12 Best Disney Movies on Hulu Right Now

Disney movies come in various shape and sizes. While you may associate them with just animated films — because of their rich history — the truth is that they have also made several wonderful live action feature films too. But there’s one undeniable qualities about all Disney movies: they are about goodness in humanity. Rarely, if ever, you will find a dark Disney film. Of course, it also goes without saying that there is an inherent filmmaking philosophy that the production house follows and that is to make entertaining family films. Lately, they are trying to be more adventurous and eclectic in their choices, but you are not going to see a dark serial killer film from Disney anytime soon.

With that in mind, I set out to find the best Disney movies that are available on Hulu. With the emergence of online streaming services, nowadays, people prefer watching movies sitting in the comforts of their home. Netflix, of course, has the lion share of eyeballs, but Hulu is not far behind. So, if you are planning to watch a Disney movie, in the comforts of your bed, this list is especially for you. We have all kind of Disney movies on this list: from live action to animation; from romantic to sad. Again, here’s the list of top Disney movies on Hulu.

12. Air Bud (1997)

What do kids love more than a golden retriever? A golden retriever playing basketball might be the answer. Yes, that about sums the movie up for you. I am a sucker for dog centered movies. So, doesn’t matter if it’s a kid movie or not I will watch it if there’s a dog in the lead or even in supporting. Josh Framm is a 12-year-old kid. After the unfortunate death of his father, Josh moves to a new town called Fernfield. Josh feels out-of-place in this new environment and is shy and thus is unable to join the school’s basketball team. Josh likes playing basketball and practices alone in an abandoned court. It is here he first meets Buddy. Buddy is a golden retriever who has run away from his owner. They quickly become friends and Josh finds out that Buddy is talented at playing basketball. He is really good. Josh eventually starts playing in the school team and he and Buddy become the attraction of the half-time. However, to capitalize on Buddy’s fame the dog’s cruel owner comes to take the dog. Will Buddy and Josh be separated?

10. The Mighty Ducks (1992)

The basic structure of ‘The Mighty Ducks’ is a common one. You will see this in lots of inspirational kid movies. Hell, even many mainstream movies are created based on this structure. The main protagonist of the movie is Gordon Bombay (which sounds hilarious to us Indians). He is a lawyer and has been successful in his job. But he is still haunted by his childhood memories from the time when he was in a hockey team which was really successful. Gordon was the star player of his team and had a lot of support and fame. Obviously, this meant that he had lots of responsibilities too. During the final match of his team, Gordon was tasked with scoring the winning goal which he fails to secure.

6. Hercules (1997)

Disney makes really good animated movies. ‘Hercules’ is one such movie. I enjoyed the movie a lot. I love watching films based on Greek Mythology. It is very interesting to see how the creators make these characters their own. The protagonist of the movie is obviously Hercules. He is the son of Zeus but the evil Hades turn Hercules into a demi-god i.e. a half-god and half-mortal. This was done by Hades because he wanted to defeat Zeus and become the king of the gods. Hercules retains his superhuman strength though. He is raised on Earth by humans. Hercules later learns the truth about his divine heritage and superhuman abilities. Zeus tells him that to return to Mount Olympus he needs to become a true hero. Thus, Hercules embarks on a journey to become a hero and is helped by his companions Pegasus and Phil the satyr. He does many courageous and heroic acts on his journey like slaying monsters and even goes on to defeat Hades. But what makes him a true hero is something different than just defeating monsters.
