Disney Plus is home to many fantastic family films. Those films range in rating from G to R. This list features over 50 different G rated movies on Disney Plus. There are many classic favorites, Pixar movies, and live action films.

And because ratings change and evolve over time, there is a separate list of G rated movies that should be PG. They are bit scary and mature for younger audiences.

Disney Classics

These G rated movies on Disney Plus are part of the Disney animated Classics. These films date back to the 1950’s, so they may contain inappropriate content.

The tale of the Nottingham outlaw that stole from the rich to give to the poor. But this version is a cast of animals.

The classic tale of the Boy Who Never Grew Up. Beware of racially insensitive content regarding Indigenous peoples. (We always skip those parts).

The Aristocats

A cat and her three kittens are the sole inheritors of their wealthy owner’s fortune. The butler develops a plan to get rid of the cats, but other animals help them escape. This film also has racially insensitive content during the “Everybody Wants to Be a Cat” sequence.

The Sword and the Stone

The story of a young King Author who befriends a wizard named Merlin and pulls the sword from the stone.

Alice in Wonderland

Alice goes on a magical journey to a wonderland. There are some references to beheadings and death, but overall it’s a decent movie for kids.

G Rated Movies on Disney Plus That Probably Shouldn’t Be Rated G

The way movies, especially children’s movies, are rated has changed over the years. Many of the movies from the 90’s with G ratings would not receive that rating today. And for good reason! These movies are all fantastic movies, but they should be PG. Especially when movies like Moana and Frozen are PG! Those are WAY less scary and perilous than some of the movies listed below.

Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs

The classic tale of the princess that befriends seven dwarfs while fleeing her evil stepmother. A movie with a parental figure trying to kill their child is definitely not for littles.

Princess and the Frog

This movie is phenomenal! And Tiana is an inspirational princess. However, Dr. Faciliar and his friends “on the other side” is frightening.

Tarzan

One of the best soundtracks of all time! Tarzan is a fantastic movie. But it literally shows the shadow of an evil man that accidentally hangs himself. And dead bloody bodies. Not a G movie.

Hercules

Another amazing movie with a killer soundtrack. But more visuals of hell and hell beasts are scary for littles.

Sleeping Beauty

This Disney classic is a beautiful telling of Princess Aurora. But Maleficent is a super scary villain! My kids were not ready for this movie until they were a bit older!

The Rescuers

Any movie that involves kidnapping should probably be rated PG.

The Rescuers Down Under

This was one of my favorite movies as a kid. But it has more kidnapping. Also the villain chases a kid around with a gun. How is that G?!

Bambi

A slower paced story about nature. But the death of parents makes it a hard movie for little ones.

Dumbo

The traumatizing scenes with Dumbo’s mother and the racist depictions in the movie definitely make it for older audiences.

Pinocchio

Any movie that shows children drinking and smoking cigars is definitely not a G movie.

Oliver and Company

Why did so many movies show adults trying to murder children?! I loved this movie but it’s a lot to unpack as an adult.

A Goofy Movie

I recently turned this movie on for my kids. But I ended up turning it off. The adults kept talking about Max going to prison and ending up in the electric chair. It was jarring and scary for the kids.

Brother Bear

This movie depicts the intense deaths of humans and bears at each other’s hands. It has a lovely message, but is a little too intense for a G rating.

The Hunchback of Notre Dame

This is such a beautiful movie! But the character of Frollo and his treatment of Esmerelda is too mature for small children.

The Emperor’s New Groove

The bullying language, constant talk of murder, and a few perilous moments push this into PG territory.

The Great Mouse Detective

A fun and brilliant Sherlock Holmes retelling with mice. It is a very underrated Disney Classic. But the villain is so scary for little kids.

The Fox and the Hound

Raise your hand if you were traumatized by this movie as a child. The forest scene still makes me cry. It has several intense moments that make it a bit too much for little kids.

Anastasia

This movie is the greatest non-Disney princess movie. But Rasputent is terrifying. Especially when he calls forth demons to capture Anastasia.

More Animated G Rated Movies on Disney Plus

Pooh Bear is so precious! The slower paced movies are perfect for younger audiences.

Tinkerbell

The Tinkerbell movies are my favorites for small children! They are mildly perilous, but have such important messages too. They introduce Tinkerbell and her fairy friends in Pixie Hollow.

This movie. It’s sad, beautiful, exciting, and just a great movie. Two dogs and a cat journey across the country to reunite with their people. Some parts may be upsetting for little viewers.

Cars is an exciting franchise starring talking cars. Kids love these movies! Just be prepared for some bullying language and a use of the word “hell.”
