Home Alone earned over 拢385 million worldwide and was the highest grossing live action comedy ever until The Hangover Part II's release in 2011.
Disney's CEO Bob Iger said there will also be "reimaginations" of Night At the Museum, Diary of a Wimpy Kid and Cheaper By the Dozen.
Disney now owns the franchises after it bought the film studio 20th Century Fox.
The new service Disney+ launches in the US in November and is expected to hit the UK next year.
