The ease of access to those feature films is a strong selling point, but it's the plethora of individual short films that represent the true cinematic gold mine.
MICKEY MOUSE SHORTS FREE
You can watch the development of the company's business and even the evolution of Walt Disney's personal interests Caballeros and Saludos Amigos were inspired by the founder's tour of Latin America in the early '40s, while Fun & Fancy Free was an omnibus of shorts that did enough business to finance some of the early feature-length classics. It's an impressive collection, boasting classics such as Fun & Fancy Free, The Three Caballeros, and other significant features that were made during heady times and represent cultural and animation milestones. The list includes the Renaissance classics (think The Lion King and Aladdin) and the Golden Age stuff ( Cinderella, Snow White, etc.), as well as the old movies that starred Mickey Mouse and is OG friends instead of princesses and their square-jawed heroes. Nearly all of Disney's feature films are now available on Disney+, marking the first time that you've been able to stream them all in one place for a single subscription fee. Disney has always been deliberate about the way it releases its old classics, both because so many of them were committed to film stock that requires significant care and restoration, and because the company was careful about preserving the value of revival theater runs and limited edition home video releases.
MICKEY MOUSE SHORTS TV
But Disney+ isn't so much a replacement for physical media as it is a supplement, as it's hosting a treasure trove of films, shorts, and TV episodes that aren't readily available elsewhere. And while there are many more originals on the way, from Marvel and other brands, the old stuff more than stands on its own right now, especially given the company's history of releasing its back catalog to the public.įilm Twitter can breathe easy - I'm a fan of physical media and own as many Blu-rays as is feasible in a small Manhattan apartment. That library, supplemented by the acquisition of 20th Century Fox and National Geographic, is the reason the platform could launch with only so many originals at least at first, Disney+ is as much a nostalgia machine as it is an entrant into the new content war. The Mandalorian serves as the flagship show of Disney+'s first batch of new programs, which are sprinkled throughout the massive library that was made available at launch.
MICKEY MOUSE SHORTS ARCHIVE
The first live-action Star Wars series has received deservedly rave reviews, and I'm having a ton of fun with it, but right now, it's less the new stuff on the streaming service that has me hooked on the streamer than it is the vast archive that the Walt Disney Company has uploaded to its city of servers. Like most everyone in the entertainment news space and millions of Star Wars fans, I've been waking up early on Friday mornings to watch the latest episode of The Mandalorian (and come up with good tweets about Baby Yoda) on Disney+.
