Quarantaine Chronicles: My Disney Movie Marathan
So unless you've been living under a rock, you know that the world kind of got shut down by a little virus known as COVID-19. It seemed to come out of nowhere, and one minute we were toasting to 2020 and talking about "20/20 vision" and other puns, and the next minute we're holed up in our homes social distancing.
I am single and live alone. And while I am thankful to be able to work remotely and also have a well-stocked library of books to keep me company, I also needed a little bit of levity and magic injected into my life. So equipped with a friend's Disney+ password, I decided to watch all the Disney Animated Studio films.
After building my list, I took note of the ones I had never seen before (or at least had absolutely no memory of seeing before):

So equipped with a friend's Disney+ password, I decided to watch all the Disney Animated Studio films.
Some basic guidelines about my list and viewing choices:
- The movie had to be produced by Disney Animation Studios. So this did not include sequels or A Goofy Movie (which are Disney Toon Studios) nor did it include a lot of live-action or hybrid movies (like Mary Poppins and Bedknobs and Broomsticks).
- I would include Pixar Animation films. While Pixar and Disney first started out as partnerships, Disney now owns the company and all Disney-Pixar films are a delight (plus, there aren't as many of them to make my list too long).
- I was going to watch them in order of release date.
- I was going to watch every movie... even if I had already seen it or even watched it recently (I'm looking at you Cinderella, Big Hero 6, and Onward).
After building my list, I took note of the ones I had never seen before (or at least had absolutely no memory of seeing before):
- Saludos Amigos
- Make Mine Music
- Fun and Fancy Free
- Melody Time
- The Adventures of Ichabod & Mr. Toad
- The Many Adventures of Winne the Pooh
- The Black Cauldron
- Fantasia 2000
- Dinosaur
- Atlantis: The Lost Empire
- Treasure Planet (I think I have seen this, but the memory is too vague... and maybe I'm thinking of The Muppets' Treasure Island)
- Home on the Range
- The Good Dinosaur
Only 13 that I had never seen before or have no context about their plots! Not bad for this self-proclaimed Disney fanatic. So... let the adventures begin and I'll be back to share my thoughts on the movies.
What Disney/Pixar Animation movies are your favorite? Which ones have you never seen?
