I saw Aladdin in High School. That was in 1994 or 1995. I remember seeing 101 Dalmations (1961) in 10th or 11th grade. A lot of my classmates saw Pocahontas. I saw Beauty and The Beast in my French I class, and The Lion King in my French II class. Some of my friends saw Aladdin in Spanish class. Cool!

I keep telling myself "I've only been to the movies two times" (the two times being Dr. DoLittle, Rush Hour), but I think I may have seen a re-release of Snow White years ago as a kid.
Otherwise, the first Disney movie (theater or otherwise) I saw was Alice in Wonderland.

In THEATRES.....that is a hard one.
I can only remember so far back...last week is causing me trouble.
I remember one of the first animated Disney films I saw was Fantasia, just can't remember if it was at the cinema (rerelease) or on video.
Return to Oz is a very early memory, as is Flight of the Navigator (but I would have been about 7 & 8 respectively, so I must've seen a Disney flm before that). Maybe it was Tron. I remembered Tron, images more than anything really...
Given how much I love films now, it is strange I can't remember my early cinema experiences. Being born in 1978, I remember ET, Jedi and Ghostbusters as standout movies I saw by the time I was 6, but can't remember much else...

I was a child of the 80's so the big thing were videos and not so much theatrical releases. I remember getting pinnochio. It was in big clam case and it had the extra padding {not just a paper slid beneath the plastic}. God i must have played that movie 1,000 times. My poor parents, especially my mother. I think to this day she knows all the words.
The second one i ever got was a compilation/video movie, "Kids is Kids".
The first movie i can remember seeing in a theatre was oliver and company. it might have been something else but O&C was kinda the start of the new disney movies being released. before that they really focused on the video's during the earlier part of the 80's.

The first movie i saw in theaters is probably Aladdin. But for some odd reason i remember that one time probably in 1990, when watching the news(i cant remember what happened on the news)they said that now they will be showing DuckTales the Movie on TV after the news but that couldnt been right because DuckTales the Movie was still in theaters. does anyone know about this?

The first Disney movie I ever saw was 101 Dalmatians: we had just gotten a VCR and for some reason that was the one I chose to rent. Then, a few months later, I got Pinocchio for my birthday. It is still to this day one of my most prized Disney films. That's when the obsession was started.
The first I saw in the theatre was Homeward Bound at the drive-in. Then the Lion King, Pocahontas, Goofy Movie....all leading up to tomorrow when I go see the remake of Freaky Friday.

I have absolutely NO idea. None.
I was born in '72 so I'm sure I went and saw whatever was in the theatres in 1976 and '77...which would have been The Rescuers I believe. That'd be my guess, which might explain why it has always been one of my all-time favorite Disney films.

I remember going to see "The Little Mermaid" at the cinema, which I think is the first movie I saw on the big screen - I'd have been around six years old. Second was probably "Beauty & The Beast".
On video.... possibly "Sleeping Beauty", but I really can't remember very well at all.

The first Disney movie I ever saw in theaters was The Lion King, which also turned out to be the first movie I ever saw in theaters, period. The first Disney I ever saw to begin with, though, was Cinderella. We had taped it off the Disney Channel and I used to watch that everyday and it drove my family nuts. The Disney movies I always used to watch on a regular basis were Cinderella, Alice in Wonderland, Peter Pan, The Jungle Book, Robin Hood, and The Little Mermaid. Interesting how all of those minus Mermaid were all pre-modern classics whereas most people around my age seem to have grown up with the big four (The Little Mermaid, Beauty and the Beast, Aladdin, and The Lion King).

The first movie I ever saw in a cinema was a disney film. It was "Ducktales the movie", and I loved the whole thing.
I also went to see "Snow White" on its '93 re-release and was transfixed. From "The Lion King" onwards I've seen every new animated classic in the cinema.

The first movie I ever saw in the theater was Beauty and the Beast. Saw it 3 times, though I only remember this because of the final time, when I was thinking, "This is my third time, Wow!" I don't remember what my second theater movie was. For a while I thought it was Aladdin, but I know I saw Pinocchio in the theater, and that re-release was before Aladdin wasn't it? The first movie I ever saw was Cinderella, on video.

I remember watching Hercules in the local theater. Hercules is a fun movie.

Ah, the good old days. I saw Beauty and the Beast as my absolutely first Disney animated movie, and the only other two I've seen in theater were Mulan and Atlantis (though I wish I'd seen Emperor's New Groove instead).
I do remember seeing Muppet Christmas Carol (sort of Disney, wasn't it?) but I think that was after Beauty and the Beast.
