Get ready to indulge in all things Disney, Pixar, and Marvel with a Disney Plus subscription! Here’s everything you need to know about the streaming platform.
Where is the only place to catch all the latest Disney movies and TV shows, along with their cache of animated classics? The answer of course, is Disney+, a content-packed streaming platform that includes close to a century’s worth of Disney shorts and features. Along with the classics you know and love, it’s also got movies and shows from Pixar, Marvel, Lucasfilm, Nat Geo, and 21st Century Fox.
How much does Disney+ cost? How do you create an account? And can you watch the Star Wars prequels on the service? We’ll answer all these questions and more in this everything-you-need-to-know Disney+ guide.
What does Disney+ include?
Disney+ currently hosts hundreds of Disney-related movies and television series. Classic animated features like Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs and Pinocchio are there, as is modern-day Disney Channel fare like Descendants, vintage live-action features including The Parent Trap and Old Yeller, forgotten oddities like the made-for-TV Fuzzbucket, a huge collection of ’90s Marvel cartoons, almost every Star Wars flick, Pixar movies, and much, much more.
While the service includes most Marvel movies, there are still some MCU films that are harder to come by on Disney+ due to licensing agreements with other streamers, such as Netflix. Titles such as the Tom Holland Spider-Man movies and Edward Norton’s Incredible Hulk come and go from the service, for example. You will, however, find all of the X-Men films, and, happily, the Star Wars universe is all present and accounted for on Disney+.
Disney+’s original productions are where things get exciting. In addition to Star Wars TV shows like Obi-Wan Kenobi (which is set between Revenge of the Sith and A New Hope and sees Ewan McGregor and Hayden Christensen reprising their roles from the prequel films), The Mandalorian, and The Book of Boba Fett — Disney+ continues to host a slew of live-action Star Wars series. These include the Rogue One prequel, Star Wars: Andor, in which Diego Luna and Alan Tudyk reprised their roles from that film, and Ahsoka, in which Rosario Dawson continues her starring turn as Anakin Skywalker’s embattled former Padawan.
The Marvel Cinematic Universe series Falcon and Winter Soldier, Loki, WandaVision, and Hawkeye have already hit big on Disney+, in which big-screen stars like Elizabeth Olsen and Tom Hiddleston reprised their roles that directly affected Marvel’s big-screen adventures, including Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness. The latest string of shows introduces new characters like Ms. Marvel, She-Hulk, and Moon Knight to the MCU before they appear in feature films.
You’ll also find the entire Pixar library, including new movie releases like Inside Out 2, Elemental, and Lightyear, as well as the whole gamut of Disney Animation Studios films like Encanto and Raya and the Last Dragon.
