Disney Animated Films (and assorted others that are logically associated)

In the grand tradition of lists (I love lists...), I am beginning one for tracking my ownership of Disney animated films, which, next to musicals, are my favorite genre. They are listed in order of release (thank you to http://www.thecompletistgeek.com/ for the information). I have noted if they are owned on Bluray (the goal), DVD (intermediate) or unowned. Disney's limited release schedules may make some harder to find than others. Also, I have made some changes since this is the "to buy" list and I have removed those movies I'm not interested in, which are usually the smaller market releases (sorry, Saludos Amigos) or the never-ending sequels (Bambi II? Really?). The list does include Pixar as well given their on-again-off-again relationship with Disney.

1. Snow White (1937) - DVD
2. Pinocchio (1940)
3. Fantasia (1940)
4. Dumbo (1941) - DVD - this was my favorite as a child
5. Bambi (1942)
6. Song of the South (1946) - this has never been released for home viewing because of racist content, but if it ever is...
7. The Adventures of Ichabod and Mr. Toad (1949)
8. Cinderella (1950) - DVD
9. Alice In Wonderland (1951)
10. Peter Pan (1953)
11. Lady and the Tramp (1955) - this is about to released on Bluray
12. Sleeping Beauty (1959)
13. One Hundred and One Dalmatians (1961)
14. The Sword and the Stone (1963)
15. The Jungle Book (1967)
16. The Aristo Cats (1970)
17. Robin Hood (1973) - my dad's favorite
18. The Rescuers (1977)
19. The Fox and the Hound (1981)
20. The Black Cauldron (1985)
21. The Great Mouse Detective (1986)
22. Oliver and Company (1988) - introduced me to the great Billy Joel
23. The Little Mermaid (1989) - DVD - Ariel is my favorite heroine because she looks like me!
24. The Rescuers Down Under (1990)
25. Beauty and the Beast (1991)
26. Aladdin (1992)
27. The Nightmare Before Christmas (1993) - Touchstone, technically, but has been so integrated into Disney culture that it counts.
28. The Lion King (1994)
29. Pocahontas (1995)
30. Toy Story (1995)
31. The Hunchback of Notre Dame (1996)
32. Hercules (1997)
33. Mulan (1998)
34. A Bug's Life (1998) - DVD
35. Tarzan (1999)
36. Toy Story 2 (1999)
37. Lilo and Stitch (2000)
38. Monsters Inc. (2001) - DVD
39. Finding Nemo (2003) - DVD
40. The Incredibles (2004) - DVD
41. Cars (2006)
42. Ratatouille (2007)
43. Wall-E (2008)
44. The Princess and the Frog (2009)
45. Up (2009)
46. Tangled (2010)
47. Toy Story 3

These movies aren't technically animated features, but they heavily feature Disney animation and thus are on the list.

Mary Poppins (1964)
Bedknobs and Broomsticks (1971)
Pete's Dragon (1977)
Enchanted (2007)

  1. We somehow ended up with two copies of Sleeping Beauty on DVD if you'd like one of them.
