New Disney+ movies: every new film to stream in March 2025, including Moana 2
It's been a while since our new Disney+ movies guide was updated. Indeed, almost two months have passed since a new film landed on Disney+.
Thankfully, that barren spell is over – and it'll remain that way until the end of March at the very least. Moana 2 leads a packed (well, packed by Disney+ standards) list of new movies that'll soon debut on one of the world's best streaming services. So, there'll be plenty of new Disney+ movies fare to enjoy in the weeks ahead.
Want even more recommendations? Our best Disney+ movies article is full of other great film suggestions. I'd advise you to bookmark that page for future reference because this certainly won't be the last time that there's a weeks-long drought on the new Disney+ movies front. For now, though, here are all (well, one) of the new films that have recently arrived on the platform.
New Disney Plus movies: March
Moana 2
Release date: March 12
Runtimes: 102 minutes
Age rating: PG (US) / 6+ (UK)
Directors: David G Derrick Jr, Jason Hand, and Dana Ledoux Miller
Main cast: Auli'i Carvalho, Dwayne Johnson, Alan Tudyk, Temeura Morrison, Nicole Scherzinger, and Rose Matafeo
Rotten Tomatoes (RT) score: 61% (critics); 86% (audiences)
It wasn't as well received by critics as its 2016 forebear, but Moana 2 certainly made a big splash at the late 2024 box office. Indeed, per BoxOfficeMojo, it raked in over $1 billion globally. Clearly, there's still an audience for Moana and Maui's continuing adventures on the high seas. Personally, I found it to be a step down from its predecessor, but I can see the appeal of Moana's latest aquatic quest, which sees her reunite with demigod Maui to tackle a new threat three years after the events of the original. So, it's a solid albeit unspectacular sequel, but there's enough here to keep the kids entertained, so it's worth sticking on if you've run out of ways to keep them quiet!
