The Disney+ catalog is best known for its original series, which releases new episodes virtually every week, jumping from production to production every month. However, it does have a good range of films, both animated and live-action, and documentaries that are worth checking out. With that in mind, CinePOP has separated out five productions for you to watch this weekend. Check!
Lilo & Stitch
Let’s start this weekend’s tips with a classic movie that turns 20 next Tuesday (28). Lilo & Stitch is a wonderful animation about a dysfunctional family in Hawaii, whose lives are changed forever when a runaway alien becomes part of their days. The problem is, space agents won’t be satisfied until they find it. So, while Stitch discovers life on Earth, the agents grow suspicious of Lilo and her family.
Tico and Teco: defenders of the law
A recent Disney+ hit, this quirky comedy is a massive satire of Hollywood and Disney itself, which doesn’t take too kindly to its child artists once the hype about them wears off. In the plot, several years after the success of the Tico e Teco series, the chipmunks were unable to keep their careers relevant and ended up following different paths. Now, with a mutual friend missing, they must team up to investigate and try to save him before he gets “hacked”. It’s a really fun mix of animation with live action and a real Easter egg hunt.
Have fun watching:
Double risk
One category that ends up being little explored in the Disney+ catalog is documentaries. Even if not all of them are spectacular, it is possible to find very interesting and different ones. Risco’s Dubble follows stuntman Eddie Braun, who has been in the business for almost 30 years, having survived countless explosions, car crashes and all manner of craziness the profession can bring. Now thinking of retiring with panache, Eddie sets out on a journey to accomplish a feat that only his idol, Evel Knievel, was capable of: jumping Snake River Canyon inside a rocket ship.
sublime love love
One of the best films of 2021 and one of the best works of Steven Spielberg’s glorious career, the new Amor, Sublime Amor is a fantastic work, which ended up being hampered by the pandemic and the protagonist’s personal controversies. Based on the Broadway musical of the same name, which is based on the classic Romeo and Juliet, the film is set in 1950s New York when gangs have taken over the city. In this context, a young woman arrives for an arranged marriage, but she does not really like the blessed one they have chosen for her. At one point, however, she falls madly in love with a boy. The problem is that he is part of a rival gang of his family. Now they will have to fight – and dance – for this forbidden romance.
Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness
This month’s headliner, Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, continues the former Sorcerer Supreme’s saga of protecting his reality while dealing with his personal issues. This time, however, he begins to dream of a teenage boy in danger who travels through dimensions. So when she appears in your reality, the mage will try to protect them from the threats that roam the multiverse, but it may not be so easy, because an old friend has lost control and will greatly complicate this process: the witch. scarlet. . Although it divided fan opinion, the film has wonderful direction from Sam Raimi, who brought his classic horror elements to the MCU.
