20 Kids and Family Holiday Movies Dubbed in Mandarin Chinese
The holiday season brings a special charm, and what better way to enjoy it than with a cozy movie night? Here's a list of family-friendly holiday movies available in Mandarin Chinese, complete with ratings, a short plot and genres. I've separated them out into G and PG+ rated films.
Not every movie is available in Chinese audio, so I manually checked each one to curate you this list. Enjoy!
How to change your language audio on Disney+
1. Start playing the film, then go to settings, located on the top right corner of the screen in a little subtitle rectangle shaped icon.
2. Select Chinese as the audio and I like to add English subtitles for support.
