Disney+ offers an assortment of movies from Marvel, Star Wars, Pixar, and of course, Disney itself. Here’s the best films to check out.
There’s so much to watch on Disney+. From the action-packed Marvel films, to the classic, feel-good Pixar movies, Disney’s streaming service has no shortage of entertaining content from the big screen. There’s some new installments, such as Cruella and Black Widow, as well as others that go way back, including 1950’s Cinderella. Below, a comprehensive list of the best movies available to stream on Disney+. Luca is one of Disney+’s newest — and most fantastic — installments. The Disney/Pixar animated film follows Luca Paguro ( Jacob Tremblay), a young sea monster boy who can assume human form while on land, and so he decides to explore a town called Portorosso with his new pal Alberto ( Jack Dylan Grazer). The best friend duo’s experience is truly life-changing, and one that viewers will laugh, smile, and cry over. Maya Rudolph, Jim Gaffigan, and Sacha Baron Cohen make up some of the movie’s marvelous voice cast. Onward tells the story of two elf brothers ( Tom Holland and Chris Pratt) who are seeking out a rare artifact in magical world that could supposedly bring their dad father back from the dead. But when the boys’ mother Laurel ( Julia Louis-Dreyfus) realizes her sons are gone, she recruits The Manticore ( Octavia Spencer) to help find them. Onward has so many family lessons, and it’s a can’t-miss entry on Disney+. The Day of the Dead serves as the inspiration for Coco, which sees a 12-year-old Mexican boy named Miguel ( Anthony Gonzalez) ending up in the Land of the Dead, a supernatural world. There, Miguel seeks the help of a deceased relative to help him reunite with his family and end his family’s ban on music, so that he can finally live out his dream of becoming a musician. The 2020 Oscar-winning Soul features an all-star cast lead by Jamie Foxx, who voices a music teacher named Joe Gardner, whose soul and body are separated after falling down a manhole. The incident occurs just before Joe’s big break as a jazz musician, and so he teams up with other souls voiced by Tina Fey, Graham Norton, and more to reunite his soul and body. Along the way, Joe realizes what truly matters — and what doesn’t — in life. Up is the origin story of one of Disney/Pixar’s most beloved characters, the adorable Carl Fredricksen ( Ed Asner). Carl’s wife sadly passes at the start of the film, and he carries out a promise he made to his late spouse by traveling to South America by tying thousands of balloons to his home. He’s joined on this adventure by child Wilderness Explorer Russel ( Jordan Nagai), and the generational differences between the counterparts teaches them — and the viewers at home — some valuable lessons. The Toy Story films are classics, no doubt about that. All four films are available on Disney+, but if there’s just one worth watching, it’s Toy Story 4. Most movie franchises don’t get better over time, but Toy Story 4 defies the odds by offering another wonderful adventure for Buzz ( Tim Allen), Woody ( Tom Hanks), and the rest of their talking toy squad. This time, they join new owner Bonnie and new toy Forky ( Tony Hale) on a road trip, and along the way Woody reunites with old pal Bo Peep ( Annie Potts). All four Toy Story movies knock it out of the park, but this one may just be the franchise’s best. Who doesn’t love Sulley and Mike Wazowski? John Goodman and Billy Crystal voice Monsters, Inc. ‘s iconic duo, who work hard at scaring little children from a different world. But when one of those kids (2-year-old Boo, voiced by Mary Gibbs) wanders into their world, it’s up to Sulley and Mike to protect her from everyone else: including the villainous lizard Randall Boggs ( Steve Buscemi). The Incredibles can be best described with one word: incredible! The action-packed animated film is all about the super-powered Parr family, that being Mr. Incredible ( Craig T. Nelson), Elastigirl ( Holly Hunter), and their kids Violet ( Sarah Vowell), Dash ( Spencer Fox), and Jack-Jack. Their allies include the dreamy Frozone ( Samuel L. Jackson) and outspoken Edna Mode (Brad Bird), and their family dynamics make them all too relatable — even with superpowers. WALL-E is all about solo robot WALL-E ( Ben Burtt), whose life consists of nothing more than cleaning up a future, uninhabitable Earth. But everything changes for WALL-E when a robot name EVE ( Elissa Knight) shows up, and WALL-E forms a quick crush on his fellow robot! The pair explore the galaxy together in a film that every Disney/Pixar fan, humans and robots alike, should tune into.
