‘Love+War’ (2025)

Premiering on Disney+ November 7th, ‘Love+War’ is a National Geographic documentary that offers a look into the life of Lynsey Addario, a Pulitzer Prize-winning photojournalist. The film follows Addario as she reports from dangerous conflict zones, exploring the emotional toll her work takes on her personal life. Directed by Academy Award winners Elizabeth Chai Vasarhelyi and Jimmy Chin, the 95-minute documentary showcases her assignments in places like the Middle East and Ukraine, and how she balances a high-risk career with family. Thorsten Thielow served as the cinematographer.

‘LEGO Frozen: Operation Puffins’ (2025)

I absolutely loved revisiting Arendelle with Anna, Elsa, and Olaf in this new animated special! It’s a really sweet and funny story about a rescue mission sparked by some playful puffins. The animation style is charming and the story moves quickly, which makes it perfect for families and younger viewers. It feels like a little treat, a fun adventure you can easily enjoy between the longer ‘Frozen’ movies. And it’s clearly a hit – everyone’s talking about it on Disney+!

‘Hocus Pocus 2’ (2022)

When a new group of teenagers unintentionally resurrect them, the Sanderson sisters are back in present-day Salem. The sequel, directed by Anne Fletcher, brings back the original stars – Bette Midler, Sarah Jessica Parker, and Kathy Najimy – and introduces a new, younger cast. It builds on the story with new details and musical numbers, while still capturing the humor and feel of the first film. It’s a fun, family-friendly choice for the season and has been very popular on Disney+ this week.

‘Incredibles 2’ (2018)

Elastigirl takes the lead in trying to win back public support for superheroes, while Bob struggles to manage things at home with the kids. Brad Bird, who wrote and directed the film, delivers exciting and creative action sequences, along with a compelling story centered around the Screenslaver. Michael Giacchino’s music perfectly enhances both the action and the funny, heartwarming family scenes. It’s a great movie that pairs seamlessly with the first ‘Incredibles’ film for a double feature.

‘Coco’ (2017)

Miguel, a young musician, journeys to the Land of the Dead to learn about his family and rediscover his passion for music. The film, directed by Lee Unkrich and Adrian Molina, is a heartwarming and funny story rich in cultural details. It’s driven by its characters and features the touching song ‘Remember Me.’ The voice actors include Anthony Gonzalez, Gael García Bernal, and Benjamin Bratt.

‘The Book of Life’ (2014)

I recently watched this amazing animated film produced by Guillermo del Toro and directed by Jorge R. Gutiérrez, and I was completely blown away! It follows three characters – Manolo, María, and Joaquín – on a really unique adventure that jumps between different worlds. It’s all about the choices they make and what they leave behind. What really stood out to me was how beautifully it’s designed, inspired by traditional folk art, and the music is incredible. It feels really special and different from anything else I’ve seen on Disney+, and it’s clearly a hit – it was one of the most popular things people were watching this week! It’s a story about remembering where you come from and honoring your traditions, and I think families will really connect with it.

‘Ratatouille’ (2007)

Ratatouille tells the story of Remy, a rat who dreams of becoming a chef. He unexpectedly partners with a garbage boy named Linguini, and together they try to cook in a famous Parisian restaurant, believing that anyone can create great food. Directed by Brad Bird, the movie is celebrated for its incredibly detailed animation of food and a lively soundtrack by Michael Giacchino. Memorable characters like the stern food critic Anton Ego and the controlling Chef Skinner add to the high-energy kitchen atmosphere. It’s a heartwarming film that’s enjoyable to watch again and again.

‘The Incredibles’ (2004)

The Incredibles is a beloved Pixar movie about the Parr family, who are secretly superheroes trying to balance their powers with normal family life. Directed by Brad Bird, the film features a stylish, vintage-future look, exciting action sequences, and a realistic portrayal of family relationships. It stars the voices of Craig T. Nelson, Holly Hunter, and Samuel L. Jackson, and is known for its cool jazz soundtrack and iconic scenes, making it a must-watch for superhero fans on Disney+.

‘Hocus Pocus’ (1993)

This story takes place in Salem and brings back the Sanderson sisters when a teenager accidentally lights a magical candle. Directed by Kenny Ortega and starring Bette Midler, Sarah Jessica Parker, and Kathy Najimy, the movie combines spooky fun with humor as the witches adjust to the modern world, all wrapped up in the spirit of a classic Halloween. Its use of real effects and memorable musical numbers are key to why it remains a popular favorite every year.

‘The Nightmare Before Christmas’ (1993)

The stop-motion film The Nightmare Before Christmas tells the story of Jack Skellington, the Pumpkin King of Halloween Town, who stumbles upon Christmas Town and tries to bring Christmas to his world – with chaotic results. Directed by Henry Selick and produced by Tim Burton, the movie’s music and voice work (including Jack’s voice) are all done by Danny Elfman. The film’s unique, handmade animation style creates a wonderfully dark and whimsical atmosphere. Because it blends Halloween and Christmas themes, it remains popular during both holidays.
