    21 Of The Best Things To Binge On Disney+, Now That You Have Nothing But Time On Your Hands

    We could all use a bit more magic in our lives right now.

    Now that we are all mostly without work commutes, dinner plans and Sunday brunches, we are all sitting with a bunch more time on our hands.

    20th Century Fox

    I have moved around all the furniture in my living room, organised my pantry and bookshelf.

    Sometimes though, all you want to do is sit on your couch and be comforted by the soothing sounds and images of quality TV shows or movies. Enter: Disney+.

    The Walt Disney Company

    Me, watching absolutely everything in their catalogue.

    Here are 21 of the best things on Disney+ to get your eyeballs on.

    1. Avengers: Endgame

    Marvel

    Remember the hype before this movie was released?! Mate, I just rewatched this and I, for one, can't believe they pulled off such a brilliant ending to this much-anticipated final instalment of the series. I feel like every character got the arch and ever after they deserved. Black Widow. Iron Man. Captain America?! Yep, definitely time to watch it again.

    2. Marvel's Hero Project

    The Walt Disney Company

    If you're looking for an injection of hope in this mad, uncertain time we live in, this here is the only series you need. Each episode follows a different extraordinary child, who is overcoming overwhelming obstacles and making differences to their community along the way. I got chills watching this.

    3. Frozen II

    The Walt Disney Company

    I have three young children, so for years, have been playing "Let It Go" on repeat during every car ride. Enter: Frozen II. Does the sequel live up to the original? I can confirm, yes, there is just as much female empowerment, laughs and killer tunes as the original. "Show Yourself" > "Let It Go".

    4. The World According to Jeff Goldblum

    Disney+

    Whoever came up with the concept of 360 minutes of pure Jeff Goldblum has my eternal thanks. The internet's OG boyfriend is endlessly entertaining, as he takes viewers on a journey to learn more about sneakers, tattoos, RVs, pools and more.

    5. Toy Story marathon

    Pixar / Disney

    There are few films that Pixar have released that I don't (very vocally) love, but I can't go past the OG, Toy Story. Chances are you, too, grew up with Woody and Buzz — so you know how over the four films, you will have your heart stretched and pulled and put back together again. Perfect viewing for the family.

    6. Pixar shorts

    Pixar / Disney

    You never, ever skip the previews before a Pixar film. Never. And that's because of the new short that will play before the main feature — every bit as emotional and brilliant as what you paid money to see. Now you can binge watch all of them (as I did) from the comfort of your couch. My personal favourites are Bao and La Luna — just try not to cry.

    7. High School Musical

    The Walt Disney Company

    I know I'm not the only one who still knows the final dance routine, back to front. Zac Efron got his big break from this gooey, heart-warming musical that caused many a teenager to dramatically sing of their heartbreak down school hallways. Watch, then try to not sing "We're All In This Together" for days after (spoiler alert: You can't).

    8. Then, follow up with High School Musical: The Musical: The Series

    Disney+

    I mean, the name alone is reason to give this series a shot. This show has everything you watched the movies for — young, dramatic love and songs that won't get out of your brain after one viewing. It's filling the Troy and Gabriella-shaped hole that the end of the movie franchise left, and I for one, am grateful.

    9. Mrs. Doubtfire

    20th Century Fox

    This movie was on heavy rotation during my childhood and I'm willing to bet, yours. Robin Williams is joy personified — and how can you not love the story of a dad trying to reconnect with his children? This movie serves all the heart fuzzies and laughs — and did anyone else really want to try that cake when they were little?? 'Cause same.

    10. All of the X-Men movies

    20th Century Fox

    As if it weren't enough that Disney+ streams the Marvel superhero universe, it also has the X-Men series. Two words: Hugh Jackman. Honestly, if you haven't watched the man as Wolverine in years, now's the time to get a refresher, because it is a revelation. The intricacies of familial relationships, prejudice and justice, all over the span of several generations — this series has it all.

    11. All of the Star Wars movies

    The Walt Disney Company

    You're either a fan of Star Wars or we can't be friends. Okay, no, that's a bit dramatic — but I firmly believe that given the screen time, everyone would love this iconic series. Three sagas, spanning decades and a whole host of wildly interesting characters, it's hard to see how you wouldn't find one to relate to —though, let's not kid ourselves, you're probably not as cool as Han (none of us are).

    12. Then, The Mandalorian

    The Walt Disney Company

    The series that spawned a million memes. Yes, this is where we meet baby Yoda, which is grounds enough to dive in — but we also get a peek into the universe, five years after Return of the Jedi, through the adventures of an intergalactic bounty hunter. Be prepared to binge your way through this, almost obsessively.

    13. Mulan

    The Walt Disney Company

    Has a single person ever watched Mulan and not absolutely adored it? I think not. This brilliant film showed little girls that they were capable of so many of the traits usually only reserved for princes in storybooks — bravery, sacrifice, intelligence and physical strength. And though Mulan starts out by disguising herself as a man, she saves China exactly as she is — and is there anything more badass than that?

    14. Free Solo

    National Geographic

    This film won Best Documentary Feature at the Oscars, so you know it's compelling as all hell. Alex Honnold, rock climber and absolute daredevil, is followed on his quest to free solo climb El Capitan — an obscenely steep rock formation in Yosemite National Park. It's not only the climb itself that presents a danger — but also the act of capturing it on film, should the documentarians distract him on the ascent. You'll hold your breath the whole way through.

    15. Avatar

    20th Century Fox

    For a decade, Avatar was the highest-grossing film of all time — now's as good a time as any to recall why. The lush, neon beauty of Pandora, the fictional world borne of James Cameron's imagination, never fails to blow me away. Action, romance, drama — watch to be instantly transported to another universe.

    16. The Lion King, the original

    The Walt Disney Company

    One of the very best — everyone could use the lessons in responsibility and facing your fears that Simba picks up during this movie. Scar is one of the most excellent villains ever committed to film (change my mind), Timon and Pumba are the best side-kicks — and last, but not least — the music. Thank you, Sir Elton John, what bangers.

    17. Then, The Lion King, the live-action remake

    The Walt Disney Company

    I mean, just look at that animation. Absolutely wild (pun definitely intended). A beautiful remake of a much beloved movie — not to mention, Beyonce contributes to the soundtrack, so no-brainer, really.

    18. The Little Mermaid

    The Walt Disney Company

    Everyone has a favourite Disney princess, and this here, is unabashedly mine. Ariel is an eternal optimist, a dreamer and hopeless romantic — a girl after my own heart. Adapted from a fairytale about a mermaid who throws herself off a ship into the ocean when her love is unrequited, Disney (thankfully) gave our heroine a much more fitting ending.

    19. The Simpsons

    20th Century Fox

    I have been in a multitude of conversations where someone has dropped a quote from The Simpsons and I've stood there, the only one not laughing. Turns out not watching The Simpsons as a kid has left me somewhat divorced from important cultural moments. Finally, I have access to 31 seasons of the show and you best believe I'm going to binge on them all until I, too, can laugh at, "nobody likes Milhouse!" (whatever that means).

    20. 10 Things I Hate About You

    Touchstone Pictures

    Oh, Heath. He never was so charming as in 10 Things I Hate About You, as the misunderstood bad boy with the heart of gold. Watch again for all the best lines ("Mr Stratford, it's just a party." "And hell is just a sauna.") in this, the best teen movie of all time — yes, I said it, and I stand by it.

    21. And finally, very soon, Onward, Pixar's latest feature film

    Disney / Pixar

    Disney recently announced they'll be skipping the cinematic release of Pixar's latest film, and dropping it on Disney+ from 24 April. The story follows two elf brothers (voiced by Marvel alum, Tom Holland and Chris Pratt) as they go on an epic quest to reunite with their dead dad for the day. Knowing Pixar, it'll mean tears and laughs, for sure.
