With summer temperatures rising, staying indoors can be a great way to beat the heat while still enjoying the season’s vibes. Disney+ offers an extensive selection of movies, documentaries, and shorts that bring the spirit of summer right into your living room. Here are some must-watch selections to add to your summer watchlist!
“Luca” is a delightful tale of two young boys enjoying an unforgettable Italian summer packed with gelato, pasta, and endless scooter rides. But beneath the fun lies a secret—they’re sea monsters from an underwater world. This heartwarming movie from Pixar is a sweet treat you don’t want to miss.
Next, we dive into the deep blue with “Finding Nemo.” This modern classic follows Nemo, a young clownfish, who is taken to a dentist’s office aquarium. His father, Marlin, along with the forgetful fish Dory, embarks on an epic journey across the ocean to bring him home. The fun doesn’t stop there—continue the adventure with its sequel, “Finding Dory,” for a full aquatic experience.
For those in the mood for a nostalgic road trip, “A Goofy Movie” is the perfect pick. Goofy drags his son Max on a chaotic cross-country fishing trip, hoping to bond with him but unintentionally thwarting Max’s plans to impress his crush, Roxanne. With its catchy songs and goofy charm, it’s a summer essential.
Fans of adventure and mystery will love “Pirates of the Caribbean: Curse of the Black Pearl.” Follow the daring exploits of Captain Jack Sparrow as he battles rival pirates and attempts to save the governor’s daughter. This high-seas adventure is perfect for fans missing their trips to the Disney theme parks.
Lastly, “The Wonderful Summer of Mickey Mouse” is an enjoyable animation where Mickey and his friends recount the wild events leading up to the Annual Summer Fireworks Spectacular. While it might not be the strongest in the series, it’s still a fantastic choice for family fun.
