Flashback Friday: 8 Live-Action/Animation Disney Movies

If someone said the name Disney, what would you automatically think of? Mickey, Minnie and a plethora of animated movie titles, perhaps? And if you are among the younger and more tech savvy folks, you probably instantly thought of the more recent digitally animated films such as Up – which is completely understandable, as Disney is well-known for their animated movies. Without a doubt, you’ve probably seen at least a handful of animated Disney movies (such as The Lion King, Aladdin, Mulan, and Pocahontas – just to name a few!) in your lifetime. But have you seen all of Disney’s live-action/animation movies?

Here are the 8 of the best live-action/animation Disney movies:

The Three Caballeros (1945)

Donald Duck shows off his multi-cultural side in this Latin-themed Disney movie made in the late 40s.

Song of the South (1946)

This controversial flick, which was based on the Uncle Remus cycle of stories by Joel Chandler Harris, tells the story of Brer Rabbit and his friends. Fun fact: Splash Mountain, a water-flume ride at the Disney Parks, is themed to the characters and songs of Song of the South.

So Dear to My Heart (1949)

They just don’t make ’em like they used to! This flick, which starred Burt Ives, is based on the Sterling North book Midnight and Jeremiah.

Mary Poppins (1964)

Probably the most known out of these movies, Mary Poppins (starring Julie Andrews and Dick Van Dyke) is well-known throughout the world – as is this popular song from the movie, entitled “Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious.”

Bedknobs and Broomsticks (1971)

Set during the 1940 London Blitz, this flick is based on the books The Magic Bed Knob; or, How to Become a Witch in Ten Easy Lessons and Bonfires and Broomsticks by Mary Norton. The film is often compared to its predecessor Mary Poppins – which is not a shocker since Mary Poppins star, the late David Tomlinson (who played George Banks) is also in this live-action/animation flick as Professor Emelius Browne.

Pete’s Dragon (1977)

This 1977 movie about an orphan and his “imaginary” dragon proved that you don’t have to look similar in order to get along.

Who Framed Roger Rabbit (1988)

This toon and human murder mystery movie was produced by none other than Steven Spielberg and starred Christopher Lloyd and Kathleen Tuner.

Enchanted (2007)

While it’s not THAT old, this live-action/animated film starred Amy Adams and Patrick Dempsey in a modern day Disney princess tale.
