You may or may not know this, but I’m a bit of a Disney fan! Since Disney+ launched in the UK, I’ve made it my mission to make my way through the list of Disney Classics films in order.
In my 20’s, I would collect the Disney Classics on Blu-ray – you can tell which number the film is because the number is on the spine of the blu-ray or it’s the really shiny O-Ring cover. I even went as far as collecting special edition O-rings like the Disney Villain’s collection!
So this is the order I’ve watched the films in. I’ve split them by decade but they can also be defined by their era’s.

You may notice a slight difference in the US list (and the list on Wikipedia!) They include the 2011 Winnie the Pooh as an official ‘Disney Classic’ and they also call Zootropolis, Zootopia! It’s also worth noting that at the time of writing this post, ‘Make Mine Music’ is not streaming on Disney+ but you can get the DVD or Blu-Ray.
