Disney has produced some of the best films and some of the worst flops of all time. The studio has become such a household name that people can identify its works from a mile away.

When it came to parent death, Disney rarely held back – let's take a moment for Bambi's mom. The parent death in "The Lion King" (1994) was one of the most memorable out there, and we are all still a little traumatized by it.
A Disney movie with parent death and aliens was a new one to all of us. "Lilo & Stitch" (2002) gave us everything we were looking for: things weren't perfect in her family, but love was all that mattered.
"Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs" (1937) was Disney's groundbreaking hit and the first full length animated feature ever created and shown in theaters. It changed the way we look at animation and storytelling.

The Lindsay Lohan version was released in 1998.
