The best movies on Disney+ right now include The Wild Robot, DreamWorks' most acclaimed movie in years about a robot raising a gosling; Klaus, a gorgeously animated Santa Claus origin story; and Free Solo, the Oscar-winning documentary of Alex Honnold's ropeless climb of El Capitan. No Disney sponsorship shapes these picks, and TasteRay helps you match one to tonight.
Disney+ has grown well beyond its family-friendly origins. Between its Pixar library, 20th Century Studios acquisitions, and an expanding slate of originals, there's genuinely something for everyone — if you know where to look.
We dig back through the Disney+ catalog whenever its lineup rotates and surface the films that deserve your attention, whether you're watching solo, with a partner, or with the whole family. No filler, no obvious picks you already know about.

FAQs about Best Movies on Disney+ Right Now
Do you only include Disney-branded movies?
This list of the best movies on Disney+ doesn't only include Disney-branded titles, since the platform now carries movies from 20th Century Studios, Searchlight, and National Geographic too. Everything on the service is in scope here, from Free Solo's climbing documentary to Justice League Dark's darker animated fare.
Are these suitable for kids?
Not every movie on this best Disney+ list is suitable for kids, since a few, like the R-rated Justice League Dark: Apokolips War, are aimed squarely at adults. Family-friendly picks like The Wild Robot, Klaus, and Wolfwalkers are noted clearly so you can tell at a glance what works for movie night.
Can TasteRay filter recommendations by streaming platform?
TasteRay can filter recommendations by streaming platform, so telling it you want something on Disney+ along with your mood or who you're watching with produces picks pulled only from that catalog. It's free during early access with no credit card, later priced at $6.99 a month or $69.99 a year.
