We've also done this with a lot of the Disney movies. I have found tons of nice/hardly used books from Disney's "Wonderful World of Reading " book series at thrift stores. Not one of these cost more than $.50.
The kids learn the stories and love them (and then build roads with them) and at some point we watch the movie. While watching "A Bug's Life," my son ran into his room and said, "Mom! Mom! It's just like in the book!" I loved that moment. I think reading is so important and so fun. It makes me feel a little better when my kids are watching a movie (while I need a break) and they think of the book first.
