Disney Unveiled an Extensive List of Throwback Movies and Shows Coming to Disney+. The Internet Did Its Thing.
In a lengthy Twitter thread Monday morning, Disney unveiled the extremely extensive list of movies and shows coming to Disney+ when the streaming service launches on Nov. 12.
In addition to a number of highly-anticipated original releases that Disney had previously announced, including the Star Wars TV series The Mandalorian, the Disney+ roster will feature top titles from Marvel, Pixar, Lucasfilm and more.
The catalog was revealed in chronological order of release, beginning with 1937’s Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, and ranges from fan-favorite classics like 1965’s The Sound of Music to obscure selections like 1986’s Fuzzball.
It. Is. Time. From Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs to The Mandalorian, check out basically everything coming to #DisneyPlus in the U.S. on November 12.

old enough to remember when Disney’s home video strategy was to threaten consumers that their movies would be put away in a vault and if you didn’t buy them RIGHT NOW you might never get to see them again

Kudos to Disney Plus for the perfect flex of a Twitter thread confirming that it owns absolutely everything the sun touches, but remember that weird dog movie you loved once on cable, don't you want it back????
