4. Jungle Cruise

Lily Houghton (Emily Bunt) enlists the aid of wisecracking skipper Frank Wolff (Dwayne Johnson) to take her down the Amazon in his ramshackle boat.

With plans for a feature film based on the ride since 2004, let’s hope that the 17 year wait was worth it.

5. The Silent Forest

Rounding off the list with something that is not hitting the streaming platform on Disney+ Day (Nov 12), this Taiwanese social psychological thriller is about a hearing-impaired boy who transfers to a school for children with special needs.

His excitement about blending into a new environment immediately turns into fear however when he witnesses the reality happening in the school.
