Disney!

I love Disney movies.  From the sweet, innocent movies beginning with Snow White to The Little Mermaid; to the exciting, fresh stories from The Little Mermaid on.  I've loved the cute live action of the 1950's, 60's, and 70's; and, of course, all of the animated movies.  To list my favorites among all of Disney would be very difficult.  However, if I divide the movies into groups it becomes much easier.  In no particular order:

We are blessed to have access to many wonderful films that uplift and edify.  I am very grateful for the Disney company for creating such treasures.  Much of the Disney magic is found in the actors who voice the characters.  From the sweet and lovely voice of Cinderella; the gentle, nurturing tones of Wendy and Alice; the aristocratic and haughty tones of Lady Tremaine and Cruella de Vil--the tone of the characters has been set by those who voice them.
