Some films mark a milestone in the history of cinema, either for their artistic quality, for the originality of the stories they tell or for the emotions that they manage to awaken in the public. Disney+ has one of the largest streaming catalogs, which includes movies from Pixar, Lucasfilm and Marvel, among others, but also many great titles that despite their young age have already gone down in history as classics.
