Top 10 Movies To Watch This Week on Disney Plus | September 7-13, 2025

So you’re stuck in scrolling purgatory again, huh? Endlessly thumbing through Disney Plus, hoping something jumps out. We’ve been there. That’s why we pulled together the Top 10 Movies you would actually want to watch this week—no fluff, no filler. Whether you’re into thrillers, rom-coms, or indie gems, there’s something worth hitting play on. Here’s your movie cheat sheet for September 7-13, 2025—because your time is too valuable for another “meh” movie night.

1. Lilo & Stitch (2025)

Ohana means family.

Disney’s latest live-action remake doesn’t just ride the nostalgia wave, it crashes through it with heart. Newcomer Maia Kealoha is magnetic as Lilo, a lonely Hawaiian girl who adopts a destructive alien fugitive as her “dog.” Directed by Marcel the Shell’s Dean Fleischer Camp, the movie leans more grounded than zany but still keeps the soul of the original. Billy Magnussen, Zach Galifianakis, and Chris Sanders (returning as the voice of Stitch) round out the cast. It’s sweet, strange, and—no surprise—a billion-dollar hit.

2. Thunderbolts (2025)

The MCU’s antihero team gets messy.

Seven misfit “heroes” get pulled into a death trap and are forced to work together—or die trying. Florence Pugh’s Yelena leads the crew, alongside Sebastian Stan’s Bucky, Wyatt Russell’s U.S. Agent, and Olga Kurylenko’s Taskmaster. Think The Suicide Squad, but with more trauma and fewer dick jokes. One of the darker, weirder corners of Phase Five—and worth diving into.

3. The Incredibles (2004)

Before the MCU, there was this.

A dad with a desk job, a mom with stretch marks, and three chaos children all trying to live normal suburban lives… but they used to be superheroes. Brad Bird’s Pixar classic still holds up 20 years later—stylish, sincere, and packed with bangers (shoutout to Michael Giacchino’s brassy score). Craig T. Nelson, Holly Hunter, and Samuel L. Jackson round out the perfect cast. If you haven’t rewatched in a while, now’s your moment.

4. Incredibles 2 (2018)

Elastigirl’s time to shine.

While Bob stays home to deal with baby Jack-Jack’s laser eyes and math homework, Helen suits up for a PR-friendly mission to bring supers back. Directed again by Brad Bird, this sequel hits the gas from the jump. The villain? A hacker called the Screenslaver. The highlight? That raccoon fight. With $1.2 billion at the box office, it’s one of Pixar’s biggest animated hit—and still funny, fresh, and sneakily emotional.

5. LEGO Disney Princess: Villains Unite (2025)

It’s princess time—LEGO-style.

Gaston’s back, and this time he’s bringing backup: Ursula, Jafar, and the Evil Queen. But Ariel, Moana, Rapunzel, and the gang aren’t going down easy. Clocking in at just under 30 minutes, this animated special is fast, funny, and full of winks for fans of both the OG princesses and their brick-built selves. Part of this year’s World Princess Week, it’s a quick hit of girl power and magical chaos.

6. Lilo & Stitch 2: Stitch Has a Glitch (2005)

Ohana means… firmware update?

This lesser-known follow-up to the original Lilo & Stitch is actually a quiet gem. Stitch starts glitching—literally—and it threatens to undo everything he’s built with Lilo. It’s sweet, sad, and surprisingly moving for a direct-to-video sequel. Dakota Fanning voices Lilo this time, and the animation holds up better than you’d expect. If you’re on a Stitch kick after watching the new one, this is the next stop.

7. Captain America: Brave New World (2025)

A new Cap, a new world, a Red Hulk.

Sam Wilson is now Captain America, and things are… complicated. After meeting with the new U.S. President (played by Harrison Ford, who might also be the Red Hulk), Sam uncovers an international conspiracy tied to the reemergence of The Leader (Tim Blake Nelson). Directed by Julius Onah, this is a political thriller with gamma rays and shield throws. Reviews were mixed, but the performances—especially Ford and Mackie—make it worth the ride.

8. Ice Age (2002)

The most lovable migration in animation history.

Before Frozen, before Encanto, Blue Sky Studios gave us this icy buddy comedy about three prehistoric animals trying to return a lost human baby to its tribe. Ray Romano, John Leguizamo, and Denis Leary voice Manny, Sid, and Diego, and Scrat (the squirrel-rat with the acorn) steals every scene he’s in. It’s got heart, slapstick, and one of the most unexpectedly emotional third acts in a kids’ movie ever.

9. Freaky Friday (2003)

You’ve never seen Jamie Lee Curtis like this.

When a magic fortune cookie swaps a mother and daughter’s bodies, chaos ensues. Lindsay Lohan and Jamie Lee Curtis have insane chemistry here, flipping roles without missing a beat. Directed by Mark Waters (Mean Girls), this 2000s Disney comedy became a sleepover staple for a reason. Bonus: Chad Michael Murray plays the teen heartthrob, and yes, there’s a pop-punk battle of the bands moment.

10. Snow White (2025)

Fairest of them all… again.

Rachel Zegler stars as the iconic princess in this live-action reimagining of Disney’s first animated classic. Gal Gadot hams it up as the Evil Queen, there are new songs from Pasek and Paul (La La Land), and the dwarves have been replaced with a band of magical misfits. It didn’t blow critics away, but the visuals are stunning and the musical numbers hit. If you’re in the mood for a fairytale with a little edge, it’s worth a stream.

And That’s a Wrap

From reboots and remakes (Lilo & Stitch, Snow White) to certified classics (The Incredibles, Ice Age) and fresh Marvel chaos (Thunderbolts, Brave New World), Disney+ is swinging hard this week. Whether you’re throwing on something for the kids or sneaking in a solo nostalgia binge, this lineup hits all the notes.

So queue up, grab a snack, and get ready to feel things—animated or otherwise.
