Fun Educational Movies on Disney+

If you are looking for Fun educational movies for Kids one of my favorite places to find them is Disney Plus (Disney+). The Fun Educational Movies on Disney+ are awesome because the kids don’t even realize they are watching something educational!

Educational Movies on Disney+

I love Disney+ (Disney Plus). All of the old school Disney movies, all the new Disney Movies (like the new addition of Frozen 2!) and I love the documentaries. Honestly, I could watch the documentaries all day long because there are so many good ones but not all of my kids are into watching as many documentaries as I am.

I know there are also some kids who will cringe at the idea of even watching a documentary. As soon as they hear that word they shut off to the idea of watching it. So I encourage you to also check out the documentaries on Disney Plus however this list I am focusing on the movies that are educational on Disney Plus, that the kids will not even realize are educational.
