Good Family Movies on Disney+ Right Now (September 18, 2026)

Disney+ actually shipped a new theatrical this month: The Mandalorian and Grogu arrived September 2 with a LEGO companion special. Toy Story 5 is five days out. The rest of the family shelf is the catalog you already pay for — Pixar, Marvel kids, Clone Wars.

Updated September 18, 2026.

Newly added — start here

Play tonight

LEGO Star Wars: The Mandalorian (2026)

TV-Y7 · Added September 2 · Best for 5–10

The brick special that landed with the movie. Recasts a lot of the live-action beats as slapstick. Pedro Pascal is not Din here — it’s a LEGO voice cast — which is the point. This is the Grogu watch if live Mandalorian still feels like a Western.

Watch for

  • Cartoon blasters and comic falls
  • Cameos of characters who die in the show, played for gags

Preview first

The Mandalorian and Grogu (2026)

PG · Added September 2 · Best for 8+

The May theatrical, now on the service that made the show. Same rules as the series: bounty-hunter violence, Grogu in danger, a Hutt plot. Cute baby, not a baby movie. If they watch The Mandalorian already, this is the obvious Friday night.

Watch for

  • Shootouts and creature attacks
  • Grogu in peril (the emotional hook)
  • Fantasy violence at a PG, not G, level

Already on — we rated these

Already on

Star Wars: The Clone Wars

133 episodes we rated: 90% mild. Better weeknight TV than putting on Revenge of the Sith because the movie is ‘the one with the clones.’

On the service, not for family night

Coming later this month

September 23

Toy Story 5

Woody, Buzz, Jessie vs. new tech in Bonnie’s house. The actual family event of the month. We’ll refresh this page when it lands.

Catalog is US Disney+ as of September 18, 2026. Titles move by country and can vanish without notice. Informal parent guidance — not an official ratings board. Your kids — your rules.

Common questions

Is The Mandalorian and Grogu okay for young kids?

If they already watch the show, probably. It is PG space-western violence, not a preschool Grogu cartoon. Use the LEGO special for under-8s.

When is Toy Story 5 on Disney+?
