Top 10 Disney Movies *List 1

In light of a recent comment I decided to do another list for you guys! So Savage, this one is for you :)

Top 10 Animated Disney Movies to Watch with your Children

As a kid, I used to love watching Disney Movies, my niece and I used to watch several of them over and over and over. As an adult and a parent, I actually understood the movies a lot better watching them as a grown up. So anyways, I have compiled a list of the best Disney movies to watch with your children. Even though I disagree with Disney about some things (hidden messages in movies etc.- I will save that post for another day), these movies are classics none-the-less! I decided I'm going to do two lists of 10 movies because there is just so many classics that it is hard to choose and heck I'm not that busy today so might as well get my posts worth! No particular order as always, enjoy!
