"Classic" Disney movies represented at WDW?

[missmary]

My kids really like some of the less-marketed Disney movies like The Rescuers Down Under, The Fox and The Hound, The Jungle Book, Lady and the Tramp and 101 Dalamtions. Are there any areas of WDW where we can enjoy characters or places out of these movies? When I look at the offerings on-line it sometimes feels like princess movies get all the glory!

tony's town square is themed after lady & the tramp.. they also have giant figures over at pop century

also at pop century is a giant baloo (and mowgli i think?)

baloo and king louie also do meet & greets in the parks. there's also a hidden baloo in DAK

all star movies has a 101 dalmations themed section, there are themed photo ops in exposition hall in main street and cruela does occasional meet & greets

Mary Poppins! That's our favorite.

Cruella de Vil and a couple of Jungle Book characters do sometimes make appearances... and that's about it!

Also I'm pretty sure there's a hidden Shere Khan at AKL.

I'm not sure other places that have not been mentioned, but I just wanted to say your kids are fabulous. Those are all great movies.

not so much about movies,but we are sorely dissapointed that the classic cartoon channel at the resorts has been eliminated. i thinkthey should have a classic cartoon and classic movie channel at the resorts.

Yes, but you can't rent or buy this movie in the US so it kind of doesn't count.

I actually watched it for the first time on Youtub last week, each segment is 10 min long then you click for the next one.

There is an awesome topiary of lady and the tramp in Italy in the world showcase.

POP has huge figures on their grounds with Lady, Tramp, and I seem to recall even Mowgli and Balloo? If you have time, the grounds at POP are a lot of fun to wander through -- I literally took 100+ pictures just around the grounds...the beautiful flowers and trees, every single one of the huge figures, the stairwells (My girls loved the yo-yos and the cell phones), the pools, the in-ground fountain (the kind that shoot out from the ground) that kids can play in, the car, the in-ground Twister area (my girls loved playing Twister there), etc.

i thinkthey should have a classic cartoon and classic movie channel at the resorts.

I think they should add a new Disney channel that runs nothing but "classic" Walt Disney shows/movies period! The current channel isn't good for kids or adults to watch.
