Everything New on Disney+ in June 2025

BBG News

Over the past year or two, Disney has been quite open about its evolving approach towards streaming services. Initially, when Disney+ was launched, the company heavily invested in creating films and shows specifically for streaming. However, recently, they have publicly mentioned a significant shift in strategy, planning to prioritize content that premieres in cinemas initially, followed by a move to streaming platforms.

It’s quite obvious that there’s a fresh update every month as Disney reveals the latest additions to Disney+. However, I must admit that recently, the amount of new content hasn’t been as substantial as it used to be, particularly when you compare it to what was available a couple of years back.

In June 2025, we can look forward to a new Marvel series titled Ironheart, featuring a young armored hero introduced in Black Panther: Wakanda Forever. Additionally, there’s a fresh season of the animated series Phineas and Ferb. A filmed version of the Frozen Broadway musical is also on the way, along with documentaries about oceans and astronaut Sally Ride. These are the main new additions for the month. If you’re a Hulu subscriber, you’ll also enjoy a brand-new animated Predator film and Season 4 of the popular series The Bear.

The Most Underrated Disney Movies Of The Last 25 Years

1. Hercules (1997)

Instead of finding influence in a timeless fairy tale, the animated film “Hercules” is derived from Greek mythology, albeit with numerous artistic liberties taken. The conventional Greek chorus has been swapped for an engaging all-female gospel choir, and Hades, the God of the Underworld, is portrayed as a witty, sassy character voiced by James Woods. The music is catchy, the humor appeals to both children and adults, and the lively animation style reflects the charm of Disney’s Renaissance period. Yet, it remains one of their lesser-discussed animated films from the ’90s. Could this be because of its more lighthearted tone compared to the gravity of “The Hunchback of Notre Dame” and the might of “The Lion King”? It may have been unable to leave as lasting an impression.

2. A Bug’s Life (1998)

Reflecting on Pixar’s early days, it’s hard not to think of “Toy Story” as the iconic debut film. However, Pixar’s second feature-length production, “A Bug’s Life,” is equally worthy of praise. While “Toy Story” beautifully explores themes of unity and love among diverse toys, “A Bug’s Life” delves into deeper metaphors. At its heart, it’s a tale about colonization: the ants live in a colony ruled by exploitative and greedy grasshoppers. The character Flik (Dave Foley) attempts to free his ant companions from oppression using his inventions. Notably, “A Bug’s Life” competed with DreamWorks’ “Antz,” released in the same year, which might explain why it sometimes feels like the overlooked sibling in the Disney/Pixar family.

3. The Emperor’s New Groove (2000)

Kicking off the new millennium, Disney offered one of its most peculiar productions yet – “The Emperor’s New Groove.” Featuring stellar voice acting from David Spade as the arrogant, irritating Emperor Kuzco and John Goodman as his unlikely travel companion, the humble villager Pacha, “The Emperor’s New Groove” skillfully conveys a heartfelt tale without veering into excessive sentimentality. The dialogue is sharp, the jokes are quick, and the overall tone is delightfully sarcastic, not to mention, Kronk is present. Somehow, Yzma’s bumbling henchman Kronk (Patrick Warburton) steals almost every scene he appears in. Released post-Disney’s Renaissance era, which produced timeless classics like “The Little Mermaid,” “Beauty and the Beast,” and “Aladdin” between 1989 and 1999, this film was never meant to surpass those high standards. However, it is truly remarkable and deserves a watch.

In the early years of the new century, Disney presented one of its quirkiest creations – “The Emperor’s New Groove.” With impressive voice acting from David Spade as the obnoxious Emperor Kuzco and John Goodman as his unexpected travel partner, the simple villager Pacha, “The Emperor’s New Groove” tells a touching story without becoming overly sentimental. The dialogue is clever, the jokes are swift, and the tone is humorously cynical, not forgetting Kronk. Somehow, Yzma’s clumsy henchman Kronk (Patrick Warburton) manages to dominate almost every scene he’s in. Released after Disney’s Renaissance period, which ran from 1989 to 1999 and produced hit films like “The Little Mermaid,” “Beauty and the Beast,” and “Aladdin,” this film was never meant to match those standards. Yet, it is extraordinary, and it deserves to be watched.

4. Treasure Planet (2002)

Regardless of being a box office flop, “Treasure Planet” was a groundbreaking achievement for Disney at the time of its release. It combined traditional hand-drawn artistry with computer animation, resulting in a distinctive visual aesthetic that required considerable resources and effort. To this day, it remains one of the priciest 2D animated films ever made. Joseph Gordon-Levitt lends his voice to Jim Hawkins in this cosmic reinterpretation of Robert Louis Stevenson’s “Treasure Island,” which transports us on a journey through the galaxy aboard the RLS “Legacy.” Since its debut, “Treasure Planet” has amassed a dedicated fanbase. Those who haven’t seen it yet are encouraged to give it a watch.

5. Enchanted (2007)

In a refreshing take on traditional Disney films, “Enchanted” initially appears as yet another visually stunning animated production. However, an unexpected plot turn finds the naive and innocent character Giselle (played by Amy Adams), finding herself in the midst of New York City’s Times Square, where she doesn’t quite belong due to her ability to communicate with animals and sudden bursts into song. Despite the unfamiliar surroundings, she eventually discovers her path to a different kind of happily ever after. The film, from its flawless acting to its catchy tunes, delicately pokes fun at Disney movie tropes without undermining them. Above all, “Enchanted” maintains a strong belief in the existence of true love, suggesting it can be found if one knows where to look. It’s been 15 years since this charming movie was released, but it’s high time for its sequel – it’s simply too delightful!

6. Bolt (2008)

The unique aspect of the film “Bolt” is that it seems more like a production from DreamWorks in the late 2000s rather than a typical Disney movie. However, despite its distinct feel, it’s still an excellent film. John Travolta lends his voice to Bolt, a White German Shepherd character who unknowingly uses superpowers that are actually staged for TV cameras. He embarks on a quest to find his owner Penny (Miley Cyrus), blending elements of “Homeward Bound” and “Toy Story”. One possible reason why “Bolt” isn’t as widely discussed as other Disney movies could be due to the lack of music. While this might work well for Pixar films, it doesn’t fit with “Bolt”. Despite this, there is plenty to admire in this movie, including a touching and heartwarming finale.

7. Tinker Bell (2008)

Disney and Pixar often expand on their supporting characters’ backstories, such as Monsters University, Finding Dory, and Lightyear. However, before this trend began, there was Tinker Bell – a delightful straight-to-DVD movie that is often overlooked. It takes us to the early days of Peter Pan’s companion, who is born in a magical place adjacent to Neverland called Pixie Hollow. We follow Tink (voiced by Mae Whitman) as she discovers her knack for tinkering and makes friends with other fairies, voiced by a talented cast including Raven-Symoné, Kristin Chenoweth, and Lucy Liu. Unlike her previous 2D animated versions, this movie is the first to feature Tinker Bell in CGI. Although many Disney fans may favor Peter Pan, the Tinker Bell franchise deserves more recognition than it currently receives.

8. The Princess and the Frog (2009)

The movie “The Princess and the Frog” is highly appreciated, but it deserves more acclaim than it receives. It distinguishes itself in the 21st century by opting for traditional 2D animation instead of computer-generated techniques, a choice that harks back to classic Disney animations. Not only is the animation visually stunning, but it’s beautifully accompanied by a superior soundtrack of songs blending bluegrass and Broadway-style tunes. Unlike many other Disney princesses, Tiana (Anika Noni Rose) doesn’t aspire for love; her dream is to own a restaurant in New Orleans. However, her plans are disrupted when she transforms into a frog after kissing the self-absorbed Prince Naveen (Bruno Campos). Throughout the movie, both Tiana and Prince Naveen experience significant personal growth, which is uncommon among Disney characters. It’s worth noting that “The Princess and the Frog” was released in the same year as Pixar’s masterpiece “Up,” which might explain why it didn’t receive the recognition it deserved.

9. Tangled (2010)

While it’s undeniable that Frozen has found favor among Disney fans, we argue that Tangled, unfortunately, is more underappreciated than it deserves – particularly when compared to Frozen. The classic Disney formula is perfectly encapsulated in Tangled. With Rapunzel (Mandy Moore) as our headstrong-yet-naive heroine, Flynn Rider (Zachary Levi) as her roguish love interest, and Mother Gothel (Donna Murphy) as the villainous antagonist, the film delivers stunning animation, catchy tunes, and a compelling narrative. However, when Frozen hit screens in 2013, it seemed as though Tangled was eclipsed. Many of the aspects that garnered acclaim for Frozen were actually pioneered by Tangled. If Frozen had never been made, it’s possible that Tangled would have held its place as the most universally beloved Disney film.

10. Brave (2012)

2012 marked my introduction to Pixar’s groundbreaking film, “Brave,” which dared to present a female lead character for the first time. Although it clinched the Academy Award for Best Animated Feature, it didn’t resonate with Disney enthusiasts as deeply as other Pixar productions or traditional princess-centric stories. This could be due to its introspective narrative, which unfolds on a more personal level compared to films like “Monsters Inc.”

In “Brave,” the real conflict isn’t between Merida (Kelly Macdonald) and the menacing bear Mor’du, but her relationship with her mother, Queen Elinor (Emma Thompson). The film’s supernatural elements take a backseat to its deeply relatable storyline for many viewers. Interestingly, it’s uncommon to find young girls who idolize Merida as their favorite princess, despite her challenging the stereotypes of Disney heroines in terms of appearance and behavior. The release of “Frozen” the following year seemed to dim the spark of enthusiasm for “Brave.
