I know that I first saw Lilo and Stitch, Atlantis etc as an adult, but considering that they were released when I was an adult (13 or over in this case, as that is a sort of maturing point physically), I can't count them, so am I the one who saw everything?

Disney animated films that you only saw as an adult
Yesterday, I lent a friend Lady and the Tramp as she claimed that she had never properly seen it. I was really surprised at this, for as a child, I had seen all of the animated films that Disney had released (except for the package features, which I believe won't released until around 2000). This got me thinking, how many of Disney's animated films did you only see as an adult?

I also saw all of Disney's features as a kid. It amazes me that a friend of mine who's a (casual, apparantly) Disney fan hasn't seen half of the features. I'm not just talking about the somewhat obscure anthologies, but I mean films like Alice in Wonderland and Sleeping Beauty as well as more modern ones like Pocahontas and The Hunchback of Notre Dame. Heck, she just saw Aladdin for the first time just a few weeks ago. I fully intend on getting her caught up, though. 
Suprisingly, even at the ripe age of 9, while I was very much into Disney stuff, and I collected the Burger King toys and listened to the soundtracks, I never saw Hunchback or Hercules. I only saw them in their entirety as of last year. It was the first time I watched a movie that brought back memories, when I'd never seen it before.

The Rescuers

When I first got back into Disney TENG was the first film to be released, so from that point forward I have been seeing the films as we go along. All of the above films I got to see for the first time when they were released on DVD.
I have still never seen Cinderella or The Little Mermaid.

When you reach my age, it is hard to remember not going to the theater to see a Disney film the day it was released. The only ones that I didn't see on the original date of release were "Fantasia", "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs" and "Bambi".
My fondest memory of going to see a Disney film on the first weekend that it was released was when, as a family, we went to see "Melody Time" and got to meet Roy Rogers and Trigger in person. It was mind-blowing to see the story-teller of "Pecos Bill" in person and what a beautiful horse Trigger was. I got autographs, naturally, and to this day they are mounted as part of my "Melody Time" poster and lobby card set. My pride and joy.

I saw all the animated classics as a child (that were out at the time) many times (though the package films I only saw once or twice) and have seen them all at least within a year of their debut to date.

Do you think it's by choice that I haven't seen them? I don't think either of them has ever been show on terrestrial television, and the VHS's were released a long time ago. Even though I could get a copy from ebay I may as well now wait for the DVDs and see them in the best possible quality I can!DisneyFan 2000 wrote:What are you doing here??
