How to Watch 75 Animated Disney Classics This November Without Disney+

Long before Freeform was Freeform, the cable channel began airing holiday programming in December known as the “25 Days of Christmas”. Years later they added the “31 Nights of Halloween”. But what do you do with the month in between? “The 30 Days of Disney.”

Freeform just announced the lineup of movies for this winter’s 30 Days of Disney. In addition to such favorite live action films such as Mary Poppins, Pirates of the Caribbean and The Parent Trap, the list is crammed full of just about every animated classic by Disney and Pixar from 1937’s Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs to 2023’s Elemental.

This November, you can compare the animated versions to the live action versions of Cinderella, The Little Mermaid, The Lion King, The Jungle Book, 101 Dalmatians and Aladdin. And you’ll find some harder-to-find movies such as Meet the Robinsons, Chicken Little and The Great Mouse Detective.

If you have a Disney+ account, you already have access to most of these (if not all) but if not, here’s your opportunity to see what you’ve missed over the years. Weirdly though, Disney’s second film, Pinocchio, isn’t on the roster and naturally, you won’t find Song of the South on the list either. Fantasia from 1940 is here, Fantasia 2000 is not.

30 Days of Animated Disney This November

This year’s lineup includes 75 animated Disney and Pixar films. They include double features like Finding Nemo and Finding Dory and mini movie marathons like all four Toy Story films. From princesses to Peter Pan, there’s a lot to choose from.

That’s Not All Folks

This year’s cornucopia of movies includes a Pirates of the Caribbean marathon of all five movies on Sunday, November 16 from 9:30 a.m. to well past midnight (fortunately there are commercial breaks), movies that Disney has acquired when it bought 20th Century Fox (like Home Alone and The Princess Bride) and offers an early start into the Christmas season with showings of The Santa Clause and Dr. Seuss’ How the Grinch Stole Christmas.
