User post: "Tangled" arrives in theaters! What's your favorite Disney movie?

Tina Case | Parent Grapevine

November 24th marks the release of Disney's newest animated movie, "Tangled". Based on the beloved Grimm's Fairy Tale otherwise knowns as Rapunzel, "Tangled" takes a new twist and creates an escape adventure between Rapunzel and the kingdom's most wanted bandit, Flynn Rider.

What makes this animated movie particularly significant is it marks Disney's 50th full-length animated movie. This revelation made me recollect all of the wonderful Disney classics I grew up with, and the many more that my children (and I) watched as they grew up.

Nowadays, children can anticipate the DVD release about six months after the theater release. On top of being able to rewatch the DVD a thousand times, they are supplemented with video games for every imaginable device, interactive internet books, Saturday morning renditions of the cartoons, and often sequel after sequel.

But one thing remains the same. The anticipation of a great family movie that everyone can enjoy. Disney's "UP" has to be one of our family's favorites of all time. If we were to include all movie genres, It's "up" there with the Sound of Music, the entire Harry Potter series, and Mary Poppins - movies my children never get tired of watching. I'm right there with them because the kid in me just loves these classics too.
