EW has inspired me once again. Darren Franich wrote an article for the magazine, Entertainment Geekly: My Top 100 Disney Things, off the top of my head. In it he discusses how wntrached in our consciousness Disney is and lists the top 100 things that come to his head. Most importantly he stets up a challenge: Make your own Disney top 100. His requierements: Without resorting to the internet, I tried to make a list of my Top 100 Disney Things: Official Disney-branded movies, TV shows, interactive experiences, whatever, all ranked in the chronological order that they popped into my mind. I am never one to back out of a Disney Challenge so here it goes! ( I made the top 100 list straight.. comentary came later 🙂 ) …FYI this has totally inspired me to do a Disney Songs posts which will come up soon

- Peter Pan
- Haunted Mansion
- Bambi
- The Paperman This was a Disney Animation short film that I have linked previously in this blog. It is beautiful.
- Robin Hood
- Camp Rock So my obsession with the Disney Channel started to come out with lots of entry. This was a pretty “campy” movie (no pun intended) with Demi Lovato and the Jonas Brothers. IT was a good follow up to the High School Musical franchise with good songs to boot.
- Even Stevens Classic 90s disney show, partner to Lizzie Mcguire.
- Lemonade Mouth Another entry, Another Disney Channel Made for TV Movie

(side note, for those of you who watch Once Upon a Time, I think Sleeping Beauty could be one of the most irritating characters on the show. This list makes me think that it might be because I have always not loved her character!)
- Pirates of the Caribbean the ride… This is the classic and a wonderful song!
- … All the Pirates of the Caribbean movies But this has Johnny Depp so its hard to choose which one is better
- Fantasia Mickey at its finest! One of the most iconic images for me is the blue hat with the silver stars.

- The Princess and the Frog This is a B- movie
