What Disney classics might you be able to stream on Disney Plus?
Disney Plus has teased some pretty amazing original shows and films coming to the streaming app. But what classic Disney movies will be available to stream?
While Disney+ has boasted some pretty competitive original content, you have to wonder how many of their earliest films will be available to subscribers. After all, it wasn’t for their long list of animated movies and original films of the past, Disney probably wouldn’t be the empire it is today. Which is why they were smart to stock the archives with some of their earliest films and shows.
This was a necessary move considering that the adults paying for this app monthly will surely have favorites that they want to see again. And the bonus will be that children of all ages will have access to some of the fantastic Disney productions that came years before their time. And it will all be available to stream with a click of a button.

Unfortunately, not everything will be available all at once. For one, it seems that Disney may be introducing films and shows in waves to the streaming platform since all the announcements thus far have had different release dates. The other issue is that some of the Disney films have licensing issues and contractual obligations that would need to be worked out.
All things considered, all of Disney’s past collection may find its way to the streaming service at one point or another. The question is whether it will all be available at the same time or if Disney will borrow Netflix’s technique of swapping out films and shows monthly. At the very least, Disney plus has released some information as to some of the works that will be available on the first day that the streaming service goes live.
Below you’ll find a list of the classic Disney films and TV shows that will be available from the first day of Disney+ streaming.
