As the new kid on the block,Disney Plushas had quite the mountain to climb to compete with the likes ofNetflix,Amazonand the bazillion other streaming services out there. Of course, this hasn’t been a problem for the House of the Mouse, offering oodles worth of original entertainment to keep consumers content for months on end.
With more and more movies arriving onDisney Plusso soon after debuting in the cinema – and in some cases on day-and-date – the decision of what to watch just became even harder. Fear not! We’ve scoured everything the Walt Disney Company has on offer to make sure you know exactly what’s worth your time and what to start streaming right away.
These picks have been taken from Disney Plus in the UK, however, the majority of content is pretty ubiquitous across the globe. Still, if you are curious about what’s available in other territories, make sure to check out thebest VPNson the market today.
Encanto
The film follows the everyday lives of the magical Madrigals – focusing on protagonist Mirabel who, unlike her family, does not possess any superhuman abilities. When Mirabel discovers that these powers may disappear for good, it’s up to her to find out what’s going on and what happened to her ostracised uncle, Bruno. It’s a charming one hour and 42 minutes that the whole family can enjoy. You can’t go wrong.
Eternals

While nowhere near the heights of Avengers: Endgame orSpider-Man: No Way Home, Eternals is visually stunning, admirably ambitious and deals with existential themes. It’s got a packed cast too: Gemma Chan, Richard Madden, Angelina Jolie, Salma Hayek, Kumail Nanjiani and Kit Harrington, to name a few. Not to mention, one of the biggest shock mid-credits cameos in the MCU to date.

The Big Short

One of my personal favourite films of the last decade. The Big Short sees director Adam McKay (Vice, Don’t Look Up) tackle the financial events leading up to the housing market crash of 2007 – and somehow makes it digestible.
Honestly, I can’t say enough good things, whether that be the unconventional editing, powerful performances across the board, or just how horrifically truthful the screenplay plays out from the material it pulls from. Alongside the top talents of Christian Bale, Steve Carell, Ryan Gosling and Brad Pitt, the biographical comedy-drama breaks down key financial information with the help of some wonderful celebrity cameos, somehow turning what should be a straight-up snore-fest into a must-watch for any cinephile.
