This year, Disney+ is bringing a huge selection of on-demand classic titles right to our living rooms. Of course, we already have all of the Blu-rays, DVDs, and somewhere at the back of the shelf, we’re pretty sure there are some VHS tapes, but that isn’t going to stop us revisiting all of the timeless animated movies once again. The classic works from the house of mouse hold a special place in the hearts of countless children and adults, and it is only right to celebrate that.
All the buzz surrounding Disney at the moment, not only with the launch of Disney+, but also the spate of live-action remakes, has got us in the mood for embracing our inner-child and treating ourselves to some classic Disney merchandise. With the right item, you can capture all the charm, wit and drama of the original animations. We’ve had a peruse far and wide, and here are some of our favourites. It’s time to take a trip down memory lane with these classic collectables.
We may receive commission for purchases made through our links.
