Disney Plus: 15 Biggest Movies Missing At Launch

13. National Treasure (2004)

Nic Cage's biggest Disney movie has been done dirty.

There seems to be no real justification for the unfair omission of National Treasure - particularly as its inferior sequel Book Of Shadows will be available from Day One.

The Indiana Jones-lite adventure movie starring Cage with the most ridiculous of jingoistic names - Benjamin Franklin Gates (he might as well be called Murica Eaglesoar) is a bit of an under-appreciated delight. And considering it made Disney more than $800m at the box office, the oversight here looks like disrespect.

Presumably, the real answer is that it comes down to streaming deals, but then that begs the question of why the sequel is exempt.
