Given the sheer strength in depth of the Mouse House’s back catalogue that includes Star Wars, the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Pixar, The Simpsons and a wide selection of animated titles which includes many of the greatest hand-drawn and computer-animated efforts ever made, not to mention the production line of live-action remakes based on the studio’s extensive roster of classics, there’s more than enough content on Disney Plus to keep subscribers occupied for years.
In terms of original content though, the platform is lagging far behind the likes of Netflix, Amazon and even HBO Max. Of course, that clearly doesn’t matter in the slightest when the customer count blew past 73 million in just twelve months, far ahead of even the most optimistic projections being made in the boardroom.
This weekend brings an eclectic mix of new additions, and for those who were unwilling to shell out $30 for the privilege of Niki Caro’s Mulan, the surprisingly controversial blockbuster is now available to watch for free. There’s also several titles that look destined to draw in some big numbers, and you can check out the full list below.
- Anastasia
- Mulan
- Big
- Big Sharks Rule
- Man vs. Shark
- The Nutcracker and the Four Realms
- Sky High
- Godmothered
- The Mandalorian – Chapter 14
- Extras – Beyond the Clouds: Where It All Began
- The Wonderful World of Mickey Mouse: Keep On Rollin, The Big Good Wolf
Obviously, The Mandalorian is going to top the most-watched list seeing as the show is five times more popular than anything else on Disney Plus, but original comedy Godmothered is also poised to play well with family audiences. Tom Hanks’ breakthrough role in Big is an undisputed classic, while overlooked superhero movie Sky High is a severely underrated gem. The same can’t be said for The Nutcracker and the Four Realms though, which tanked at the box office back in 2018, but 1997’s beloved yet overlooked animation Anastasia will help keep the nostalgia crowd occupied.
