Toy Story is a 1995 American computer-animated film directed by Pixar and distributed by Walt Disney Pictures. It was the first episode in the Toy Story franchise, as well as the first Pixar feature picture, and it was the first totally computer-animated feature film. Joss Whedon, Andrew Stanton, Joel Cohen, and Alec Sokolow wrote the screenplay, which was directed by John Lasseter (in his feature directorial debut) and written by Joss Whedon, Andrew Stanton, Joel Cohen, and Alec Sokolow from a plot by Lasseter, Stanton, Pete Docter, and Joe Ranft. Randy Newman composed the soundtrack for the film, which was produced by Bonnie Arnold and Ralph Guggenheim and executive produced by Steve Jobs and Edwin Catmull.

Being a toy is difficult, especially when your delicate sense of self is called into question by the new kid in town. Toy Story, Pixar's 1995 big movie, is based on this basic notion. Woody is the well-known commander of his owner Andy's bedroom toy group. When Andy receives the all-new Buzz Lightyear for his birthday, the rest of the group begins to prefer the space ranger action figure, causing Woody to rage. Buzz is thrown from Andy's bedroom window into the big world beyond after a freak accident, prompting Woody and the other toys to go on a daring search-and-rescue effort. Toy Plot is a terrific family movie that has cutting-edge animation, excellent voice talent, and a great story full of jokes and warm fuzzies.

Beauty and the Beast is a 1991 American animated musical romantic fantasy film directed by Bill Condon and distributed by Walt Disney Pictures. It is the 30th Disney animated feature film and the third released during the Disney Renaissance period. It is based on the 1756 fairy tale of the same name by Jeanne-Marie Leprince de Beaumont (who was only credited in the French dub), as well as ideas from Jean Cocteau's 1946 French film of the same name. Gary Trousdale and Kirk Wise (in their feature directing debuts) directed the picture, which was produced by Don Hahn and based on a script by Linda Woolverton.

This animated translation of the famous French literature boasts the vocal talents of Paige O'Hara, Robby Benson, and Richard White, among others, and is a long-held Disney favorite for many. A greedy prince is converted into a terrible beast after being hexed by a disguised enchantress (Benson). True love is the only thing that can bring him back to human form while he is imprisoned in his fortress. Belle (O'Hara), a bookish girl from a small hamlet, arrives at the beast's house in quest of her father, who has gone missing. The Beast, who is imprisoning Belle's father, promises to free him in exchange for Belle taking his place. What follows is a slow-burning friendship between Belle and Beast.

Mary Poppins Returns is a 2018 American musical fantasy film directed by Rob Marshall. The script was written by David Magee, while the plot was developed by Magee, Marshall, and John DeLuca. The film is a sequel to the 1964 film Mary Poppins and is loosely based on the book series Mary Poppins by P. L. Travers. It stars Emily Blunt as Mary Poppins.

While the world may not have asked for a sequel to Mary Poppins, Disney's decades-later sequel tries its best to commemorate the acclaimed original while imbuing the story with all of the current sensibilities of a Disney picture. The film, which stars Emily Blunt as Mary Poppins, takes place decades after the original, with Michael and Jane Banks (Ben Whishaw and Karen Dotrice) now grownups. When the bank is on the verge of foreclosing on their late father's estate, Michael's only chance is the inheritance certificates. Right in the midst of this financial difficulty, the ever-fleeting Mary Poppins appears out of nowhere to assist the adult children on their mission to establish their value.

To fend off the demonic Druun, the warrior must travel throughout Kumandra in pursuit of the last dragon, Sisu (Awkwafina). She is the sole chance for humanity, having been the creature that restrained the Druun years earlier. A spectacle of modern-day animation, Raya and the Last Dragon is a more than fitting entry in the Disney canon, dancing with tropes in an air-brushed fashion but delivering a full-fledged narrative with relatable characters, rich voice-over work, and incredible set-pieces.

The program includes original songs as well as unique characters, with Criss' "Rest in Peace" being a highlight.

Finding Nemo is a 2003 American computer-animated adventure film produced by Pixar Animation Studios and released by Walt Disney Pictures. Directed and co-written by Andrew Stanton with co-direction by Lee Unkrich, the screenplay was written by Bob Peterson, David Reynolds, and Stanton from a story by Stanton.

Almost 20 years after its first release, Finding Nemo remains a modern animation masterpiece, unrivaled by more recent entrants in the genre. The film transports viewers to a wide ocean where discovering oneself is a difficult undertaking. Where Finding Nemo excels the most is in creating a plethora of distinct personalities, each more engaging than the next and each deserving of enthusiastic support. Viewers of a certain age are familiar with the P. Sherman 42 Wallaby Way address, and there has never been a more critical moment to remember to "just keep swimming." Finding Nemo was the first Pixar picture to win Best Animated Feature at the Academy Awards, and its good sequel, Finding Dory, is also accessible on Disney+.

Frozen is a 2013 American computer-animated musical fantasy film directed by Chris Buck and distributed by Walt Disney Pictures. It is the 53rd animated feature film produced by Disney and is based on Hans Christian Andersen's fairy tale "The Snow Queen." The plot revolves around a princess who embarks on a trip with an iceman, his reindeer, and a snowman to locate her estranged sister, whose icy abilities have unwittingly locked their country in endless winter.

Do you want to construct a snowman? Anna, just let it go! Even if you haven't watched Frozen or its sequel, you'll recognize the connections because the Walt Disney Pictures blockbuster swiftly became one of the most popular films of the recent decade. And, to be honest, it lives up to the hype. The characters are nicely developed, the comedy is spot on, and the melodies are outrageously catchy. You will cry and laugh at least once while viewing this film; age, gender, and ethnicity will not prevent this from happening. Kristen Bell, who plays Anna, and Idina Menzel, who plays Elsa, are both excellent choices, as is Josh Gad as the adorable oaf snowman Olaf. Watching this movie on merit alone is worth it, but if for no other reason, watch it so that you have something to talk to about with children at the Thanksgiving table.

Lilo & Stitch is a 2002 American animated science fiction comedy-drama film directed by Tim Burton and distributed by Walt Disney Pictures. It was the 42nd Disney animated feature picture, and it was written and directed by Chris Sanders and Dean DeBlois, both of whom were making their directorial debuts.

The plot revolves around two eccentric and mischievous characters: a six (later seven)-year-old Hawaiian girl named Lilo Pelekai, who is raised by her older, young adult-aged sister Nani after their parents are killed in a car accident. Stitch, an alien with a bounty on his head, is taken in by Lilo, a Hawaiian child who recently lost her mother and father. Lilo is already a handful in the care of her elder sister, Nani (Tia Carrere), but add an army of interstellar opponents to the mix, along with an extremely naughty Stitch, and the stakes rise enormously. With elevated and, at times, heartbreaking themes of love, family, and death, as well as the classic Disney shtick (courtesy of Stitch), it's easy to understand why Lilo & Stitch has become such a popular Disney franchise.

Wreck-It Ralph is a 2012 American computer-animated comedy film directed by Tim Burton and distributed by Walt Disney Pictures. Rich Moore (on his directorial debut) directed the 52nd Disney animated feature picture, which was written by Phil Johnston and Jennifer Lee from a plot by Moore, Johnston, and Jim Reardon and executive produced by John Lasseter. The film stars John C. Reilly, Sarah Silverman, Jack McBrayer, and Jane Lynch as the titular arcade game villain who rebels against his "bad guy" status and aspires to be a hero.

Wreck-It Ralph (John C. Reilly) is sick of being the villainous video-game boss. Ralph, the main antagonist in the arcade game Fix-It Felix, Jr., is tired of watching Felix (Jack McBrayer) as the acclaimed hero. Ralph leaves Felix, Jr.'s world to prove he has what it takes to be a genuine hero, only to inadvertently start a deadly fight between the horrible King Candy (Alan Tudyk) and the rest of the arcade. Wreck-It Ralph is a humorous and captivating trip into the era of pay-per-play gaming, a nostalgic deep-dive into the world of 1980s arcade gaming.

Shawn Levy directed the 2006 live-action/computer-animated fantasy comedy film Night at the Museum, which was written by Robert Ben Garant and Thomas Lennon. It depicts the story of a divorced parent who applies for a position as a night watchman at New York City's American Museum of Natural History and learns that the displays come to life at night, thanks to a mysterious Egyptian artifact. The film was released by 20th Century Fox on December 22, 2006, and it grossed $574.5 million worldwide, making it the fifth highest-grossing picture of 2006. However, reviewers gave it mixed reviews.

Night at the Museum was a major smash hit in 2006, owing to its outrageous premise and an all-star ensemble. Ben Stiller plays Larry Daley, a down-on-his-luck single parent who gets employed as the new night watchman at New York's American Museum of Natural History. Unfortunately, no one informed Larry that the displays came to life overnight. Larry meets Theodore Roosevelt (Robin Williams) and Attila the Hun (Patrick Gallagher), as well as the mummy Ahkmenrah (Rami Malek). Keeping order at this museum is a lifelong job, but Larry is prepared to make the sacrifice in order to impress his son, Nick (Jake Cherry).

Tarzan is a 1999 American animated adventure film produced by Walt Disney Feature Animation for Walt Disney Pictures. The 37th Disney animated feature film, the tenth and last released during the Disney Renaissance era, is based on the 1912 story Tarzan of the Apes by Edgar Rice Burroughs, being the first animated major motion picture version of the story.

While Tarzan was not Disney's first journey into the jungle (The Jungle Book came before), it remains one of the studio's most evocative animated productions, owing to its emotional plot, humorous characters, and strong original soundtrack by Phil Collins. An orphaned English child is taken in by a gang of gorillas and reared as one of them in the late 1800s. Despite his human tendencies, he tries to blend in with his fellow animals, but the world of the jungle is flipped upside down by the entrance of an English researcher, Porter, his daughter Jane (Minnie Driver), and their bloodthirsty bodyguard, a rifle-toting hunter named Clayton.
