Every once in a while we need a little Disney magic to brighten our day. Here I have assembled a marathon that will have you singing, smiling, and maybe even crying, as you watch your favorite Disney characters do what they do best, bring us joy with that magic. So sit back, relax, pull up a chair, as the dinning room proudly presents ... your marathon.
Beauty and the Beast
What better way to start out a marathon than with one of the best soundtracks of any Disney movie ever? Who can resist Mrs. Potts singing "Beauty and the Beast" or Lumiere belting out "Be Our Guest"? Plus, you can get a refresher before the live action film comes out (gasps).
Mulan
Okay, this movie is EXTREMELY underrated. This movies screams girl power, and "I’ll make a Man Out of You" is one of the best Disney songs ever--hands down.
Tangled
Yet another somewhat underrated Disney movie! Flynn Ryder is the quite the catch. I mean who can resist that smolder?
Up
Now for a little Disney-Pixar love. Yes, this one is a bit of a tearjerker in the first ten minutes, but it is so worth it. Here you will find one of the most touching, and realistic, Disney romances.
Moana
This is the newest Disney movie out there, and it is absolutely fantastic. The music, the story, and the girl-power helps this one stand out amongst the classics. Plus Hei Hei--enough said.
The Lion King
The Lion King is a classic with some of the best music out there. This one has a little bit more action and will give you a break from all the princesses!
Aladdin
If "A Whole New World" doesn't make you cry, then you should be questioning your emotional stability, people.
Captain America: Civil War
Of all the Marvel movies, this one is probably the best. Not only does it round up nearly all of our favorite characters (aside from Thor unfortunately), but it also features Chris Evans looking rather handsome while holding back a helicopter. (See below for reference.)
Live-Action Cinderella
If you watch this movie solely for the prince and her blue dress, it is 110% acceptable. This is a fantastic live-action adaptation of the beloved animated movie.
Lilo and Stitch
This movie is great and filled with many laugh out loud moments. If you’re a cryer like me, you’ll probably shed a few tears with this one, too.
The Little Mermaid
"Under the Sea" is such a jam that you can’t help but bob your head and tap your feet. And we all know we belt out "Part of Your World", you can’t even deny it.
Tarzan
The music in this movie is some of the best in any Disney movie there is. Plus, the romance between Tarzan and Jane really draws you in.
Finding Dory
The sequel to the fantastic Finding Nemo will make you laugh, cry, and also put a huge smile on your face. Baby Dory is actually the cutest thing ever.
Hercules
This movie is often forgotten, but is actually one of the best! Hades is quite a fabulous villain, and this movie may have started the phenomenon we all know and love: “what are those?”.
Zootopia
Being the newest Academy Award Winner for Best Animated Film, this movie tackles many issues in today’s society, such as discrimination and prejudices, all while adding the Disney humor that we know and love. This film is phenomenal and explodes with creativity and wit. Plus, the DMV scene is hysterical.
Frozen
Now I know what you’re thinking: this movie is hugely overrated, and it is. However, you can’t deny that "Let It Go" is an AMAZING song and super catchy. Plus, Olaf is one of the best Disney characters ever.
