[crickhollow]

...So feel free to plead the fifth, or throw in another favorite kids movie :p

What is the first movie you remember seeing in the theatre?

Mine was The Muppets Take Manhatten

[anduin]

101 Dalmations/Rescuers/Herbie the Love Bug (Not sure if that was the title)....triple feature at the drive-in.

[Eruviel Greenleaf]

The first one I remember seeing was Little Mermaid (Disney), but I know I saw some before that. . .

[Earniel]

Little mermaid. Why thank you Eruviel, I'm hardly original now...;)

[Elvet]

Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. How's that for LONG TIME AGO!

[Arathorn]

I'm not sure if it was the animation "Wizards" or "Star Wars" way back in '78 when it wasn't called Episode IV yet. I was kinda confused why it said so in the picture, though.

[Glorious Glorfindel]

snow white was the first movie i saw too! THAT IS THE SCARIEST FILM EVER! i don't get scared that easily, as i saw the faculty which is supposed to b scary, but it isn't. the witch is sooooo freaky, it should NOT be classified a 'u' it should be an 18, or they should change the meaning from 'universal' to 'unsuitable'! the dwarves r quite freaky as well. im gonna have nightmares. arggghhhhhh no, the wicked witch.
:(

[mirrille]

I think it was Snow White too. Don't worry. :) I'm not that old. I think it was a re-release. The first scene is of the magic mirror or the witch, or something like that. I got scared in the first 2 minutes of the movie and ran crying out of the theatre with my parents chasing after me. They could not persuade me to go back inside. Fortunately, the theatre gave us a refund. :)
I was such an easily frightened child.

[aldesign]

im guessing it was the original Disney Pinoccio, back in 1987ish?

after that i can remeber the Dolf Lungund He-Man film.

[Eruviel Greenleaf]

Wait, now I'm thinking it was the re-release of Snow White. . .I dunno, I think I'll ask my mum.

[Brimvalir]

The First one I remember is Firefox with Clint Eastwood:p

[BeardofPants]

The boy who could fly. We were going to see Carebears, but we were one day late....

[TinuvielChild]

Snow White here too, think it was a rerelease tho

[Kyote Fields]

It was either ET or The Black Cauldron. I thoght ET was scary. I was in a drive in with my family and I wouldn't watch. I went to the back of the car and went to sleep.

[aldesign]

ET was very emotional when i was younger!

[Darth Tater]

The re-release of Peter Pan (I'm talking about Peter Pan, not some stoopid sequel!) That's my favorite Disney animated film.

[Eruviel Greenleaf]

ET really scared me when I was really young! I asked my mother, she said the first movie I saw in a theater was Romancing the Stone but I was only 6 months old. . .:)

[TinuvielChild]

my initials are ET and my friends used to always say "ET phone home!", they got a real kick out of it. one of them still calls me ET occasionally. :)

[Eruviel Greenleaf]

I have a friend who's initials are ET! She hates it when people reference "E.T. the extra-terrestial" about her name. :)

[galadriel88]

ET scared me to death when I was little! It was on once when my family was in a hotel, and I saw it and just stood in a corner and cried! But I am looking forward to the rerealease.

[Arathorn]

The drab environment scared me when I was 12; plus that scene when they first see him.

[Darth Tater]

Romancing the Stone is a great movie! Not really made for little kids though, what with the first 10 mins being all about cleavage :)

[Eruviel Greenleaf]

The bit where he's hiding in the bathtub, and all that stuff with the hospital and whatnot really scared me! When I was about 5, mind. :)

It is good! I saw it again about 16 years later. . .:)

[Arathorn]

I'm a little fuzzy about how Romancing the Stone ended. I do remember it was funny.

[aldesign]

Romancing the stone was a great film.

At the end, the stone was inside a crocadile, the baddies got shot and arrested, then the lead bloke jumped in a river, the next scene u see is the Stone around the ladies neck (i think), and they are both wearing Crocodile stuff, like shoes and a handbag.


On the subject of Fav Disney films, Mine has got to be Aladdin!!!!!! i brought it when i was 12, on a holiday in America, while it was at the cinema over here in UK, so we had it before anyone. However it was a NTSC video, so we had to have it converted to VHS. And weve watched it Soooooo many times the video has gone quite grainy and slightly fuzzy.

[TinuvielChild]

ok, i know this is going to sound kinda weird, but here goes: ya know how they had real people that the cartoonists watched to base their drawings on? well they did. and my jazz teacher played Iago in Aladdin! she was on Broadway for a while and then she did some stuff at Disney. yeah. i just had to say that.

[Jadera]

I think it was the re-release of Bambi in theaters. My mom says I started crying and carrying on when they killed his mother, and she had to take me out of the theatre. :o

[azalea]

Mine was a re release of Dumbo (in 197?). I cried at the end (I was 5 or 6) and my friends' mom (who I was w/) scolded me for crying because that made her younger son cry! (sheesh, lady!)

i was just about to say bambi! i thought i was going to be the only one but noooo.obviously not.
i cried too!:(

[Glorious Glorfindel]

im not ashamed AT ALL to say that, yes, i do own practically evry disney video! i love bambi, that is the best sad film ever! snow white is scary though! i dunno y, this will sound strange, but whenever i watched ET when i was younger i could never eat marmite sandwhiches! i have NO idea why though! oh dear god help me. i am going off the deep end!

[Elfmaster XK]

You can tell marmite is a tasty spread
It's spread now to this here thread!

MWHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!

I love doing that!

[azalea]

I own almost every Disney animated feature plus a few partially animated ones (like Mary Poppins). I want to get the Atlantis one. I haven't seen it. Was it any good?

YES!!!!!!!!! it was! it was extremely good. i saw it twice in theaters. you shall buy this movie!!! :)

[Jadera]

I love Mary Poppins. (I almost put Mary Pippins. See where my mind is wandering off to?? ;) ) It's a great movie! I used to drive my Nana crazy because I would stay with her and watch it, and dance along with the chimney roof top song. And rewind it and do it again. And again and again...:D

The Great Mouse Detective was a great disney film as well. They should have put more effort into the music on it, though. :)

[azalea]

I took two little girls to see the Mouse Detective, and I thought there were a couple of objectionable parts if you can believe it. I didn't like that one as much as others. My favorite is Sleeping Beauty!

[Jadera]

I can think of one or two parts that I might consider objectional for younger kids. The bar scene with the girl mouse singing a rather provocative (for Disney, mind you) song, and the fight scene was pretty scary. (Still gives me shivers. :D ) And the Vincent Price song is traumatic...*twitches and dies* But all and all, I really enjoy it.

Yes! Sleeping Beauty is great!

I forgot that I had another fav. ;)

Beauty and the Beast on screen was the coolest ever, I think. Disney should go back and start making movies like that again. And quit making sequels! Augh!

[azalea]

Yeah the bar scene is the one I remember that I thought was iffy.

[TinuvielChild]

wow...i didn't think anyone remembered the Great Mouse Detective! i used to watch that all the time....wow.

[The Ringbearer]

Oooh,oooh!*jumps up and down*I remember The Great Mouse Detective!:)
As for my first theater movie.........I seem to have no memory of any movies before Lord of the Rings......:D

[Lizra]

Roy Rogers and Dale Evans every Saturday afternoon, Sigh.
