Disney+ Original Movies – All the New Movies on Disney’s Streaming Service – GoodHousekeeping.com
- Disney launches its new streaming service, Disney+, on November 12.
- In addition to old and classic titles, Disney+ will offer original movies and TV series.
- New movie programming begins with a remake of Lady and the Tramp, which will be available at launch.
You’re never going to be at a loss for movies if you subscribe to the new Disney+ streaming service. Disney+ has more than eight decades of Disney catalogue titles lined up and ready to stream, going all the way back to 1937’s Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. It encompasses all of the direct-to-TV Disney Channel movies you’ve already forgotten existed (hello, Zapped starring Zendaya), and will start carrying all of the animated, live action, Pixar, Star Wars, and Marvel movies going forward. It’s basically impossible to get through it all.
But Disney is not one to rest on its laurels. In addition to developing buzzy new television series for Disney+, the company has also developed a slate of original movies for the service. The way things are going, Disney+ could be the place where the company experiments with new kinds of films that may be too risky to put straight into the theater, which means some exciting flicks could be on their way.
But first, here’s how to watch Disney+.
Disney+ launches on November 12, and you can stream it almost everywhere you stream your other shows: your Roku, iPad/iPhone, Android phones, Chromecast, Xbox One, or Playstation. The only place that isn’t 100% set to go is the Amazon family of products: Fire TV Fire tablets, Fire Sticks, etc. The price at launch is $7/month, but if you bundle it with Hulu and ESPN you can get the whole thing for $13/month — or get a year for free if you subscribe to a Verizon wireless service with an unlimited data plan. Then, once you’re set up with all that, it’s time to stream some movies.
Here are all the original movies coming to Disney+
Only Lady and the Tramp and Noelle will be available on the first day — but more are on the way.

Lady and the Tramp: Disney rescued two dogs, Rose and Monte, to star in the live-action/CG remake of the classic animated film. Stars Tessa Thompson and Justin Theroux lend their voices.
Noelle: For those looking to get a jump on their holiday movie-watching, Noelle delves into the workings of the Claus family. When Santa retires, his daughter, Noelle (Anna Kendrick) has to step in and help run things with her brother (Bill Hader).
Togo: Expected at the very end of 2019, this movie stars Willem Dafoe in an action/adventure about dog-sledding.
The Secret Society of Second-Born Royals: If you’ve always been more of a Harry person than a Will fan, this one could be for you. The movie combines princesses and superheroes, as Sam, second in line to the throne in her kingdom, learns she’s part of a group of second-borns who use superpowers to keep the peace. This will premiere in 2020.
Timmy Failure: Mistakes Were Made: Spotlight director Tom McCarthy leads this live-action movie based on the Timmy Failure books.
Flora and Ulysses: Based on the Newbery Award–winning children’s book by Kate DiCamillo, Flora and Ulysses tells the story of a 10-year-old comics fan who saves a super-powered squirrel. No release date has been announced, but production has already begun.
The Sword in the Stone: Also in the queue for live-action remakes, The Sword in the Stone has lined up a writer, Game of Thrones‘s Bryan Cogman, and a director, Juan Carlos Fresnadillo, who did 28 Weeks Later. Sounds gritty!
Stargirl: Grace VanderWaal, winner of America’s Got Talent, will star in an adaptation of the YA novel by Jerry Spinelli.
Safety: Marshall‘s Reginald Hudlin directs a movie about the inspiring true story of the life of South Carolina Clemson Tigers safety Ray McElrathbey.
Dolphin Reef: Natalie Portman will narrate the next film in the Disneynature series, about a young Pacific bottlenose dolphin named Echo.
Phineas and Ferb: Candace Against the Universe: Much of the original cast will return for the movie based on the Disney Channel series. This time, the pair is tasked with rescuing their sister.
There are also, of course, sequels, reboots, and remakes in the works: An investor phone call revealed the possibility that Disney could reboot some 20th Century Fox titles now that the two companies have merged. Home Alone, Cheaper By the Dozen, Diary of a Wimpy Kid, and Night at the Museum were mentioned as primary contenders. And Jen D’Angelo, writer and co-producer of Workaholics, has been hired to write a sequel to Hocus Pocus, though none of the original stars are on board yet. There’s no word on whether or not it’ll follow the plot of the sequel novel.
And, if that’s not enough, you can browse through the 600+ (!) titles of other movies and TV shows that are on the site: Disney+ spent a day tweeting about them all.
If you can scroll to the end of that thread, you’re truly a Disney superfan.
