My Definitive Ranking Of Disney Animated Movies

Animated Disney movies are staples of my childhood. There are tons of Disney movies I could probably recite to you because I have watched them so many times. Here is my definitive ranking of the top ten animated Disney movies. *DISCLAIMER: These are MY top ten. There are dozens of other movies that are awesome and deserve a shout out, but this is just my personal opinion.

10. Jungle Book

This movie follows Mowgli and Baloo, unlikely friends who navigate through the dangers of the jungle together. To me, this movie holds a lot of nostalgia. It is my grandma's favorite Disney movie and one I remember watching many times at her house, on her pull out couch. As an added bonus, "Bare Necessities" is such a catchy song.

9. Finding Nemo

I feel like everybody knows and loves this Disney movie. Marlin and Dory set out to rescue Marlin's son Nemo and there are so many memorable scenes from this movie -- including one of my favorites with the seagulls and Dory speaking whale.

8. Cinderella

One of the true Disney Classics and one of my favorites, although I do have some issues with the plot. How did she not notice her shoe fell off? Does nobody else in the entire kingdom have the same shoe size as Cinderella? These things keep me up at night.

7. Aristocats

People are sometimes surprised when I say that this is one of my top ten. Aristocats follows the tale of a kitten family, who's owner wills her entire estate to. The family includes three cute, troublemaking kittens including my favorites, Marie. The music in this movie is also highly underrated, there are tons of great songs in this movie.

6. Big Hero 6

This made my top ten because of Baymax, the inflatable super hero of the movie. He is both adorable and the comic relief. On top of that, the movie is full of heart and made me cry in certain spots. I truly don't think this movie gets enough recognition in the Disney Animation collection.


5. Frozen

You had to know this was coming, right? The entire nation fell in love with Frozen, and for good reasons too. I love the sister storyline, the twist of (spoiler alert!) Hans being the bad guy and Olaf, the world's most adorable and loving snowman. It's hard not to like this movie.

4. Tangled

This is Disney's take on the classic story of Rapunzel, and honestly they made it ten times better. There are so many moments and characters in Tangled that make the movie a classic -- Flynn Ryder and his "smolder", Maximus, the singing villains from the Snuggly Ducky saloon -- I could go on.


3. Emperor's New Groove

This movie is just pure fun. This isn't a princess finding her prince, this isn't a noble, awesome journey -- this is the story of a selfish emperor being turned into a llama by his jealous administrator and the journey it takes to change him back to a human. Kronk makes the entire movie and there's too many funny scenes for me to pick a favorite.


2. 101 Dalmatians

I was obsessed with this movie when I was younger, and the obsession carried over to my adulthood. All the puppies have their own personalities, and Cruella de Ville is quite possibly the best, if not most fashionable, villain around because it is so easy to hate her. Plus, the song named after her is extremely catchy and infectious.


1. Beauty and the Beast

This is by far my favorite Disney movie to date, and I really don't think anything will top it. Belle and the Beast are such awesome characters to get behind and the entire enchanted castle just makes the whole thing fun. "Be Our Guest" might be the best scene is Disney Animation history, but then again, maybe I'm biased.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
