"Inside Out"
"Finding Dory"
For anyone who loved "Finding Nemo" (2003), Disney elongated the franchise by making the most likely character to get lost ... well, get lost. Dory tries to find her parents, and it doesn't take her long to lose her way. Bring the tissues, please.

Disney was always pushing the boundaries of what people could do on the big screen (not in the sense of content, but in the sense of special effects). He was great at adding cartoons to live-action, and loved to make movie magic. "Mary Poppins" (1964) gave us that movie magic.

"The Sword in the Stone"
"The Sword in the Stone" (1963) was an excellent movie if you didn't mind Disney's artistic license. It was the story about how King Arthur actually got his start. It was a fun movie (as all Disney movies are), but it did deny some factual items.

"Peter Pan"
"Pinocchio"
Whenever this little puppet lies, his nose grows. Since its release in 1940, "Pinocchio" has made the nose-growing-when-you-lie thing commonplace, and all children are afraid to lie for fear their nose will knock things down because of it.

"It's All About Us"

"The Parent Trap"

"Billy Madison"
"That Darn Cat"
