Welcome to the Disney Movie and Film Encyclopedia


Welcome to the Disney Movie and Film Encyclopedia. I will be posting about and sharing my thoughts on movies and films from throughout Disney history. From the earliest Alice Comedies to the current day releases. As well as highlighting the people that made it all possible and the music we all love. This will be an on going project with material added often.
