00:00 "That's life in the family, madrigal. Now you know the family, madrigal."
00:06 Welcome to Ms. Mojo, and today we're counting down our picks for the Disney movies that you can watch as many times as you want without ever getting bored.
00:14 "Sailors!"
00:15 "Sir, dinosaurs are already asking about it."
00:16 "About doing weenie?"
00:18 "I have seven more orders!"
00:19 Number 10. The Emperor's New Groove.
00:24 The Emperor's New Groove depicts how transforming from a bratty emperor to a llama can change one for the better.
00:29 That was the message, right?
00:31 More so than the plot, though, this movie's winning formula comes from its quirky characters.
00:36 "Feel the power."
00:38 "Oh, I can feel it."
00:40 "Our moment of triumph approaches! It's dinner time!"
00:46 Kuzco, Kronk, and Yzma display pitch-perfect slapstick comedy, which only gets funnier the more you watch it.
00:53 Whether it's Yzma and Kronk's hilariously dastardly scheming, or Kuzco's heartwarming bromance with Pacha, there's a lot of fun to go around.
01:01 "I can't believe this is happening!"
01:03 "Then I bet you weren't expecting this."
01:05 "No!"
01:05 "No!"
01:06 "No!"
01:06 "Ah-ha!"
01:08 "Ah. Oh, okay."
01:10 "Finish them off."
01:12 It's a great film to watch without worrying about any heavy-handed moments getting in the way.
01:16 Comedy is a crucial element in Disney's filmmaking style all around, but The Emperor's New Groove has some of its wittiest.
01:23 "You owe me a new acorn."
01:25 "Squeak, squeak, squeak, squeak, squeakers!"
01:27 "Squeaking."
01:31 "I'm so proud of you guys."
01:32 Number 9. Hercules.
01:34 The zero-to-hero template has worked in film for decades, and Hercules has this as its main hook.
01:40 "I will beat the odds, I can go the distance, I will face the world, fearless, proud, and strong."
01:49 Watching Herc go from a youngster unsure of his place in the world to a bona fide hero is a journey worth accompanying him along.
01:55 This movie produced one of Disney's best villains to date, not to mention the clever humor and stellar soundtrack.
02:02 "Herc is a hero! Herc is a hero! Now he's a hero!"
02:09 "Oh, yeah!"
02:12 "Yes, indeed!"
02:14 It's a little heavier towards the end than some other Disney classics, but high stakes is always what makes a story worth following.
02:20 We can overlook the fact that this movie doesn't represent actual Greek mythology in this latest.
02:25 Its heart and strong writing more than make up for it.
02:28 "Herc is not a zombie, but Herc is not a zombie boy, but Herc is not a zombie boy!"
02:38 Number 8. Cinderella
02:40 One of the oldest tales known at a global scale, Cinderella is a classic for good reason.
02:46 Sure, storytelling has evolved since its release to accommodate more empowering themes.
02:50 However, Cinderella still commands a sense of wonder that captivates audiences.
02:55 "The dream that you wish will come true."
03:04 It helps that such a likable main character is front and center, as Cinderella encourages viewers to keep on believing.
03:11 It's also great that the film remains dazzling to watch, from the fairy godmother's enchanting magic to Cinderella's beautiful dress.
03:19 "Did you ever see such a beautiful dress? And look, glass slippers. Why, it's like a dream."
03:28 Nostalgia plays a big role in this, and anyone who's a fan of old music will probably find this to be a comfort movie.
03:35 While we already know she'll find her happily ever after, it doesn't stop us from watching her dreams come true time and again.
03:42 "If you keep on believing, the dream that you wish will come true."
03:55 Number 7. The Little Mermaid
03:57 The Disney renaissance is credited with making the company a powerhouse in animation, and it all started with The Little Mermaid.
04:04 "I don't know when, I don't know how, but I know something's starting right now."
04:15 Ariel's limited time on the surface does bring a certain tension, but the movie's focus on the power of love balances things perfectly.
04:22 Its greatest strength is its soundtrack, as just about every song captures the attention without letting go.
04:28 "Up where they stay all day in the sun, wandering free, wish I could be part of that world."
04:39 Whether it's a hopeful ballad like "Part of Your World" or an upbeat banger like "Under the Sea," there's a tune for every sentiment.
04:46 "Up on the shore they work all day, out in the sun they slave away, while the deep ocean's full time floating under the sea."
04:56 Because of this, fans tend to return for repeat viewings, as the songs compliment Ariel's quest for happiness all the way through.
05:04 Number 6. Beauty and the Beast
05:06 There are few Disney movies that play with our emotions like this one.
05:10 After Belle takes her father's place as the Beast's prisoner, her positive influence gradually turns the Beast into a new man.
05:16 "He was mean and he was coarse and unrefined, and now he's dear and so unsure, I wonder why I didn't see it there before."
05:27 It might have been a problematic premise on paper, but effective storytelling allows us to see the best in its characters.
05:34 Watching Belle and Beast's relationship evolve is a treat every playthrough, and it hammers home the message that it's never too late to change.
05:41 "Tale as old as time, song as old as rhyme, Beauty and the Beast."
05:50 Following up from "The Little Mermaid," "Beauty and the Beast" also goes big with its soundtrack, as hits like "Be Our Guest" really get the mood going.
05:57 "Beast, be our guest!"
06:04 As the title song says, this is a timeless tale that remains as charming as it was three decades ago.
06:10 Number 5. Mulan
06:12 The release of Mulan signified Disney's bid for stories with greater representation.
06:16 There was no compromising with quality either, as the movie gives us a heroine everyone wants to root for.
06:22 "Mulan's strength of courage and fire, mysterious as the dark side of the moon."
06:33 No matter how many times Mulan goes through her initial struggles, the ultimate payoff is worth the wait.
06:38 With a major boost from Eddie Murphy as Mulan's sidekick Mushu, the main character rebels against societal norms of the time to save China and bring honor to her family.
06:48 "So your family will know what you have done for me. And this. So the world will know what you have done for China."
06:59 Throw in an iconic supporting character like Li Shang, and it's a story that hits all the high notes.
07:04 Few Disney films contain as many memorable quotes as Mulan, and we'll leave you with Grandmother Fa's best one as a reminder.
07:11 "Would you like to stay for dinner?"
07:12 "Would you like to stay forever?"
07:16 Number four, The Incredibles.
07:18 What's better than a superhero couple? How about a superhero family?
07:22 The kicker is that they're just about as relatable as they come.
07:25 Younger fans can understand Violet and Dash's difficulties with fitting in at school,
07:29 while adults feel for the struggles Bob and Helen are each going through.
07:33 "Then let them actually compete. Let them go out for sports."
07:35 "I will not be made the enemy here. You know why we can't do that."
07:39 "Because it'd be great!"
07:40 "This is not about you!"
07:42 Mr. Incredible is so hell-bent on reliving the glory days that he falls into a trap,
07:47 and the tension is palpable.
07:49 As it turns out though, you can try to take the hero out of the family,
07:52 but you can't take the family out of the hero.
07:55 "So you can be Mr. Incredible again?"
07:56 "No!"
07:57 "Then what? What is it?"
07:58 "I'm not..."
07:58 "Not what?"
07:59 "I'm not strong enough."
08:00 "Strong enough, and this will make you stronger?"
08:01 "Yes."
08:02 "No!"
08:02 "That's what this is, some sort of workout?"
08:04 "I can't lose you again!"
08:06 With fast-paced action, a strong plot, and solid humor,
08:10 Pixar really upped the ante for the animated landscape.
08:13 It's a superhero movie for the ages.
08:15 "Does this mean we have to move again?"
08:18 "Oh, man."
08:23 "That was totally wicked!"
08:26 Number 3. The Lion King
08:30 "Look at the stars. The great kings of the past look down on us from those stars."
08:36 "Really?"
08:37 "Yes."
08:39 Taking us to the Pride Lands and beyond,
08:41 the gorgeous African backdrop is too good to watch just one time.
08:45 Simba's journey of self-discovery is a long and powerful one.
08:49 Tragic moments like Mufasa's death are guaranteed tear-jerkers,
08:52 and their emotional impact resonates just as strongly years later.
08:56 Thanks to Hans Zimmer's Oscar-winning soundtrack,
08:59 the music encapsulates all the themes of loss, friendship, and courage.
09:03 "Remember who you are. You are my son."
09:09 "And the one true king. Remember."
09:13 Where Hakuna Matata brings a carefree energy that's hard to resist,
09:18 Circle of Life teaches the importance of moving on and accepting responsibility.
09:23 It's remarkable how the movie can simultaneously make you forget your problems,
09:27 and encourage you to learn from them as well.
09:30 "Circle of life."
09:36 Number 2. Aladdin.
09:43 From magic carpet rides to a wish-granting genie,
09:45 and a mystical rendition of an Arabic folk tale,
09:48 this rags-to-riches story is designed to take the breath away.
09:51 "Riff-raff, street rat, I don't buy that. If only they'd look closer."
10:01 Aladdin goes from street rat to an unlikely hero who wins the heart of the one he loves.
10:06 However, the message that connects most with fans is to love who you are, magic lamp or not.
10:11 Of course, it helps that the film features perhaps
10:14 the greatest voice acting performance in animation by Robin Williams.
10:18 "Master, I don't think you quite realize what you've got here.
10:22 So why don't you just ruminate whilst I illuminate the possibilities."
10:26 The genie all but explodes onto the scene to truly kick things into overdrive.
10:33 While the plot can get dark in places, Aladdin largely carries a fun and warm atmosphere.
10:38 If you're looking to sink into magic, look no further than The Wonders of Agrabah.
10:43 "A whole new world, a whole new life, for you and me."
10:53 Before we unveil our top pick, here are a few honorable mentions.
10:57 Lilo and Stitch. We all need to be reminded what 'ohana' means every once in a while.
11:02 "Lift me higher, like a sweet song of fire.
11:07 Like my morning star, the burn of love."
11:13 Finding Nemo. Which fan hasn't memorized P Sherman 42 Wallaby Way, Sydney yet?
11:18 "P Sherman 42 Wallaby Way, Sydney. I remembered what it said.
11:22 I usually forget things but I remembered it that time. P Sherman 42-"
11:25 "Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. Now where is that?"
11:27 "I don't know, but who cares? Ha ha, I remembered!"
11:29 A Goofy Movie. Father-son road trip that ends with a head-banging song to remember.
11:36 "If we listen to each other's eyes, we'll never be too far apart."
11:47 The Princess and the Frog. This jazzy Disney entry proves that dreams do come true,
11:52 even the ones you didn't know you were looking for.
11:55 "Dreams do come true when you are here."
12:10 Alice in Wonderland. This world's creativity is boundless as ever.
12:14 "In a world of my own, all the flowers would have very extra special powers."

12:42 Number 1. Toy Story. It's debatable which entry in this long-running series is the best,
12:48 but when it comes to replay value, the first one stands the test of time.
12:52 "You are a toy! You weren't the real Buzz Lightyear, you're an accent figure! You are a
13:01 child's play thing!" It comes down to the well-executed theme of friendship,
13:06 as Woody and Buzz put aside their initial differences to become the iconic duo we
13:11 know them to be. The premise of toys coming to life when no one's looking is so endearing and
13:16 appeals to the inner child in everyone. "Look, over in that house is a kid who thinks you are
13:21 the greatest and it's not because you're a space ranger, pal. It's because you're a toy! You are
13:26 his toy!" Through the talented voices of Tom Hanks and Tim Allen behind Woody and Buzz,
13:32 the protagonists' chemistry is undeniable. When it comes to impeccable delivery of wacky humor
13:38 and wholesome moments, we've certainly got a friend in Toy Story. "Buzz, you're flying!"
13:43 "This isn't flying, this is falling with style!" "To infinity and beyond!"
