Best Shows and Movies on Disney+ Right Now, Ranked by IQ Score
Disney+ pairs Star Wars / Marvel franchise tentpoles with Pixar's animated canon and the Disney back catalog. The TVI-rated titles currently on Disney+, ranked.
Bluey is the highest-scoring title on Disney+ in the current TVI snapshot, with a TVI Score of 184/200.
Availability checked against the US subscription provider feed on August 6, 2026. Streaming catalogs move; each title page carries the canonical score and rationale.
Disney+ is a franchise-anchored platform: the Star Wars universe, the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Pixar's animated canon, and Disney's family-content back catalog. The TVI rubric reads the platform by the same standards as everything else, without genre adjustment, era adjustment, or franchise weight. Some titles score surprisingly high; others score honestly modest.
Anchor picks: Andor (154) sits at the top of the Star Wars universe, a labor-organizing-as-rebellion procedural with structural seriousness that the broader franchise rarely matches. Spirited Away (184) is the Studio Ghibli high-water mark. The Pixar canon (Inside Out, Up, WALL-E) anchors the family-content tier with genuine craft.
How this list is built: A title appears here only if it is in the TVI database with a published IQ Score and the current provider feed places it on Disney+ in the US.

Questions about this ranking
What is the best show on Disney+?
Spirited Away holds the highest IQ Score among Disney+ titles at 184/200 (Masterclass tier) on TV Intelligentsia. Andor (154) leads the original-series prestige tier; the Pixar canon (Inside Out, Up, WALL-E) anchors the family-content side.
How does TVI rank Disney+ titles?
Every Disney+ title in the TVI database is scored on the same published rubric: Cognitive Stimulation (40%), Educational Value (35%), Craft & Quality (25%). No franchise adjustment, no genre adjustment. This page then filters the scored database to titles currently appearing in the US Disney+ provider feed.
Why is Andor scored so much higher than other Star Wars content?
Andor treats rebellion as a labor-organizing problem, which is what real political insurgency actually is. The show commits to institutional precision rather than franchise mythology. The TVI rubric rewards structural seriousness; Andor's 154/200 reflects that. Other Star Wars content scores lower not because it's bad but because the rubric measures different things than franchise enjoyment.
