50 Movies on Disney+ You and Your Kids Will Love

In case you didn't already know, Disney is a content juggernaut with a wide array of content stretching across cable (ABC, Fox, FX, etc) and streaming (Hulu and Disney+). Although the company may have started off as a family-friendly animation studio and theme park owner, it's expanded to produce television shows, movies, and documentaries for people of every age. So a decent list of some of the best movies to watch on Disney+ will span as wide and far as just about any list anywhere.

On Disney+, there are five main tentpoles: Disney, Pixar, Marvel, Star Wars, and National Geographic. Within those categories, there's thousands of hours of animated movies and kid-centric content, but there's also slightly more adult romantic comedies, action-packed superhero and sci-fi flicks, sports movies, nature documentaries and more.

If we don't put your favorite on this list, don't worry. Anyone can agree most of the films during the golden age of animation (generally thought of as the 1930s to 1960s) are hallmarks of the streaming service's vast catalogue, plus many of the Disney Renaissance films of the 1990s (The Little Mermaid, The Lion King). Instead, we'll leave most of the obvious additions alone, like say, Bambi or Sleeping Beauty. You probably watched them all far too often as a kid. And if you're currently an adult with kids, we're sure your kids have made you watch those movies too many times again. The same sentiment follows for the Marvel movies (for which we have a handy guide to watching all the movies if you're interested), and Star Wars (which we also have a handy guide for).

We'll mention some of the major highlights of Disney past and present, bu also plan on highlighting a few of the new or more unique additions to Disney+ that you may have skipped while searching for something to watch.
