Top 10 Hidden Gems on Disney Plus

i don't know they weren't exactly singing my phrases when i left the home but i'm gonna change all that welcome to ms mojo and today we're counting down our picks for the top 10 hidden gems on disney plus thanks i still think it's unbelievable that i'm really here [Music] we're different aren't we you have to give me a chance very well for this list we'll be looking at those shows and movies that tend to be overshadowed as part of disney plus's sizable library rather than focusing solely on underrated movies attention will be given to original content lesser known newer shows and hard to track down older series which disney movie deserves more love let us know in the comments number 10 marvel animated 90 shows sorry if you've gone right through my hologram duplicate and hit a high voltage transformer well done or is it medium rare before making it big with live action movies and the mcu marvel enjoyed a fair amount of success on the small screen the x-men and spider-man animated series are fondly remembered but disney plus's catalog extends far beyond just those cartoon classics is your learning curve a flat line or what during the 90s silver surfer the incredible hulk fantastic four and iron man all got animated shows that grew more obscure with each passing year and there was even a series dedicated to the avengers while not masterpieces these cartoons have their charms and they can now be streamed alongside live action series like marvel's runaways what is happening right now i think we're kicking ass number nine the imagineering story when the media continued to criticize the number of unfinished attractions walt responded disneyland will never be completed as long as there's imagination left in the world along with their movies and series disney has been delighting children and adults for decades through their theme parks split into six parts the imagineering story is a tribute to walt disney and the creative minds behind these iconic attractions we took about a year in engineering to develop the structure of these mountains which i want to make clear does not include these giant aluminum poles while the docu-series does touch upon some failures in the company's history the imagineering story is very much a celebration of disney's legacy and brand featuring archival footage and interviews set within the parks this series is a delightful and easy to consume overview of the work that goes into crafting the happiest places on earth because we're curious and curiosity keeps leading us down new paths we're always exploring and experimenting we call it imaginarium number eight diary of a future president it's a day by day account of how i got here hello world or should i say dear diary without an association to established properties like star wars or the mcu new live-action shows on disney plus might struggle to stand out amidst the service's legendary catalog diary of a future president is a well-acted and heartwarming family comedy about elena a girl attending middle school who will eventually become the leader of the free world when dad died i went through all the stages of grief i marked them on a checklist and everything no grief happens whenever there's changes good or bad while diversity is a central theme in the series diary of a future president generally follows elena through her daily life as she deals with common challenges faced by kids on the brink of adolescence diary i was feeling pretty proud and confident and mature you know like a woman [Music] number seven prop culture although they might not get as much attention as other elements in films props have been crucial in crafting disney's image hello old friend oh my all right that's it i've gone pop culture revolves around dan lanigan a passionate collector who is determined to track down props from various disney projects it's not just about finding mary poppins umbrella or examining honey i shrunk the kids inventions as prop culture is at its best when it explores the human element behind every item jack is like two years of my life and a very meaningful two years of my life well i'm meaningful to a lot of people so your time was worthwhile i can't tell you how great that is to hear disney fans interested in learning more about films like the nightmare before christmas and who framed roger rabbit will find a lot to love in prop culture what does it feel like seeing this costume so many years later well i kind of wish i was still wearing it actually number six disney's newsies the broadway [Music] musical 1992's newsies was not exactly disney's biggest success story but the musical really came to life on stage [Music] for those who couldn't see the show in person newsies the broadway musical is the next best thing and does a fantastic job presenting the brilliance of the tony award-winning production filmed in los angeles during the show's united states tour and also featuring cast members from its broadway era newsies is a must for fans of the original movie or musicals in general after newsies encore should be the next in line for a watch [Music] while soy luna launched in 2016 in latin america it wasn't available with english subtitles until disney plus added the show to its collection soy luna takes a somewhat typical disney channel live-action sitcom premise and goes full soap opera a creative choice that ends up paying off big time the story is simple enough luna has to move from mexico to argentina when her parents get offered a new job which means a new school different friends and a shocking backstory soy nuna moves at a good pace and knows how to put together a great song [Music] number four the great mouse detective for years i've tried to capture him and i've come close so very close but each time he's narrowly evaded my grasp 1989's the little mermaid launched the disney renaissance a golden age for the mouse this successful period stood in stark contrast to disney's bronze age leaving films like oliver and company to be consumed by the shadow of the renaissance era [Music] one film that can never receive too much attention is the great mouse detective a charming take on the sherlock holmes mythos with phenomenal animation a captivating storyline and vincent price voicing a villainous rat and even grimmer plot has been simmering in my great criminal brain when it comes time for a re-watch of disney's animated classics make sure to not skip over the great mouse detective thank you dawson smile everyone number three so weird what are you why don't you consult your mirror [Music] some childhood favorites can be a bit difficult to revisit decades later but that is not the case with so weird kremlins often cause machinery to break down small long webbed feet top hats and spats lasting three seasons so weird follows a family on a road trip that happens to involve run-ins with gremlins angels and all sorts of supernatural beings many of which embrace their horror potential so weird uses its stories to explore mature themes like death and anxiety all the while delivering engrossing adventures with a haunting edge this strange series was unlike anything else on the disney channel when it first aired and that remains the case with disney plus we're different aren't we you have to give me a chance very well number two spark shorts this statement might come as a shock but pixar is pretty decent at that whole animation thing thanks i still think it's unbelievable that i'm really here while the studio's feature-length masterpieces need no introduction pixar's shorts are at a higher risk of being overlooked which would be a shame usually lasting around 10 minutes the spark shorts tell stand-alone stories that highlight the unique voices of pixar's many talented creators more pixar is always a good thing and these shorts enable the studio to explore mature situations that usually wouldn't be found in their feature films [Music] the heart pounding kit bull and the touching out are especially wonderful think you might hang it someplace other than your sock drawer once we're in the city i'll hang it right out in the open i promise and if your mom and dad decide to visit that'll never happen happy moving day before we unveil our top pick here are a few honorable mentions high school musical the musical the series because this show is more than just an exercise in nostalgia there are four basic categories the get your head in the frame trivia challenge the bop to you drop dance challenge sync to the status quo lip sync challenge and looking for glee which i thought would be a fun name for the singing challenge because when i was a kid i was obsessed with the show frank and ollie because this documentary shines a light on two animators who helped shape disney the fact that you had animals trying to carry a whole picture we'd never done that and walt wasn't sure that we could do it and a lot of us weren't sure that we could make the picture seven years of work up and down up and down and finally ended with the war we just barely got the thing finished the apple dumpling gang because this forgotten comedy stars don knotts bill bixby and tim conway why didn't you tell me my rear was on fire well you told me not to do anything attract attention okay excuse me into the unknown making frozen two because this is a documentary that even non-fans of frozen can enjoy these guys are each singing individual parts so the reindeer on the right have this audio it's like rapunzel's tangled adventure because rapunzel's story didn't end in 2010 and that is a very good thing [Applause] [Music] [Applause] before we continue be sure to subscribe to our channel and ring the bell to get notified about our latest videos

they weren't exactly singing my phrases when i left home but i'm gonna change all that in the 2000s disney's animated films struggled to reach the heights scene in the 90s maybe the movie that suffered the most from the disney fatigue was treasure planet a commercial flop that still stands to this day as one of the company's most unconventional features a sci-fi retelling of treasure island this 2002 adaptation oozes creativity through its mix of futuristic and traditional iconography who'll be a humble cyborg you argue with a cotton yeah you know these perps they're kind of like the ones back home on montresor you ever been there treasure planet also represents a turning point in disney's legacy as the film mixed hand-drawn animation with cg to groundbreaking and mostly impressive effect disney's library has too many great films to count but treasure planet is one project that does not always get its due do you agree with our picks check out this other recent clip
