***Lilo & Stitch***
Rotten Tomatoes Score: 86%
Disney's heartwarming animated hit tells the story of a young Hawaiian girl who adopts an unusual, alien-like pet. The flick is fun for the whole family, but be warned: you'll be walking around with Stitch's voice stuck in your head for days afterwards.

***The Emperor's New Groove***
Rotten Tomatoes Score: 85%
Being turned into a llama doesn't sound too fun, but if you're an *emperor* turned into a llama? That's even worse. The premise of *The Emperor's New Groove* is certainly ridiculous, but its themes of redemption and kindness are anything but. Stream it now on Netflix.

With a new month comes a slew of new titles, and sometimes, sifting through a mountain of TV shows and movies can feel pretty darn overwhelming. What’s worth your time? How do you decide what to watch? We understand that sifting through 100+ new titles can be a little daunting, so we’re here to help. We’ve searched all the titles hitting Netflix this month and found the top-rated movies and TV shows coming your way this September.

Prepare to get your binge-watch on, because Netflix is adding a ridiculous number of new titles to its library in September. On the TV side, Netflix is releasing new seasons of American Vandal and BoJack Horseman, two of its most critically-acclaimed series (American Vandal‘s first dick-filled season won a Peabody Award, for god’s sakes!). If you’d prefer to kick off your fall with a movie marathon, Netflix has you covered. Classic flicks like The Breakfast Club, Scarface, and Groundhog Day are hitting the platform this month, as well as contemporary hits like Lilo & Stitch and Black Panther (it feels wrong to call Black Panther a simple “hit,” but it will have to do).

You deserve to kick back and relax with the best the streaming world has to offer, and that’s why we went to the trouble of finding you the top-rated titles debuting this month. Here are the highest-rated movies and shows coming to Netflix this September, ranked by their Rotten Tomatoes Critic Scores.
