Like most children, I grew up on Disney. My favorite princess was Cinderella, I could sing along to almost any song, and I rocked Disney Trivia (when my sister wasn't playing). But Disney isn't the only company to produce movies that I adored throughout my childhood and still do today.
All Dogs Go To Heaven
Warning: This movie will make you cry! But you will love it. It
An American Tale
Who doesn't love a good adorable little mouse movie? This movie is super cute and if you enjoy The Great Mouse Detective you just might enjoy this one too.
Cats Don't Dance
My sister watched this
Charlotte's Web
I watched this movie every time I went to my aunt's house. I affectionately called it "The peeg movie." And in my humble opinion, this will forever be better than the Dakota Fanning version; this one has Debbie Reynolds. The movie industry should never mess with the classics.
FernGully
If you enjoyed Tim Curry as Frank N. Furter then you'll enjoy him as Hexxus in this movie that teaches little kids the dangers of destroying the rain forest.
Iron Giant
Friendly space giants made of metal, what's not to love? It will forever stand the test of time.
Kiki's Delivery Service
I love this movie so much that I had to buy it on DVD. I always wanted to be a witch and as a kid, I lived vicariously through Kiki.
Little Nemo: Adventures of Slumberland
Now, this movie is not for the faint of heart or for children who scare easily. There are a few scenes that are rather scary when you're little. Once you get passed that thought it really is a rather cute movie.
Once Upon A Forest
This movie filled with cute animals but that also teaches children about protecting the enviroment.
Spirited Away
This movie gave me the creeps the first time I watched it but I kept watching it. There's not much of a plot but you'll find that you don't care.
The Brave Little Toaster
Talking inanimate objects off on an adventure, it's kind of like Toy Story in a way but with a toaster, a vaccumm, a blanket, a radio, and a lamp.
The Flight of Dragons
I love, love, love this movie. When I pulled up an image of dragons flying I could hear Don McLean singing the opening sequence that's how much I love this movie. Its plot is based on science and logic vs. magic and belief. If you haven't watched it you really should, you won't be disappointed.
The Land Before Time
I have so many of Little Foot's adventures on VHS still that's how much I love them. You can't go wrong no matter which one you watch, a rare quality among sequels.
The Pagemaster
This is another one of those that my sister watched a lot. Books, magic, imagination, quirky characters, this movie will leave you wanting more. And it'll teach you the power of a good book.
The Swan Princess
If, after all of the movies I've listed above you're still craving a good ole princess movie then you're in luck. This movie has it all, the prince, the princess, animal sidekicks, and bad guys.
Thumbelina
Still craving some musical numbers? Well, then you'll enjoy this movie.
Those are one's that I watched and adored as a child now here are three honorable mentions.
Balto
Spirit: Stallion of Cimarron
Whether or not I watched these as a kid I do not remember but my best friend Shannon did and loved them. As an adult, I have now watched and loved both.
We're Back: A Dinosaur Story
I know I did not watch this one as a child but my boyfriend did and I was subjected to it a few months back. I can't say it was my favorite but it was definitely worth the watch.
