30 Animated Kids Movies Available in Mandarin Chinese on Disney+
A great way to expose yourself or your little one to more Mandarin is through movies! Did you know that Disney+ offers a handful of movies dubbed in Mandarin Chinese? All you have to do is switch your language audio!
How to switch your audio and change your subtitles on Disney+:
- Start the movie you want to watch.
- In the first few seconds of the video, click on the Language button which can be found at the upper-right corner of the screen.
- Select ‘Mandarin’ or ‘Taiwanese Mandarin’ for audio.
- Select your caption language (optional). I like to choose English so that I can learn along with the audio.
