Aladdin, about a princess who sneaks out of her father's castle and falls in love with a young man whom she is
forbidden from marrying
o The Litle Mermaid, about a mermaid princess who goes against the king's wishes and travels to the surface of the
Ocean
O Beauty and the Beast, about an arrogant prince who is turned into a monster when he is unkind to a woman seeking
his help
The Lion King, about a cub who fights his father's brother to gain control of the animal kingdom his father once
controlled
