What are the "must-see" Disney movies for kids?

[AussieDisneyNut]

Hi everyone ...

We are taking our 3 kids (5 , 7 , 10 ) to Disneyland for the first time next year and I was just wondering about which Disney movies people think are "must-see" for them so that they will get maximum enjoyment out of meeting the characters etc. They have seen quite a few Disney movies such as Toy Story 1,2,3, Cinderella, Aladdin, but there are many they haven't yet seen. What do you think are the "must-see" movies? Thanks for your ideas!

Personally, I love it when my daughter understands the lesser known movies/attractions. One of her faves is The Three Caballeros, so she flipped last year when she met Donald wearing a sarapi. It's been 10 years since I've been to Disneyland, but I'd probably watch Peter Pan and Dumbo with them, since those are classic rides. And I might even watch Indiana Jones with the 10 year old, if I thought she'd be OK with it, as that ride was awesome. (And the movies are awesome too, of course.)

Have a great time!

alice in wonderland
sleeping beauty

princess and the frog
beauty and the beast

i've never watched them but maybe those new tinkerbell movies cuz they have that whole "pixie hallow" character section now thats pretty cool

Is Wind in the Willows the one that goes with Mr. Toad's Wild Ride? That ride was so bizarre.

Thanks for your suggestions. I am slowly working through the Disney back catalogue. Just got Lilo & Stitch and my DS 5 is obsessed with it!

We have slowly been moving through the back catalogue ... tonight we watched "A Bugs Life" and the kids really enjoyed it. I am still debating which Star Wars movie to start them on ... no 1. or no. 4 "a new hope". We first saw no. 4 when it was first released (does that age us!!!) Anyone have an opinion?? Thanks anyway
