Disney remains one of the most successful movie studios in history, with a mix of original animated classics and major acquired franchises. Several exciting releases are lined up this year, hoping to pick things up after the slight slip-up of the ‘Showhite’ live action.
Here’s a ranking of Disney’s 2025 films—from the curious to the can’t-miss:
#10. Zootopia 2 – November 26: Over 9 years since the release of the first part, the sequel to this animated city of animals is coming back.
#09. Avatar: Fire and Ash – December 19: About three years since its last installment, The Way of Water, the Avatar world is coming back with more incredible special effects.
#08. Ella McCay – September 19: Details are scarce, but the title suggests a dramatic or character-driven story.
#07. Predator: Badlands – November 7: Yes, Disney owns Predator now. This one’s for the action heads, promising sci-fi chaos and (hopefully) some fresh reinvention.
#06. Tron: Ares – October 10: It’s been over a decade since Tron: Legacy, and fans are hungry. A return to the Grid could be visually stunning.
#05. Thunderbolts – May 2: The MCU’s anti-hero team-up film is coming in hot. Expect action and huge special effects.
#04. The Fantastic Four – July 25: Marvel’s First Family is finally joining the MCU properly. Hype is through the roof for this long-overdue debut.
#03. Freakier Friday – August 8: The iconic body-swap comedy returns with Lindsay Lohan and Jamie Lee Curtis.
#02. Elio – June 20: Pixar’s next big bet follows a boy mistaken for Earth’s ambassador to aliens. Quirky, heartwarming, and likely will get some to tear up!
#01. Lilo & Stitch – May 23: This live-action remake is set to be a summer standout. With Stitch’s chaotic cuteness and a heartfelt story, it’s ready to steal hearts all over again.
