Disney movies - are you ever too old? email this discussion to a friend?

I just watched a Walt Disney movie and my husband rolled him eyes and said I'd surely be too old to watch and enjoy this kind of movies. I disagree - I don't think you are ever too old to enjoy some harmless, cute fantasy. A feel-good movie which is so far away from real life that it just makes you happy.

What do you think?

I don't think anyone is ever too old too enjoy a Disney movie and appreciate it for what it is. Disney is magical for kids and adults and for adults brings them back too their childhood.

Disney movies are something the while family can enjoy and will for many years to come.

My point exactly. Disney movies jsut have a feel-good factor about them. So why not step back in time and be a child again.

Off course not I love disney movies. I never get tired of watching them which I love the lion king movies loved them ever since I was a kid and beauty of the beast still like that movie and even some none animated movies I like a lot. so there is nothing wrong with watching disney movies it is made for the whole family The WHOLE family which means anyone can watch it lol.

I guess a lot of adults love watching the films, but feel they need to watch it with a kid as an excuse. But whilst it is great for the family, they are also great for the grown up kids. Thanks!

I have always enjoyed Disney films since I was a child, I am in my early 40's npw. I do not think you can outgrow Disney as nowadays they are putting out non-cartoony type movies. The new "A Christmas Carol" movie that is being done by Disney and is in 3-D. I have seen previews and it looks like it is well done.

I haven't heard of that one yet, but I'll keep my eyes open.

i guess anyone's never too old for disney. It doesn't hurt to be a child yet again. No one is too old for Cinderella. We all have our Cinderella story hidden within us and who knows there is a prince charming in our once upon a time.


myLot reputation of 94/100. taraelocin (195)   ranked 10,017 out of 11,370 in watching movies  1 month ago

I guess every little girl dreams of being cinderella with prince charming coming along. You are right - there is nothing wrong with dreaming.

I wouldn't be so hard on him. He's a wonderful husband. He just forgot how to be a child with things like that!

Hi tara, yeah i agree with you. Disney never grows old on you, nor you on disney. There is something special about Disney´s movies. Im sure when i get even older i will still enjoy them.


myLot reputation of 94/100. taraelocin (195)   ranked 10,017 out of 11,370 in watching movies  1 month ago

I know even my grandma likes watching some of the old Disney films. That's proof, isn't it?

For some reason, some guys think if there isn't nudity or crashes and violence it's not worth watching. I like Disney movies even some animated ones. They usually have some kind of plot and to me they are usually interesting or amusing and they give you a good feeling. I don't remember watching to many when I was a child, so maybe that's why I like them now.

He's not really into that kind of stuff. But I think he finds it just too cute'sy...

lolI don't think I'm too old for any disney film.

I really enjoyed what i saw so far by wathing their films.

I wish i can watch more now. in fact recently the movies i watched mostly are from disney or other similar styles.

now i would like to introduce you to a dvd, it is Wallace & Gromit: 3 Cracking Adventures.
This DVD includes three cracking adventures.

The first one is Grand day out. Wallace found he has no cheese left and made a rocket immediately. His clever and faithful dog Gromit helped him controlling the rocket and flying to the Moon for his favorite cheese. One Robot who lives in the Moon made their trip more dangerous and exciting.

The second one is the wrong trousers. When Gromit birthday coming Wallace ordered a big automatic trousers as its birthday gift. The idea of the trousers is to walk the dog by itself. Gromit doesn't like the idea but a criminal penguin found the trousers very useful for its robbery plan.

The third one is called the close shave. Wallace and Gromit are busy with their glass cleaning business. After Wallace met a customer in his work their life changed. It's the first time Wallace fell in love with a lady but her evil guard dog spoiled the development of their love.

The DVD also has special features including the introduction by Nick Park, the genius director of the characters and over 30 minutes of behind-the-scenes footage, etc.

Oh my..I've got two little girls. Disney movies are a staple in my home.
I love disney movies and I don't think you are ever too old. That's like saying your too old to laugh at a joke. I don't think there has been a day in the past 2 years that I haven't seen some type of disney movie or closely related. Even if it meant watching it over and over again. I'm a personal fan of The Little Mermaid. And anything with music in it.
It's great to feel young again at any age. The truth lies in the eyes of a child and children love animated movies!:P


myLot reputation of 94/100. taraelocin (195)   ranked 10,017 out of 11,370 in watching movies  1 month ago

With little kids you probably don't have a choice. But that doesn't matter if you enjoy it yourself! Good point, the music is probably what makes you feel so good about the films.
