Wow, this is a toughy. I think it would be either Bambi or ET. I know i saw one, or maybe both of those in the theatre. I have such a horrible memory. I do remember the first one i took my kids to though, it was The Tigger Movie.

The Little Mermaid wen I was six.

I remember sitting in the theatre and all the children were crying when Ursula turned into that overgrown "thing", and was wondering what the fuss was about :lol:

Well, I can't necessarily remember my first Disney movie. I do remember going to a special showing of Fantasia back in the Seventies and at the time this was considered a big deal (Remember that video came along in the Eighties). I do remember my first non-Disney movie: Star Wars :D

The first one I saw in theaters ... was Oliver & Company. I was 4. I saw Bambi, too, but I don't know when that was. Around the same time, I think. Those are the first ones, though.

The very first Disney animated film I saw was The Little Mermaid, when my dad rented the original VHS from the store and we sat down to watch it. I hardly remembered it, but like many others I was enchanted by the film. And then, I got heavily addicted to the other films that followed after that when I got the Black Diamond VHS tapes of Beauty and the Beast and Aladdin for Christmas a few years later after that.

But the only Disney film I saw in theaters was Mulan. Like with The Little Mermaid, I barely remember seeing it in theaters, but I grew to love the film with subsequent VHS viewings.

I know my first Disney movie in a theater was The Little Mermaid when I was 4... but I'm pretty sure I had seen others on VHS before that. I just can't remember that far back lol.

The first disney film i ever saw in theatres was snow white and the seven dwarfs.

My grandparents took me when i was five,I remember because i used to be a huge batman fan when i was five and the night before we went to see snow white my grandma happened to fing the extremely hard-to-find catwoman figure from the batman returns line and i had to bring her to the movies with me because i always had to bring a new toy with me whenever i went somewhere,Well i loved the movie but afterwards we got back home and i asked my grandma if i could have my catwoman figure to play with and when she took her out of her purse she was missing her whip which was like the best part and i was really upset,so my grandma went back to the theatre to look for it and she even had one of the cleaning dudes help but she never found it,Then she ran to K-mart's to see if she could find another one,she couldn't,but got me a riddler figure from the animated series line instead,and my grandpa made me another catwoman whip out of a pice of wire (Although it wasn't nearly as fun as that rubber whip).

Probably Lady and the tramp because it's the oldest vhs i own.

I'm not sure what the first Disney movie i saw in theatres was, it was either:

The Lion King
The Aristocats (90's rerelease)
The Black Cauldron (90's rerelease)
The Fox and the Hound (90's rerelease)


I can't remember the dates when those films were rereleased to theatres that is why i am not sure!

My very first Disney movie was actually my first VHS ! :) And it was "Mickey's Christmas' Carol" when I was 3. :D
After that, don't really remeber, 'coz I had a lot of my other VHS at the same time... But I remember watching over and over again "The Little Mermaid" an then "Alice in wonderland" and "Cinderella"...

And my first threatical Disney movie was definitely "The Little Mermaid" and after "Beauty and the Beast".

First one I remember was Little Mermaid on video in 1990. I loved the songs so much, and I had a crush on Ariel. :oops: I made my parents rent it so many times, they finally bought it for me.

The first one I remember seeing in theaters was either 101 Dalmatians (I think we were the only ones in the theater. :lol: ) or Beauty and the Beast. (That's also a personal record - saw it three times. More than any other movie.)
