Admit it, you signed up for Disney+ for The Mandalorian and all of the magical Pixie Dust in the Disney film archive. But now in light of the Coronavirus and the ever changing world of school closures, you are desperately searching for any and all available educational content to feed your kids' brains. Never fear, Disney+ is here! I culled through the Disney+ offerings and selected 25 films / documentaries / series that I think are worth sharing.
Be sure to stick around until the end of the list for a BONUS selection that is not currently part of Disney+!

I can vividly remember watching this in school on a 16mm projector. I don't think I have ever looked at math the same. I really wish that this was on Disney+, but thanks to the power of YouTube, we can enjoy it and so many other lost classics. This is the highest quality upload of the video that I found. ENJOY!
