary Poppins” (1964)
Top 10 Things You Missed in Mary Poppins Returns
This film, much like its main character, is practically perfect in every way. Mary Poppins is the nanny that most kids dream of, and when she comes to Jane and Michael’s house, they can hardly believe what their lives become. Getting to know the neighborhood chimney sweeps, venturing into chalk drawings that turn into fantastical worlds, and flying kites are just some of the fun times we see them experience. Filled with heartwarming storylines and heart touching songs, this movie has transcended generations for a reason. Julie Andrews as Mary Poppins really is a spoonful of sugar that helps the medicine go down, and it is in the most delightful way. Before we unveil our top pick, here are a few honorable mentions. “Inside Out” (2015) Seeing the Emotions in Riley’s Head Has a Positive Effect on Our Own “Toy Story” (1995) This Makes Us Wish Our Toys Would Come to Life,& Not Just When We Leave the Room “The Jungle Book” (2016) This Star-Studded Remake Has Us Forgetting About Our Worries and Our Strife “Up” (2009) We Let It Break Our Hearts Before It Lifts Our Spirits Right up to the Sky “Frozen” (2013) This Tale of Two Sisters is a Winter Wonderland of Enjoyment
