The Wonderful World of Disney Cartoons

If one thing can be said of Disney, it is that its cartoon movies have not lost a hint of charm since its beginning to today. From Mickey Mouse, to Toy Story, and everything in between Disney has not failed to keep audiences of all ages in love with the magical movies and characters it creates.

The first full length motion picture that Disney released was Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs in 1937. Although this was before most of our parents were born, young girls have most likely seen and fallen in love with this movie today along with other Disney princess movies like Cinderella (1950) and The Little Mermaid (1989). However these same kids may have gone to see the newest DisneThe Princess and the Frog (2009) and loved it just as much.

Critic John C. Flinn Sr. from Variety said about Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs: “So perfect is the illusion, so tender the romance and fantasy, so emotional are certain portions when the acting of the characters strikes a depth comparable to the sincerity of human players, that the film approaches real greatness.”

76 years later critic Eric D. Snider said of The Princess and the Frog “Somehow, the result is both magically old-fashioned and wonderfully modern, the natural evolution of the heartwarming, rib-tickling, toe-tapping Disney treasures of yesteryear.”

With Disney, the age of the film simply does not matter. Although the effects and technology may be improved from movie to movie, the experience of each movie remains the same. Kids enjoy each film as much as the generation before them.

Movies like Lady and the Tramp (1955) and The Lion King (1994) remain as some kids favorite movies today in 2013. In fact Lady and the Tramp made AFIs top 100 love stories of all-time list along with one other animated movie, Beauty and the Beast, another Disney movie!

While these older cartoons remain as kids favorite films today, that does not mean that Disney has slowed down in their new films. Not at all. Disney is still going strong, especially with its Pixar movies. Films like Finding Nemo, Monsters Inc., Up, Tangled and Brave have all received positive reviews with audiences. In fact just won the Oscar for best animated film in February.

Disney has not lost its magic, or its achievement to create children’s and critics favorite movies. After decades of creating hundreds of films, Disney cartoons are still the best cartoons.
