To celebrate the launch of DisneyLife, the new digital membership service from Disney, they'd love to hear about your favourite Disney films from your childhood and whether you've shared this film with your DCs.

Here's what DisneyLife says "We're so excited to launch DisneyLife, which gives the whole family access to a fantastic collection of Disney and DisneyPixar movies, Disney Channels TV box sets, books, music and more, in one place. DisneyLife will help create magical moments for the whole family to share, so we're keen to hear about your favourite Disney film from childhood and if you've shared a magical moment with your children by watching this together."

So, what was your favourite Disney film when you were a child? Maybe The Jungle Book was your favourite and you would always sing along to the Bare Necessities? Or perhaps you loved Peter Pan and wished you could fly around Neverland? Maybe you watched Pocahontas repeatedly and wanted to learn to paint with all the colours of the wind? Have you shared your favourite Disney film with your DCs?

Whatever your favourite Disney film was, DisneyLife would love to hear about it!

Everyone who adds a comment will be entered in to a prize draw where one winner will receive a £300 Love2Shop voucher.

Aladdin definitely!

It's funny, the songs are great and there is no overwhelming sad bit (like a parent dying which Disney seem so fond of)

Love loads of Disney films

But the one from my childhood has to be Peter Pan, i always cried at Nana being left behind and i loved Hook and the crocodile

My dad went to Florida back in the 70's and he bought my mum a bambi, i got Peter Pan and my little brother got Dumbo...i possess all three now...mwah, ha, ha

And when ever we visit a disney park we do the Peter Pan ride

I also cry when Dumbos mum is in "prison" and petting him with her trunk

Weirdly i dont tend to cry at much else Smile

I dont cry at Nana being left behind any more

I do not think that big fluffy dog would enjoy neverland, all that sand and salt water

Just Thought i would clear that up

Little Mermaid was my favourite growing up. It still makes me happy to hear the songs and always pleased to put it on for my girls now! I also really loved the rescuers.

The little Mermaid without a doubt. I still know every word off by heart I watched it so much! I had a massive flounder the fish teddy on my bed, (along with a giant Winnie The pooh, Eeyore,and piglet) loved everything about it! Beauty and the Beast was a very close second, with Jungle Book not far behind. Love Disney!

My original favourite was the little mermaid. Then Pocahontas came out... Oh my god. Still know ALL the words, and it still makes me cry. I love it so much.

I loved The Jungle Book but was quite scared of Kaa the snake. My little one loves it too but is a lot braver and finds the snake funny!

My first ever film at the pictures was bambi ....I like the fact with Disney that they are ageless... We sit down and watch a recent film or an oldie and it makes no difference. They are fantastic for all the family.
My boys are teens and love big hero 6, wreck it Ralph etc - that's where Disney has moved with the times.

Dumbo and Bambi, although I sobbed during them both. The bit where Dumbo gets to see his mum in her cage and she poke her trunk out to touch him. Then she rocks him in her trunk.......I still sob Sad

I loved beauty and the beast as it was the first film I ever saw at the cinema. It was magical. This pregnancy I've not craved any foods but listen to Disney tracks all the time. So my unborn child is mostly listening to Tale as Old as Time.

Aladdin - I loved the songs but also close favourites were the little mermaid, lion king and beauty and the beast. I can't wait to share them with my DD and have cosy afternoons curled up together

I love them all, but nothing will beat the Lion King if I could only choose one.
This will out me, but my Mum took me to see it at the cinema when it came out, I was around 4/5, and when the stampede was coming I, apparently, stood on my chair and shouted "no, Simba, no!" This raised a laugh from the whole cinema Grin

I'm only now realising how few Disney films I saw in their entirety as a child because they didn't release them on video so my knowledge is largely of clips on Disney Time. I'm loving discovering them with my daughter. Having said that, when I was a bit older I loved the Lion King so much I bought it on video which was a big investment for me! Haven't watched that one with my daughter yet.

Has to be the Lion King. It was the first thing I ever saw in the cinema and the opening sequence still give me chills.

I first watched The Lion King when I was about seven and loved it! Found out later on that it was released the year I was born Grin I then watched The Lion King 2 and loved that too
(side note: Big Hero 6 is by far my favourite Disney film though, even though I only watched it for the first time this year)
