All the movies and TV shows coming to Disney+
As the launch of Disney+ grows ever closer, details on what, exactly, will be available on the Mouse House’s streaming service are growing clearer. The platform will play host to a vast swath of Disney-owned content, including several Star Wars, Pixar, and Marvel films, the entire run of The Simpsons, and a smattering of the studio’s animated classics. But of course, you can’t launch a streaming service these days without an ambitious slate of original programming, and Disney has that as well. Such projects as the big-budget Star Wars series The Mandalorian will be available on the Nov. 12 launch date, with many, many more in the pipeline for release. Read on for a roundup of the movies and TV shows coming to Disney+.
