Cooking shows are usually about flavor, but Foodtastic turns the kitchen into a full-on art studio.

We’re talking massive butter castles, candy dragons, and vegetable spaceships all crafted with jaw-dropping detail. Palmer described the gig as “a dream,” and it shows in her contagious enthusiasm. Just don’t expect to get hungry. This one’s more feast-for-the-eyes than dinner inspiration.
9. Mickey Mouse Clubhouse+
The globe’s most beloved mouse is back, and he’s bringing the retro vibes along with him. Mickey Mouse Clubhouse+ reimagines the Emmy-winning show with a modern twist. New faces such as Little Helper and Duffy the Disney Bear are added to Mickey, Minnie, and Goofy for sing-alongs, puzzling, and bright adventures. Even though it’s technically preschool-targeted, parents and die-hard fans will see lots of charm. Come on, it’s never too old for a “Hot Dog Dance.
8. Phineas and Ferb Revival
Summer break just got a whole lot longer. Phineas and Ferb return for another installment of wacky inventions, brother and sister shenanigans, and, naturally, secret agent platypus sabotage. The revival guarantees more song numbers, more absurd gadgets, and lots of mayhem thanks to Candace and Dr. Doofenshmirtz. It’s nostalgic, smart, and still laugh-out-loud funny, a great reminder of why this duo set the standard for Disney Channel greatness.
7. Bluey: The Movie & Bluey Minisodes
The whole family’s favorite blue heeler clan is coming to the big screen. Bluey: The Movie transports the popular Australian puppies to an action-packed, larger-than-life adventure, with creator Joe Brumm at the helm to direct and original voice cast members reprising their roles. Meanwhile, the Bluey Minisodes are available to stream—small, adorable, emotionally resonant episodes that deliver emotional wallop in under five minutes. Parent or kid at heart, Bluey’s universe is as hilarious, warm, and enormously relatable as ever.
6. Dream Productions (Inside Out Spinoff)
If Inside Out 2 had you hungering for more action in Riley’s head, look no further than Dream Productions. This spinoff gives a mockumentary-style tour of the dream studio that churns out the nightly blockbusters in Riley’s mind. Paula Pell narrates as the frazzled director Paula Persimmon, who’s under threat to come up with the next huge dream hit while engaged in a battle of wits with the rival “daydream” crew. Filled with witty one-liners and Pixar sentiment, it’s a dreamlike, behind-the-scenes comedy for everyone.
5. Win or Lose
Pixar’s first original series, Win or Lose, is a home run emotionally and creatively. The series takes eight characters through the week leading up to their championship softball game, with each episode presenting the same events from a different point of view. From goofy crushes to hyper-participating parents, it’s a mosaic of familiar stories told with Pixar’s inherent warmth. Will Forte narrates the coach, and the animation is full of personality. It’s funny, it’s heartfelt, and it’s very, very human.
4. ZOMBIES 4: Dawn of the Vampires
The ZOMBIES series simply won’t stop, and good on them, too. The fourth installment introduces vampires to the mix and sets Zed and Addison on a summer holiday gone disastrously awry. When a war erupts between Daywalkers and Vampires, our beloved couple joins forces with old pals to maintain the balance before something even darker emerges. Look for wild dance breaks, catchy tunes, and a healthy dose of supernatural teen angst. It’s campy and fabulous, in all the best ways.
3. Lilo & Stitch (Live-Action)
Reach for the tissues. Disney’s classic tale of ‘ohana is being brought back to life. From a script by Kirsten Tranter, the live-action remake will be directed by Dean Fleischer-Camp (Marcel the Shell with Shoes On), with Maia Kealoha as Lilo and Chris Sanders once again voicing Stitch. There’ll be heart, mayhem, and a whole lot of Hawaiian sunshine. It’s one of Disney’s most affectionate reboots, which blends nostalgia and new energy.
2. Elio
Pixar’s new adventure transports viewers to the stars. Elio is the tale of an endearing but ungainly 11-year-old boy who’s inadvertently mistaken for Earth’s representative by an extraterrestrial council. Starring Yonas Kibreab, joined by Zoe Saldaña and Jameela Jamil, Elio’s cosmic misadventure is also hilarious and poignant. Look forward to vivid visuals, eccentric humor, and a heartwarming message about feeling at home, typical Pixar magic all the way.
1. Frozen III (and Possibly IV?)
You knew this was inevitable. The unstoppable Frozen franchise isn’t quite finished thawing hearts yet. Elsa and Anna are back for Frozen III, with Disney hinting at concept art and rumors of Frozen IV in the works. While story details are under wraps, Jennifer Lee, Disney Animation’s Chief Creative Officer, hinted that the next chapter will be “epic in scope and emotional in spirit.” Whether you’re still singing “Let It Go” or trying to get “Into the Unknown” out of your head, the kingdom of Arendelle is calling once again.
And that’s a wrap, the ultimate Disney+ and Hulu family, kids, and anyone who’s ever believed in the magic of storytelling watchlist. From drool-worthy food art to otherworldly adventures and singing monsters, this lineup is the best evidence yet that family entertainment has never been this creative or this entertaining.
