Best New Movies to Watch on Disney Plus April 2020 Last updated on March 28, 2020 by Cooper Smith

As the month of April rolls around the corner, more and more people are signing up for streaming services. People need something to do in this time of quartining ourselves and isolation, and that can be watching Disney Plus. There are a bunch of recently added and soon to arrive additions, from animation to documentaries. Today we've compiled a list of the best movies to watch in April 2020.

Frozen 2

The Frozen sequel got an early release to Disney Plus, and it has only been on the platform for a couple weeks now. Frozen 2 is a phenomenal family film with songs you won't be able to get out of your head for days. A return to Arendelle during such an unpredictable time will bring you on what might be a much-needed, magical ride. Frozen 2 hit theatres in November of 2019, and is on Disney Plus right now.

Elephant

This new documentary comes from Disneynature and focuses on the wild, majestic animals...elephants. We follow an elephant family on their long journey across Africa, and this is all narrated by the Duchess of Sussex, Meghan Markle. The Disney Plus original movie, Elephant, will arrive April 3, 2020.

Pixar's Onward

After Onward struggled at the box office after it's March 6 2020 release date, the film only earned 40 million during its first weekend. That amount of money might not sound unfortunate, but for the cash Pixar movies normally bring in, it underperformed. The coronavirus was keeping people away from theatres, and that did not help Onward. The reviews for it are amazing, though, and all and all it is a well-animated, heartwarming film. A funny fantasy/adventure. Onward will be on the platform way earlier than expected. It starts streaming April 3, 2020.

Dolphin Reef

This is another wildlife-related doc from Disneynature following the tales (haha, get it?) of dolphins. It is all part of the Disney Plus Earth Month celebration. Dolphin Reef apparently "transport us to an underwater wonderland". The whole thing will be narrated by Natalie Portman. Disneynature's Dolphin Reef will arrive the same day as Elephant, April 3, 2020.

Black Panther

Originally released February 2018, only very recently has Black Panther hit Disney Plus. Trust us, you won't regret watching it. Whether you've seen it before, or this is your first time, the movie is an action-packed, gritty, new addition to Disney Plus and is worth your time. One of the highest grossing Marvel Studios' films, this motion picture will take you into the immersive, high tech world of Wakanda. Black Panther is available to watch right now.

Jane Goodall: The Hope

This documentary follows Jane Goodall and what she has learned in her expeditions with apes. It will tell the story of the living legend. Not a lot is known about it yet, but it is almost guaranteed to be well-done. Jane Goodall: The Hope will arrive on Disney Plus April 22, 2020.

Between all of these new movies on Disney Plus, we hope you'll enjoy at least most of them. From part of Disney's Earth Month documentaries like Elephant and Dolphin Reef, or their wide selection of animated films, like Frozen 2 or Onward, there is a lot of content to keep yourself busy during the month of April. It can be hard, being bored and for some people, lonely, but we'll get through this together.
