When Disney’s streaming platform, Disney+, arrived in 2019, it had absolutely everyone buzzing. And rightfully so: The service includes so many of your childhood favorites, including princess flicks like Cinderella and Aladdin, Disney Channel TV shows, and Disney Channel original movies. And Disney’s slate of live-action remakes, like Beauty and the Beast, also became available on the streaming platform. (See a full guide here.)
Even more exciting is the fact that Disney has so many more live-action films in the works, which means it’s only a matter of time before those hit Disney+. Some are even slated to launch directly on the streaming platform. Here’s a list of every Disney live-action movie—some we’ve seen, some coming soon, and a few still in the rumor phase.
