These Disney Movies Are Coming to Netflix in 2019
Disney movies have it all. They make you laugh, cry, and entertain all at once. The older movies can take you back in time to when they were first released and you saw the magic unfold on the big screen, while newer flicks show sure signs of a classic in the making. Lucky for us, 28 Disney films have hit Netflix's lineup this year—and these movies are available to stream now! Grab a bowl of popcorn and settle in for a family movie night that's the perfect start to 2019.
Disney is launching their own streaming service called Disney+, so you can expect these titles to disappear from Netflix at the end of 2019. Disney hasn't set a concrete launch date for their service, but once it launches, all new Disney movies and most existing Disney movies will only be available on Disney+—so if you want to watch these movies on Netflix, work through this list before the end of the year!
