I don’t know about you, but nothing lifts my spirits like a good movie musical. There’s just something about singing at the top of my lungs that brings me instant joy. Thankfully, Disney+ has me covered, with an abundance of titles on their streaming service. From award-winning musicals like The Sound of Music and Mary Poppins to Disney classics like Beauty and the Beast and The Lion King, there are so many options to choose from. There are even Disney Channel original movies like High School Musical and Camp Rock for that extra dose of nostalgia. Plus, Broadway’s Hamilton is now streaming on Disney+. If you’re looking for a feel-good movie to stream as you stay at home, keep scrolling for titles to add to your watchlist.
