Below, we’re counting down from 10 to 1 exactly as they’re trending. Each pick includes quick-hit details on plot, key cast, creators, and more so you can decide what to press play on next.

10. ‘Coco’ (2017)

Pixar’s ode to family, memory, and music follows Miguel, a young aspiring musician who crosses into the Land of the Dead to uncover his ancestry and return home before sunrise. The voice cast features Anthony Gonzalez, Gael García Bernal, Benjamin Bratt, Alanna Ubach, and more, with direction by Lee Unkrich and co-direction by Adrian Molina.

The screenplay comes from Adrian Molina and Matthew Aldrich, with story by Unkrich, Jason Katz, Aldrich, and Molina; Michael Giacchino composed the score. The film became a major awards winner and box office hit for Pixar and Disney.

9. ‘Casper’ (1995)

This family fantasy comedy centers on friendly ghost Casper and his prank-happy uncles when a paranormal therapist and his daughter move into haunted Whipstaff Manor. Brad Silberling directs, with Christina Ricci and Bill Pullman starring; Cathy Moriarty and Eric Idle co-star, and Malachi Pearson voices Casper, with Devon Sawa appearing briefly as Casper’s human form.

Written by Sherri Stoner and Deanna Oliver and based on the Harvey Comics character, the film was produced by Amblin Entertainment and scored by James Horner. It opened in 1995 and went on to a strong global gross—handy context if you’re revisiting it for the nostalgia.

8. ‘Ratatouille’ (2007)

Set in Paris, this Pixar favorite follows Remy, a rat with chef dreams, who secretly teams with hapless kitchen worker Linguini to create dishes that wow fearsome critic Anton Ego. Brad Bird directed and wrote the screenplay from a story by Jan Pinkava, Jim Capobianco, and Bird; the voice cast includes Patton Oswalt, Lou Romano, Ian Holm, Janeane Garofalo, Brad Garrett, and Peter O’Toole.

Michael Giacchino composed the score, and the production’s evolution is notable—Pinkava originated the concept before Bird took over directing duties, resulting in the final film’s blend of slapstick and culinary craft.

7. ‘The Princess and the Frog’ (2009)

Set in 1920s New Orleans, this animated musical follows Tiana, a hardworking waitress whose dream of owning a restaurant detours into a bayou adventure after a frog prince’s kiss turns her into a frog. Directed by Ron Clements and John Musker, it stars Anika Noni Rose, Bruno Campos, Keith David, Oprah Winfrey, and John Goodman, among others.

Clements and Musker wrote the screenplay with Rob Edwards (story by Clements, Musker, Greg Erb, and Jason Oremland). Randy Newman composed the jazz-inflected songs and score, aligning the music closely with the film’s New Orleans setting.

6. ‘Cleopatra’s Final Secret’ (2025)

This National Geographic special follows lawyer-turned-archaeologist Kathleen Martinez as she pursues new evidence around Taposiris Magna, including a recently documented submerged port that could reshape the search for Cleopatra VII’s burial site. It premiered on Nat Geo on September 25, 2025, and began streaming on Disney+ the next day.

The documentary (directed by Alex Kiehl) features Martinez’s team and collaborators like oceanographer Bob Ballard, with dives and surveys presented in a brisk, feature-length format. Disney+ lists the special at roughly 66–67 minutes and classifies it under documentaries/history.

5. ‘The Incredibles’ (2004)

Pixar’s superhero classic introduces the Parrs—Bob, Helen, Violet, Dash, and baby Jack-Jack—who attempt to live quietly under a superhero ban until a new threat forces the family back into action. Written and directed by Brad Bird, it features voice performances by Craig T. Nelson, Holly Hunter, Samuel L. Jackson, Jason Lee, Sarah Vowell, and more.

Michael Giacchino provided the retro-spy-flavored score on his first Pixar film, complementing the movie’s mid-century aesthetic. The film was produced by Pixar and distributed by Disney, running about 115 minutes theatrically.

4. ‘Incredibles 2’ (2018)

The sequel focuses on Helen/Elastigirl’s return to front-line hero work while Bob/Mr. Incredible manages life at home—right as Jack-Jack’s powers begin to emerge. Brad Bird returned as writer-director; the voice cast includes Craig T. Nelson, Holly Hunter, Sarah Vowell, Huck Milner, and Samuel L. Jackson, with Bob Odenkirk and Catherine Keener as Winston and Evelyn Deavor.

The film continues the series’ blend of family dynamics and superhero spectacle, with Michael Giacchino again composing the score and Pixar/Disney handling production and distribution. It arrived 14 years after the original and quickly became one of Pixar’s top-grossing releases.

3. ‘Thunderbolts*’ (2025)

Marvel Studios’ team-up assembles antiheroes on a dangerous mission that spirals into a larger crisis. Directed by Jake Schreier from a screenplay by Eric Pearson and Joanna Calo (story by Pearson), the ensemble includes Florence Pugh, Sebastian Stan, Wyatt Russell, David Harbour, Hannah John-Kamen, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Olga Kurylenko, Lewis Pullman, and more.

The film premiered in April 2025 and opened in U.S. theaters on May 2; it later released for digital and physical home media in July and started streaming on Disney+ on August 27, 2025. It serves as the final film of the MCU’s Phase Five.

2. ‘Lilo & Stitch’ (2025)

This live-action/CGI reimagining of the 2002 favorite follows lonely Hawaiian kid Lilo and the chaos-courting alien Stitch as they form an unlikely ‘ohana. Dean Fleischer Camp directs; Maia Kealoha stars as Lilo, with Chris Sanders reprising the voice of Stitch. Sydney Agudong appears as Nani, and the cast includes Zach Galifianakis, Billy Magnussen, Hannah Waddingham, Courtney B. Vance, and original cast alum cameos.

Screenplay credits include Chris Kekaniokalani Bright (with additional work reported by Mike Van Waes), and Dan Romer composed the score. Disney began rolling out teasers in early 2025 ahead of the May 23 theatrical release.

1. ‘Elio’ (2025)

Pixar’s sci-fi adventure centers on 11-year-old Elio, who accidentally becomes Earth’s ambassador to a galactic coalition after a misdirected first contact. Voice talent includes Yonas Kibreab in the title role alongside Zoe Saldaña and others. The film premiered in June 2025 and marked Pixar’s latest original after a slate of sequels.

Developed at Pixar with Adrian Molina closely associated with the project and later joined on the directing roster by Domee Shi and Madeline Sharafian (as reported during the run-up to release), the film features a score by Rob Simonsen. It opened theatrically in June 2025 before its eventual streaming window on Disney+.
