We're heading down today for a week with my sister and her family. They're bringing a friend, a teenaged boy who would likely never have the chance to go otherwise. But he hasn't seen many Disney movies. So, she texted me that question. What movies should they watch with him in order for him to appreciate the parks?

I thought about it long and hard. Clearly, there are tons of movies with one tie-in somewhere (or two small tie-ins, not counting parades). But, for example, watching Robin Hood does nothing for your park experience. Neither does 101 Dalmations. Or Pete's Dragon. Alice in Wonderland only has the Teacups. Dumbo has...well...Dumbo.

So I told her that he needed to watch Cinderella, Beauty and the Beast, Lion King, and Toy Story. The Little Mermaid would come next, followed by Finding Nemo and Peter Pan.

So, that's my basic list. Thoughts? Am I missing something?
