- DirectorRon ClementsJohn MuskerStarsJodi BensonSamuel E. WrightRene AuberjonoisA mermaid princess makes a Faustian bargain in an attempt to become human and win a prince's love.This is the very first Disney film I ever saw and I enjoy this as an adult as much as I did when I was a child. I even had an Ariel doll.
- DirectorClyde GeronimiWilfred JacksonHamilton LuskeStarsBobby DriscollKathryn BeaumontHans ConriedWendy and her brothers are whisked away to the magical world of Neverland with the hero of their stories, Peter Pan.This is another Disney film I thoroughly enjoyed as a child. I loved it so much that a local baker made me a birthday cake depicting the famous 'You Can Fly' scene.
- DirectorClyde GeronimiWilfred JacksonHamilton LuskeStarsIlene WoodsJames MacDonaldEleanor AudleyWhen Cinderella's cruel stepmother prevents her from attending the Royal Ball, she gets some unexpected help from the lovable mice Gus and Jaq and from her Fairy Godmother.This was a firm favourite as a child and I also had a Cinderella doll. Nowadays this film doesn't hold up as well as 'Peter Pan' and 'The Little Mermaid' do but it is still worth watching.
- DirectorGeorge ScribnerStarsJoey LawrenceBilly JoelCheech MarinA lost and alone kitten joins a gang of dogs engaged in petty larceny in New York City.Despite its original 1988 release date, this was released on video in the UK around 1997 (no wonder it's underrated) and I have loved it ever since.
- DirectorBob SpiersStarsMel BEmma BuntonMelanie CWorld-famous pop group the Spice Girls zip around London in their luxurious double-decker tour bus having various adventures and performing for their fans.I was a huge fan in the Spice Girls as a child and this film is no exception. The music and humour are great and the dialogue is memorable.
- DirectorDanny DeVitoStarsDanny DeVitoRhea PerlmanMara WilsonA girl gifted with a keen intellect and psychic powers uses both to get even with her callous family and free her kindly schoolteacher from the tyrannical grip of a sadistic headmistress.I loved Roald Dahl's books as a kid and this is my favourite film adaptation of a Dahl novel ever.
- DirectorRon ClementsJohn MuskerStarsTate DonovanSusan EganJames WoodsThe son of Zeus and Hera is stripped of his immortality as an infant and must become a true hero in order to reclaim it.Despite its slight anachronisms, this is a funny Disney film with fluid, colourful animation and catchy songs.
- DirectorMike GabrielEric GoldbergStarsMel GibsonLinda HuntChristian BaleAn English soldier and the daughter of an Algonquin chief share a romance when English colonists invade seventeenth century Virginia.Although I found the ending sad as a child, the animation is beautiful and the music is really good.
