- Aladdin – c. 300s. Aladdin was released in 1992 and is part of what’s known as the Disney Renaissance, which is when Walt Disney Feature Animation went back to producing successful animated movies based on popular stories.
- Brave – c. 900s. It’s clear that Brave (2012) takes place in Medieval Scotland, but exactly when was a bit hard to figure out. Brave takes many elements from Scottish folktales, such as the will-o’-the-wisp, and Merida defies age-old customs, which can be difficult to place.

- Sleeping Beauty – c. 1300s. Sleeping Beauty was released in 1959 and it’s based on the fairy tale of the same name by Charles Perrault (with a lot of changes to make it kid-friendly).
