The May line up for Disney+ is one with the Force
May is almost here and that means that Star Wars Day is just around the corner and this May 4th (May the 4th, get it?) Disney is releasing the first episode of a special behind the scenes series all about The Mandalorian, here check out the trailer.
In “Disney Gallery: The Mandalorian,” Executive Producer Jon Favreau invites the cast and crew to share an unprecedented look at the making of the series which quickly became a pop culture phenomenon after premiering in November 2019. It also makes this show the debut of the Disney Gallery series, which will hopefully start to showcase more behind the scenes of other shows and movies.
The second show, which comes a little later in the month, is all about the four legged friends we call dogs. The iconic voice of Goofy and Pluto for more than 30 years, Disney Legend Bill Farmer steps out from behind the microphone to meet his own favorite characters — dogs! Join Bill as he crosses the country meeting dogs doing all kinds of incredible jobs that make our lives better. In the series premiere, Bill is at sea with a dog who sniffs for whale poop. Then, he meets a dog keeping a sheep ranch moving.
If you want a trip down memory lane, then Prop Culture might just be the show for you, as film historian and prop collector Dan Lanigan reunites iconic Disney movie props with the filmmakers, actors, and crew who created and used them in some of Disney’s most beloved films.
Throughout this journey, Dan will recover lost artifacts, visit private collections, and help restore pieces from the Walt Disney Archives to their original glory. Among the films featured this season are Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl, Mary Poppins, The Muppet Movie, Tron and Who Framed Roger Rabbit?
Towards the end of the month, a new game show will hit, that challenges kids to spot a fib, hosted by Yvette Nicole Brown and featuring Rhys Darby as her robot sidekick, C.L.I.V.E. In each episode of this comedy game show, a kid starts by playing a warm-up round where a silly liar and an authentic expert share fabulous fibs and fun facts. Starring up and coming comedic talent, this round is played for laughs as well as always having a nugget of real information about the topic be it ice-cream, tree-climbing or toy design. Next our kid contestant plays the main round where they question an expert who’s paired with a really good liar on the same topic. It’s up to our kid to find the fibber.
But there is so much more, the final episodes of Star Wars The Clones Wars will take place in May, as well as some new movies, like Maleficent Mistress of Evil, will come to the service. Here is the full list of what is coming and when:
