New Disney Plus movies: every new film to stream in November 2024
New Disney Plus movies have arrived more frequently over the past couple of months. Admittedly, some of the new movies that have been released on Disney Plus since early October have been docufilms, but hey, they all count.
Anyway, what’s new this weekend (November 23-24) on one of the world’s best streaming services? Out Of My Mind, a drama based on Sharon M. Draper’s novel of the same name. You’ll need to read on to learn more about this Disney Plus Original but, if it doesn’t sound like the type of film you’ll enjoy, there are other recommendations in this guide and in our best Disney Plus movies guide that are worth checking out, too. So, hop to it!

Based on Sharon M. Draper’s bestselling novel of the same name, Out Of My Mind stars Phoebe Rae-Taylor as Melody Brooks, a sixth grader with cerebral palsy who, because she’s non-verbal and uses a wheelchair, isn’t given the same opportunities as her classmates. However, when a young tutor recognizes Melody’s untapped potential, this quick-witted and bright pupil is given a platform to fully express herself. I’m going to admit that Out Of My Mind wasn’t on my radar until recently, but its powerful message and themes, coupled with its superb cast performances, suggest it may be one of those rare Disney Plus Movie Originals that’s actually worth watching.

Age rating: R (US) / 18 (UK)

I’m going to be completely honest: I love Deadpool and Wolverine. I know some people thought it was too chaotic for its own good, while others called the Marvel Phase 5 flick a mere cash grab with a piecemeal plot. While I can understand those sentiments, neither of those negatives detracted from me having an absolute blast when I watched the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) movie during an advanced press screening in mid-July. It’s hilarious, poignant, action-packed, and brilliantly gory. The sheer volume of cameos in Deadpool and Wolverine is something to behold, too. Before you spoil its biggest character surprises and/or ruin Deadpool and Wolverine‘s ending for yourself ahead of time, read my Deadpool and Wolverine review, stream it, and then get the spoiler-filled lowdown on The Merc with a Mouth and his adamantium-clawed bestie’s multiversal adventure.
Music By Jon Williams
Release date: November 1
Runtime: 105 minutes
Age rating: PG (US) / 12A (UK)
Director: Laurent Bouzereau
Cast: John Williams, Steven Spielberg, Ron Howard, J.J. Abrams, George Lucas, Kathleen Kennedy, and James Mangold among others
Rotten Tomatoes (RT) score: 100% (critics); 97% (audiences)
Tom Power
John Williams’ music is synonymous with so many film franchises and standalone movies that I’ve seen throughout my life. Star Wars, Indiana Jones, Superman: The Movie, Jaws, Schindler’s List, E.T, Jurassic Park… the list goes on and on. The arrival of this docufilm celebrating the life and works of the legendary composer, then, is one I can’t afford to miss – and I implore any film buff, regardless of whether they enjoy Williams’ scores or not, to check it out, because it’s full of unheard stories and anecdotal information about the famous US musician that’ll endear him further to, well, anyone. A long overdue and worthy documentary to one of the best there’s ever been – and ever will be.
New Disney Plus movies: October
Road Diary: Bruce Springsteen and E Street Band
Release date: October 25 (available on Hulu in the US)
Runtime: 99 minutes
Age rating: TV-MA (US) / 16-plus (UK)
Director: Thom Zimmy
Cast: Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band
RT score: 89% (critics); N/A (audiences)
Tom Power
I wouldn’t say I’m the biggest Bruce Springsteen fan but, as someone who appreciates his music – thanks to my parents, I grew up listening to his biggest hits – Road Diary appeals to me in some form. For Springsteen diehards, though, it’s a must watch documentary, which offers the most in-depth, behind-the-scenes look at the creation of The Boss and his E Street Band’s legendary live performances. Don’t be shocked if you find yourself singing along whenever they perform one of their classic tracks and, perhaps more interestingly, don’t be surprised if you learn a thing or two about the iconic US rock star and his group across its 99-minute runtime.
