Binge-watch these 10 Disney Plus Princess movies for some easy serotonin:

Little Mermaid II: Return to the Sea (2000)

This movie is set about one year after the end of the first one. Ariel (Jodi Benson) has given birth to Melody (Tara Charendoff), her daughter with, of course, Prince Eric. Ariel and Eric (Rob Paulsen) then set sail to introduce their daughter to Ariel’s family. The celebrations come to a halt as Morgana (Pat Carroll), Ursula's sister, comes to exact revenge for her sister's passing. Which then leads to the couple keeping their daughter away from the sea—a challenge for someone like Melody.

Cinderella II: Dreams Come True (2002)

This anthology type tale follows Gus (Corey Burton) and Jaq (Rob Paulsen), two of Cinderella's (Jennifer Hale) mice friends, as they create a new book that would weave together three short stories to tell what happened after the Happily Ever After. Watch as these two characters get into little adventures that peek at Cinderella’s new life in the palace.

Mulan II (2004)

Finally, Mulan (Ming-Na Wen, singing voice Lea Salonga) and Shang (BD Wong) are engaged! The celebrations are cut short though when they are once again called by duty. This time, the couple is tasked to protect the emperor’s daughters on their journey for their own marriages (arranged, this time) to the princes of Qui Gong.

Cinderella III: A Twist in Time (2007)

There’s a part three? Yup, we’re just as surprised as you are that the tale continues on after the anthology one. And it stars the two mice (Corey Burton and Frank Welker) with the Fairy Godmother (Russi Taylor) once more. Complete with the return of Cinderella’s scheming stepmother (Susan Blakeslee) who ends up changing the course of time.

The Princess and the Frog (2009)

Disney got with the times back in 2009 and finally introduced a princess that more people could see themselves in. In this jazzy retelling of the classic tale, we go with Tiana (voiced by Anika Noni Rose) in old New Orleans as she tries to fulfill her dream of opening up a restaurant, in honor of her late father. She gets sidetracked when life throws her in the direction of a visiting prince and a scheming witch doctor. Frogs involved, of course.

Tangled (2010)

This movie arguably changed the way our classic Disney princess movies are made. With its more 3D design, Tangled was arguably the mark of a new era. In this retelling, we watch Rapunzel (Mandy Moore), a young princess who lives a monotonous life and longs to leave her isolated tower as a result. She accepts the help of an intruder to take her out into the world, which she has never seen before, even if it means she has to defy the wishes of her foster mother.

Brave (2012)

Disney takes us over to the world of Scottish lore as we follow Merida (Kelly Macdonald), one of the fieriest princesses of this new generation of Disney princesses. She turns a tradition on its head, thereby wreaking havoc in her kingdom (and mostly for her mom)—all because of her desire to follow her own path in life and not just some predetermined fate. She’s given one wish, but she has to rely on her skills and heart to break a curse and hopefully, the norm as well.

Moana (2016)

Moana (Auliʻi Cravalho) is a chief’s daughter and is thereby bound to lead her people when the right time comes, which is somewhat contrary to what she actually wants—to travel the seas. So when a demigod named Maui (Dwayne Johnson) steals the heart of Te Fiti and causes the crops and the dish in her island to fail, she has to set off on a journey to retrieve the heart and save her people from hunger and helplessness.

Beauty and the Beast (2017)

Girl is a weird book lover. Guy is a ferocious beast. Both are outcasts of society. It’s a tale as old as time. But this 2017 live action brings together Emma Watson and Dan Stevens in a way we’ve never seen Beauty and the Beast before. Watch the show and see just how different and alive this take is on a classic tale.

Raya and the Last Dragon (2021)

Touted as the first Disney movie set in Southeast Asia, this tale is one of magic and yup, home. Five hundred years ago, the Druun—mindless, purple-and-black-colored spirits that convert everything living in their path to stone—ravaged the peaceful, affluent Kumandra subcontinent. Sisu (Awkwafina), the remaining dragon, was given a magic sealed inside a gem. When she focuses her magic on the gem, she is able to revive Kumandra's people but not its dragons.

Raya, the young warrior princess, is now tasked to protect this gem and reunite the entire Kumandra, as the people are eventually split into five distinct kingdoms along a massive dragon-shaped river. This ensued because of the power struggle over the jewel. Do Raya (Kelly Marie Tran) and Sisu have what it takes to reunite these kingdoms?
