Disney+ has a few original content pieces, most notably The Mandalorian, in addition to others such as live-action Lady and the Tramp, High School Musical- The Musical – The Series, Encore, The World According to Jeff Goldblum, Noelle and a ton of various documentaries. For those fans of the Pixar shorts that played before Pixar films, they’re in luck as they can find the entire collection on the platform.
Disney fans who love the throwbacks can find the old black and white Disney originals, however the extensive throwback catalog isn’t completely full yet. Disney is still trying to add more original shows and movies to its content roster, but due to licensing issues some favorites might not be available right away. For millennials who enjoy a good throwback, favorites such as That’s So Raven and Even Stevens has made its way onto the platform, in addition to so many others.
Disney+ launched with an extensive catalog of content and will only continue to add to it, rivaling competitors such as Netlfix, Hulu and Prime Video.
