Disney Takes Flight: From 'Dumbo' to 'Planes'

Disney takes to the friendly skies once again with 'Planes: Fire and Rescue.' As the Pixar sequel hits theaters, let's go on a reunion tour with the some of the studio's most memorable films about flight.

If you haven't seen this animated classic about the titular flying elephant, then you're some kind of wrong person.

"Second star to the right, and straight on till" you've seen this near-perfect classic eleventy times.

Sure, on paper "Angela Lansbury with kids atop a flying bed" sounds iffy at best, but the film's mix of animation and ol' fashioned family fun is more charming than it sounds.

Before the upcoming remake hits theaters, revisit this live-action/animated hybrid about a boy and his insanely likable dragon.

Loosely based on Mark Twain's "A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court," this mixed bag centers on an astronaut and his (naturally) android double flying back in time to Camelot.

Fans of shape-shifting spaceships voiced by Pee-wee Herman will love this underrated gem about a kid stuck in 1986 struggling to get back to his own time.

This isn't the only Hayao Miyazaki film Disney distributed, but it is one of their best; a heartwarming fantasy about a young witch who runs an air courier service while struggling to find her place in the world.

The number one reason why everyone in the history of ever wants a jetpack. Cliff Seacord FTW!

While technically not about "flight" per se, this cornerstone of our childhood offers one of the best animiated flying sequences ever: The magic carpet ride!

What? No, we're not crying at this modern classic flying-house tale. Just stood too close to onions, is all.

Disney's attempt to do for aeroplanes what Pixar's Cars did for, er, cars. But with 100% more (cringe) Dane Cook.
