As the hottest parts of summer creep closer, many will likely want to remain inside where the air is cool. Thankfully for Disney+ subscribers, there will be more than enough films of every genre to occupy their time. With everything from comedies to dramas, the streaming service will most definitely be the place to go next month as audiences search for scores of movies worth watching.
With one Disney+ original slated to hit the platform next month, parents should gear up for a fun family movie night. However, family-friendly films aren’t the only movies headed for Disney+ in the coming weeks, especially if you have the Hulu add-on service. The streaming service might be the place to go for children, but that doesn’t mean there isn’t something for everyone, including adults. Whether viewers have kids or don’t, Disney+ has them covered with an array of options in July.
