| 15 | [[https://disneyplus.com Disney+]] is a streaming service created by Creator/{{Disney}} that serves as the ultimate platform for their family-friendly content. This encompasses both Disney itself and many of their brands (the "plus" in the name representing the latter), including Disney, Creator/{{Pixar}}, [[Creator/MarvelComics Marvel]], Creator/{{Lucasfilm}}, [[Creator/TwentiethCenturyStudios 20th Century]] and [[Creator/NationalGeographicChannel National Geographic]]. |
| 16 | |
| 17 | The subscription-based service, which is intended to be more affordable than Creator/{{Netflix}} for the time being,[[note]](the service can be bundled with Creator/{{Hulu}} and Creator/{{ESPN}}+ at a price identical to Netflix's most popular tier)[[/note]] has a massive library of content from across decades of film and television. The service first launched with around 500 films, and between 5000 and 7000 episodes of popular series were available to stream from the beginning. All the content on the service is programmed entirely by Disney Entertainment (through Disney Streaming) internationally, with its North American unit Walt Disney Television handling programming and distribution in that region. In August 2020, [[https://www.theverge.com/2020/8/4/21354593/mulan-release-date-disney-earnings-warner-bros-tenet-theaters it was announced that the service would also facilitate digital sales of some premium titles]], beginning with ''Film/Mulan2020'' following the film's [[UsefulNotes/CoronavirusPandemic Coronavirus related]] [[ReleaseDateChange delays]]; such titles are labelled "Premier Access" before their eventual shift to free-to-stream status. While ''Mulan'' was released exclusively on the service, 2021 Premier Access titles were simultaneously launched in theaters. Disney eventually paused this program, beginning with ''Film/ShangChiAndTheLegendOfTheTenRings''.[[note]]This decision was made at a point in the pandemic where it seemed like things had improved enough that theater-exclusive releases could safely resume, but when the infamous Delta variant of the virus first gained prominence, Disney was in a situation where it couldn't legally delay the film and/or offer it in the program at that point. With the success of ''Shang-Chi'', Disney subsequently committed to giving all remaining 2021 titles an exclusive theatrical window & likely won't revive the program unless need be. Also due to licensing issues and preexisting contracts, Creator/TwentiethCenturyStudios titles were initially banned from being eligible for the program until Disney was able to work out a deal with HBO that basically lifted that legal barrier several months earlier than expected, as explained below.[[/note]] |
| 18 | |
| 19 | In a manner similar to Creator/{{Netflix}} and Creator/{{Max}}, Disney+ pushes heavily for original and exclusive content, drawing from all possible angles: live-action adaptations and remakes of various works, new shows based off of highly popular franchises such as ''Franchise/StarWars'' and the Franchise/MarvelCinematicUniverse, plus brand new material. |
| 20 | |
| 21 | While there is a much greater degree of creative freedom than what's normally allowed on network TV, Disney initially made it a point that R-rated and TV-MA franchises would not be featured on the service in the United States. Instead, anything above PG-13 and lower level TV-14 (and, in some cases, even PG-13 and TV-14 content) that happens to pertain to Disney would be offloaded to Creator/{{Hulu}} (a service that they have a majority stake in, and will fully own in 2024) to help preserve the service's image of being family-friendly.[[note]]Until mid-2021, most new non-R-rated 20th Century content could not have their pay-one windows on either service in the US, due to contracts made pre-acquisition with Creator/{{HBO}} that were set to run through mid-2022. Some movies from that label were made available on international versions of Disney+, though. In 2021, a deal between Disney and HBO was announced that would allow half of 20th Century and Creator/SearchlightPictures' slate, beginning with ''WesternAnimation/RonsGoneWrong'', to be made available simultaneously on Max and either Disney+ or Hulu, in exchange for extending HBO's license to the end of 2022 and shrinking the amount of time HBO had to wait to premiere each film.[[/note]] Disney later relaxed those rules for a few titles, mainly to keep all of their Marvel titles on one platform. In March 2022, the service added the MCU's ''Defenders'' sub-franchise of TV series formerly distributed by Netflix (consisting of ''Series/{{Daredevil|2015}}'', ''Series/{{Jessica Jones|2015}}'', ''Series/{{Luke Cage|2016}}'', ''Series/{{Iron Fist|2017}}'', ''Series/{{The Punisher|2017}}'', and ''Series/{{The Defenders|2017}}''—all rated TV-MA). The service also rolled out updated parental controls, with mature content disabled by default. On July 22, 2022, ''Film/{{Deadpool|2016}}'', ''Film/{{Logan}}'', and ''Film/Deadpool2'' were the first R-rated movies to stream on the service in the US, while in November 2023, ''Series/{{Echo|2024}}'' was announced to be the first Disney+ Original to carry a TV-MA rating.[[note]]Originally, a non-Marvel movie, ''Film/KissOfTheDragon'', was going to become the first R-rated film to stream on Disney+ in the US in April 2022, but that decision was later reversed[[/note]] Prior to those, Disney found itself on the losing end of fights with Creator/PeterJackson and Apple Corps to tone down the language of ''Series/TheBeatlesGetBack'' (particularly the "[[PrecisionFStrike f-bombs]]", which would normally merit an R or TV-MA rating), which became the first Disney+ program to get ContentWarnings for language. |
| 22 | |
| 23 | Outside of the United States, Disney, which acquired the [[Creator/{{Star|DisneyPlus}} STAR]] brand in its purchase of 21st Century Fox, is utilizing that label to introduce more adult-oriented content, including programming from [[Creator/FXNetworks FX]] and Creator/{{Hulu}}, into Disney+. In India, where the Hotstar brand is well-established, Disney+ was launched as the merged platform Disney+ Hotstar -- currently the only version of the service to carry significant third-party content, as Hotstar carried Indian distribution rights for programming from Creator/{{HBO}} (until May 2023), Creator/{{Showtime}} and more.[[note]]Hotstar existed in the United States and other territories as an Indian-content-focused service. It went dark in November 2021, with its sports content moving to ESPN and the rest shifting to Hulu.[[/note]] The Disney+ Hotstar brand and platform was also used to launch the service in Indonesia in 2020, and in Malaysia and Thailand in 2021, and will be used possibly in Vietnam at a later time, with local content from those regions as well. In Canada, Europe, Singapore, East Asia, and Oceania, Star launched as a hub within Disney+ in 2021, alongside a price increase in four of these regions.[[note]]Possibly due to preexisting licensing agreements with 21CF content in that region before Disney purchased them, Latin America receives STAR as a separate service, STAR+ with sports from ESPN.[[/note]] In Arab countries, Disney+ content was available through a partnership with OSN (Orbit Showtime Network) until 2022. A Hotstar-based Disney+ platform known as simply "Disney+" was later used to launch the service in South Africa, Arab countries and Israel in mid-2022 and in the Philippines in November 2022. |
| 24 | |
| 25 | Starting in 2022, titles from Creator/SonyPictures' film and TV catalogues will appear on the service in many international regions such as the UK, Europe, Japan and Asia. This was a result of a deal signed in 2021 that mostly covers the US but has largely expanded to international regions through a separate deal. |
| 26 | |
| 27 | In May 2023, similar to what was done at Max, the service (and Hulu) began a massive purge of much of its lower-performing original content (including most library content), removing many movies and shows from legal public availability. In the same month, it was announced the service in the US would be merged with Hulu's content, though Hulu would continue to exist as a standalone service as well. That same year, Disney+ announced that it would gradually add a number of restored WesternAnimation/ClassicDisneyShorts in the remaining months of 2023 as part of a restoration project which coincides with the company-wide [=Disney100=] celebration as well as a ''WesternAnimation/{{Cinderella}}'' [=4K=] restoration[[note]]The same restoration used on [=4K=] Ultra HD prints of the film, also to coincide with [=Disney100=][[/note]] on August 27 of that year, as part of World Princess Day. On December of that year, [=Disney+=] began its integration with Hulu with via a beta launch that combined most of the stuff on Hulu to their platform, meaning you can watch kid-friendly stuff like ''WesternAnimation/MickeyMouseClubhouse'' and hardcore gore filled shows like ''Anime/AttackOnTitan'' and ''WesternAnimation/RickAndMorty''. [[NotMakingThisUpDisclaimer Yes, seriously]]. For reference, Creator/IanJonesQuartey[[note]]whose show, ''WesternAnimation/OKKOLetsBeHeroes'' was on there, [[FauxHorrific to everybody's horror]][[/note]] [[https://twitter.com/ianjq/status/1732436944561545331?t=QLHGuaILoiu642HVcM8H9g&s=19 noted this and said it was weird]]. On March 27, 2024, Disney+ officially launched its integration with Hulu, which coincided with a redesigned brand identity for the service moving forward, complete with a new color scheme that unifies both services together. In Latin America, Disney would shutter [=STAR+=] and move their content to Disney+ in June of that year. |

| 470 | %%However: As with all Creator/ pages, items that could go on a specific work's trivia page go there, not here. |
| 471 | [[folder:A-D]] |
| 472 | * AppointmentTelevision: Unlike Creator/{{Netflix}}, which releases new seasons at once to encourage BingeWatching, Disney+ releases new episodes on a weekly basis every Wednesday at 12 AM PST (or late hours of Tuesday), mainly to build sustained hype. [[DemandOverload This has led to the service frequently experiencing crashes during that time because of the high demand for certain shows]] like ''Series/WandaVision''.[[note]]Weekly shows originally had their episodes premiere on Fridays until June 2021, when Disney decided to have ''Loki'''s premiere and release schedule fall on a Wednesday to avoid direct overlap with ''Black Widow''. The success of that decision convinced them to release all future weekly episodic content for the platform on Wednesdays from there on out.[[/note]] |
| 473 | * AspectRatioSwitch: |
| 474 | ** Some Franchise/MarvelCinematicUniverse films (and WesternAnimation/{{Lightyear}}) include the option to watch 'IMAX Enhanced' versions that expand the aspect ratio, with fixed scope (2:39:1) versions available as well. |
| 475 | ** Some of Disney+'s own original series have aspect ratio switches, including episodes of ''Series/TheMandalorian'' and ''Series/{{Loki|2021}}''. |
| 476 | * BadExportForYou: |
| 477 | ** India's, Indonesia's, Thailand's and Malaysia's version of Disney+ is done through a partnership with Disney-owned Hotstar, a separate streaming service. The only exception is Singapore who got the real Disney+, and the Philippines, who gets the same version of Disney+ as the Arab world, Israel and South Africa. This means most South-East Asians will need to sign up for Hotstar to get Disney+ content and there is no way for them to get it otherwise. Also, because the account server is technically Hotstar's and not Disney's, your international Disney+ account will not work on it, but so will the Disney+ Hotstar one will also not work outside the region. And due to it being a separate app from the real Disney+, it will not work with the button on the Platform/PlayStation5's media remote. And then there's the fact that you need a cellphone number to sign up for the service- unlike the real Disney+ which uses your e-mail address, Hotstar's system instead uses the brain-dead notion of your cellphone number being your account ID- don't own a cellphone? No Disney+ for you. Lastly, Hotstar's version of the service is more prone to censorship as compared to regular Disney+ (for example, India's services blocked one episode of ''Last Week Tonight with John Oliver'' just because it was critical towards the Indian Prime Minister). And speaking of Disney+ Hotstar... |
| 478 | *** Disney+ Hotstar subscribers in Asia aside from Indonesia and India gets it extra bad in that subscription plans are offered only in quarterly chunks (in Malaysia, a subscription clocks in at 55 Malaysian Ringgits every three months)[[note]]An annual payment option was rumored to be part of the plans when it appeared after some dataminers managed to gain access to the pre-production version of the Malaysian section of the Hotstar website before the service's official launch, but all mention of it was scrapped when the service finally went live[[/note]], with no sign in sight of a more affordable monthly subscription plan. While the pricing works out to be way cheaper in the long run, this is coming at a bad time where the Malaysian economy is on a slump due to the Coronavirus pandemic ruining businesses left and right, with many companies cutting pay or outright laying off employees en-masse, and paying that much money upfront is difficult to justify. This is also true in many other Asian countries due to the pandemic. [[note]][=RM55=] is often said to be enough money to get you through breakfast, lunch ''and'' dinner for a whole week in Malaysia, assuming you're fine with eating nothing but ''nasi lemak'' and drinking just tap water three times a day for five days- that's how bad the Malaysian economy is right now.[[/note]]. Additionally, only credit cards, debit cards[[note]]A payment form that is a hybrid between a bank card and prepaid credit card[[/note]] and Apple Pay is accepted. Many Malaysians who prefer paying straight from their online banking solution, using Play Store subscriptions, using their cellphone plan or using gift cards, are left out in the dust. |
| 479 | *** Additionally, as expected, there are huge gaps in the show list, a large chunk of the Disney Afternoon lineup are missing from the service in Malaysia & Thailand despite them having aired on Media Prima's [=TV3=] in Malaysia and Thailand's Channel 7 (Bangkok Broadcasting Television (BBTV)) throughout the 90s, and ditto for the Playhouse Disney-era materials (except the ones that were carried over to Disney Junior such as WesternAnimation/{{Mickey Mouse Clubhouse}}) despite Playhouse Disney being available in Malaysia and Thailand since 2003 up until the rebrand to Disney Junior, shows like Series/BearInTheBigBlueHouse and WesternAnimation/PBAndJOtter were no-shows on the service despite them being available over Playhouse Disney when the channel launched in Asia (however, these two shows were finally made available worldwide in October 2022). Yes, the gap is slowly being filled at a steady pace as time goes on, but still not as fast as most people would like it, considering that the shows missing are readily available on the real Disney+ which Singapore is getting. And there are glaring errors too- WesternAnimation/MyFriendsTiggerAndPooh, upon being added, has the episode navigation for it's first three episodes ''mangled''[[note]]selecting the first episode causes the ''second'' episode to play, selecting the second episode causes the ''third'' episode to play, and selecting the third episode causes the ''first'' episode to play[[/note]]. And to top it all off, season 2 onwards dropped off the service a few weeks after the show was added for no discernable reason. |
| 480 | *** On the YMMV side, the service also has a lot of local Asian content injected into it, earning the ire of people who don't want these kind of content but feel like they're being forced to pay for it anyway if they want Disney+ Hotstar. Disney+ Hotstar is mainly a option for skipping theatrical releases for Asia's big-budget movies to streaming (due to the ongoing restrictions in the world). On that note... |
| 481 | *** Disney+ Hotstar does not have Premier Access compared to the real deal. Owing to the ongoing restrictions in Malaysia where the government ordered all cinemas shut down until further notice, many Marvel fans in Malaysia are extremely ''pissed'' that they don't get to watch ''Film/{{Black Widow|2021}}'' and ''Film/ShangChiAndTheLegendOfTheTenRings'' (was released in theaters in that region on October 7, 2021)[[note]]Although the latter isn't on Premier Access in most countries either, not getting it in Malaysia is angering many Malaysian Chinese communities. The same can be said for Mulan the year before[[/note]]. This is due to Disney+ Hotstar Multiplex, the Premier Access equivalent in India for Bollywood streaming releases, not being implemented in the Disney+ Hotstar of Malaysia, Indonesia and Thailand, but made worse in Malaysia due to cinemas being closed by government mandates. In Indonesia and Thailand, cinemas are still allowed to operate as usual. |
| 482 | *** Shows and movies on Disney+ Hotstar cap off at 1080p and Dolby DTS 5.1, compared to the real Disney+ where movies are available at resolutions up to 4K UHD with HDR and Dolby Atmos audio- To be fair, the price of 4K [=TVs=] are still somewhat high in Malaysia & India and few people own [=4K TVs=] and Atmos-capable amplifiers, but it's still a disappointment. |
| 483 | *** As a proverbial middle finger to non-Muslims in Malaysia, many Disney+ Hotstar Malaysia shows do not have Chinese and Tamil subtitles, and Chinese and Tamil shows aside, no dub. Most shows in their library only has English and Malay dubs and subs. And all complains made to date are only met with an automated "the programming department has been notified" canned reply. |
| 484 | *** [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking And to top it all off]], there is a permanent Hotstar or Disney+ watermark (Depending on whether you're watching something from the Disney+ section or something else) on the top right corner of the screen visible at all times, ostensibly there due to the region's reputation as a pirate haven and the presence of the watermark is ostensibly to help track the origin of pirated materials, but is a genuine concern for anyone planning to use the service with a screen where burn-in can happen (for example, those planning to jerry-rig a [=ChromeCast=] to a CRT TV and watch the old movies for nostalgia reasons). This was also inspired by Disney's anti-piracy system for its home videos outside the US and Canada which lasts until today. It's unknown when Disney might stop selling discs outside of the remaining Asian countries since the decay of VCD's and DVD's in the region and the rise of digital downloads. |
| 485 | ** The Japanese edition of the service, while being an upgrade/rebrand from the former Disney Deluxe service, will not let you use your international Disney+ account on it while in Japan, meaning you will have to open a separate account for it to keep enjoying the service there. However, the Japanese Disney+ became upgraded on October 27, 2021 with the addition of the STAR section, which in turn made the old smartphone-only app there defunct (And not anymore restricted to a NTT [=DoCoMo=] account on top of that!), and opened up the service on other platforms and allowed international users to finally use the service in Japan. |
| 486 | ** Inverted in most other markets with the release of the STAR brand, which will serve to carry the mature Disney-owned titles that would otherwise be on Hulu in the United States -- or rather ''could be'' on Hulu, as many titles announced for Star aren't on Hulu yet! The pricing is also considerably cheaper in the places that integrate it in the main service than buying both Hulu and Disney+. |
| 487 | ** The South African, Israeli, Arab and Philippine versions also use the Hotstar system for various reasons, probably due to the service there being a version of Disney+ Hotstar but with the standard Disney+ branding and catalog with some few enhancements such as [=4K=] support. But like Disney+ Hotstar regions, they would sometimes have the same problems mentioned above, most heard in Israel and the Philippines, like not being able to use outside the region, some features missing, etc. |
| 488 | ** Outside of these problems, the first season (and some episodes) of ''WesternAnimation/PepperAnn'' and a majority of ''WesternAnimation/PBAndJOtter'' are the PAL[=/=]SECAM masters instead of the original NTSC ones. |
| 489 | * BannedEpisode: |
| 490 | ** ''WesternAnimation/SpiderManAndHisAmazingFriends'' is missing "The Quest of the Red Skull", which has been banned from syndication since 1999 due to prominent Nazi imagery and an appearance by UsefulNotes/AdolfHitler himself. It's available to purchase legally through other outlets, however. |
| 491 | ** Averted with the ''WesternAnimation/OneHundredAndOneDalmatiansTheSeries'' episode "Alive 'n Chicken/Prima Doggy", finally back in circulation in the US after being banned because it featured a scene of someone flying an airplane close to a building (which would have been insensitive due to the [[UsefulNotes/TheWarOnTerror September 11th attacks]]). The ''[[WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons Simpsons]]'' episode [[Recap/TheSimpsonsS9E1TheCityOfNewYorkVsHomerSimpson "The City of New York vs Homer Simpson"]], which was also pulled from syndication and international reruns after the attacks (due to the episode prominently featuring the World Trade Center, including the infamous scene of a man telling Homer that "They stick all the jerks in Tower 1"), only to return in rotation in a heavily edited form, is also present on the service completely uncut, leaving [[Recap/TheSimpsonsS3E1StarkRavingDad "Stark Raving Dad"]] as the only episode to truly be MIA. |
| 492 | *** Unfortunately, played straight with the former on Disney+ Hotstar in Malaysia- ''101 Dalmatians: The Series'' is nowhere to be seen on the service, and attempts by fans to get Disney+ Hotstar to add the show has only been met with an ambiguous canned response saying that "the programming department has been notified" but making no promises that it would be added anytime soon if at all. |
| 493 | ** Also averted for the ''WesternAnimation/{{Amphibia}}'' episode "Contagi-Anne", which was pulled from airing re-runs on Disney Channel and Disney XD in March 2020 due to the UsefulNotes/CoronavirusPandemic (''as its plot revolves around Anne faking being sick so she can skip her chores, only to discover that Hop Pop, Sprig, and Polly are legitimately sick with a deadly disease known as "The Red Leg"''). The show’s first season was added to Disney+ when the service launched a few months prior to the pandemic, but the episode remained available to stream on the service even after it was pulled from airing on TV. |
| 494 | ** ''WesternAnimation/MakeMineMusic'' is this for the Franchise/DisneyAnimatedCanon, having been left off the service entirely, most likely due to the opening segment "The Martins and the Coys" (frequently ditched off home video releases) featuring extensive gunplay. |
| 495 | ** The Indian/Asian iteration of Disney+, named Disney+ Hotstar[[labelnote:*]]a combined platform that merged the preexisting streaming service Hotstar with Disney+ features and content[[/labelnote]], drew an objection from ''[[Series/LastWeekTonightWithJohnOliver Last Week Tonight]]'' host Creator/JohnOliver, whose show is carried by the platform, for blocking an episode that heavily criticized Indian prime minister Narendra Modi and Hindu nationalist policies. |
| 496 | ** ''Series/TheMuppetShow'' is missing Chris Langham's episode, due to his [[http://cinemablend.com/television/2563173/why-three-episodes-of-the-muppet-show-are-missing-from-disney subsequently arrested for possession of child pornography]]. |
| 497 | ** The episode of ''Running Wild with [[Series/ManVsWild Bear Grylls]]'' featuring Creator/GinaCarano will not be streamed on the service due to her being fired from ''Series/TheMandalorian'' for her controversial tweets. |
| 498 | ** The ''Series/AdventuresInWonderland'' episode "White Rabbits Can’t Jump" is still excluded from the lineup due to its guest star being OJ Simpson. |
| 499 | * {{Bowdlerise}}: All over the place, depending on the severity of the content and sometimes the prestige of the title. This was a noted point of controversy since it pushed the LGBT-themed ''Series/LoveVictor'' to Hulu[[note]](''the reason has been revealed to be due to teen alcohol use'')[[/note]] and ultimately terminated the planned ''Series/LizzieMcGuire'' sequel series. This may be lessened in the future due to corporate shakeups in its first year of business. General instances of this trope have their own page. |
| 500 | * BuryYourArt: |
| 501 | ** ''Film/SongOfTheSouth'', true to form, is nowhere to be seen. Disney CEO Bob Iger had stated that the film will never appear on the service under his watch... and still hasn't been released even after his departure. And since he's come back as of 2022, it's even less likely to happen. |
| 502 | ** Creator/MartinScorsese's ''Film/{{Kundun}}'', being the other buried Disney film, is not available on either Disney+ or Hulu in the US. The film is only available on Blu-ray in that region, which Disney sub-licenced to Kino Lorber instead of releasing it themselves and on other several streaming services internationally through different distributors. |
| 503 | ** ''The Simpsons'' producers' decision to pull the episode "Stark Raving Dad" from syndication and DVD/streaming releases, due to their regrets over making it in the wake of the documentary ''Leaving Neverland'' detailing child sexual abuse allegations against guest performer Music/MichaelJackson, also extends to Disney+. Said episode is only available on Google Play and the original Complete Third Season DVD set. |
| 504 | * ChannelHop: |
| 505 | ** ''WesternAnimation/StarWarsTheCloneWarsSeasonSeven'' was produced for the service. While not the first example of a series channel hopping ''from'' Netflix to another streaming service[[note]]Franchise/CareBears left Netflix and hopped back to Boomerang when they transitioned from ''Care Bears and Cousins'' to ''Care Bears: Unlock The Magic''[[/note]], This makes the show a double hopper, from Cartoon Network to Netflix to Disney+. |
| 506 | ** This service will even stream a revival of the Disney Channel series ''WesternAnimation/TheProudFamily''. ''WesternAnimation/PhineasAndFerb: Candace Against the Universe'' also premiered on the service, whereas [[WesternAnimation/PhineasAndFerbTheMovieAcrossThe2ndDimension the previous film]] (and the original series) aired on the Creator/DisneyChannel. |
| 507 | ** ''Series/TheWorldAccordingToJeffGoldblum'' was originally announced for the National Geographic cable channel in 2018, but by the time it began filming in April 2019, the Disney-Fox merger went through and it was moved to Disney+. |
| 508 | ** The UsefulNotes/CoronavirusPandemic resulted in a number of Disney's theatrical projects shifting to the service, most prominently ''Film/ArtemisFowl'', ''Theatre/{{Hamilton}}'', ''Literature/TheOneAndOnlyIvan'' and ''WesternAnimation/{{Soul}}''. ''Film/MagicCamp'' and the Disneynature documentary ''Dolphin Reef'' were also originally planned for 2018 theatrical releases, both of which were canceled before eventually being released on the service in 2020. Meanwhile, ''Film/Mulan2020'' was originally scheduled for a March release, but instead premiered on Disney+ to test the waters for its experimental pay-per-view feature while playing theatrically in countries without Disney+. Several other films were redirected to Premier Access releases in 2021; unlike ''Mulan'', these films also received global theatrical releases regardless of Disney+ availability. |
| 509 | *** ''Film/{{Clouds}}'' was also redirected to Disney+ due to Coronavirus theater shutdowns; in this case, however, the service picked up the film from Creator/WarnerBros, as opposed to an in-house transfer. |
| 510 | ** Internationally, the Italian series ''The Knights of Castelcorvo'', the Latin American series ''El Ristorantino de Arnoldo'', and the fourth season of the Malaysian series ''Club Mickey Mouse'' were planned to air on either Disney Channel or Disney Junior before moving to Disney+. In the cases of ''Castelcorvo'' and ''Club Mickey Mouse'', this was necessitated due to the shutdown of their local Disney Channels prior. |
| 511 | ** From a brand perspective, ''WesternAnimation/{{Gargoyles}}''[[note]]whose DVD releases bore the Walt Disney (Studios) Home Entertainment brand, with only the Disney Movie Club version of Season 2 Volume 2 having Disney's logo above the show's[[/note]] and ''WesternAnimation/SuperRobotMonkeyTeamHyperForceGo'', originally labeled under the Buena Vista and Jetix brands respectively (though they were produced by Disney Television Animation to begin with), now have Disney’s logo accompanying their own logos on the service. ''WesternAnimation/TheNightmareBeforeChristmas'', having been re-branded as a Disney film with the 2006 re-release, retains the Disney branding here. |
| 512 | ** While ''[[Film/Zombies2018 Z-O-M-B-I-E-S]]'' & ''Z-O-M-B-I-E-S 2'' originally premiered on Creator/DisneyChannel, ''Z-O-M-B-I-E-S 3'' instead premiered as a service exclusive, followed up by a special edition airing on the former with a bonus song and extra scenes. This also led to the latter showing up as "A Disney Original Movie" for some reason, making it look like it was made ''for both.'' The same will be said for ''Prom Pact'', which will be released on both. |
| 513 | * ContentWarning: The details section for some films originally contained a notice that a film "may contain outdated cultural depictions." Some viewers, however, felt that the warning [[https://www.engadget.com/2019/11/14/disney-outdated-cultural-depictions-warning was too vague]] and didn't adequately describe what the "outdated cultural depictions" are. The disclaimer was changed in late 2020 to specify if a film "includes negative depictions and/or mistreatment of people or cultures." There's also a disclaimer warning for any films/shows with tobacco use. ''Series/TheBeatlesGetBack'' has particularly harsh disclaimers for its language, a first for the service. |
| 514 | * CreatorBacklash: |
| 515 | ** While Premier Access didn't draw the immediate backlash from Hollywood that HBO Max's Same-Day Premieres plan did, it eventually generated severe criticism when it was used for would-be major blockbusters like ''Film/{{Black Widow|2021}}'' and ''Film/{{Cruella}}'' even as other films like ''Film/AQuietPlacePartII'' and ''Film/{{F9}}'' were opening in-theaters-only. This eventually led to a lawsuit against Disney from ''Black Widow'' star Creator/ScarlettJohansson over breach of contract (the text of which also indicated Disney had also acted against the wishes of Creator/MarvelStudios as well), with ''Cruella'' star Creator/EmmaStone allegedly considering a similar suit (though this was seemingly averted with Stone's deal to star in a sequel). |
| 516 | ** Some Creator/{{Pixar}} staff have reacted very negatively to seeing ''WesternAnimation/{{Soul}}'', ''WesternAnimation/{{Luca}}'' and ''WesternAnimation/TurningRed'' being relegated to free-to-stream status on the service when all had been intended for theatrical release; particularly ''Luca'', since, unlike ''Soul'', Coronavirus vaccinations were widely available at the time of ''Luca'''s release and several family films were getting wide releases by that point. Disney seemingly favoring Creator/WaltDisneyAnimationStudios over Pixar by giving ''WesternAnimation/RayaAndTheLastDragon'' a hybrid release, in contrast to the Pixar titles, also drew backlash. |
| 517 | ** ''WesternAnimation/StrangeWorld'' was supposed to receive a theatrical release in France, until Disney moved the film to Disney+ prior to the release of its teaser trailer, this caused an uproar against French cinema operators due to the country's release window strategies which requires films to be shown in theatres, then later on [=Canal+=] and at 17 months and they move to streaming until 22 months later when they are later shown on television. |
| 518 | * DemandOverload: Upon its US launch, the high traffic of viewers[[note]]The final count was over ten million users within that first 24 hours[[/note]] resulted in many subscribers getting error messages preventing them from logging on or viewing media. Some tech experts dispute this, however, pointing the finger at [[https://variety.com/2019/digital/news/disney-plus-launch-errors-what-went-wrong-1203402270/ poorly applied authentication systems]] that suffered too many requests. |
| 519 | * CreatorDrivenSuccessor: ''Behind the Attraction'' is essentially a clone of Netflix's ''The Toys That Made Us'' and its spinoff ''The Movies That Made Us'', using a nearly identical format as those to discuss the making of iconic Ride/DisneyThemeParks rides and locations. This is no coincidence as both are directed by Brian Volk-Weiss. |
| 520 | * DevelopersForesight: Many titles on the service include many different subtitle and audio options available worldwide. This is regardless of if a title (or even Disney+ itself) has actually been released in the relevant regions to warrant some of those options. In some cases, language options may not be available, but the descriptions, titles, and even logos are still translated. However, some texts may be subject to BlindIdiotTranslation. |
| 521 | * DigitalDestruction: |
| 522 | ** ''WesternAnimation/ChipAndDaleRescueRangers'', ''WesternAnimation/GoofTroop'', and ''[[WesternAnimation/TheLittleMermaid1992 The Little Mermaid: The Series]]'', while remastered to HD, have been cropped to widescreen on the service, despite the HD prints of the former two shows having been made available in their original 4:3 aspect ratio on iTunes [[note]]Sadly, ''The Little Mermaid: The Series'' is cropped to widescreen on ''both'' iTunes and Disney+[[/note]]. This results in a good amount of picture from the top and bottom missing from the frame. Even when Disney released the entirety of ''Rescue Rangers'' onto Blu-ray in the show's original aspect ratio in January 2022, they still haven't fixed the aspect ratio for the series on Disney+ like they did with ''The Simpsons'' (see below). Thankfully, though, the other Disney Afternoon and Creator/{{One Saturday Morning|AndABCKids}} shows retain their original 4:3 aspect ratio on the service (most notably ''WesternAnimation/TheNewAdventuresOfWinnieThePooh'', ''[[WesternAnimation/TimonAndPumbaa The Lion King's Timon and Pumbaa]]'', and ''WesternAnimation/OneHundredAndOneDalmatiansTheSeries'', all three of which are also remastered to HD on Disney+). |
| 523 | ** Similarly, the service originally used the same cropped widescreen transfers for the first 19-and-a-half seasons of ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons'' as the show's airings on Creator/{{FXX}} and Creator/{{Freeform}}, but on May 28, 2020, the show's aspect ratio was fixed, allowing subscribers to watch the older seasons of the show in uncropped HD streams. |
| 524 | ** Many 4:3 Creator/DisneyChannel Original Movies also received 16:9 hack jobs, despite Disney never remastering them in HD. |
| 525 | ** ''WesternAnimation/SuperRobotMonkeyTeamHyperForceGo'' was animated in 16:9, but is presented in pan-and-scan 4:3 on the service, matching the show's original ABC Family and Toon Disney broadcasts ([[WesternAnimation/{{Kim Possible}} many]] [[WesternAnimation/TeachersPet other]] Creator/DisneyTelevisionAnimation [[WesternAnimation/AmericanDragonJakeLong shows]] [[WesternAnimation/TheEmperorsNewSchool made]] [[WesternAnimation/PhineasAndFerb in]] [[WesternAnimation/FishHooks widescreen]] during the 2000's and early 2010's were also cropped to 4:3 for their original broadcasts, but are in their proper 16:9 aspect ratio on the service). |
| 526 | ** The ''[[WesternAnimation/StarWarsCloneWars Star Wars Clone Wars 2-D Micro Series]]'', despite being billed in high definition, uses the same standard definition master as the DVD release, which suffers from awful DVNR. And it's also cropped to widescreen as well, which is apparent by some of the words in the ending credits being clipped out at the top and bottom. |
| 527 | ** Similar to how Creator/{{Max}} treats pre-HD [[Creator/WarnerBros Warner Bros. Television]] content, all older programs that Disney hadn't already made in or remastered to high definition have been upscaled to HD on Disney+. However, this causes the live-action Disney Channel shows that were shot on videotape (such as ''Series/ThatsSoRaven'', ''Series/TheSuiteLifeOfZackAndCody'', and the pre-HD episodes of ''Series/HannahMontana'' and ''Series/WizardsOfWaverlyPlace'') to suffer frame rate drops due to deinterlacing. |
| 528 | ** ''Series/TheMuppetShow'' suffered the same de-interlacing issues above, resulting in a film-like presentation. |
| 529 | ** ''WesternAnimation/BeautyAndTheBeast'' uses the remaster from 2010 (the same master used for its 2011 [=3D=] theatrical re-release) instead of 2016, meaning the picture has a red tint, and the end of "Something There" matches the extended cut[[note]]despite "Human Again" remaining AWOL on Disney+, even from the extras page[[/note]] rather than the original. However, HDR-compatible displays can remove the red tint. |
| 530 | ** ''WesternAnimation/BeautyAndTheBeastBellesMagicalWorld'' got the framerate downconverted from its original 60 fps framerate into 24 fps, and its really, really obvious due to the already choppy animation becoming even choppier (since it was specifically done with the higher framerate in mind), especially during the CGI bridging segments. |
| 531 | ** As with the current high-definition reruns, the pre-season 21 episodes of ABC's ''Series/AmericasFunniestHomeVideos'' are cropped to 16:9, removing footage from the top and bottom screen. |
| 532 | ** Certain scenes in older animated shows have had their framerates decreased or the lighting dimmed out, likely to avert EpilepticFlashingLights possibilities in some viewers. Just one example: The ''WesternAnimation/DarkwingDuck'' episode "Tiff of the Titans" at 18:20. |
| 533 | ** From Latin America: the series ''Highway: Rolling Adventure'' is in 4:3 despite being produced in HD, like the aforementioned animated examples. Also, season 1 of ''Series/{{BIA}}'' uses the European masters, which are victim of being sped-up due to the frame rate difference between NTSC and PAL[=/=]SECAM. |
| 534 | ** The first two seasons of ''WesternAnimation/PepperAnn'' are also the sped-up European masters. However, considering the show's [[KeepCirculatingTheTapes previous fate, most fans of the show are just happy to be able to legally watch the series at all]]. The same thing happened to ''WesternAnimation/PBAndJOtter''. |
| 535 | ** The Creator/MarvelTelevision shows acquired from Creator/{{Netflix}} had their picture quality downgraded from 4K to 1080p, until Disney+ posted the 4K versions in June 2022. |

| 539 | * EarlyBirdRelease: Disney Junior shows like ''WesternAnimation/MickeyMouseFunhouse'', ''WesternAnimation/SpideyAndHisAmazingFriends'' and ''WesternAnimation/TheChickenSquad'' are added to Disney+ in the US 5-10 weeks after the episodes run on Disney Junior and [=DisneyNow=]. |
| 540 | * EasterEgg: The website's HTML source code includes this quote: |
| 541 | ->"We keep moving forward, opening up new doors and\ |

| 543 | and curiosity keeps leading us down new paths." |
| 544 | -->Creator/WaltDisney |
| 545 | * EditedForSyndication: |
| 546 | ** ''WesternAnimation/PhineasAndFerb [[ChristmasEpisode Christmas Vacation!]]'' was originally presented as the abbreviated international version that was broadcast on ABC and ABC Family, rather than the full length original version that most other outlets used. The service eventually corrected this while they tried to rearrange the show's episodes in production order. However, special episodes like "Summer Belongs to You" are split into two parts, and have a couple jokes edited out. |
| 547 | *** The master of ''[[WesternAnimation/PhineasAndFerbTheMovieAcrossThe2ndDimension Across the Second Dimension]]'' is the original television edit, with some fades to black for commercial breaks and a different end credit sequence from the DVD version. |
| 548 | ** ''WesternAnimation/BeautyAndTheBeastBellesMagicalWorld'' received its shortest cut yet; the "Mrs. Potts' Party" segment added exclusively for the [=DVDs=] has disappeared again, and Disney+ also halved the number of songs by removing "A Little Thought". |
| 549 | ** A couple of episodes of Disney Afternoon shows retain the edits made to them for reruns. |
| 550 | *** The ''WesternAnimation/ChipNDaleRescueRangers'' episode "Puffed Rangers" is the rerun version which redubs the [[AsianSpeekeeEngrish stereotypical Asian accents]] of the villains to be less offensive, and changes a number of jokes about China and Chinese culture eventualy deemed to be in bad taste. |
| 551 | *** The ''WesternAnimation/DarkwingDuck'' episode "Double Darkwings" is the reanimated version where Jambalaya Jake gets Darkwing's attention by pouring super-spicy gumbo down a telephone line instead of having his alligator Gumbo electrocute himself by biting the power lines of a high-tension tower. |
| 552 | ** ''Treasures Untold: The Making of WesternAnimation/{{The Little Mermaid|1989}}''[[note]]the main documentary of all ''Little Mermaid'' {{Limited Special Collectors Ultimate Edition}}s from the 2006 Platinum Edition DVD onwards[[/note]] only saw one of its six acts make it to Disney+ -- Act IV. |
| 553 | ** ''WesternAnimation/SchoolhouseRock'' has the same edits made for Disney's VHS and DVD compilations: no theme song, no end credits, and no use of the phrase, "the greatest show on Earth", in "The Weather Show" (the lyric previously got the ''SHR'' team in legal trouble with Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus). "Electricity, Electricity" also had its flashing effects toned down by removing frames from the troublesome scenes. |
| 554 | ** The ''Film/IronMan1'' documentary ''I Am Iron Man'' came to Disney+ lacking the chapters "The Walk of Destruction" and "It's All in the Details". |
| 555 | ** ''Series/AmericasFunniestHomeVideos'' episodes are edited to drop montages featuring non-PublicDomain music (which turn up OnceAnEpisode), such as the one set to Creator/DavidBowie's "Fame" from the "No Business in Show Business" two-part show. (The DVD release of Tom Bergeron's first season as host did the same thing, the sole exception being a CoverVersion of Music/RickyMartin's "Shake Your Bon-Bon".) |
| 556 | ** Inverted for ''WesternAnimation/TheProudFamilyMovie'', which runs longer on Disney+ than in its first Disney Channel airing, due to it being the extended cut that was exclusive to its DVD release. |
| 557 | ** Averted by the ''Series/{{Dinosaurs}}'' episode "A New Leaf". Mr. Richfield singing the Music/JimiHendrix song "Purple Haze" was replaced with alternate footage with an original song when the show was streamed on Creator/{{Netflix}}, [=WatchABC=]/ABC.com and Creator/{{Hulu}}, but the original scene is intact on here. |
| 558 | ** A handful of ''Series/TheMuppetShow'' episodes have skits removed, presumably for music rights reasons. For example, the theme to ''Series/SesameStreet'' is cut from the Creator/MartyFeldman episode due to legal issues with Creator/SesameWorkshop. Averted by the Season 1 episodes that were edited on DVD for music rights issues, which are all presented intact on Disney+. |
| 559 | ** Surprisingly averted for ''Film/HighSchoolMusical2''. The version used on Disney+ is the "extended edition" used on the DVD and [[Creator/{{Apple}} iTunes]] releases of the film, rather than the original final cut. As such, many who didn't own the film on the prior formats wound up seeing "Humuhumunukunukuapua'a" for the first time. |
| 560 | * FamousFamousFictional: Inverted. In most of the online ads that feature characters representing each studio, the typical order is [[{{WesternAnimation/Moana}} Moana or Maui]] (Disney), [[Franchise/TheIncredibles Mr. Incredible or Elastigirl]] (Pixar), Iron Man or Captain America (Marvel), Darth Vader or Rey (''Franchise/StarWars''), and Creator/JeffGoldblum (National Geographic). Suffice it to say that fans of the quirky actor were amused. |
| 561 | * FollowTheBouncingBall: Some of the movies have sing-along options either on their own pages, or in the Extras section. |
| 562 | * FollowTheLeader: |
| 563 | ** It's an open secret that Disney+ came to be because Disney saw how much success Creator/{{Netflix}} had, how big streaming had become, and how popular their own movies and shows on Netflix were, and decided they wanted their own stake in the market. Some even suggest that the service began development after Netflix rejected Disney's offer to buy them out. |
| 564 | ** It's one of several streaming services to use the '+' symbol, after FX+ in 2018 (which was discontinued following its purchase by Disney) and Creator/AppleTVPlus. Creator/ParamountPlus (a rebrand of CBS All Access), MGM+ (a rebrand of Amazon's Epix service), Lionsgate+ (a rebrand of Creator/{{Starz}} outside of North America) and even non-streaming services like [=Walmart+=] (a counterpart to Amazon Prime) would follow (The spiritual grandfather of this trend is Canal+, the French pay channel founded in 1984 which also branched off with Creator/StudioCanal). |
| 565 | * GeorgeLucasAlteredVersion: |
| 566 | ** The 4K restorations of the ''Franchise/StarWars'' films feature the same edits as post-Special Edition releases, but yet ''another'' infamous change was made to the Han-Greedo confrontation scene in ''Film/ANewHope'' where Greedo shouts "Ma klounkee!" before firing. Disney confirmed that Creator/GeorgeLucas himself made the change before the franchise was sold to Disney, during the restoration process. The ''New Hope'' Ultimate Collector's Edition UHD set, released after Disney+'s launch, also uses this version, on both the 4K and the 1080p discs. |
| 567 | ** ''Film/EmpireOfDreams'' uses an edit that makes some minor changes from the original 2004 DVD release. |
| 568 | ** ''Film/DarbyOGillAndTheLittlePeople'' is the re-release version that redubbed the thicker Irish accents out rather then the original cut seen on DVD. |
| 569 | * GuestFighter: Some user icons include non-Disney characters such as ''WesternAnimation/PJMasks'', WesternAnimation/{{Bluey}}, and oddly enough, an animated avatar of Music/BillieEilish (For her ''Better Than Ever'' music special in the service). |
| 570 | * InterfaceSpoiler: If one [[https://twitter.com/Corey_WolfPack/status/1196875054811897856 hovers]] over the menu selection for ''WesternAnimation/StarWarsTheCloneWars'', the preview footage playing gives away some major spoilers that happen late in the show such as [[spoiler:Maul and Savage fighting Sidious and Ahsoka leaving the Jedi Order]]. |
| 571 | * KillerApp: |
| 572 | ** In terms of original programming, the big one at launch is ''Series/TheMandalorian''. Notably, it tends to crop up in the service's "Trending" section much more frequently than most Disney+ original series, even the Marvel shows. |
| 573 | ** The addition of ''Theatre/{{Hamilton}}'' became such a big deal, that Disney stopped giving out free Disney+ trials about a week before it dropped. |
| 574 | ** ''Film/{{Mulan|2020}}'' also led to a boost in the app's downloads, given the previously theatrical release was moved there for a premium. ''Film/{{Black Widow|2021}}'' would later outperform ''Mulan'' on the service despite a simultaneous theatrical release. |
| 575 | ** Subsequent ''Star Wars'' and Marvel shows continue the trend. |

| 577 | ** In November 2019, Disney+ launched in the USA, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, the Netherlands... and that was it. Most Western European countries outside of the Netherlands had to wait until March or September 2020 to get Disney+, to say nothing of the rest of the world (for example, Japan, which probably has the biggest non-American Disney fandom, only got it in June 2020, but didn't get the true updated version until 2021). It's especially problematic given the hype and coverage of its current {{cash cow|franchise}} show, ''Series/TheMandalorian'', in an age of worldwide launches for big new TV shows, and it's frustrating for fans who don't live in one of the five countries where it launched first and take big spoilers in the face on clickbait news sites or through memes on social media. And when the service did launch internationally, viewers in those countries still had to get the first season one episode per week, even though the whole season had been released in countries where the service first launched. Also, it's also weird considering [[SpoiledByTheMerchandise merch that involves a major spoiler]] of said show (namely, toys and T-shirts of Grogu) would be available for Christmas 2019 in some of the countries that didn't have Disney+ yet. Some resort to using [=VPNs=] to get Disney+ and, on a more concerning note, others use [[DigitalPiracyIsEvil illegal]] [[KeepCirculatingTheTapes means]].[[note]]The fact that Disney+ already had dubs in just about every language even helped international fans with that![[/note]] Some media commentators directly relate massive piracy of ''The Mandalorian'' to the release delays of the service. Disney initially planned to mitigate this issue with their initial bid for Fox's assets, which included large shares in the telecommunications company Sky, which would have helped expand Disney+'s international reach at launch. However, Comcast had a counter-bid for Fox that specifically targeted Sky; after Disney raised their bid and agreed to divest the Sky shares, Comcast purchased those, giving them an edge for their own plans for streaming and putting Disney at a comparative disadvantage. |
| 578 | ** If you think Singapore got it bad in the waiting game, the rest of South-East Asia had it worse, with over a four month gap between Singapore and the next Asian country. Couple with the fact that only Singapore will be receiving the real Disney+ will the rest of Asia will be receiving the inferior Disney+ Hotstar... (The Philippines only got nearly lucky as their Disney+ is the same as the Arab/Israeli/South African version.) And then, there's Far East Asia, Eastern Europe, the Middle East, Africa and (if that happens) the former Soviet countries (outside of Russia and Belarus)... |
| 579 | ** And even when the service would finally launch in a market, there were still issues with its library. Original shows would premiere in the same weekly format as the U.S., which did not please any locals, and catalog titles would not launch in all countries at the same time, despite pre-existing (or [[SavedByTheNetwork in some cases]] newly-made) dubbing or subtitles being available elsewhere. |
| 580 | ** This also applies to the shows on Disney+ Hotstar. Some shows like Marvel's ''Hit Monkey'' is delayed by over a month. While Disney+ got the show on Thanksgiving 2021, Disney+ Hotstar didn't get the show until December 27, 2021. |
| 581 | ** International productions have fallen into the habit of releasing in select regions first before continuing with their worldwide rollouts some time afterwards. Asian Originals such as ''Snowdrop'', ''Soundtrack No. 1'' and ''Delicacies Destiny'' release in a weekly format in the Asia-Pacific region first before releasing the entire season elsewhere afterwards (and some don't end up in the US, instead going to Creator/{{Hulu}}). Latin American Originals such as ''It Was Always Me'' and ''All the Same... Or Not'' take around a month or two to launch outside of their initial regions.[[note]]Spanish-language Originals premiere in Spain and in Latin America/Brazil at the same time.[[/note]] |
| 582 | ** Physical releases of Disney+ original shows take a few months longer to reach the UK than they do in North America. |
| 583 | * MilestoneCelebration: |
| 584 | ** "Disney+ Day", a.k.a. November 12, which began two years after the service's launch. For the first celebration, the service celebrated with a large content dump including ''Film/ShangChiAndTheLegendOfTheTenRings'', ''Film/JungleCruise'' (free to all subscribers), ''Olaf Presents'', ''[[Series/Intertwined2021 Intertwined]]''[[note]]Except for Japan, Korea, Taiwan, and Hong Kong, which would all recieve the series around the end of 2021.[[/note]], season 2 of ''Series/TheWorldAccordingToJeffGoldblum'', [[WesternAnimation/CiaoAlberto shorts]] [[WesternAnimation/TheSimpsonsInPlusaversary from]] ''WesternAnimation/{{Luca}}'' and ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons'', new exclusive film ''Film/HomeSweetHomeAlone'', and special presentations/documentaries from Creator/MarvelStudios and ''Franchise/StarWars''. |
| 585 | ** For the 100th anniversary of Disney as a whole, Disney+ upgraded ''WesternAnimation/SnowWhiteAndTheSevenDwarfs'' to 4K on October 16, 2023, exactly a century after the studio's founding. |
| 586 | * MissingEpisode: |
| 587 | ** ''WesternAnimation/MakeMineMusic'' is the only hand-drawn Franchise/DisneyAnimatedCanon film currently unavailable on Disney+, likely because of the PlayedForLaughs gunplay in the opening segment "Martins and the [=McCoys=]" (this short was also missing from the film's North American 2000 Gold Classic Collection VHS and DVD, as well as the 2021 Disney Movie Club-exclusive Blu-ray). |
| 588 | ** ''Series/TheSuiteLifeOfZackAndCody'', season 1, episode 18, "Smart and Smarter", isn't available due to the controversy surrounding the episode's plot (Zack faking having dyslexia so he will get lighter school work). The Season 3 episode "Doin' Time in Suite 2330" is also not available, as it has been banned from the networks and linear streaming services since Chris Brown assaulted Rihanna (however, it is still available for purchase on services such as Amazon Prime Video and iTunes). |
| 589 | ** Roughly half of ''Series/AndiMack'' is missing due to recurring cast member Stoney Westmoreland (Henry Mack) being charged with (and subsequently terminated by the network for) soliciting a minor. This hits season 1 the most, reducing it to ''only two episodes''. The excised episodes are still available on [=iTunes=] and the like. |
| 590 | ** A few shows from the Disney Afternoon era have missing episodes. ''WesternAnimation/DarkwingDuck'' still has its BannedEpisode "Hot Spells" missing[[note]]In a twist of irony tho, "Hot Spells" is present on Disney+ Hotstar when they added the show[[/note]]. The same goes for ''WesternAnimation/TaleSpin'' and its episodes "Last Horizons" and "Flying Dupes", even though they were both released on DVD[[note]]However, a good chunk of Talespin is missing from the Hotstar version of Disney+ - only '''the first 15 episodes''' are available on the service[[/note]]. ''WesternAnimation/TheLittleMermaid1992'' is missing its pilot episode "Whale of a Tale"[[note]](aka the one that introduces Spot)[[/note]] even though "Save the Whale" (season 2, episode 5)[[note]](Spot’s second appearance)[[/note]] remains. ''WesternAnimation/DuckTales1987'' was initially missing [[Recap/DuckTalesS2E2SuperDuckTales "Frozen Assets"]], despite being Part 2 of the Gizmo-Duck five-parter, [[SubvertedTrope though it was later added]]. [[Recap/DuckTalesS1E33SphinxForTheMemories "Sphinx for the Memories"]] and [[Recap/DuckTalesS1E52LaunchpadsCivilWar "Launchpad's Civil War"]] are missing, though. ''Have Yourself a Goofy Little Christmas'', the ''WesternAnimation/GoofTroop'' Christmas special, isn't technically considered an episode of the series and is thus left out. ''WesternAnimation/{{Bonkers}}'' averts this however, with the plot-important "New Partners on the Block" being left intact, as is the ''WesternAnimation/{{Hercules|The Animated Series}}'' episode "Hercules and the Hostage Crisis". |
| 591 | ** Near the end of 2019, the entire second season of ''Series/SoWeird'' disappeared for several weeks. |
| 592 | ** While all theatrical ''Film/TheLoveBug'' films are present, neither of the TV projects are (the 1982 miniseries and the 1997 TV movie). |
| 593 | ** ''WesternAnimation/TheProudFamily'': "Don't Leave Home Without It" (season 1, episode 11) didn't make it to Disney+ until July or August 2022, likely due to music licensing issues involving the Music/DestinysChild song "Independent Women (Part 1)". Fortunately, the streamer managed to retain the song, albeit without including the lyrics in the English captions.[[note]]The captions for at least one other ''Proud Family'' episode do transcribe the licensed music, with "Spelling Bee" sharing the lyrics to Music/TheJacksonFive's "A-B-C".[[/note]] |
| 594 | ** Three episodes of ''Series/OutOfTheBox'' ("Let's Eat Out", "The Gift", and "Treasures") are absent from the service. |
| 595 | ** ''WesternAnimation/TheReplacements '' takes this up to eleven, as its '''entire second season''' (in other words, '''31''' of the show’s 52 episodes) is absent from the service for reasons not made publicly available. This means that iTunes is the only reliable place to legally check out the remainder of the show’s run, [[KeepCirculatingTheTapes since the series wasn’t given any proper physical or digital releases prior to its 2019 iTunes collections]]. |
| 596 | ** ''Film/TheMuppetsTakeManhattan'' and ''Film/MuppetsFromSpace'' are the only theatrical Muppet films to be missing, as both are currently under Creator/SonyPictures' ownership; the former was distributed by Creator/TriStarPictures rather than ITC, which was in serious financial straits at the time, and thus wasn't included in Disney's acquisition of the Muppet license (though the Jim Henson Company does retain co-ownership). The latter was produced by Jim Henson Pictures, both the short-lived film division of Henson and a joint venture between them and distributor Creator/ColumbiaPictures' parent company, Sony. The direct-to-video ''Film/KermitsSwampYears'' is also owned by Sony, since it was distributed by Columbia [=TriStar=] Home Entertainment. |
| 597 | ** ''WesternAnimation/SchoolhouseRock'' lacks the first Scooter Computer and Mr. Chips song, which Disney doesn't have a video master of[[note]]none of their VHS tapes or [=DVDs=] had this song, either. The only known copy of the first music video is in the hands of Scooter's voice actor, Darrell Stern.[[/note]], "Presidential Minute", which ABC didn't originally air under the ''SHR'' title, and all of the segments written especially for 2009's ''Schoolhouse Rock! Earth'' DVD. |
| 598 | ** ''Series/SmartGuy'': "Don't Do That Thing You Do" (season 1, episode 4) is absent from the service until 2023, because of music licensing issues involving co-star Jason Weaver's "I Don't Know Why" (the main plot involving Marcus [played by Weaver, who sang the song from his 1996 EP "Stay with Me" in the episode] and T.J. [played by series lead Tahj Mowry] hinges on a performance of the song, and an impromptu keyboard solo by T.J. within it, during a "Battle of the Bands" performance by the former's band Mackadocious). |
| 599 | ** In addition to the Chris Langham episode mentioned above, ''Series/TheMuppetShow'' is also missing the Creator/BrookeShields episode, due to music rights issues (but it would be restored in the future) (the ending hinges on a performance of "We're Off to See the Wizard" from ''Film/TheWizardOfOz''; cutting it would mutilate the scene). Disney+ UK/Europe is missing the Music/JohnDenver and Creator/SpikeMilligan episodes, again for unknown reasons. |
| 600 | ** In mid-2021, ''WesternAnimation/SpiderManTheAnimatedSeries'' was temporarily unavailable on the service so the episodes could be correctly re-ordered. The show returned after about a week. |
| 601 | ** Due to rights issues with Universal and Sony over ''Film/TheIncredibleHulk2008'' and the ''Film/SpiderManHomeTrilogy'', the American branch of Disney+ didn't have the complete Infinity Saga until 2023; they finally posted ''Film/SpiderManHomecoming'' in April, ''The Incredible Hulk'' in June, and ''Film/SpiderManFarFromHome'' in November. |
| 602 | %%Please refrain from adding anything about ''Spider-Man: No Way Home'' to the above entry until we have a confirmed date for its addition to Disney+; even a "It's currently unknown when they'll post ''Spider-Man: No Way Home''" will become outdated in 2024. |
| 603 | ** The first ''Film/IronMan1'' movie was unavailable in Japan and Spain until 2023 when Disney added the film to those regions. |
| 604 | ** Nine episodes of ''Series/BearInTheBigBlueHouse'' are missing. They are: "Why Bears Can't Fly", "Music to My Ears", "Working Like a Bear", "The Ojolympics", "Love Is All You Need", "And to All a Good Night", "I For-Got Rhythm!?", Part 2 of "A Berry Bear Christmas", and "A Strange Bird". |
| 605 | ** The majority of classic shorts (apart from those already on Disney+) are still not available there with many of them having last been seen on home media, such as both entries of the ''WesternAnimation/AdventuresInMusicDuology''. |

| 609 | * NetworkRedHeadedStepchild: |
| 610 | ** ''Series/TheWorldAccordingToJeffGoldblum''. Unlike most of the other Day One shows, and quite a few of the announced ones to follow, it has no obvious appeal to children and/or teens -- unless they're ''really'' interested in watching the actor who plays [[Film/ThorRagnarok the Grandmaster]] or [[Film/JurassicPark1993 Ian Malcolm]] learn about things like tattoos, jewelry, video games, and sneakers in-depth and firsthand. This is because it was developed for Creator/NationalGeographicChannel on cable before the Disney-Fox merger, with Disney+ presumably picking it up because the content ''is'' family-friendly and to capitalize on the actor's general popularity. It's also unlike most of the other Day One nonfiction shows in that it doesn't double as a promotional tool for Disney media. Even though the inaugural Disney+ promotional campaign chose it to represent the National Geographic brand (since Goldblum gave it a recognizable face), and it also ended up one of the service's first productions to be renewed for a second season, it disappeared from Disney+ in 2023. |
| 611 | ** The inclusion of ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons'' raised a few eyebrows, considering Disney+ was marketed as a family-oriented service alongside the fact that Disney also owns Hulu, where all the other adult-oriented Creator/{{Fox}} cartoons are on. |
| 612 | * NetworkToTheRescue: |
| 613 | ** Disney+ has been seen by some of having the potential of using this trope, due to examples like ''WesternAnimation/LegendOfTheThreeCaballeros'' on the service. |
| 614 | ** There's also ''WesternAnimation/StarWarsTheCloneWars'', which was canceled in 2013 before getting renewed for a seventh and final season released on the service. |
| 615 | ** And then there's the potential of Disney+ rescuing shows from KeepCirculatingTheTapes territory, such as ''WesternAnimation/{{Gargoyles}}''. This has even happened with certain obscure Playhouse Disney[=/=]Disney Junior children's shows, such as ''Series/OutOfTheBox'' and ''Series/TheBookOfPooh''. |
| 616 | ** There are also cases where Disney+ saved shows from NoExportForYou territory, with some examples being... |
| 617 | *** Shows that had dubs already but never released in a certain country prior (''Series/TheMuppets2015'' in Spain) |
| 618 | *** Shows that are being translated exclusively for the service (''WesternAnimation/TheProudFamily'' receiving dubs for many countries after two decades) |
| 619 | *** Shows that had only partially aired in a certain country before having their run interrupted (the British series ''The Evermoor Chronicles'' being officially released in the United States and Canada after already having aired the pilot miniseries) |
| 620 | ** In January 2021, it was announced that the entire run of ''Series/TheMuppetShow'' would be made available on February 19, making Seasons 4 and 5 legally available again. (Disney's [=DVD=] releases stopped with Season Three in 2008.) |
| 621 | ** In March 2021, it was announced that a number of ''[[Franchise/StarWarsLegends Star Wars: The Complete Vintage Animated Collection]]'' material that had [[KeepCirculatingTheTapes been out of circulation for some time]] would be coming to the service the following month, including ''[[Film/StarWarsEwokAdventures Caravan of Courage: An Ewok Adventure]]'', ''[[Film/StarWarsEwokAdventures Ewoks: The Battle for Endor]]'', ''WesternAnimation/{{Ewoks}}'', ''WesternAnimation/StarWarsCloneWars'' and even "[[Film/TheStarWarsHolidaySpecial The Story of the Faithful Wookiee]]" (the latter previously only officially released as an EasterEgg on some of the series's home media releases). On the same day the ''Vintage Animation Collection'' was released, it was confirmed that ''WesternAnimation/{{Droids}}'' would be coming to the service later that year. |
| 622 | ** In August of 2021, Disney announced their September offerings for the US version of the service which includes ''WesternAnimation/PepperAnn'' and Creator/WilliamJoyce's ''WesternAnimation/RoliePolieOlie'', ''Pepper Ann'' wasn't available legally from Disney after it was canceled and Disney appears to have perpetually all US rights to ''Rolie Polie Olie'', as the original deal Creator/{{Nelvana}} made with them to get the series onto US airwaves was made in an era before streaming existed. |
| 623 | ** In October 2022, both ''Series/BearInTheBigBlueHouse'' and ''WesternAnimation/PBAndJOtter'' were uploaded on the platform, making once again both series available in their entirety after years where a good chunk of them was lost. |
| 624 | ** While not part of Disney's collection of franchises, anime fans were completely shocked when it was announced that Disney+ would be the home for the ''entire Anime/{{Macross}} franchise'' (though, in a NoExportForYou, ''Anime/SuperDimensionFortressMacross'' and ''Anime/MacrossDoYouRememberLove'' isn't part of this outside of Japan), allowing fans to not only see the usually out of circulation ''Anime/MacrossII'' and ''Anime/MacrossPlus'' once more, but also see ''Anime/Macross7'', ''Anime/MacrossFrontier'', ''Anime/MacrossDelta'' and all their related OVA and movie entries legally. |
| 625 | * NoDubForYou: |
| 626 | ** ''Theatre/{{Hamilton}}'' had the twofer of also having No Sub For You, with the only available captions being in English for over a year when it got subtitles in Portuguese, Spanish and Japanese, and it is also subbed into Malay, Indonesian, Hindi, and Thai on Disney+ Hotstar. |
| 627 | ** Despite dubs being available for ''Series/TheMuppetShow'', ''WesternAnimation/WanderOverYonder'', ''WesternAnimation/KickButtowskiSuburbanDaredevil'' etc… these dubs weren't still implemented onto Disney+ when these titles arrived. For the international ''Muppet Show'' dubs, they are still harder to find despite all the changes in ownership of the show from ITC to Henson and later Disney.[[note]]Though some newly-recorded dubs were added to select episodes of ''The Muppet Show'' in late 2021, while ''Kick Buttowski'' would have Cantonese, Japanese & Taiwanese Mandarin dubs added and later the rest of the dubs.[[/note]] |
| 628 | ** Disney+ in the Baltics, ex-Yugoslav countries, Bulgaria and Albania don't have any localized content for those regions. This is likely due to current distribution agreements for Disney's film library in those regions. However, localization is planned for those regions at a later date. |
| 629 | * NoExportForYou: |
| 630 | ** Despite Disney fully owning the series outright and having made an English dub, the ''Anime/{{Stitch}}'' anime (a Japanese SpinOff series of the ''Franchise/LiloAndStitch'' franchise) is only available on the Japanese Disney+ service[[note]]original Japanese version only[[/note]] and on Disney+ Hotstar in Indonesia, Malaysia, and Thailand,[[note]]first season of the international version only in its English, Hindi, Telugu, and Tamil dubs[[/note]] while ''Animation/StitchAndAi'' (a Chinese SpinOff series in the same franchise that was ''produced'' in English) is nowhere to be found, even though that one saw an American release on [=DisneyNow=] in 2018. This is likely because both shows are controversial with the franchise's fanbase outside of their home countries. That being said, after the merger of Disney+ Japan[[note]]which was previously just a rebrand of the previous Disney Deluxe service there[[/note]] with the main service in 2022, ''Stitch!'' now has a proper page on the main Disney+ service, albeit still restricted to Japan. |
| 631 | *** Most of Disney's library titles produced outside of the United States are in a similar situation. Many European productions have either English subtitles or audio available on the service but have not been put up for streaming worldwide. The exceptions are mostly British co-productions (''Evermoor'' and ''The Lodge''), [[CashCowFranchise cash cow]] {{telenovela}}s from the Latin American division (''Series/{{Violetta}}'', ''Series/SoyLuna'', ''Series/{{BIA}}'', and ''Series/{{O11CE}}''), and a few Asian productions (The ''My Music Story'' documentaries, ''Club Mickey Mouse Malaysia'', ''Snowdrop'', ''Delicacies Destiny'', ''Sumo Do, Sumo Don't'', ''Soundtrack No. 1'' and ''Mickey Go Local''). Even then, not all of the mentioned titles have been made available in the rest of the Anglosphere. |
| 632 | ** Creator/DonBluth[='s=] ''{{WesternAnimation/Anastasia}}'', which Disney gained the rights to when they purchased Twentieth Century Fox, appeared on Disney+ in some countries, but not in the United States at first. This was due to a preexisting deal that gives exclusive streaming rights to 20th Century films to Creator/{{HBO}} and, by extension, Creator/HBOMax. That deal was set to expire completely by Christmas 2022, but Disney+ still managed to add ''Anastasia'' to its U.S. branch from December 2020-March 2022. The movie moved to Starz afterwards, then moved back to Disney+ in June 2023. |
| 633 | ** The Latin American version lacks some animated shows present in the international versions, and have others with only one season (two, the 30th and 31st, in the case of ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons''). This is due to the show moving to STAR+ or existing free-to-air rights. A few others, like ''WesternAnimation/PepperAnn'', remained unavailable until the whole dub was found and cleared. |
| 634 | ** Many Disney Channel, Disney XD or Disney Junior shows were all available only in the US due to these shows still being aired on television worldwide. |
| 635 | * OrwellianRetcon: |
| 636 | ** Attempted, but ultimately subverted with ''Film/MiracleOn34thStreet'', [[https://i.dailymail.co.uk/1s/2019/10/15/00/19714866-7573209-image-a-3_1571094641696.jpg which was given the Disney label above the title]] when it was confirmed to be part of the streaming service at launch. It's a 20th Century film; once Disney+ actually launched, Disney's logo is not associated with the film in spite of the initial consideration to place it next to the title. As of September 2023, the [=iTunes=] thumbnail has Disney's logo at the top. |
| 637 | ** Upon making his adaptation of ''Film/SwissFamilyRobinson'', Disney bought the rights to the previous film adaptation by RKO in 1940 to prevent it from being re-released and inviting comparisons. It thus appears on the service, with [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s9-lmlnPcT4 both studios' logos present]]. |
| 638 | ** ''Film/TheMuppetMovie'' and ''Film/TheGreatMuppetCaper'' are labeled as Disney films despite being originally released by Associated Film Distribution and Creator/{{Universal}} respectively. This is consistent with every home media release of those two films since the Muppet franchise was acquired by Disney. |
| 639 | ** ''WesternAnimation/SchoolHouseRock'', an [[Creator/{{AmericanBroadcastingCompany}} ABC]] in-house production from before Disney purchased the network, bears a "Disney presents" label, also as on the home video releases. |
| 640 | ** Creator/MarvelTelevision shows originally produced for Creator/{{Netflix}} had the latter's VanityPlate, and the words "A Netflix Original Series", removed on Disney+ (the soundtracks for the shows were also changed to either be Disney+ affiliated or simply "Marvel"). |
| 641 | ** ''WesternAnimation/SaludosAmigos'' lacks a "Distributed By RKO Radio Pictures" card at the beginning, unlike other Disney movies of TheForties. This results in the "Walt Disney Presents" card and the movie's logo appearing earlier than they originally did, with the latter remaining onscreen longer to keep the rest of the credits in sync with the music. |
| 642 | * OutOfOrder: |
| 643 | ** A baffling case for a few Disney Afternoon shows, ''WesternAnimation/DuckTales1987'' used to jump all over the place despite having what is ostensibly a definitive starting point what was for some reason not the first episode in their lineup. This has since been rectified along with ''Talespin''. ''WesternAnimation/{{Bonkers}}'' is another such case, starting the lineup with the third episode "In the Bag", the Lucky/Miranda transfer episode "New Partners on the Block" is placed relatively early, and even then there are Lucky episodes strewn about after that, including the first two episodes "Going Bonkers/Gone Bonkers" which just makes you wonder how or why anybody would screw the order up. |
| 644 | ** True to form, the 2017 ''{{WesternAnimation/Ducktales|2017}}'' series was also bizarrely out of order at the service's launch, despite following a serialized narrative. This was eventually rectified as well. |
| 645 | ** ''WesternAnimation/AdventuresOfTheGummiBears'' has what is in production order its last episode "King Igthorn" displaced and goes for airing order instead. |
| 646 | ** At launch, both ''WesternAnimation/PhineasAndFerb'' and ''WesternAnimation/SpiderManTheAnimatedSeries'' were ordered incorrectly. Both have since been fixed. |
| 647 | ** ''WesternAnimation/PepperAnn'' has its finale episode as the second-to-last in the order with another episode in the last episode slot. |
| 648 | ** The episode order for ''WesternAnimation/FishHooks'' is based on when episodes paired in production first aired on TV in the same half-hour timeslot. For this reason, the pilot episode is put as the fourth episode in season one, and the finale episode is fourth-to-last in season three. There are also a few minor continuity errors caused by this odd ordering. |
| 649 | ** On Disney+ Hotstar in Malaysia, ''WesternAnimation/{{Bluey}}'' has a very different episode ordering and structure compared to on BBC iPlayer (specifically, it's regional variant, BBC Player Malaysia). Not only are episodes presented in sets of three compared to BBC iPlayer which presents each episode as individual stories (making an episode three times longer on Disney+), but the first episode on BBC iPlayer, ''Magic Xylophone'', is presented as the second story of the first episode on Disney+ Hotstar, while ''Keepy Uppy'' is the first story of the first episode on Disney+ Hotstar despite it being the third episode on BBC iPlayer. |
| 650 | ** On the US version of Disney+, ''WesternAnimation/RoliePolieOlie'' may also suffer this as most of the episodes are out of order. |
| 651 | * ProductDisplacement: |
| 652 | ** The first six ''Star Wars'' films have [[UsefulNotes/RupertMurdoch News Corporation]]'s byline blanked out of the Twentieth Century Fox logo, as on their following home video releases.[[note]]This marks the first time since the 2006 Limited Edition [=DVDs=] that the Original Trilogy didn't mention News Corp at the start (those [=DVDs=] displayed the byline on the Special Editions, but left it off of the original cuts), and the first time since the 2013 Blu-Ray/DVD combo packs that the movies from ''The Empire Strikes Back'' to ''Revenge of the Sith'' began with the Twentieth Century Fox logo and fanfare; the logo never disappeared from ''A New Hope'' because they held perpetual rights.[[/note]] However, other movies that Fox released under News Corp's ownership still have the latter's byline in the logo. |
| 653 | ** On the North American versions of Disney+, ''Film/ThePrincessBride'' uses the same master as Creator/MetroGoldwynMayer's 2009 and 2012 Blu-rays, but replaces the then-contemporary MGM logo with a muted Twentieth Century Fox intro from TheEighties. Admittedly, Fox ''was'' the original distribution company theatrically-speaking (in the US), keeping those rights as well as TV rights; MGM only got a share of the film because they bought the pre-March 1996 [=PolyGram=] Filmed Entertainment library from Seagram's, containing the films of various other companies, including video rights to this particular film. The logo had been cut and replaced with other logos as far back as the film's original VHS release, but is retained in the TV broadcasts. |
| 654 | *** Surprisingly averted with ''Film/{{Willow}}'', which retains the MGM lion (as the master is also sourced from them), even though it could easily be edited out. |
| 655 | ** Instead of using a copy of the film from the Disney archive, Disney+ apparently sourced the 1977 ''[[Series/WaltDisneyPresents The Wonderful World of Disney]]'' special ''[[Series/TheMickeyMouseClub The Mouseketeers]] at Ride/WaltDisneyWorld'' from a VHS recorded off of Creator/{{NBC}}. Their transfer removes any mention of ABC's rival, and TV spots for movies playing in theaters at the time... while keeping in every other commercial recorded onto the tape. |
| 656 | * RegionalBonus: When Disney+ launched in Latin America, it was revealed that there were ''over 70 productions'' under development for the market. Similarly, it was announced that they were aiming to have 50+ European productions by 2024 when Star launched. How many of them will be released worldwide remains to be seen; ''Intertwined'', an Argentine teen dramedy, was the first to receive a worldwide release after a few local productions initially launched within selected territories. |
| 657 | * ReleaseDateChange: As Disney both owns the streaming service and fully controls the streaming rights of its 2019-and-beyond filmography (20th Century titles excluded due to rights), it has the ability to shift the streaming debuts of those titles forward and backward as it pleases. This effectively became standard procedure after the UsefulNotes/CoronavirusPandemic led to severe shortening of theatrical release windows, and the cultural shift towards streaming services over other digital revenue streams led Disney to prioritize releases on the service over traditional VOD avenues. |
| 658 | ** Due to the outbreak of the coronavirus causing schools and businesses to shut down temporarily, Disney+ decided to release ''WesternAnimation/FrozenII'' to the service's subscribers three months early in mid-March 2020 to comfort families during the crisis. ''Film/TheRiseOfSkywalker'''s Disney+ debut was also pulled forward two months for similar reasons, as well as to tie in with "''Franchise/StarWars'' Day" (May 4th). |
| 659 | ** ''WesternAnimation/{{Onward}}'' was released to the service on April 3, 2020, a month after opening in theaters, since its box office numbers were compromised by global theater closures. |
| 660 | ** ''Film/AvengersEndgame'' was initially slated to arrive on the service in December 2019, but was moved forward to become a launch title for the service instead. |
| 661 | ** Despite having opened in theaters the week before ''Endgame'' in April 2019, the Disneynature documentary ''Penguins'' was held back until April 2020, the month of Earth Day, to tie in with the release of two original nature films (''Elephant'' and ''Dolphin Reef'') and three accompanying making-of documentaries (including one for ''Penguins'' itself). ''Dolphin Reef'' also was delayed to Earth Day after having originally been announced as a launch day title for the streaming service (after its theatrical release in 2018 was cancelled). |
| 662 | ** Disney+ originally planned to stream ''Theatre/{{Hamilton}}'' in 2022, after Disney screened it theatrically following the conclusion of the show's live stage runs. However, the Coronavirus pandemic, which shut down all of ''Hamilton''[='=]s live performances, prompted Disney+ to bump the streaming date to July 3, 2020 without a theatrical run. |
| 663 | ** ''WesternAnimation/SchoolhouseRock'' saw its addition to the service bumped up two weeks from June 19, 2020, to June 5, 2020, after May brought an influx of online demand for "America Rock" to return to TV. |
| 664 | ** While the Marvel Cinematic Universe tie-in shows were supposed to start running in the back half of 2020, the delay of the Phase 4 films as a result of the Coronavirus pandemic hampering movie production and closing movie theatres as a result had a knock-on effect; in order to maintain continuity with the films, they couldn't arrive until the movies did. However, because the pandemic dragged on ''so'' long in the United States especially, ''Series/WandaVision'' was allowed to premiere in January 2021 followed by ''Series/TheFalconAndTheWinterSoldier'' in March, both arriving before the first of the Phase 4 films (''Film/{{Black Widow|2021}}'') did. |
| 665 | ** Some episodes of ''[[Series/WaltDisneyPresents Walt Disney's Wonderful World of Color]]'' have seen their Disney+ release dates indefinitely pushed back. |
| 666 | ** ''WesternAnimation/AmericanDragonJakeLong'' was originally announced for the service through its Twitter account in December 2019. After staying quiet about the show for over a year after that initial tweet, Disney eventually confirmed that it would be made available on February 26, '''2021'''. |
| 667 | ** Disney+ Hotstar itself was originally going to release on March 29, 2020 in India. Come the Coronavirus pandemic, it was delayed to April 3. |
| 668 | ** The Italian release of the service was originally set on March 31, but was anticipated to March 24. |
| 669 | ** ''Film/TheMuppetChristmasCarol'' Extended Edition first had its Disney+ release date announced as December 11, 2022, which would've resulted in a rare instance of the service posting something new on a Sunday. Accordingly, they bumped it up to the preceding Friday, December 9. |
| 670 | * {{Remaster}}: Disney+ often unveils 4K presentations of movies unavailable on Ultra HD Blu-ray: |
| 671 | ** The ''Franchise/StarWars'' 4K restorations correct the color correction errors that plagued the Special Edition DVD and Blu-Ray sets; the Ultra HD sets struck from these restorations didn't come out until well after Disney+'s launch. However, the movies still contain massive amounts of DNR, and aren't the original cuts, but rather the Special Editions with even more changes. |
| 672 | ** For ''WesternAnimation/TheSwordInTheStone'', instead of reusing the blurry master struck for the 2013 50th Anniversary Edition Blu-Ray/DVD/Digital HD Combo Pack, Disney+ unveiled a sharp and clear 4K restoration. |
| 673 | ** In November 2021, it was announced that all available Franchise/MarvelCinematicUniverse films with [[AspectRatioSwitch expanded]] Creator/{{IMAX}} footage would have said footage restored, a rarity for digital releases and especially streaming services. |
| 674 | ** ''Film/TheMuppetMovie'', ''Film/TheGreatMuppetCaper'', and the extended cut of ''Film/TheMuppetChristmasCarol'' received 4K upgrades in 2022. |
| 675 | ** In October 2022, ''Film/{{Enchanted}}'' was given a 4K remaster exclusive to the service, in preparation for the arrival of the sequel movie, ''Disenchanted''. |
| 676 | * RoleReprise: Almost any given original that's not a total reboot will feature reprises of the old cast when possible, such as the Franchise/MarvelCinematicUniverse shows, the ''Film/RogueOne'' prequel, ''Monsters at Work'', and ''What If?'', among others. |
| 677 | * ScrewedByTheLawyers: |
| 678 | ** It's not an uncommon sight to find a movie or show one would expect to be on the service, only to run into a message that reads "Due to existing agreements, this title will be available on [insert date here]. Add to your watchlist now." This is because, prior to the launch of Disney+, Disney continued to sell some films/shows' pay-TV/streaming rights to premium channels, notably Creator/{{Netflix}}, Creator/{{HBO}}, Creator/{{Showtime}} and Creator/{{Starz}} and most cable channels. In the case of newer films (namely those after 2014) that have left Netflix/Starz, some are still locked in second-run contracts with cable channels such as Creator/{{TNT}} and Creator/{{TBS}} (except for all ''Star Wars'' films with ''The Force Awakens'' onwards, certain MCU titles such as ''Film/CaptainAmericaCivilWar'', ''Film/DoctorStrange2016'' and ''Film/GuardiansOfTheGalaxyVol2'', all of which air on TNT/TBS but are carried by Disney+, and those airing on [[LoopholeAbuse Disney-owned]] [[Creator/FXNetworks FX]]). Until those rights expire, you'll just have to wait.[[note]]On a side note, Disney was able to get the streaming rights of certain titles it still licensed to Starz back, thanks to a deal where Disney+ plugs in an ad for Starz whenever a potential subscriber signs up for the first time. These were titles that Disney considered a priority for Disney+, such as all ''Star Wars'' films up to ''The Force Awakens'' and ''Film/TronLegacy''.[[/note]] |
| 679 | ** MCU films that were distributed by Sony or Universal Pictures, such as the solo ''Spider-Man'' films for the former and ''Film/{{The Incredible Hulk|2008}}'' for the latter, for awhile did not appear at all on the service since the full rights to those films are with said studios. However, Disney has packaged those films on MCU DVD/Blu-Ray box sets under license from both studios. A 2021 deal between Disney and Sony has allowed ''Spider-Man'' films both before and after Spider-Man joining the MCU to become available on the service after their initial run on Creator/{{Starz}} (for pre-2022 films) or Creator/{{Netflix}} concludes. In 2022 ''Spider-Man: Homecoming'' was added in a few markets, along with many other Spider-Man movies... including ''Film/Venom2018'', which is about one of his enemies. In 2023, the Sam Raimi ''Film/SpiderManTrilogy'' as well as ''Film/TheAmazingSpiderMan'' was added to the service in the U.S. because of the deal as well as ''Homecoming'' and ''Venom''. ''Film/TheAmazingSpiderMan2'' was later added that year in August. |
| 680 | *** Disney even has rights to ''The Incredible Hulk'' in Spain and was added to the Spanish version of the service in 2021. Disney and Universal eventually reached a deal to allow it to be streamed in the US in 2023. |
| 681 | ** Some Disney-owned content [[NoExportForYou may also be barred from appearing in a certain country's Disney+ library]] if Disney doesn't own the rights to the content in that specific region. For example, ''Film/{{Dragonslayer}}'', ''Film/{{Titanic|1997}}'', ''Film/{{Popeye}}'', and ''Film/TerminatorDarkFate'' are available on all international versions of Disney+ (assuming that Disney+ in Latin America, the UK, Europe, South Africa, Arab countries, Israel, Singapore, Japan, Hong Kong, Taiwan & Korea and Disney+ Hotstar in India, Malaysia & Thailand is willing to carry said titles), but not on the North American versions of the service as [[Creator/{{Paramount}} Paramount Pictures]] holds the rights to all four films in that territory. On the flip side, ''WesternAnimation/XMenEvolution'' is on Creator/{{Max}} in Brazil, because Creator/WarnerBros still holds some international rights. |
| 682 | ** Despite promising to be a permanent home for ''"all things Disney"'' going forward, since its launch in 2019, the service has notably taken down select titles from its North American-based incarnation every month without any advanced warning due to somehow unforeseen legal problems such as ''{{Film/Maleficent}}'', ''Film/Cinderella2015'', ''WesternAnimation/StrangeMagic'', ''[[Film/PiratesOfTheCaribbeanOnStrangerTides On Stranger Tides]]'', and 52-54 other titles.[[note]]These removals have mostly taken place at the beginning of each month that the service's been active since launch, with the notable exception being June 2021. Despite that, the practice resumed as soon as July 1st came around.[[/note]] This has also included titles from 20th Century Studios like its two live-action ''{{Film/Garfield}}'' films, the first ''WesternAnimation/IceAge'' film, the third ''Literature/DiaryOfAWimpyKid'', and many others. Said unforeseen licensing issues have been mostly been with Netflix, Creator/{{Starz}} and Creator/HBOMax (the first and two were Disney's former first-run TV partners), with 20th's contract with HBO possibly expiring in late 2022, & it's currently unknown when similar deals select films currently have with Starz and Netflix will expire as well. The preexisting deals also apply to cable networks not owned by Disney. |
| 683 | *** This also applies to [[Creator/{{RegencyEnterprises}} New Regency]] titles that Fox distributed as New Regency currently has separate digital and streaming rights internationally which these titles might appear on most international versions of Disney+ but very rarely in the US (except titles currently with Creator/WarnerBros, [[Creator/{{Paramount}} Paramount Pictures]] and Focus Features[=/=][[Creator/{{Universal}} Universal Pictures]]). |
| 684 | ** In a similar way to the Starz issue in the US, all the theatrical releases in Summer 2018 and in the second half of 2019 were initially unavailable in the Italian service due to Sky having the exclusive rights for them for a while. |
| 685 | ** Because ''Film/ThePrincessBride'''s distribution rights vary from country to country (it's UK/Ireland distribution rights are currently with Creator/{{Lionsgate}}), it is not included on select international Disney+ services. |
| 686 | * TheStinger: Like with Netflix, most Disney+ streams end with an extra minute of foreign dubbing credits. This also has the side effect of not being able to skip to the next episode until later in the dub credits or marking the episode as completed. |
| 687 | * VeryFalseAdvertising: Possibly as a result of said legal problems listed above, this has lead to rare instances of the service's monthly {{Website/YouTube}} content update videos highlighting titles they promise would be added in the next 28-31 days, but not going through with it regardless. Pieces of content that've suffered from this include the Marvel web series ''Fury Files'', which was promised to be added on May 15th, 2020, but wouldn't be added for another 371 days, the [[Creator/NationalGeographicChannel NatGeo]] documentary ''World's Deadliest Sharks'', the 3rd season of ''Life Below Zero: Next Generation'', ''Science of Stupid,'' ''Russia's Wild Tiger'', and most notably, ''Film/MrPoppersPenguins''. The 2011 Creator/JimCarrey film was first promised to be added on January 1, 2021, which fell on a Friday, when new feature films/shorts are usually added to the service and the time these videos are generally released. Despite not showing up, it was ''still included in the update video for that month regardless''. ''Penguins'' eventually arrived on December 3rd, 2021, while it is still unknown when exactly ''Sharks'', ''SOS'', ''RWT'' or ''LBZ:NG'' S3 will each finally be added. |
| 688 | * WhatCouldHaveBeen: |
| 689 | ** A series based on ''Literature/ATaleOf'' called ''Book of Enchantment'' was canned a few months before the service even launched, due to the Disney executives not being comfortable at its DarkerAndEdgier tone. |
| 690 | ** While the ''Muppets Now'' short series is definitely a thing, [[https://mobile.twitter.com/DisneyTVANews/status/1165454903420084224 a second Muppet series]] called ''Muppets Live Another Day''[[note]](intended to have been set during the events of ''Film/TheMuppetsTakeManhattan'')[[/note]] was going to happen but ended up not happening because of schedule conflicts. |
| 691 | ** The RecycledTheSeries version of ''Literature/HighFidelity'' was planned for Disney+ but was later shifted to its sister service Hulu. |
| 692 | ** ''Four Dads'', a sitcom about the children of a divorced gay couple who are now both dating other guys, was dropped for unexplained reasons, naturally to much dismay from the LGBT community, who saw it as a potential big step forward for representation in the company after ''Series/AndiMack'' opened the door. |
| 693 | ** ''Series/MalcolmInTheMiddle'' was set to be a launch title for the service, but never happened as sister service Hulu has the rights to the series. |
| 694 | ** A ''Film/LoveSimon'' sequel series called ''Series/LoveVictor'' was supposed to air on the streaming service, but was later confirmed to be shipped off to Hulu. It eventually became available on international versions of the service via the debut of Star, and would eventually make its way to Disney+ proper for season 3 (while still available on Hulu). |
| 695 | ** A ''Series/LizzieMcGuire'' {{sequel}} series was planned but ultimately cancelled following a tumultuous development process, with showrunner and original series creator Terri Minsky allegedly being fired and star Music/HilaryDuff publicly pleading to have the series moved to Creator/{{Hulu}} in order to explore more adult themes than Disney+ would allow. |
| 696 | ** One of the first international productions, ''It Was Always Me'', was originally going to star Argentine singer[=/=]actress Tini Stoessel and Colombian singer Sebastián Yatra, who were dating at the time. However, as production was suspended during the pandemic, both eventually dropped out due to having broken up and making new commitments in 2021. Production would eventually move from Argentina to Colombia and resume with Mexican singer[=/=]actress Karol Sevilla and Colombian singer[=/=]songwriter Pipe Bueno. |
