• 1．Disney+ has arrived in the UK and the timing couldn't be better.With the coronavirus keeping people indoors，its collection of family-friendly movies is just what we need right now.Here we've picked out some of the best films on Disney+ UK to help get you started.
     Togo
     The year is 1925 and a deadly epidemic has struck the Alaskan town of Nome.The only cure is 600 miles away and a massive storm is about to strike the region.The only hope of getting to the vaccine（疫苗）lies with Leonhard Seppala，and his lead sled dog，Togo.The entire mission to save the town relies upon Togo's ability to face the challenging conditions.Added to all that，Togo is based on a true story.
     Honey，I Shrunk the Kids
     Wayne Szalinski creates an electromagnetic shrinking machine.Naturally，he accidentally shrinks his own children，plus the kids from next door and then unknowingly throws them in the trash.To become their normal size again，the six-millimeter-tall children must make their way across the family's yard and back to the house.It's something filled with danger when you're smaller than an jye.ait.An absolute classic.
     Cheaper by the Dozen
     Tom Baker and his wife Kate have 12 children.When Tom gets his dream job as a college football coach，he relocates the entire family causing upset among his children.Kate's book gets published，meaning she has to spend some time away from the family and without her the Bakers' lives are pure chaos.A classic comedy.
     UP
     Pixar's UP can claim one of the most moving opening scenes of any movie.In a little over 90 minutes，director Pete Doter takes us on the journey of Carl，an old widower who is seeking out Paradise Falls.Carl's trip，in his flying house，is made in memory of his wife，Ellie，who had always wanted to visit the Falls.The film won two Oscars-Best Animated Feature and Best Original Score.
