A lion-sized hit at the picture palace when information technology starting time came out, this sparkling blitheness has only gone from strength to strength since—with a theatre spin-off, a remake and virtually a bazillion rewatches on Disney+ to its name. Simba, the panthera leo cub who grows from young pretender to regal presence at Pride Stone, is our flawed hero; Scar, the hissable villain; Pumba and Timbo, the fun and flatulent double act who provide the laughs.

Timeless heros, scary villains, adorable droids and all the mysteries of the Jedi share the screen for ii hours of matinee-mode magic that volition keep even the about restless youngling decorated.

Like the mostly lovely Akeelah and the Bee  (minus the troubling racial stereotypes), Mira Nair's Queen of Katwe  takes i of the least-exciting competitions out there – chess – and transforms information technology into the linchpin of a triumphant underdog story.

24. Mary Poppins (1964)

Compared to even 'sophisticated' juvenile forage, the sheer exuberance of Disney'south adaptation of PL Travers' children's archetype should tickle the most jaded fancy. Indeed, the film can inappreciably incorporate itself with its catalogue of memorable songs, battery of dance routines and potent supporting bandage. As for the leads, Julie Andrews, subsequently beating off other pretenders to the part (in part because Walt liked the way she whistled), produced an Academy Award-winning portrayal of the Edwardian nanny whose mad magic seethes beneath a patina of respectability that is, as Mary Poppins' references state, 'practically perfect in every style.'

Instead, Jack finds himself drawn to Christmas, a holiday he hasn't encountered beforehand. He does a bit of research and soon decides to stride on Santa's turf. Naturally, his holly jolly program is nothing short of a disaster.

32. Moana (2016)

With songs by Lin-Manuel Miranda and an eye-popping Polynesian setting, Disney ditches its princess routine (kind of) for the tale of a headstrong daughter seeking to save her island from an oceanic plague with the help of a swole demigod voiced by Dwaye Johnson. The film is as empowering as it is entertaining, and smartly sidesteps traditional conflicts for a more introspective, internal voyage of discovery... but don't worry, in that location's also a behemothic David Bowie-inspired crab monster thrown in to keep things moving.Rated PG.

34. The Jungle Book (1967)

In Disney'due south rendition of the Rudyard Kipling story, young orphan Mowgli sets out on a quest to learn more nigh his identity, with the assist of animal companions. The episodic nature ofThe Jungle Book is hit or miss—you'd exist forgiven for forgetting entire swaths of Mowgli'south journeying to find his way back to man.

Kermit & Co.'southward first big-screen hazard is a wild, meta road-trip comedy in which the frog leaves his swamp to pursue fame, pursued past a Colonel Sanders-esque frog-leg restauranteur all the while. With appearances by endless celebrities (look kids, it's Steve Martin and Mel Brooks), the film translated the absurdism ofThe Muppet Show seamlessly to screen, setting the bar impossibly high for any future entries. Simply hearing Kermit sing "The Rainbow Connection"—still an all-time neat moving-picture show song in any context—is worth the price of admission.Rated Yard.

Up (2009)

43. Up (2009)

Up'south heartbreaking opening montage rightfully gets all the attention when discussing Pixar'south Best Flick nominee, just across the tears that open the film is an admittedly bonkers yarn that includes prehistoric birds, heaven-high real estate and talking dogs engaged in aeronautic dogfights.

Robert Zemeckis' fourth dimension-travel classic is ane of the weirder blockbusters of its time: This is, after all, the story of a boy whisked back to the past and forced to fend off the lusty advances of his teenage mom.

Perhaps Disney'south near overtly political flick, Zootopia leverages the appeal of its ultra-cute anthromorphic animals—led by adorable bunny-cop Judy Hopps and conman fox Nick Wilde—to sneak in a sly story nigh segregation and racial profiling. That sounds heavy, merely the reasonZootopia works so well is that it seldom beats viewers over the head with its politics, choosing instead to tell an old-school Hollywood noir tale for the kiddie gear up and letting the subtext do the talking.Rated PG.
