Do you like classic movies? Do you like DISNEY classic movies? Throughout the month of December, Turner Classic Movies (TCM) presents: The Family Classics which will include the premiere of 25 Disney live-action classics and an all-new original documentary called The Age of Believing: The Disney Live-Action Classics.
I grew up watching some of these classics like The Parent Trap and Pollyanna. With the amount of violence and inappropriateness I see on supposed children’s television shows, it’s nice to know that these are classics I would feel comfortable having my child watch unattended.
