Top 10 Movies To Watch This Week on Disney Plus | June 29-July 5, 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 June 29-July 5, 2025—because your time is too valuable for another “meh” movie night.

1. Snow White (2025)

You’ve seen the tale a hundred times, but Snow White 2025 gives it a fresh coat of paint—and then some. Rachel Zegler stars as the iconic princess with a little more bite, while Gal Gadot leans all the way into villainy as the Evil Queen. There’s still a poisoned apple and seven magical outcasts, but now they’re joined by Jonathan, a roguish bandit who helps Snow White fight back.

This one’s less damsel, more rebellion. Director Marc Webb (The Amazing Spider-Man) brings fantasy flair, and Pasek and Paul (from La La Land) give the soundtrack a modern shimmer. Sure, the CGI dwarfs sparked some discourse, but Zegler’s performance is heartfelt, and Gadot absolutely devours her scenes.

Is it perfect? No. But it’s more fun than you might expect, with enough heart and heroism to satisfy a new generation of viewers. A solid pick if you’re craving some fairy tale drama with edge.

2. Captain America: Brave New World (2025)

Sam Wilson’s officially the new Cap—and Brave New World makes sure you feel the weight of that shield. Anthony Mackie steps into the star-spangled spotlight with charisma and conviction, going toe-to-toe with a newly elected President Thaddeus Ross (played by Harrison Ford, no less). Things spiral fast when international politics, secret weapons, and a familiar green rage monster start to collide.

This one leans hard into political thriller territory, with echoes of The Winter Soldier but updated for today’s global chaos. There’s also some major MCU groundwork being laid here, especially with adamantium showing up and rumors swirling around Red Hulk. Oh, and Giancarlo Esposito pops in with that icy, villainous gravitas only he can deliver.

It’s not the most coherent Marvel entry, but it’s ambitious and loaded with moments worth geeking out over. If you’ve been wondering what comes next for the Avengers, this is a good place to start. Just buckle up—things are only getting messier from here.

3. Elio | A Special Look (2025)

Pixar’s Elio may still be fresh, but this behind-the-scenes special gives it that extra emotional punch. In A Special Look, Disney cracks open the creative process behind their space-bound misfit story, from sketchbook to screen. You’ll meet the animators, hear from the voice cast, and get some context on how Pixar blends sci-fi absurdity with deeply human storytelling.

It’s short and sweet, but packed with charm. If you loved the movie, this is your excuse to dive deeper and geek out over the design of alien species and Elio’s otherworldly journey. You also get a peek at how Pixar’s story room evolved the script—and spoiler alert: it wasn’t always what you saw on screen.

Think of it as the DVD bonus feature we used to beg for, but slicker. For animation fans or just anyone curious how Pixar keeps pulling off emotional gut-punches in space, it’s a fun little watch. Plus, it’ll make you appreciate that final act all over again.

4. Lilo & Stitch (2002)

Cue the Elvis soundtrack and get ready to ugly cry—Lilo & Stitch is as good now as it was in 2002. Set in sun-drenched Hawaii, this story of a lonely girl and a chaotic alien weapon-turned-dog is all heart. Lilo is weird and wonderful, Stitch is feral and lovable, and together they prove that “ohana means family” in the messiest, most beautiful way possible.

It’s got mad scientist aliens, social workers with deep gravel voices, and some of the best sibling dynamics in animation history. The watercolor backgrounds still pop, the jokes still land, and the emotional moments? Devastating in the best way. Few Disney movies manage to balance intergalactic chaos and real-life grief this gracefully.

Whether you’re showing it to kids for the first time or revisiting it as an adult, this one always delivers. It’s funny, poignant, and completely one-of-a-kind. And yes, you’ll still get chills when Lilo says, “Leave me alone to die.”

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

This one flew a little under the radar, but it’s way more emotional than the title lets on. Stitch Has a Glitch picks up after the first film, with our alien hero trying to be good—but his circuits are starting to short out. Turns out Stitch’s destructive programming wasn’t fully overwritten, and now his ohana may be in danger all over again.

It’s still got the same warm Hawaiian setting, same wild energy, but this time the story hits deeper. Lilo’s trying to win a hula competition, Stitch is literally malfunctioning, and the whole thing becomes a metaphor for fear, change, and letting go. It’s a sequel that dares to be sadder, smarter, and more soulful.

The animation isn’t quite theatrical-level, but the heart is all there. If you’re already a fan of the original, this adds real depth to the characters. Just maybe have tissues on standby—you might need ’em.

6. Lilo & Stitch | A Special Look (2025)

This quick doc dives into Disney’s new live-action Lilo & Stitch remake, and it’s way more heartfelt than you’d expect. A Special Look gives fans a peek behind the curtain—showing how the cast and crew worked to honor the original while updating it for a new generation. The spotlight’s on young star Maia Kealoha (Lilo), and she’s instantly lovable.

The special also highlights the importance of cultural accuracy, with real Hawaiian voices guiding everything from costume design to on-set customs. Director Chris Sanders, who voiced the original Stitch, is back as a creative advisor—so yeah, it’s got some serious heart behind it.

If you’re skeptical about another live-action remake (understandable), this might win you over.

7. Frozen: The Hit Broadway Musical (2025)

If you thought Frozen couldn’t get any bigger, welcome to the Broadway version—where the snow’s still magical, but the belting is live. Frozen: The Hit Broadway Musical brings the stage show to your screen, featuring Samantha Barks as Elsa and Laura Dawkes as Anna. And yes, “Let It Go” absolutely still hits.

This isn’t just a copy-paste of the movie—it’s expanded, theatrical, and packed with new songs, stunning set changes, and some serious vocal power. Olaf gets even more laughs, Kristoff gets a full solo, and the whole thing feels like a Disney dream brought to life. It’s a visual feast and a vocal powerhouse rolled into one.

Whether you’re a die-hard Arendelle fan or just want a front-row seat to Broadway without leaving the couch, this is the ticket. It’s pure magic with a spotlight. And honestly? Even the snowflakes look expensive.

8. Predator: Killer of Killers (2025)

Not your usual Disney fare, but hey—it’s streaming via Hulu, and Predator: Killer of Killers is a bloody good time. This animated anthology takes the franchise to wild new places: Viking-era revenge quests, feudal Japanese betrayal, and a WWII dogfight with alien interference. Each short is its own beast, but together? Savage, stylish, and absolutely unrelenting.

It’s like Love, Death & Robots but with one rule: the Predator wins. The animation varies from hyper-stylized to gritty realism, and the gore? Let’s just say it’s not for your Disney Junior playlist. But the storytelling? Surprisingly sharp.

If you’ve got a taste for history, sci-fi, and brutal alien takedowns, this is your jam. It’s lean, mean, and makes a strong case for Predator as pop culture’s most adaptable killing machine. Come for the ninjas, stay for the aerial dogfights.

9. Mufasa: The Lion King (2024)

Ever wonder how the King of Pride Rock became, well, the King? Mufasa: The Lion King rewinds the clock to show a young cub’s journey from outsider to icon. Directed by Barry Jenkins (Moonlight), this prequel is more introspective than its roaring predecessor—and all the better for it.

Aaron Pierre voices Mufasa with warmth and wisdom, while Marwan Kenzari brings depth to Taka, a lion whose bond with Mufasa turns into something darker. It’s about friendship, betrayal, and finding purpose in a world that doesn’t always give you one. The visuals are stunning (yes, that photorealistic fur is back), and the soundtrack? Epic.

If you loved the original Lion King but wanted more heart and less Hakuna Matata, this is the backstory you’ve been waiting for. It doesn’t roar—it hums, purrs, and eventually howls. And it hits surprisingly hard.

10. Ratatouille (2007)

Still hungry for something great? Ratatouille serves up charm, ambition, and a five-star storyline that somehow makes a rat in a kitchen totally lovable. Remy just wants to cook—despite being a rodent—and teams up with bumbling Linguini to take over a top Parisian kitchen, one secret tug of hair at a time.

Pixar’s attention to detail is off the charts here. You can almost smell the soup, feel the kitchen heat, and taste the tension between passion and expectation. Patton Oswalt’s voice work is stellar, and the film’s message? Dream big, no matter who—or what—you are.

It’s heartwarming, visually delicious, and still one of Pixar’s best. If you somehow missed this gem, now’s your chance. Just don’t blame us if you end up craving French food.

And That’s a Wrap
