r/DisneyPlus on Reddit: Best movie for a kid who hasn’t watched many Disney movies?
September 16, 2025 -

My little brother is 10 years old this year and he’s seen almost zero Disney movies and doesn’t really understand any references to anything Disney. What would be your go to movie to show your kid or younger sibling, he’s seen a few like the incredibles, the little dinosaur and I think thats it. I was debating on Big Hero 6 because he loves super heroes from DC and Marvel or Brother Bear because he’s getting into the spiritual type stuff.

TLDR: Recommend a Disney movie for a first time watcher of the entire universe. Chronological order doesn’t matter.

r/movies on Reddit: Non-Animated Disney Movies
January 2, 2024 -

I didn't realize it before (although I should have), but Disney has made a huge volume of non-animated movies. Their recent record of live actioning all the old animated stuff aside; they have a huge library of stuff. Some of which I didn't even realize were actually done by Disney (and not one of the many studios they purchased). Some are kind of a given when I think about it; but so many are ones that I didn't realize were Disney.
