This post contains affiliate links. As an Amazon Affiliate, I do earn from qualifying purchases.
If I have done a movie review, there is a link to my review or recommendation. Under the Based On, there is a link to an Amazon book if one is available. This is the complete list of Disney movies from Snow White until the end of the 1950s in order based on the release date. This list only includes movies released into theaters.
I have included whether a movie is currently on Disney+. Disney+ launched in November 2019 with many Disney titles included. Furthermore, I have linked to movies that I have reviewed/recommended to use in teaching your child. Even if your child is in a public/private school, you can use some of these concepts and teaching tools to incorporate in your fun at home.
