There's a whole range of movies that can be watched on Disney+, seeing as Disney owns the rights to what feels like a near-infinite amount of properties. A good deal of those movies are popular, either because they're nostalgic for many viewers, or belong to popular franchises. But the quality can't quite match the sheer quantity, and this leads to there being some hidden anti-gems buried within the pile of content that Disney owns.

What follows are movies that range from bad but fun to potential guilty pleasures. It would be a stretch to call any of these movies good, but when viewed from the right point of view, there can be entertainment gained from them. For viewers who enjoy the idea of watching something ironically, or find creative missteps interesting and engaging in their own ways, the following titles on Disney+ may hold value.

11 'Jack' (1996)

Directed by Francis Ford Coppola

Francis Ford Coppola is responsible for directing some all-time classics. Looking at any list that covers great movies from the 1970s will tell you as much, given there's a good chance that Coppola's The Godfather, The Godfather Part II, and Apocalypse Now will appear there. Coppola's career beyond the 1970s has stayed diverse and unpredictable, with 1996's Jack further making this clear.

It's a baffling watch from its premise alone, which sees Robin Williams playing a 10-year-old boy with a rare condition that makes him look four times older than he really is, mixing awkward comedy with mawkishly sentimental drama along the way. With humor that's hit or miss at best and drama that's hard to take seriously, Jack is at least an interesting watch, even if it's interesting in a morbidly fascinating way.

10 'Caravan of Courage: An Ewok Adventure' (1984)

Directed by John Korty

Everyone knows about the original Star Wars trilogy, and the general consensus is that they're great movies - indeed, some of the best science fiction movies of all time. While later Star Wars trilogies proved far more divisive, viewers can agree on the first three movies, but it's unlikely that all of those fans know about the two Ewok-focused spin-offs that immediately followed 1983's Return of the Jedi, being released as made-for-TV movies.

The first of these two spin-offs is called Caravan of Courage: An Ewok Adventure, and centers on Ewoks helping two stranded human children to find their parents. Caravan of Courage is a low-budget, clunky, silly movie, but could prove to be a lot of fun for Star Wars fans who want to watch something that's technically within the same universe, while offering a different kind of entertainment to the actually good movies in the series.

9 'Cars 2' (2011)

Directed by John Lasseter

Simply put, the only way to enjoy the miserable and baffling movie that is Cars 2 is to laugh at how ludicrous it is. The first Cars (while far from a masterpiece) at least has some things going for it, and something of a message and character arc for its protagonist. It is, at minimum, a legitimate movie. Cars 2 is just a disaster on every level, and regrettably, the great Michael Caine was even roped into being involved with it.

It's a movie that makes the incredibly poor decision of making the grating comic relief Disney character of the first Cars (Mater) the protagonist, meaning that those who barely tolerated him the first time around are going to struggle this time. The plot also turns into an action/spy one for no reason, taking the focus off of racing, and some of the violence inflicted upon the various car characters is jarringly brutal. Cars 2 is a wacky movie, and not really in a good way, making for a wild viewing experience.

8 'That Darn Cat' (1997)

Directed by Bob Spiers

It's hard to expect something ordinary out of a movie that's called That Darn Cat. This darn movie is indeed about a darn cat who makes things darn hard for a would-be kidnapper, after the kidnapped victim manages to scratch a message onto said darn cat's collar, which motivates the darn cat's darn owner to play amateur detective. Essentially, it plays out a bit like a mystery/thriller movie, but seemingly played for laughs and made more family-friendly.

Combining family movie tropes with a crime-related story is never going to be easy to do, and That Darn Cat doesn't exactly excel in this regard. It was a remake of a fairly obscure Disney movie from the 1960s, so maybe it never really stood a chance at being a good film... but that doesn't mean its silly premise can't be enjoyed a little more ironically.

7 'The Return of Jafar' (1994)

Directed by Toby Shelton, Tad Stones, and Alan Zaslove

Most can agree that Disney's first Aladdin movie is a classic. After all, it retold an old story well, and featured Robin Williams delivering a hilarious and beloved performance as a genie sidekick who essentially stole the entire movie. Unfortunately, there was money to be made by producing cheap, straight-to-video sequels of beloved Disney movies back in the 1990s, and 1994's The Return of Jafar might be the most infamous example.

The Return of Jafar is a bit laughable from the title alone, given few people felt it was necessary (or plausible) for Jafar to return after he got trapped in a lamp and banished at the end of the first movie. Add that to the cheap-looking animation, and the fact they couldn't get Williams back, and you have yourself a well below-average sequel that stands as a testament to why low-budget follow-ups to animated classics aren't exactly the best idea.

6 'Thor: The Dark World' (2013)

Directed by Alan Taylor

Some might even find it difficult to enjoy Thor: The Dark World in a way that's cynical or ironic, but one thing's for sure: it's your best option, seeing as there's even less of a chance that you'd be able to enjoy this Thor sequel unironically.

Thor: The Dark World is perhaps the most forgettable movie in the MCU, and feels inconsequential to the series as a whole, seeing as it sends Thor and Loki off on a fairly unimportant adventure that changes little for future movies. Laughing at it for being unimportant and almost comically vanilla is probably the best option for those who aren't willing to simply forget that it exists altogether. It also might not be the worst Thor movie out there, but in no way can it be considered anything near a great superhero movie.

5 'G-Force' (2009)

Directed by Hoyt H. Yeatman Jr.

G-Force never really had a chance to be great, given it's about talking guinea pigs who are also secret agents, and find themselves wrapped up in a conspiracy whereby they need to save the world. However, it's still surprising to watch it and witness for yourself just how bad it really is.

It's the kind of movie that tries to have a couple of jokes every minute (at least), which is a good thing when the jokes are funny, but agonizing when they're not. It's possible to almost find it funny how not funny it is, and also possible to be frustrated by how often the movie chooses to spam Black Eyed Peas song on its soundtrack. For masochistic viewers of bad kids' movies, G-Force is as stupid and challenging as it gets.

4 'X-Men: Apocalypse' (2016)

Directed by Bryan Singer

The X-Men film series is a remarkably inconsistent one. There are many good films within it, and then a handful that are borderline unwatchable. X-Men: Apocalypse walks an interesting line between the two extremes, because while it's not a good movie, it's also somewhat fun because of how bombastic and all over the shop it is.

It introduces Apocalypse, who's the world's first mutant, and he... well, he wants to bring about an apocalypse. As such, all the other X-Men team up to stop him. It's very silly and takes itself too seriously for such an over-the-top premise, which naturally makes it potentially entertaining schlock for viewers who get a kick out of that kind of thing. It's certainly unwieldy and all just a bit too much, but when approached with the right frame of mind, maybe it can be a slightly enjoyable X-Men flick.

3 'Eragon' (2006)

Directed by Stefen Fangmeier

Back in the early to mid-2000s, the Eragon book series was a big deal for young fantasy fans, so a movie adaptation seemed inevitable. Just three years after the first novel's publication, an Eragon movie did indeed come to fruition, telling the story of a farm boy who finds a dragon egg and eventually gets wrapped up in an adventure that involves taking on a villainous king.

The adaptation of Eragon wasn't seen as a great one, and certainly didn't live up to expectations for those who enjoyed the story as a novel. Enough time has passed to make this fantasy movie potentially fun to watch as a remnant of a simpler – and perhaps less consistent – time as far as fantasy novel adaptations are concerned, and time will tell if Disney+'s upcoming Eragon series adaptation of the original book series will fare better.

2 'Pinocchio' (2022)

Directed by Robert Zemeckis

2022 saw two high-profile Pinocchio movies get released. Of these two stories about a wooden puppet coming to life, one was a critically acclaimed and Oscar-winning dark fantasy film by Guillermo del Toro, and the other was Disney's live-action remake/update of the original animated movie of the same name from 1940.

It's safe to say that the former was one of the year's most beloved animated films, while the latter is seen as one of the least popular of all the (often controversial) Disney live-action remakes made so far. Pinocchio's mere existence is bizarre, especially because the 1940 version still holds up, and the mix of live-action footage with CGI animation is garish and arguably even more unsettling than del Toro's take on the story, which is very much supposed to be unsettling in parts. Undoubtedly, this version of Pinocchio is a regrettable low point in Robert Zemeckis's filmography.

1 'The Sorcerer's Apprentice' (2010)

Directed by Jon Turteltaub

Few actors can pull off over-the-top performances as well as the great Nicolas Cage, which means that the movies he features in are often worth watching regardless of their quality. As it so happens, The Sorcerer's Apprentice is one such film starring Cage that isn't very good at all, but contains some entertainment value in any event.

It's a typical fantasy movie with a good and evil plot, and to its credit, it takes inspiration from one segment of Fantasia without feeling like a direct and redundant live-action remake. However, The Sorcerer's Apprentice is also a little disappointing for those expecting something genuinely great, and is more likely to bring entertainment value to those who find the idea of Nicolas Cage playing a wizard inherently amusing.
