These stories are enduring parts of the Disney legacy because they remind us to follow our hearts and hold onto our dreams... happily ever after.

Aladdin – Inspired by the timeless legend of 1001 Arabian Nights, this delightful Disney feature proves that, no matter where you start out, there's no limit to where you can end up. With wit, courage and some Genie magic, Aladdin overcomes an evil sorcerer and wins a princess’ heart to rise from 'street rat' to sultan.

The Sorcerer's Apprentice – This enchanting vignette from the Disney classic Fantasia is a vivid reminder of the power of imagination. When Mickey Mouse dons his master’s magical cap, he has the power to bring a broom to life to do his chores. But when he can't control his creation, the results are alarming and hilarious!

Tangled – The Brothers Grimm's Rapunzel legend is retold in a story that empowers us all to break away from what holds us back. Like our courageous heroine and the daring Flynn Rider, we must follow our hearts and dreams to realize our true potential.

Mulan – Based on Hua Mulan, this endearing film marked the first time that Disney animation brought a Chinese legend to life. Mulan is a young woman who poses as a soldier to take her father’s place in the army. By defying her culture, she helps save her nation. An uplifting tale of loyalty, courage and honor, Mulan proves there's a hero inside all of us.

The Little Mermaid – In a fun-filled, musical version of Hans Christian Andersen’s timeless tale, Ariel the mermaid is ready to give up everything she has to become part of our human world. For all of us who yearn for something more, The Little Mermaid shows us that 'happily ever after' is never out of reach—even if it's a world away.
