Disney has been releasing more and more of its classic animated movies in 4K over the past few years. Some of these releases are timed with new live-action versions of the films, like what we saw with Lilo & Stitch this year, and other remastered favorites are now arriving in glorious Ultra HD simply because audiences are asking for them. If you’re looking to add a few 4K Disney movies to your personal collection (or buy them as a gift for someone this year), I’ve rounded up every one you can buy right now.
Animated Disney Movies Available in 4K
Everything that has gotten the live-action treatment has received a 4K re-release. That includes The Lion King, The Little Mermaid, Lilo & Stitch, Mulan, Beauty and the Beast, Cinderella, Snow White, and Aladdin. Pretty much everything after The Princess and the Frog has also gotten a 4K release as well, so it’s mostly the classics that are missing here. There’s also the latest 4K release, The Emperor’s New Groove, which is getting the treatment for its 25th anniversary.
The most notable exclusion of a 4K re-release, in my opinion, is Tarzan. I still listen to the soundtrack to that movie from time to time and it is just as good as the first time I heard it. Hercules is another suspicious omission, but since a live-action film is on its way in 2027, I’m willing to bet a 4K animated release will follow.
