The arrival of Disney’s new streaming platform, Disney+, has 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, is also now 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 theaters and, eventually, Disney+. Here’s a list of every Disney live-action movie—some we’ve seen, some are coming soon, and a few are still in the rumor phase.
