 | The Secret of NIMH (2-Disc Family Fun Edition)
Buy new: $14.98 / Used from: $8.58 Nothing like the book, which I read around 5th grade, but it is still a classic, and introduces who would become a voiceover regular, Dom DeLuise, as Jeremy the crow.
|
 | The Last Unicorn
Buy new: $7.99 / Used from: $4.97 I am indeed pathetic in that I have not watched this till I turned 18 instead of growing up with it. Now I wish I had. Another classic
|
 | Pocahontas (Disney Gold Classic Collection)
Buy used from: $7.95 A childhood favorite and not as cliched as other Disney movies. Interesting take on the story of this Native American woman. Plus a memorable score and songs by the master Alan Menken.
|
 | The Hunchback of Notre Dame
Buy new: $16.49 / Used from: $8.90 same deal as Pocahontas. Saw it in theatres as an innocent little girl. But age has revealed the darker side to this movie, a rare occurence in Disney today.
|
 | The Prince of Egypt
Buy new: $10.49 / Used from: $4.27 A personal favorite as it retells the Exodus story which I have been hearing for my whole life every year at Passover. Stephen Schwartz provides the songs.
PS. the parting of the Red Sea is the most mindblowing sequence ever!
|
 | The Road to El Dorado
Buy new: $11.99 / Used from: $4.07 This is the same company for POE, but much more comical. Still great computer graphics. Elton John provides songs here. Kevin Kline and Kenneth Branagh would probably play their parts in a live action version if they wanted to, they do so good.
|
 | Atlantis - The Lost Empire
Buy new: $16.49 / Used from: $1.99 Underrated Disney movie that takes cues from Jules Verne and Hayao Miyazaki. I even named my dog after Princess Kida.
|
 | Watership Down
Buy used from: $5.61 Saw this, then read the book. A lot is left out from the book, but it still holds its own. And I can't forget Zero Mostel as the seagull
|
 | Wizards
Buy new: $12.49 / Used from: $6.47 Okay, so it looks like some 2 year old drew it, but it still has a strong center plotwise despite the protagonists consisting of a ball of hair that's supposed to be a great wizard and an empty-headed, skimpy dressed fairy. Has some disturbing fight sequences that blew my mind as an adolescent
|
 | Titan A.E. (Special Edition)
Buy used from: $2.18 Did not have high expectations when I first saw this, but it is a fast paced, well voiced, and quite interesting movie. Makes me wonder what would happen to us if we didn't have a planet anymore...
|
 | Anastasia
Buy used from: $12.95 We know now that she died with the rest of the family, but to go back to when the rumor was still there. I myself believed she was alive when this movie came out. I was 8, okay?
|
 | Thumbelina
Buy used from: $5.16 another movie that I have owned since it came out. Watched it countless times as a child, but every once in a while, I come back to it as a young woman to revel in the childhood memories <3
|
 | Once Upon a Forest
Buy new: $14.98 / Used from: $9.15 if you're a Broadway buff like me, you'll watch this even if you're too old just to hear Michael Crawford and Ben Vereen

Listmania!
