I will openly admit that I am one of those weirdo adults who has an inappropriate love for animated Disney movies. They are timeless and I loved them growing up and have yet to grow out of them. Now that I have a baby am I BEYOND excited to introduce her to all of the amazing movies.

Aladdin, The Lion King & Finding Nemo

I know, I know I am totally cheating but I literally agonized over which of these movies to put first and I changed my mind like 10 times. I even asked myself "If these three movies were in front of you right now, which would you watch?" Wanna know my answer to myself? "I would have someone else choose for me." 

No joke. 

So...yes, I have three favorite Disney movies.
