Looking to stream this weekend and do you want to look at the classic animations, superheroes, adventure and drama films on Disney? This article has prepared for you a list of the top six (6) top Disney movies to watch in 2025.
Categories of Movies Making the List
Classic animations and a plethora of drama and superhero movies are on this list.
Michael Gondry, a French producer and director has this to say about animation “I think animation is a very truthful way to express your thoughts, because the process is very direct. That’s what I’ve always liked about animation, particularly abstract animation. You go from the idea to execution, straight from your brain.”
We must mention that there are sequels that viewers have been waiting for ever since the debut went live.
The Best Movies to Watch on Disney Right Now
Moana 2, The Princess and the Frog and a host of MCU movies are some of the best to watch on Disney+. Let’s dive in to see what gained them the rating.
Moana 2
The epic animated musical, Moana finally returns to our screens in 2024 and the wave of excitement has carried on into 2025. Moana 2 tells the story of Moana, who this time, hearkens to her wayfinding ancestors’ call to journey to the far seas of Oceania.
It packs a mix of music and adventure as the viewers stay glued to how the young one sets sail in the unending quest to connect people. This time, she works with a new crew to cross the ocean towards Motufetu, where she hopes to save the people, albeit being transformed into a demigod.
The Princess and the Frog
This 2009 animated hit released by Walt Disney Pictures makes a comeback over 15 years later. It’s one of the best movies on Disney in 2025; mainly influenced by the proposed release of “Tiana” , a sequel to be released on Disney+.
The Walt Disney Animation Studios would officially announce the cancellation of the movie. However, it’d be replaced with a now-in-development short form of the main movie.
It’s interesting to note that not only superheroes and animated titles are available on the Disney+ streaming platform. You will also find hundreds of Disney sports movies, which tell the story of famous people who have an interest in a particular sport. An example is Denzel Washington in “Remember the Titans.”
Ratatouille
One may wonder what makes a 2007 film trend in 2025. It was released in 2007 and distributed by both Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures and Walt Disney Pictures.
One quote you can recall is “You must not let anyone define your limits because of where you come from. Your only limit is your soul.”
You are sure to find it on the Disney movies list for the year, because of these reasons:
There are speculations that Disney and another animation company, Pixar are set to release its sequel.
The sequel, if released, is expected to take the viewers deeper into the realistic makeover of the lead character, Remy.
Though feelers suggest that the two companies are not releasing the sequel; the marketing campaigns seem high.
Ratatouille 2 is expected to have a plot centred on a young rat who schemes to be one of the chefs employed at the Garrett restaurant.
Captain America: Brave New World
We take a detour to the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) movies, where a sequel to Captain America has been released.
Captain America: Brave New World was released on February 14th, 2025. It tells the story of Sam Wilson, the new Captain America. The superhero movie takes the viewers through Sam’s desire to unravel an international situation that involves the political crisis that tends to arise if an illegal sale of classified items is not halted.
The 2-hour movie is already showing on top streaming platforms. In the last 3 weeks, it has maintained its stand as one of the best movies on Disney. Viewers are entertained by the new Captain America, who takes on the role, following the end of the trilogy after the release of Captain America: Civil War, in 2016.
Deadpool and Wolverine
This is a July 2024 release that has found its way back into the table of top Disney movies. It featured Ryan Reynolds who played the lead role and a handful of other acts, including Channing Tatum and Leslie Uggams.
This American superhero movie from the stables of the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) tells the story of Deadpool and Wolverine, with the former recruiting the help of reluctant Wolverine to safeguard the universe from the existential threat before it.
Avengers: Endgame
The 2019 release, Avengers: Endgame, the fourth instalment in the Avengers saga, is trending yet again. In 2025, it leads on the charts of Disney movies list and experts attribute it to the following factors:
The influence and basis on the development of forthcoming titles, such as Avengers: Secret Wars (set for release in 2027) and Avengers: Doomsday (due for release in 2026).
Viewers are reviewing ahead of the release of Avengers: Kang Dynasty.
