What’s the best Disney movie I can watch? We’ve all asked ourselves the question, only to spend the next 15 minutes scrolling through the streaming service’s oddly specific genre menus and getting overwhelmed by the constantly shifting trend menus. 

Disney’s huge catalog of movies, combined with its inscrutable recommendations algorithm, can make finding something to watch feel more like a chore than a way to unwind when really what you want are the good Disney movies. No… the best Disney movies.

We’re here to help. For those suffering from choice paralysis, we’ve narrowed down your options to 25 of our favorite current Disney movies on the platform. 

We’ll be updating this list monthly as Disney cycles movies in and out of its library, so be sure to check back next time you’re stuck in front of the Disney movies screen.
