This week I watched Into the Woods mostly because Jenna wanted to see it and because it was a movie by Disney. Not surprisingly, I found out that Jenna wanted to see the movie solely because it was Disney. We are Disney fanatics and want to see everything that the company produces. However, on this occasion, it worked out to our disadvantage. We hated this movie and how scattered it was. It was in our opinion the worst Disney movie EVER by a substantial margin. I wondered to myself and posted on Facebook about it, to see if anyone else had made the mistake of watching it. Additionally, I was recalling in my head each of the Disney movies that I treasured and each of the movies that I did not like so much. Then I decided to rank these movies and separate them into categories to inform the good people out there of the movies we recommend and the ones we don't. I also wanted to list the ones I haven't seen or don't remember so the good people can either recommend them or not. I scratch your back and you scratch mine if you will.
Note: Only theatrical films and films released under the official Disney banner are listed. No Marvel, Touchstone, etc. on the list or straight to DVD movies (although I strongly recommend Lion King 1 1/2.) I put the movies my family owns in bold. Jenna loves Hocus Pocus, but its just okay to me...
The first category is full of movies that you have to see in my opinion. These movies are absolutely fantastic and will be ranked in order of best to worst. Animated movies are not the only movies on this list as all Disney Movies will be included. The movies will include the movie title and the year the movie was released.

Side Note: The worst day of my marriage was when Jenna made me watch A Kid in King Arthur's Court, well until we watched Into the Woods. Other than that it has been sunshine and rainbows.
I hope you enjoyed this countdown and that you can give my family some feedback on these movies that we haven't seen or don't remember because we hadn't seen them since we were young kids. I did not include all of the Disney movies as I realized there were some I never heard of. If I hadn't heard of it or couldn't find it available anywhere it was not included on the list at all. Man! Disney made a lot of movies!
