Disney+ News & Discussion Thread

All I hope is they'll finally add Make Mine Music to the streamer. It's the only animated canon film that hasn't been released on D+ yet.

I was thinking the other day, but there is a serious lack of traditional sitcoms on Disney+. They have Home Improvement, 8 Simple Rules, Wonder Years (remake), and Black-ish…..and that’s all I really noticed? Are there more buried somewhere? There’s plenty of shows from Disney/Touchstone and 20th Century Fox they could add. This is especially true now that they started adding R-rated movies and TV-MA series, so I’m not buying that they aren’t family friendly enough.

I know they have Boy Meets World.

Thanks for the heads up on Home Improvement - I didn't realize that was added to Disney+ at some point. I've started back on that, having not watched it in probably two decades (!). The show's not high art by any means but it has some laughs.

For some reason The Simpsons absolutely LOATHED Home Improvement as it was airing. It took the same kinds of cheap shots at it it later took at Family Guy. For some reason, that show stuck in the craw of Simpsons writers. Like little else.

Huh, I dont recall that. I know about the "Oh no, I've killed Wilson! Guess it's back to jail for me!" scene, but aside from that there were no real potshots at HI. If anything, Married With Children got more potshots, and that continued into that one episode of Futurama (and that show actually starred a MWC cast member with Katey Segal).

 

[Fone Bone]

I remember they were doing a runner of lowbrow comedy TV rivals (I think on the meta Behind The Laughter episode) coming up with some truly cringe sounding base sitcom titles, and Bart randomly adds "Home Improvement" to the mix.

They have also made fun of Tim Allen's former drug habit more than once, which strikes me as a low blow coming from a show that routinely hires Kelsey Grammer.

That’ll happen with the launch of the combined Disney+/Hulu app Bob Iger teased.

EDIT: That is if he is still keeping that promise. There hasn't been, say, a teaser/trailer announcing it, nor any further details, as of now.

I don't keep a track with preschool shows (Playhouse Disney/Disney Junior).

If it does, it is nearly one year and Disney+ October 2023 doesn't show old animated show to be added.

My guess - wait for Disney+ to be profitable and some of their money could goes to cover on restoration cost.

Edit: or wait for Disney+ Day in November 2023 and it would be 4th anniversary for Disney+.

I really hope Disney Plus adds Stanley soon! I also hope they add JoJo's Circus and Johnny and the Sprites

I'm still waiting for Aladdin the series.

I'm still waiting for Aladdin the series.

And W.I.T.C.H. as it would be a good opportunity to tie in with the release of the upcoming comic book reboot series.

It’s very odd that those two haven’t been released on the platform yet.

 

[Goldstar!]

As I understand it, W.I.T.C.H.'s creator Elisabetta Gnone had a disagreement with Disney over creative control, which could be one reason why the animated series has yet to turn up on Disney+.

Roku has picked up "Spiderwick Chronicles" that Disney Plus dropped has been picked up by Roku.

Still mad they renewed Santa Clauses instead of Willow (and then everything else that happened to Willow)

Correct and it recently got a comic book reboot.

so, could it mean that the creator & disney are on rightful terms again and maybe they can put the animated series on disney plus & maybe do a new w.i.t.c.h. series as a response to the new winx club series?
