I probably speak for most of us when I say I have had it up to here with news, advertisements, and conversations about coronavirus. What better way to kick back and forget about reality with a good movie? Embrace isolation and immerse yourself in the universe of cinema! If you haven’t already, now is definitely the time to get a Disney+ account because they’ve got an entire Library of Alexandria chock full of movies to stream, and this list is counting down the best Disney+ films to watch during quarantine. While I wouldn’t recommend spending all of that time with eyes glued to the TV, a movie night every so often can be great! In this series, you can find outlines of options on different streaming platforms and recommendations for different shows and movies. This article, per the title, will focus on the newest hot platform, Disney+.
