I watched all of them a lot, but the ones I watched the most were Cinderella, The Little Mermaid, The Lion King, Sleeping Beauty, Mary Poppins, Pete's Dragon, Bedknobs & Broomsticks, and Hocus Pocus.

In order of most watched . . .

1. The Lion King - watched it at least once a week for years
2. The Parent Trap (1998)
3. The Parent Trap (1960)
4. Beauty and the Beast
5. The Little Mermaid

Not sure why I watched the Parent Trap movies so much. They are very good, but I was more into the animated movies, so I can't really explain it.

In no particular order..

The Little Mermaid- Used 3 VHS copies, my all time favorite movie! (Have 1 left that's playable!!)

Beauty and the Beast- I can recite the dialogue along with TLM

Cinderella- LOVED it evertime I saw it, still never gets old. (CAN'T wait for DVD)

Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs- Cherished. I own the 1993 VHS and the 2001 DVD.

As a teenager, Aladdin. I swear I watched it every day for about a year at one stage.

As a little'un I remember watching Parent Trap over and over.

My nephew forced us to watch Toy Story 2 at least twice every time we saw him and when he outgrew that, it was Pinocchio.

the ones I first thought of are Bedknobs and Broomsticks and Robin Hood. Oh yeah, and Sword in the Stone.
I was really young then. I also had tapes of Cinerella and Alice, but I didn't watch those too often. I remember that I was very fascinated by all that moving stuff in Bedknobs.

I had four Disney movies growing up in the eighties and my brother and I alternated them daily during the summertime:

Robin Hood

Old Yeller

A VHS of nothing but Pluto cartoons (each started with Mickey saying, "Hey Pluto" and then whistling; where my board name came from)
It was ina gold and black clamshell box was like a Gold Collection or something. Anyway it was my favorite.

An identical VHS of Merry Melodies that was funny. My favorite was called "Goliath" about a tiny elephant that always wander off from the heard.

My favorite now is BatB. I can waqtch it over and over and I still think the artistry and the music and the whole story are just unbelieveable. I loved the broadway musical too.

When I was younger and my father first purchased Aladdin for me I must have watched it 3 times a day for like a month or more. Also my neighbors and I used to have a Lion King night every week.

Either Aladdin or Beauty and the Beast.

Aladdin mainly because my cousin who at the time lived with me, and I admired so much loved it, so I'd always watch it with him and his sister.

Beauty and the beast because it was given to me as a gift and even though it made me cry, I just thought it was a very fun movie.

I'd watch other movies, but I think these two were the dominant ones!

Aladdin for me. It's the only VHS tape I've ever watched enough times to make it break from exessive viewings.

The Lion King was a close second, as well. I remember that when that came out on video I had the chicken pox, and Mom brought it home for me, but I couldn't watch it until I finished the homework that my kindergarten teacher oh so kindly brought over to the house.

I lost count of the times I watched Robin Hood in my childhood. Now whenever I hear it being played, I can almost recite the entire movie verbatim. I also remember watching The Ugly Dachshund and Swiss Family Robinson like every week on video, and all the Kurt Russel movies every time they would come on the Disney Channel. Good days have truly passed. :-)

I probably watched Snow White the most. But every Xmas without fail Disney's Christmas Carol was on tv and I never missed it. That and Willy Wonka & The Chocolate Factory......I wanna be Charlie!

The only way some of us could watch a movie over and over was to go to the theater, not all of us grew up in the era of VHS and DVD. But I saw Follow Me Boys at the movies twice. Oh well !
