If you’re hunkering down at home with the family during this holiday break, why not plan a family movie night? Whether your family is in the mood for the retelling of a classic fairy tale, a new young adult novel, a nostalgic children’s book, or a favorite novel, there are several choices on Disney+.

Fairy Tale Adaptations

Beauty and the Beast

Based on the 1756 French fairy tale of the same name, this 1991 animated adaptation focuses on the evolution of Belle and the Beast’s relationship. In the movie, an enchantress transforms a prince into “the Beast” and places a curse on his castle to punish him for his arrogance. To break the enchantments, the Beast must fall in love with Belle and earn her love before the last petal falls from a magic rose.

If you prefer live-action musicals, you can also watch the 2017 adaptation on Disney+, which features Emma Watson as Belle and Dan Stevens as the Beast.

The Princess and the Frog

Inspired by “The Frog Prince; or, Iron Henry,” this animated musical follows Tiana, an industrious waitress who pursues her dream of running her own restaurant. Her plans are interrupted when she kisses a cursed frog prince and is transformed into a frog. Throughout the movie, she works with the frog prince to find a way to turn back into a human so she can open up her restaurant.

Tangled

Loosely based on the Brothers Grimm’s “Rapunzel,” this movie captures the life of Princess Rapunzel, who is trapped in an isolated tower and dreams of escaping her home. (In a year of isolation and social distancing, who couldn’t relate?) When a thief named Flynn Rider discovers the tower, Rapunzel demands that Flynn help her escape to see a floating lantern festival for her birthday.

Cinderella

This animated musical film—based on Charles Perrault’s fairy tale of the same name—helped save Walt Disney Productions from financial ruin in 1950. The classic film tells the story of a young woman named Cinderella, who works as a maid for her cruel stepmother and her two stepsisters, Drizella and Anastasia. Her bad fortune reverses when her fairy godmother appears and insists that she go to a royal ball where she immediately captures the heart of the young prince.

Young Adult Novel Adaptations

The Princess Diaries

This coming-of-age teen comedy is based on Meg Cabot’s 2000 novel of the same name. The movie stars Anne Hathaway as Mia, a young American who recently discovered she is heir to the throne of Genovia, and Julie Andrews, her estranged grandmother and the kingdom’s reigning queen. Between the everyday dramas of high school, Mia must decide whether to accept her inherited title or renounce her claim to the throne.

The Fault in Our Stars

The Fault in Our Stars follows teenage Hazel Grace Lancaster, a thyroid cancer patient who catches the eye of Augustus Waters during a support group meeting. The two fall in love as they bond over hobbies, read each other’s favorite books, and eventually use the Make-A-Wish Foundation to help them travel to Amsterdam and track down Hazel’s favorite author. The film is based on John Green’s popular young adult novel of the same name.

Children’s Literature Adaptations

The Jungle Book

Based on Rudyard Kipling’s book, this musical comedy is the last film Walt Disney produced. In the movie, a child named Mowgli is raised in the jungle by a pack of wolves. He befriends a panther named Bagheera and a bear named Baloo who warn him of an evil man-eating tiger named Shere Khan. You can also watch the 2016 live-action remake of this movie on Disney+.

Diary of a Wimpy Kid

Inspired by Jeff Kinney’s book, this movie is the first installment of a four-part series. The film follows 11-year-old Greg Heffley’s adventures through the ups and downs of middle school. Greg dreams of being the most popular kid in school, but he runs into obstacle after obstacle, including teenage bullies, accidental car damages, and humiliation during the school’s production of The Wizard of Oz.

Percy Jackson & the Olympians: The Lightning Thief

Inspired by Rick Riordan’s fantasy series, the movie centers around Poseidon’s 16-year-old demigod son named Percy. Zeus has accused a clueless Percy of stealing his master lightning bolt and threatens to wage a war between the gods if his bolt is not returned to him. Percy must team up with his demigod friends from Camp Half-Blood to fight off a number of antagonists and uncover the missing lightning bolt before the gods descend into war.

Novel Adaptations

Hunchback of Notre Dame

One of Disney’s darkest animated films, The Hunchback of Notre Dame follows a deformed bell-ringer named Quasimodo who desperately wants to fit in with society. The story explores themes including infanticide, lust, sin, love, and prejudice and is based on Victor Hugo’s 1831 French gothic novel of the same name. If you’re a true Victor Hugo fan, we’ll warn you that some critique the creative liberties Disney took to make this story more age-appropriate, saying the movie would be enough to make Victor Hugo roll over in his grave.

The Princess Bride

This film adaptation perfectly captures the humorous narrative style of William Golding’s 1973 novel of the same name. The movie introduces a wild cast of unique and memorable characters including a humble farmhand named Westley, his true love Princess Buttercup, a villainous Prince Humperdink, a clever Sicilian outlaw, and a vengeful fencing master named Inigo Montoya, among others. Throughout the story, Westley encounters a fire swamp, a brush with death at the top of the Cliffs of Insanity, rodents of unusual size (ROUSes), and more in his attempts to save his true love from Prince Humperdink.
