Movies to watch before disney(older)

[jessica29]

I wanted to show my kids some movies that relate to the attractions and was trying to get suggestions. I know all the recent ones, cars, princesses,etc. I am not looking for those.

I am looking for ones kids these days may not be familiar with. I thought of tom sawyer (for ts island). and steamboat willie. What else?

Splash Mountain has theming from Song of the South.It may be hard to find but you can watch clips from youtube.

My kids weren't really familiar with Mary Poppins or Alice in Wonderland, they just didn't get into them, but they love them now that they are back from seeing the "real" person. LOL

I guess I am lucky to be old enough to have seen Song of The South at the drive-in when I was young. I still remember a lot of it. Disney has appearently determined it would be in poor taste to allow it to be shown now. I still love the songs.

You did not say how old your kids are but if they are old enough to "get" them make sure they have seen Indiana Jones and Honey I shrunk the kids. I really think my kids enjoyed those shows more because they had seen the movies.

My kids LOVE Swiss Family Robinson. That's a must-see if you're going to their treehouse.

I guess reading the stories about Uncle Remus isn't the same without the catchy music is it?

Again, depending on how old they are, Pirates of the Caribbean! Yo ho, yo ho! Peter Pan. The new Alice in Wonderland movie comes out before too long. I can't wait to see that!

It comes out the day we are at disney! I like the one that was on tv back in 1985. I was 5 then so I guess it has sentimental value to me. I haven't cared for the other ones I have seen. I am just not excited about he new one.

I am doing the same thing! Jungle Book is on my list as I think there are alot of characters in parades etc in AK. I would add Lion King to the list for the same reason!

I agree. Swiss Family Robinsons is a must see and my kids LOVE it.

We watched Swiss Family Robinson last weekend. We've never been to the treehouse in Adventureland and now after seeing the movie, it's at the top of our list.

Jungle Book characters are around the park - Baloo and another one - don't remember his name! Kids enjoyed the vast size of them!

 

[Rose DiVerona]

I agree: the treehouse is a must-see. It is so amazing! Tom Sawyer is a good idea, and is Song of the South (although I've never been able to find that one and Splash Mountain is my favorite ride ). Really, any classic Disney is wonderful.

Disney's The Haunted Mansion with Eddie Murphy. I love watching that one before our trips

I know this is an old post but you can find Song of the South on Ebay, I'm not sure it's worth if for you or your family for what most people are asking though. You can also watch it on Youtube here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2BtjW7PW2z0
