Growing up, I was always a huge fan of Disney, Pixar, and Star Wars, and now I’ve got access to all this great content on one app, for one low monthly fee, without _ever_ having to worry about the Disney Vault again. I love it. I’m watching _Aladdin_ now, just because I want to.

Yeah it’s pretty nuts the amount of content they have on there. Even if they didn’t have Star Wars and Marvel, Disney + would be a worthwhile service for lots of people.
I started watching Disney cartoon movies that I had never seen before on Netflix, not long before Disney + came around. They really are all _spectacular_ movies, aren’t they?!

Disney+ is the only streaming service that clearly is worth the price. Netflix is on the edge. I haven’t seen any others that convince me to subscribe.
I’ve been going through and watching every Simpsons Halloween special.

I bought the three years up front for about $4 a month and honestly, it’s got a TON of stuff and worth every penny.
My kids and us have watched all the Marvel movies(had to get disc for Spider-man) and all the Star Wars stuff. And all of Gravity Falls. And so many more things.

_Secrets of Sulphur Springs_ is a great Disney Channel mystery series, one of the best Disney Channel series I’ve ever seen, with a real sense of mystery and danger. I watched the entire thing in one sitting on Disney+ late one Saturday night.

Now that _Loki_ is over, we’re currently watching:
_MODOK_
_Monsters At Work_
_The Mysterious Benedict Society_
Also, Disney+ enabled me to actually bingewatch the entirety of _Phineas and Ferb_ during lockdown.
Yes, I am actually a grown man.
ETA: We’re not actually watching shows in alphabetical order. It just weirdly worked out that way above.

Nitpick: _MODOK_ is actually a Hulu Original. It’s not available through Disney+ (I’m guessing you’ve got the bundle that includes both Hulu and Disney+).

For the D+ Original material, I’ve enjoyed _The Mysterious Benedict Society_, _Big Shot_, _The Mighty Ducks: Game Changers_, _WandaVision_, _The Falcon and the Winter Soldier_, and _Loki_. I **loved** _The Mandalorian_. I also appreciate access to some old favorites like _Gargoyles_, _Kim Possible_, _Clone Wars_ (the micro-series and the later CGI animated series), and _Avengers: Earth’s Mightiest Heroes_. Plus of course the back catalog of Disney, Marvel, and Star Wars movies. I’ve also watched a few NatGeo documentaries I liked.
Overall, it’s been _more_ than worth it to me. I thought their initial roll-out of original programming was lacking (the DC Universe streaming service had a more ambitious original line-up out of the gate), but I think it’s more than caught up now.

I’m in the UK. A lot of Hulu stuff turns up on other streaming services here, including MODOK which is definitely on Disney+.

_It’s the Muppet Show! Yaaaaay!_
The new Muppets Now, on the other hand, meh.

I revisited one of the funniest movies of all-time, _The Great Muppet Caper,_ a couple days ago. I particularly love the scene in which an in-character argument between Kermit and Miss Piggy, in which they’re arguing about Piggy lying to Kermit about being Lady Holiday, devolves into an _out_-of-character argument about Piggy’s overacting.

I enjoyed rewatching _The Gummi Bears_ so much I wrote a live-action screenplay for a feature film revival!

I was lucky enough to have my nephew generously bung me a Disney+ subscription. 🕶
I started binge-watching with ‘The Falcon + the Winter Soldier’, am currently on to ‘the Mandalorian’, with ‘WandaVision’ and ‘Loki’ to come. 😍

Pixar fans should check out Pixar’s first original series, _Monsters at Work,_ a sequel series to _Monsters, Inc._ They got Billy Crystal, John Goodman, and Jennifer Tilly to reprise their roles as Mike, Sulley, and Celia, and it focuses on a whole new group of characters, the technical crew, called MIFT.

Just watched the Disney±available documentary on the Sherman Brothers [The Boys: The Sherman Brothers' Story - Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Boys:_The_Sherman_Brothers%27_Story) which was very good.

Bumping to let everyone know that the original 1950s TV series of _Zorro_ dropped very recently, and that it holds up very well in 2022. Mom and I have been binge-watching it every day.

I’ve watched a few of those with my wife - they were fun.

Did you know that Disney had a movie with one of the longest titles? It was **The One and Only, Genuine Original Family Band**.

I bought 3 years when it was originally offered 3 years ago. It’s time to re-up. If anyone happens to come across a good deal, post it here. I’m really afraid I won’t be able to find anything that isn’t an ESPN bundle which is completely wasted on me

We’re just after watching _Rosaline_ - smart, funny, acting, terrific cinematography and costumes. (It’s a FOX production, yet)- _Disenchanted_ and _Willow_ (sequel) coming out in November.
_Andor_ is like a blueprint of what Star Wars should have been & will be going forward.
_Only Murders_, Jeff Bridges in _Old Man_ … good stuff
I’m loyal to Warner Brothers and Bugs Bunny. Disney owns the IP of _The Simpsons_, so following on I look forward to the feature length version of _Scratchtasia_
