Disney is celebrating the 2nd anniversary of Disney+ this November with new content
Disney have announced that November 12 will be a day long remember, as they celebrate the 2nd anniversary of Disney+, by releasing a new wave of content, including removing some restrictions on others.
“The inaugural Disney+ Day will be a grand-scale celebration of our subscribers across the entire company,” said Bob Chapek, Chief Executive Officer, The Walt Disney Company. “This day of appreciation brings to life our mission to entertain, inform, and inspire fans and families around the globe through the power of unparalleled storytelling, and will become an annual tentpole event to be amplified across our global businesses."
The big new release for the day will be that Shang-Chi and The Legend of The Ten Rings will be added to the service that day, which is great news for those in lockdowns here in Australia, as we can finally see it.
In addition, Jungle Cruise will lose its Premiere Access requirement and become available for all subscribers to enjoy. Fans of Home Alone will either cheer or cry, when Home Sweet Home Alone is released on the day as well, how it will play out is anyone’s guess.
Here is a list of all the extra content coming to the service on that day:
An all-new original series of shorts from Walt Disney Animation Studios called “Olaf Presents,” which sees Frozen’s beloved snowman retelling several classic Disney tales as only he can
The domestic Disney+ streaming debut of fan favorite shorts from Walt Disney Animation Studios including “Frozen Fever,” Oscar®-winning shorts “Feast” and ''Paperman,” Oscar-nominated Mickey Mouse short, “Get A Horse!” and more
An animated short film “Ciao Alberto” from Pixar, featuring characters from this summer’s animated hit breakout film “Luca”
A new short from The Simpsons that pays tribute to Disney+’s marquee brands
The first five episodes from season 2 of “The World According to Jeff Goldblum” from National Geographic
A special celebrating the origins and legacy of Star Wars’ legendary bounty hunter, Boba Fett
A special celebrating the Marvel Cinematic Universe on Disney+ with an exciting look towards the future
“Dopesick,” an original series starring Michael Keaton, which will be released in international markets as part of the Star general entertainment content offering
While not a big thing for us, the service will also go live in South Korea, Taiwan, and Hong Kong and when it does, more content from those regions could be added to Star.
