Disney+ Will Have So Many Movies, and People Are Freaking Out
Disney’s soon-to-be-released streaming platform, Disney+, unveiled a large chunk of its catalog on Monday, October 14, and the internet is freaking out. The service, which launches in November, will be the home to all your favorites under the Disney umbrella—and that’s an extensive list. Princess movies, Marvel flicks (since Marvel is owned by Disney), Disney Channel TV shows—all of this content will be available on Disney+. But what’s exciting fans the most is the addition of Disney Channel Original Movies—like Double Teamed, Pixel Perfect, and Smart House—to the lineup. Yup! Disney+ is shaping up to be your childhood in streaming form.
Obviously, those who grew up watching Disney in the ’90s and early ’00s are thrilled about this slate. “If you don’t see me out after November 12th, mind your own business,” one person wrote. Another tweeted, “Thanks to #DisneyPlus I can watch Luck of the Irish on St. Patrick’s Day like I used to.”
“Looks like imma have to borrow somebody’s Disney Plus,” a third fan posted. Meanwhile, someone else cheekily tweeted, “Today I’m learning that you guys all grew up in fancy houses with Disney Channel subscriptions. When the Caviar Channel launches you guys are suddenly gonna be like, ‘omg beluga DEFINED my childhood!!!’” There have also been videos, GIFs, and memes galore celebrating Disney+. Check out just a few of the reactions, below:
Perhaps the buzziest original TV show coming to Disney+ is the Lizzie McGuire reboot starring Hilary Duff. The actor confirmed this was happening August 24 at the D23 Expo. “I am beyond excited to be home again, back with my girl,” Duff wrote on her Instagram at the time. A release date isn’t known yet.
Disney+ becomes available to the general public on November 12. It will surely be what dreams are made of.
