Everything New on Disney+ in August 2025

BBG News

In August, Disney+ won’t have as many offerings as some other months, but there are two exciting additions to look forward to in the Marvel universe. For younger viewers, a brand new animated series titled “Iron Man and His Awesome Friends” is coming, boasting the same animation style as the beloved “Spider-Man and His Amazing Friends “series. On the other hand, older fans can enjoy a miniseries called “Eyes of Wakanda“, which takes place within the Marvel Cinematic Universe. This series introduces new Wakandan heroes and is executive produced by the director of Black Panther , Ryan Coogler.

Additionally, you’ll find a fresh National Geographic series featuring Chris Hemsworth, the latest season of The Proud Family titled “Louder and Prouder,” and brand-new episodes of Project Runway airing weekly.

Great Disney+ Movies You Might Have Missed

The Three Caballeros (1944)

While not among Disney’s most renowned early animations, “The Three Caballeros” serves as an intriguing chapter in the company’s past. The film is constructed around a series of shorts celebrating Donald Duck’s 10th anniversary, featuring captivating hand-drawn artwork, catchy tunes, and one of the earliest examples of combined live-action and animation. The characters of The Three Caballeros – Donald, Jose Carioca, and Panchito Pistoles – have persisted for decades. They continue to be celebrated with their own ride at Epcot and recently debuted a new TV series titled “Legend of the Three Caballeros“.

Oklahoma! (1955)

Although Disney has a rich history and owns the 20th Century Fox film library, there aren’t many older movies on Disney+ besides their classic animated films and mostly forgettable live-action comedies. However, one exception is “Oklahoma!”, the 1955 movie adaptation of Rogers and Hammerstein’s renowned Broadway musical. Apart from its timeless tunes like “Oh What a Beautiful Mornin'” and a talented cast, this film features some of the earliest 70mm widescreen cinematography. This gives “Oklahoma!” an epic scope fitting for its frontier backdrop.

Rookie of the Year (1993)

Despite many ’90s childhood classics losing their charm, “Rookie of the Year” remains enjoyable for kids. This is evident in my own children’s reactions, who may not be well-versed in baseball but are captivated by this comedy. The story revolves around a 12-year-old boy (Thomas Ian Nicholas) who, in a freak accident, breaks his shoulder and later discovers he can now throw as fast as a professional ballplayer. This discovery leads to him being recruited by his beloved Chicago Cubs, helping the team transform from hapless losers to unexpected victors. Though it follows sports movie tropes, the humor and clever casting, including Gary Busey’s unconventional portrayal of the gruff romantic lead, make it a delightful watch.

George of the Jungle (1997)

If you’ve got kids who enjoy slapstick humor or if you’re a kid at heart who loves it, consider watching “George of the Jungle”. This delightfully cheerful remake of the classic cartoon shares the same name is filled with sweet, silly fun. Brendan Fraser plays George, a man raised in the jungle by intelligent animals, and he brings his boyish charm (and impressive physique) to the role. Fraser was one of the few ’90s stars whose abs were as defined as his humor, and “George of the Jungle” makes excellent use of both.

Sky High (2005)

Prior to Disney acquiring Marvel, they attempted to establish their own comic book universe through “Sky High”, a concept reminiscent of both “X-Men” and “Harry Potter”. This series revolves around a high school for budding superhumans, where students are categorized into heroes (representing jocks) and sidekicks (similar to nerds). The series subtly mirrors real-life societal hierarchies with a touch of wit. “Sky High” is backed by a generous amount of heart and a strong ensemble cast featuring Kurt Russell, Lynda Carter, Cloris Leachman, and Bruce Campbell. Despite not earning enough to warrant a sequel, the quality of “Sky High” matches that of any Marvel movies available on Disney+.

Dan in Real Life (2007)

I must confess, my fondness for this movie might stem from the fact that it’s set in Rhode Island, a place where many of my relatives reside. Yet, my appreciation extends beyond the locale. It lies in its compelling narrative about a widower, portrayed subtly by Steve Carell, who encounters a potential new love interest. However, there’s a complication: She (Juliette Binoche) is dating his brother (Dane Cook). Despite the straightforward plot, the movie radiates understanding for its characters and refrains from being overly sentimental. This isn’t a film suitable for all audiences – it wouldn’t hold the interest of younger viewers – but if you’re looking to make more of your streaming subscription when the kids aren’t around, consider giving Dan in Real Life a chance.

Walt & El Grupo (2008)

If you’re curious about the origins of Disney’s movies like “The Three Caballeros” and “Saludos Amigos”, I recommend watching the documentary “Walt & El Grupo”. This film tells the story of a journey taken by Walt Disney and his creative team, known as “El Grupo”, during a goodwill tour on behalf of President Roosevelt in the early 1940s. Whether you’re a fan or not of Disney, the company has significantly shaped popular culture over the past century. “Walt & El Grupo” offers a unique glimpse into how Disney expanded its global influence. The documentary features captivating archival footage from Walt’s trip and sheds light on how his experiences inspired the creation of “Saludos Amigos” and “The Three Caballeros”.

Jordan Rides the Bus (2010)

In 2009, ESPN initiated a collection of 30 documentaries that narrated stories from the first 30 years of their sports network. This project was so successful that it continued even beyond its 30th anniversary, and now, a selection of high-quality sports documentaries under the series called “30 For 30” can be found on Disney+. Some of these include “I Hate Christian Laettner” about the renowned college basketball player, “Kings Ransom” detailing Wayne Gretzky’s move from Edmonton Oilers to Los Angeles Kings, and “Bad Boys,” focusing on the Detroit Pistons teams of the 1980s and ’90s.

If you’re interested in starting with one, I recommend “Jordan Rides the Bus.” This documentary explores Michael Jordan’s ambitious endeavor to shift from basketball to football. Ron Shelton, known for his iconic sports films like “Bull Durham” and “White Men Can Jump,” directed this intriguing piece. His perspective as a filmmaker and a sports enthusiast adds depth to the subject matter.

Cars 3 (2017)

Even though some might think twice about continuing with the Cars franchise after its gloomy second installment, if you missed out on Cars 3, you likely overlooked what could be considered the best film in the entire series. This movie sees Lightning McQueen (portrayed by Owen Wison) grappling with the impending end of his racing career and confronting his own mortality. Admittedly, it’s unusual to consider a car as old, but then again, everything in Cars movies is peculiar; this one simply delves deeper into its themes with more thoughtfulness and creativity.

The Kid Who Would Be King (2019)

It seems audiences frequently complain about the scarcity of fresh blockbusters, yet when one does emerge, it’s often overlooked. Take, for instance, “The Kid Who Would Be King,” a clever reimagining of Arthurian mythology, directed by Joe Cornish, known for his cult classic “Attack the Block.” Unsurprisingly, many people didn’t go to see it in theaters. (Admittedly, I also missed it until I watched it on a plane and instantly fell in love with it.) “The Kid Who Would Be King” is an unsung gem, waiting to be discovered in Disney+’s collection.
