Encanto

We may not talk about Bruno but we can definitely talk about Encanto, the Disney animated movie revolving around Colombian family, the Madrigals and their charmed home called the Encanto. The story focuses on Mirabel, who is the only person in the family who has not been bestowed a magical gift. Treated like the black sheep of the family, Mirabel is constantly made to feel like an outcast, however, after the magic surrounding the Encanto is threatened, she quickly realises she may be their only hope. You can stream Encanto on Disney+, now.

Cruella

Based on the wickedly evil 101 Dalmatians character, Cruella de Vil, Cruella takes us back in time and provides the backstory of the Disney villain. With Emma Stone at the helm, the film is nothing short of magnificent. From the fashion to the thrilling plot, the movie helps us understand how Estella, a young and clever grifter, turned into Cruella — the woman who chooses to skin puppies for fur coats. Stream it now on Disney+.

The Devil Wears Prada

Florals? For Spring? Groundbreaking. Miranda Priestly, the editor of Runway Magazine, may be a harsh critic but not even she can deny that The Devil Wears Prada is truly groundbreaking. Starring Meryl Streep, Anne Hathaway and Emily Blunt, the movie is considered iconic for a reason. Andy, a young graduate and aspiring journalist, finds herself as an assistant to Priestly, one of the biggest players in the fashion industry. What follows is a life full of glamour, pressure and betrayal — and you can catch all the drama on Disney+.

Avatar

With the second instalment on its way, there is no better time to watch James Cameron’s Avatar than now. Jake (Sam Worthington), who is paraplegic, replaces his twin brother on the Na’vi inhabited Pandora for a corporate mission. As he attempts to convince the natives he’s one of them, he must also decide where his loyalties lie. Watch this blockbuster on Disney+.

Dead Poets Society

Robin Williams has starred in some phenomenal films but Dead Poets Society is considered to be one of his best works. Playing the role of progressive English teacher John Keating, Dead Poets Society is a story about students attempting to break free from the norm and go against the status quo. Stream it now.
