Top 5 Best Crime Mystery Movies on Disney+ (Ranked & Where to Stream)

Bob Hoskins anchors this collision of Golden Age animation and cynical 1940s hardboiled pulp with pitch-perfect gravel. Playing Eddie Valiant—a booze-soaked gumshoe haunted by personal tragedy—Hoskins interacts with his hand-drawn costars with absolute sincerity, whether grilling a sultry cabaret singer or surviving a sinister dip in turpentine. The conspiracy unravels like classic Chinatown, turning Los Angeles transit corruption and municipal backroom deals into an intricate murder investigation. Robert Zemeckis’s hybrid remains an unmatched high-water mark, delivering genuine noir danger and brilliant misdirection without watering down its detective chops for younger viewers.

Set against the jagged, safety-pin backdrop of 1970s London punk, Craig Gillespie transforms a legacy villain into an ambitious con artist executing high-stakes jewel heists. Emma Stone plays Estella with venomous swagger, trading barbs with Emma Thompson’s monstrous Baroness as their fashion rivalry unearths a grim familial murder mystery. The narrative functions less like an origin story and more like a breathless revenge caper filled with elaborate grifts, disguise work, and calculated sabotage. It easily claims a prime spot for genre fans, offering a slick mystery wrapped in razor-sharp dialogue, lavish production value, and a deliciously cutthroat battle of wits.

Fog-drenched Victorian alleyways set the stage for an impeccably paced animated procedural that borrows straight from Arthur Conan Doyle’s playbook. When a master toymaker vanishes from his workshop, eccentric sleuth Basil of Baker Street must untangle a sequence of bizarre clues involving peg-legged bats and kidnapped clockwork artisans. Vincent Price’s turn as Professor Ratigan supplies genuine villainous menace, culminating in a harrowing showdown inside the gears of Big Ben. This Victorian thriller gives subscribers a tight, sharply written detective mystery that honors classic deduction mechanics and deductive observation better than most modern live-action whodunits.

True crime stories rarely manage the psychological restraint exhibited in this account of a Florida teenager who survives a serial predator through calculated observation. Katie Douglas delivers a staggering, grounded performance as Lisa, who memorizes tactical forensic details—carpet fibers, road turns, billboard slogans—while in captivity, later using them to guide skeptical detectives directly to her assailant. The film steers clear of cheap exploitation, focusing squarely on the procedural mechanics of tracking a predator through victim intelligence. It stands out sharply in the catalog as a sobering, intensely realistic investigative procedural that commands total respect for forensic police work.

Jim Henson’s sophomore directorial outing dresses up its puppet anarchy in the slick, polished trenchcoat of a classic British jewel theft whodunit. Kermit and Fozzie star as shoe-leather investigative reporters dispatched to London after a high-fashion baroness gets robbed, only to find Miss Piggy framed for the brazen crime. The comedy lands relentlessly, but the underlying robbery scheme and synchronized caper climax are plotted with surprisingly airtight genre logic. It earns its badge by subverting classic noir and heist tropes with relentless charm, making it a delightfully eccentric, tongue-in-cheek detour for mystery fans seeking sharp wit over grit.
