The second anniversary of the big streaming service is celebrated on Disney+ Day, on which recent big movies like Marvel’s “Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings” and “Jungle Cruise” both make debuts for regular subscribers.
There’s also a new “Home Alone” film, called “Home Sweet Home Alone” with Archie Yates, Ellie Kemper and Rob Delaney.
A new series, “Olaf Presents,” features the popular snowman from the “Frozen” films. There’s a crossover cartoon from “The Simpsons in Plusaversary” with Homer and Goofy living in the same world. And five new episodes from the new second season for the Nat Geo series “The World According to Jeff Goldblum.”
From Argentina comes “Entrelazados,” or “Intertwined,” a 10-episode series about a teen who wants to try out for the local production of “Freaky Friday,” same as her grandmother did in 1994, before finding a bracelet that transports her to that time as well.
“Ciao Alberto” is an animated short about the fun-loving sea monster, a spin off from the film “Luca.” “The Making of Happier Than Ever: A Love Letter to Los Angeles” is a behind the scenes look at the making of Billie Eilish’s recent concert special. Similarly there’s a special titled “Marvel Assembled: The Making of Shang-Chi and the Legend of The Ten Rings.” Thirteen Marvel titles will be available in IMAX format on the service for the first time (which will be a plus if you have an IMAX screen at home, I guess). The special “Marvel Studios Legends: Hawkeye” looks at Jeremy Renner highlights in advance of the new series.
The third and final season of the CGI kids show “Fancy Nancy” begins. One Disney film that has so far not been on the streaming channel, the 2007 “Enchanted” with Amy Adams, finally makes its debut.
But the one thing that’s getting the most attention, though, is a series about “The Legacy of Boba Fett” the “Star Wars” bounty hunter.
The company is offering a number of promotional deals in connection with the special day — including the introductory offer of one month of Disney+ for $1.99.
