If you’re looking for the perfect excuse to dive into a movie marathon on Disney+ this week, you’re in luck. From epic adventures and hilarious chaos to heartwarming classics and mind-bending sequels, this lineup has a little of everything. We’ve rounded up the top 10 movies you can stream right now—so clear your schedule, grab some popcorn, and let’s get into it.
Mufasa: The Lion King
So, you know how Mufasa is the most legendary lion ever? Mufasa: The Lion King is about how he got there. It’s his origin story—how this little orphaned cub goes from having nothing to becoming the king of Pride Rock. And it’s told by Rafiki, the savanna’s greatest storyteller, to Kiara, Simba’s daughter. Storytime goals, honestly.
But this isn’t just some feel-good jungle adventure. Mufasa’s life was rough—he’s got to figure out who he can trust, survive the wild, and deal with his brother Taka (who eventually goes full villain and becomes Scar). You get to see why Mufasa’s all about that “everything the light touches” wisdom. It’s like Game of Thrones, but with lions and fewer beheadings.
And the cast is fire—Aaron Pierre is young Mufasa, and Kelvin Harrison Jr. nails it as Taka. Plus, Lin-Manuel Miranda worked on the music, so you know the soundtrack is a banger. And don’t forget the legendary Mads Mikkelsen as the main villain. If you love the original Lion King (or even if you just love a good epic), this is your pick.
Lilo & Stitch
Honestly, if you haven’t seen Lilo & Stitch, are you even a Disney fan? It’s the ultimate chaotic, heartfelt Disney classic. You’ve got Lilo, this little Hawaiian girl with a serious attitude problem, who adopts a “dog” that turns out to be a chaotic blue alien experiment named Stitch. And that’s just the setup.
But here’s the thing—underneath all the alien chaos, this movie is all about family. Not the perfect, picture-perfect kind, but the messy, loud, “ohana means nobody gets left behind” kind. Lilo’s struggling to keep her little family together with her sister Nani, and Stitch—who’s basically a walking disaster—is learning what it means to actually care about someone.
It’s got laughs, it’s got tears, and it’s got that perfect mix of wild action and heartfelt moments. Plus, the Hawaiian setting and the Elvis-filled soundtrack give it a totally unique vibe. Whether you’re watching it for the hundredth time or somehow seeing it for the first time, it’s always a good pick.
Lilo & Stitch 2: Stitch Has a Glitch
So you loved Lilo & Stitch and now you’re thinking, “What’s next?” Well, buckle up—because Lilo & Stitch 2: Stitch Has a Glitch is about to hit you right in the feels. This time around, Stitch is malfunctioning—like, literally glitching out. His molecules are falling apart, which means his chaotic side is coming back, and even he can’t control it. Lilo’s trying everything to help her best friend, but it’s like watching someone you love self-destruct, and it’s rough.
But somehow, even with all that heavy stuff, it still keeps the humor and charm of the first movie. Jumba and Pleakley are back, being their usual chaotic selves, and the whole thing is just this perfect mix of heartfelt and hilarious. Don’t let the fact that it’s a straight-to-video sequel fool you—this one’s got the same heart and humor as the original, with a little extra emotional punch. If you cried the first time, get ready for round two.
Star Wars: The Phantom Menace
Let’s be real—The Phantom Menace is a bit of a rollercoaster. It’s the start of the entire Star Wars saga (chronologically, anyway), and it’s got everything from epic space battles to… well, Jar Jar Binks. But if you can get past the awkward CGI and questionable dialogue, there’s a pretty epic story here. You’ve got Qui-Gon Jinn (Liam Neeson, absolute legend) and young Obi-Wan Kenobi (Ewan McGregor, killing it) trying to protect Queen Amidala while accidentally stumbling across Anakin Skywalker—a kid who’s Space Jesus with a podracer.
And then there’s Darth Maul, the silent, double-lightsaber-wielding menace who’s still one of the coolest Star Wars villains ever. Sure, it’s got its cheesy moments, but it’s also got Duel of the Fates—one of the most iconic Star Wars music tracks ever. Whether you’re a die-hard fan, a casual viewer, or someone who’s never seen how the Skywalker mess began, this one’s worth watching.
The Princess and the Frog
Ever just want a Disney movie that’s pure magic with a little bit of jazz? That’s The Princess and the Frog. It’s set in 1920s New Orleans, where Tiana is out here hustling to make her dream of owning a restaurant come true. But when she kisses a cursed prince and turns into a frog, things get a little slimy.
Tiana’s not your typical Disney princess. She’s all about hard work, grit, and making her own way—until she learns that maybe there’s a little more to life than just the grind. Her adventure with Prince Naveen (also stuck as a frog) is filled with bayou magic, catchy jazz numbers, and one of the best Disney villains ever—Dr. Facilier (played by the LEGENDARY Keith David), who’s all about that shadow magic.
The animation is gorgeous, the music’s a vibe, and Tiana is honestly one of Disney’s most relatable characters. If you love your Disney movies with a little soul, this one’s a must.
Avatar: The Way of Water
Okay, so you remember Avatar, right? The one with the blue aliens and the insane visuals? Well, Avatar: The Way of Water is that, but it cranks the underwater scenes up to eleven. James Cameron is back doing what he does best—making movies that are theme parks for your eyeballs. This time, Jake and Neytiri are parents, and they’re trying to keep their family safe while exploring the ocean world of Pandora.
And I mean exploring—the underwater visuals are ridiculous, like, you could pause any scene and frame it as a piece of art. But it’s not just a pretty screensaver—there’s a solid family story here too. Whether you’re here for the jaw-dropping visuals, the epic action, or just to see how Cameron somehow outdid himself, this one’s a ride. Grab a drink, turn up the volume, and get ready to be blown away.
Deadpool & Wolverine
Imagine putting the loudest, most chaotic superhero (Deadpool) and the grumpiest, claw-wielding mutant (Wolverine) in the same movie and letting them go nuts. That’s Deadpool & Wolverine in a nutshell. Ryan Reynolds is back, his usual trash-talking, fourth-wall-breaking self, and Hugh Jackman is convinced to put the claws back on.
It’s a buddy-cop comedy where the cops are a violent, regenerating mercenary and a guy with anger issues and claws. They fight, banter, and team up, and the whole thing is just an absolute blast. Deadpool’s sarcasm and Wolverine’s “I hate everything” attitude are a match made in chaotic heaven. If you love Marvel, if you love laughs, or if you love seeing these two legends go at it, this one’s an easy pick. Crank up the volume, because it’s gonna get loud.
Moana 2
If you loved the first Moana, get ready because Moana 2 is everything you loved cranked up to 11. Moana’s back, but this time, she’s got an even bigger mission—uniting the islands of Oceania. Only now she’s not just dealing with stubborn villagers and a narcissistic demigod—she’s up against gods and monsters that make Maui look like a house cat.
Moana’s older now. She’s got new allies, new enemies, and a lot of ocean to cross. But it’s not just about the action—it’s still got that heart and soul, with Moana trying to figure out what being a leader means. And yes, Maui’s back too, because what’s a Moana adventure without Dwayne Johnson’s booming voice and ridiculous one-liners?
And the music? Absolute fire. Disney knows they can’t mess with perfection, so they’ve doubled down on the catchy, island-inspired tunes. So if you’ve been craving a return to those sun-soaked, oceanic vibes (and maybe a little more “You’re Welcome”), this one’s a must-watch.
Ice Age
Sometimes you need a classic, and Ice Age is one of those animated movies that never gets old. You’ve got this ragtag group—a grumpy mammoth (Manny), a loudmouth sloth (Sid), and a not-so-trustworthy saber-toothed tiger (Diego)—trying to return a lost human baby to its tribe during, you guessed it, the Ice Age. It’s a prehistoric road trip, but with way more chaos. Ice Age works because it’s not just about the jokes (although Sid’s antics are comedy gold). It’s about this unlikely little family learning to trust each other.
Manny’s trying to forget his tragic past, Diego’s got a secret agenda, and Sid… well, Sid’s just trying not to get left behind. And then there’s Scrat, the little saber-toothed squirrel who spends the entire movie causing apocalyptic chaos just trying to catch a single acorn. It’s funny and heartwarming, and even after all these years, it still has that classic Blue Sky charm. If you want something you can laugh at, maybe tear up a little over, and quote for days, this one’s a guaranteed hit.
Avengers: Endgame
Okay, if you haven’t seen Avengers: Endgame, what are you doing with your life? It’s the grand finale of a decade of Marvel madness—an epic, three-hour rollercoaster that brings together every hero you’ve ever seen and then some. We’re talking time travel, epic battles, emotional gut-punches, and a showdown that’s a love letter to every Marvel fan.
This movie is everything. You’ve got the Avengers trying to undo Thanos’s snap—the one that turned half the universe to dust—and it’s not just some easy mission. Some heroes are broken, some are barely hanging on, and Tony Stark is trying to retire and be a dad. But when it comes down to it, they suit up one last time, and it’s just pure, epic chaos.
And the final battle? I mean, it’s got everything. Captain America wielding Mjolnir (still gives me chills), Iron Man’s legendary “I am Iron Man” moment, and that massive portal scene where everyone and their dog throw hands with Thanos. It’s three hours, but you won’t feel it. If you somehow haven’t watched it, fix that immediately.
