Disney+ is here to give fans exactly what they want, when they want it. With a wide range of content available on launch day — that'd be Nov. 12 — the complete list of over 600 movies and shows can be overwhelming for anyone looking for that specific animated classic or throwback cartoon series.

Thankfully, just about everything that the studio has ever made is going to be streaming (alas, deep cuts like Song of the South aren't included), but that means that subscribers are going to be spoiled with more options than they know what to do with.

Where to start? Depending on what comes to mind for you when you think of Disney, these are the titles that are probably going to make it to the top of your list.
