Disney (Pixar) obtained a dominant spot in the movie business. Children and adults all over the world are praising Disney films. From modern ones like Ratatouille to older Disney classics like the beauty and the beast. Here is a top 5 of most successful Disney movies to date.
5. High School Musical. (IMDB rating: 5.1)
Teens in particular are all praising this movie. With its catchy tunes and likeable characters it conquered a top spot in the Disney hit list. Merchandise is still sold with the latest being a video game on the Playstation game console. While the actors aren’t the best they’re all teen stars now, enjoying huge popularity from fans all over the globe.
4. Wall-E (IMDB rating: 8.6)
WALLEEEEE. Was what everyone said leaving the theaters last year after seeing Wall-E. It has gotten incredible critics reviews and was one of the first to feature Blu Ray live content from Disney at its release. Games are made featuring Wall-E in his attempt to win over the heart of EVA, a white Apple like robot. This movie enjoyed more enthusiasm from the older crowd than our number 5 did and was even more successful for disney even earning them an Oscar.
3. Pirates of the Caribbean. (IMDB rating: 8)
A movie that single handedly put pirates back in the cool zone. Jack sparrow (Johnny Depp) is a cold hearted pirate searching for treasures around the world regularly putting him in life threatening situations. It got three sequels and buzzing reviews, to the liking of Disney. It starting merchandising in 2003 and ended some time after the last sequel in 2007. It was a huge success for Disney and will not soon be forgotten.
2. Finding Nemo. (IMDB rating: 8.2) (Personal favorite)
A movie about a father tries to find his clownfish son Nemo in the wild oceans around Australia. It set a new bar of animation and was liked by both older and young audience. Personally it’s my favorite as for some reason I can’t get bored watching it. Finding Nemo was also the start of a series of highly successful Disney movie animations including a similar fish animation Shark tale which was less well received. A movie that can start a run of incredible animations and is still favorite under many has to be high on this Disney list. But it just falls short for the number one spot.
1. Lion King (IMDB Rating: 8.2)
I was raised with it and a lot of people were. But not only that it also enjoys buzz under older audiences and is favorite for countless people. It’s a movie with many layers, a great soundtrack and an iron strong story. With this movie you just feel that it completes your circle of life.
All these movies are really successful and while I can’t precisely predict each Disney’s movies gross income, I can use the few numbers available and a bit of logics to get to this top 5. So don’t pinpoint me on this as I can’t know. Only Disney knows. But what I do know is that Disney deserves the credit it's getting. and hopefully they will keep making incredible movies like they have done so far. I encourage you to watch the trailers of these movies one more time to get you back to the time and place when you first got to see these classics. (press the media button) |
