As a kid my summers were spent flying through VHS tapes of our favorite Disney movies with my little sister. Sometimes my dad would wake us up in the middle of the night to watch scary movies with him. And we took many family trips to the neighborhood dollar theater. Some of my best childhood memories include watching movies with my family, and to this day, I still call my mom to chat about the latest films, and get movie recommendations.My love of movies has only grown since I was a little girl.

*Updated for 2023If you’re just here for the checklist, no worries, here ya go! If you’d like to hear the story behind how this idea came to be, and how I chose the special movies on this list, read on! Also, I’ve created an updated list for Black History Month Movies for All Ages that includes movies that aren’t on Disney+.I’ll never forget the excitement on my daughter’s face when she saw a Disney Princess that looked an awful like her. Never mind that Moana is Polynesian, and we are Black. It didn’t matter to her. She had long curly hair, brown skin, and big brown eyes. To her, they were...…*Updated for 2023If you’re just here for the checklist, no worries, here ya go!
