When Disney+ launched last week, streamers everywhere were excited to find childhood favorites and movies they had completely forgotten about. With that in mind, we asked the BuzzFeed Community about the best hidden gems they've found on Disney+ so far.
Here's what they said!
1. Cool Runnings
"My boyfriend and I CRIED when we found Cool Runnings, the story of the Jamaican bobsled team. One of the most underrated Disney movies EVER. Feel the rhythm, feel the rhyme — get on up, it's bobsled time!!!"
2. Atlantis
"Hands down favorite Disney movie of all time."
3. Heavyweights
"I was ecstatic when I saw Heavyweights on Disney+. I haven't seen that movie since I was a chubby awkward middle school kid. Now that I'm a chubby awkward adult, it's like reliving my childhood again."
4. While You Were Sleeping
"Sandra Bullock and Bill Pullman always get me."
5. Remember The Titans
"One of my favorite movies of all time!!"
6. Lady and the Tramp 2: Scamp’s Adventure
"Maybe I’m biased because it was my favorite movie as a kid, but I haven’t seen it for years until I saw it on Disney again. Super underrated but it has it all: action, adventure, romance, music, family feels, nostalgia!"
7. Three Men And A Little Lady
"A few years ago during a 'discussion' with my boyfriend about movies, I got bored and (jokingly) said that it is the BEST sequel of all time, and I have been able to stick to my claim all these years later. Added it to my watch list so now every time he asks what I'm watching on my phone I can pull it up."
8. 10 Things I Hate About You
"10 Things I Hate About You with Heath Ledger and Julia Stiles!"
9. Darkwing Duck
"It’s like I’m just coming home from school and settling in with my pizza rolls."
10. Jungle 2 Jungle
"One of my favorite hidden gems from the '90s! Peak Tim Allen!"
11. The Three Musketeers
"Kiefer Sutherland was smokin' hot, Charlie Sheen was TOTALLY made of Tigers Blood back then, Oliver Platt is hilarious, and Tim Curry is the ULTIMATE creep!"
12. Bedknobs and Broomsticks
"Bedknobs and Broomsticks is the most underrated Disney movie! Angela Lansbury as a WITCH? A traveling bed? Dancing armor? Sign me up."
13. Newsies
"A young singing and dancing Christian Bale...yes please."
14. Newsies: The Broadway Musical
"While the original is a classic, the new broadway musical is unbeatable. The choreography and score are amazing and the actors’ performances are incredible. And with a live show filming, it feels like you’re right up on stage with them. A must watch for musical fans everywhere."
"It's just so freaking good but it was never available anywhere else."
15. Life With Mikey
"Such a hilarious and underrated Michael J. Fox movie, with tons of other actors you recognize! My brother and I loved that movie growing up!"
16. Monsters, Inc.
"I’ve already watched Monsters, Inc. three times. Yesterday we watched Lady and the Tramp, today I’m gonna try the live action version."
17. Willow
"One of my all time favorite movies which is definitely underrated. I've always thought it as in the same league as Lord of the Rings, The Neverending Story and The Princess Bride and doesn't get the appreciation it deserves."
"This absolutely holds up. I haven't seen this gem in 20 years and made me feel like I was eight years old again. Character are as good a so remember, story is better as an adult and the sound effects are dated but still we're ahead of it's time."
18. Country Bears
"It’s a movie that literally no one ever talks about and it is honestly so good and so funny! Some catchy songs and Christopher Walken is absolutely hilarious in it."
19. The Brave Little Toaster to the Rescue
"I’ve been waiting for so long for that movie to stream somewhere so I can share it with my daughters!! It's the original Toy Story if you think about it..."
20. Candleshoe
"Awesome live-action movie from the '70s with baby Jodie Foster, secret identities, a treasure hunt, and just tons of fun."
"A movie my mum showed me when I was little and had completely forgotten about except for this one scene I could never place for the past 15 years."
"I watched it this weekend and I enjoyed as much as when I was a kid. Young Jodie Foster was so much fun to watch."
21. So Weird
"Molly Phillips as a rocker mom whose kids get into some X-Files-esque hijinks, young and dapper Eric von Detten, and Blake Lively’s equally as beautiful older brother Eric. It’s what my youth was made of! Brought back amazing memories of being scared."
22. Operation Dumbo Drop
"I was OBSESSED with this movie as a kid!"
23. Spider-Man: The Animated Series
"The original Spider-Man: The Animated Series from 1994! I loved this show as a kid and haven’t been able to stream it from anywhere until now, and I love rewatching all of the adventures I used to love."
24. Return To Oz
"Definitely brings me back to all the super strange movies I loved as a child. Who wasn’t creeped out by the Wheelers?! Such a great movie."
25. The Inspector Gadget movies
"Inspector Gadget 1 and 2 are on there. Don’t contact me for a good year."
26. Camp Nowhere
"Camp Nowhere was also great to watch again. That '90s nostalgia is great."
27. Gummi Bears
"Gummi Bears and Gargoyles. My husband thinks I'm crazy because this last Sunday binge watching the first season of Gummi Bears, LOL."
28. Jonas
"The Disney Channel show starring the Jonas brothers. It’s really underrated and it’s really funny to see them during their Disney Channel days."
29. Flight of the Navigator
"A quintessential '80s Disney movie. Even though it might actually be from the '70s. Watch for a young Sarah Jessica Parker."
"I LOVED that movie so much when I was a kid. Watched it on Sunday. So '80s. I can only imagine how amazing the tech would be in a remake now. Thanks, Disney!"
30. Disney’s Hercules: The Animated Series
"I had been looking for this for years and could only find really expensive VHS copies. It also has Lilo & Stitch: The Series the series and the Emperor's New School, both of which I enjoy more than their movie versions."
31. The Parent Trap
"The original Parent Trap! I love that movie so much, but haven’t seen it since I stopped using a VHS! While I am a fan of the Lindsay Lohan version, the Haley Mills version is just classic and the costumes are so fun. My sisters both texted me this week and said they watched it too. If you haven’t seen it, give it a chance it’s worth it!"
32. Max Keeble’s Big Move
"My brother and I watched that like at least once a week when we were kids and I definitely still have it on VHS."
33. The Journey of Natty Gann
"Young John Cusack! Yes!"
34. Out Of The Box
"I remember watching that as a kid and when I turned it on I felt absolutely nostalgic and happy!"
35. Brink!
"Brink!, a movie about roller skating and friendship in California."
36. The Emperor’s New Groove
"The best, OG, most underrated Disney movie EVER."
