New on Netflix Instant Streaming: Walt Disney Classics

Netflix and The Walt Disney Company have recently come to an agreement for the Instant Streaming of Disney movies. Almost instantly (ahhh, get it?) after the announcement their cartoon classics have been showing up on Netflix. Obviously they are holding out a bit on some of the favorites but there are still some real great movies you can stream right now. So sit your kids down to watch some of your old favorites or just relive your childhood memories.

The Lion King and Aladdin are the only Disney films I remember well or have watched recently so I'm looking for some help filling in the Why You Should Watch. If you'd like to do one and get a link back to your site, send me a message on Twitter or email at 20SomethingAwesome [at] gmail [dot] com.
