Since its inception, the Home Sweet Home Alone in November 2021.
While Disney+ has also swelled its ranks (and popularity) by becoming the exclusive home of Luca pulling huge streaming numbers for the service.
For the sake of clarity, movies that were exclusively released on the platform, such as Pixar and Walt Disney Studios predecessors. Here's every Disney+ original movie ranked from worst to best.
#16 - Secret Society Of Second-Born Royals
It is hard to imagine anyone at Disney+ getting too excited over the incredibly worn premise of Secret Society of Second-Born Royals, which follows a rebellious, superpowered princess who discovers she belongs to a secret society with a longstanding tradition of covertly keeping the peace throughout the fictional kingdom of Illyria. Secret Society contains every imaginable Disney cliché mixed with some bizarre teen-rebellion scenes that include Princess Sam (Peyton Elizabeth Lee) sneaking into a nightclub and shouting, "Down with the monarchy!" as she argues with her royal parents. Secret Society offers absolutely nothing original to the Disney+ roster, with even its younger audiences sure to notice how ineptly it rips off classic Marvel tropes and concepts.
#15 - Magic Camp
The build-up to Magic Camp's overarching message of self-love and acceptance is pure and just, a fuzzy premise alone cannot hold up the entire narrative of a film, which is the cardinal sin of poor writing at the heart of Magic Camp's many failures.
#14 - Home Sweet Home Alone
While always a tall order to repeat the lightning-in-a-bottle magic of the Macauley Culkin-led original, Home Alone presents so well.
#13 - Godmothered
Cinderella tropes that end with a typically cliched true love. Godmothered is a palatable, fun family film, whose ending, unfortunately, undoes much of Bell and Fisher's hard work at introducing a new premise and world for the Disney+ service.
#12 - Black Beauty
Disney+'s the Black Beauty movie quickly becomes an exercise in tear-jerking, with the end product feeling decidedly un-Disney-like as the movie jumps between elation and despair with a weak horse-obsessed protagonist trying to keep up.
#11 - Safety
This inspired-by-a-true-story sports drama hits all the marks of a Disney+ original without ever threatening to become a classic or particularly celebrated straight-to-streaming movie. The real archival images of Ray McElrathbey playing football and appearing on Oprah are undoubtedly stirring, but the core of Safety is exactly as its name suggests. Safety's middle-of-the-road approach ensures it is a solid pick for family movie night but does not live long in the memory, even as it sensitively tackles issues of race and equality within the NCAA.
#10 - Noelle
Noelle attempting to introduce some progressive themes surrounding a female Santa Claus. The problem is that Noelle does not fully run with these interesting concepts, spending far too much time on typical Christmas cheer-inducing scenes, which means Noelle ends up being a fun family film albeit with massive amounts of wasted potential.
#9 - Flora & Ulysses
Flora & Ulysses (2021) centers on the youngest Buckman child and her superpowered, sentient pet squirrel, who refreshingly save the low-key setting of an animal sanctuary using their powers and teamwork. The film contains mid- and end-credit scenes reminiscent of Marvel's franchise setups, and Flora & Ulysses certainly leaves ample room for another entertaining sequel. Ardent Marvel fans will also note that, for now, Flora & Ulysses is about the closest audiences will come to see the much-vaunted IP Squirrel Girl, with the film itself giving several nods to popular comic book culture.
#8 - Lady and the Tramp
Disney+'s Lady and the Tramp 2019 fundamentally understands why audiences are streaming it, namely to see cute CGI dogs that evoke Disney-based nostalgia. In this regard, Lady and the Tramp is a qualified success that acts as a sound homage to the original movie without ever threatening to offer a new take on a timeless romance story.
#7 - Stargirl
Based on the Jerry Spinelli children's novel of the same name, Stargirl hits all the familiar beats of a coming-of-age story, while effectively utilizing the burgeoning talents of star-in-the-making Grace VanderWaal. Stargirl's narrative is decent enough, yet it is worth streaming if only to see VanderWaal before she inevitably becomes the rampant success critics assuredly predict in their Stargirl reviews. The music composition of Stargirl is another feather in the movie's cap and evokes memories of early High School Musical offerings that enraptured a generation of young viewers.
