Best chick flicks on Disney Plus

Before we dive into this list, let me define what I mean by “chick flick,” because everyone seems to have a different definition!

Chick flicks are typically movies that focus on relationships, love, and emotions, and often have female characters as the main protagonists.

They can be romantic comedies, dramas, or even musicals, but they all share a common thread: they’re movies that aim straight for the heartstrings.

Now that we’re on the same page as to what we’re looking for, let’s move on to the best chick flicks on Disney Plus.
