Disney+ is adding a bunch of new content to its catalogue this month – licensed content, new episodes of original series, and more. The streaming wars are only getting started, and with new subscription services arriving this year, each platform will continue to bring the widest variety of content as possible. Disney+ has a lot of exciting new content lined up for 2020, but it’s taking it a bit slower this month.
January saw the arrival of a lot of content from National Geographic, among those the documentary series Year Million and the Drain The Great Lakes series, as well as some Disney Channel original series, such as Austin & Ally and The Lodge. Last month also brought some Disney+ original series, most notably Diary of a Future President and Short Circuit. As for licensed content, Disney+ added the 1994 comedy sports film Cool Runnings, the comedy-drama Holes, and the live-action versions of Aladdin and The Lion King.
February will continue bringing new episodes of series that have already debuted on the platform, as well as a bunch of movies (live-action, animated, and some good old classics), an original movie, and the new season of a beloved Star Wars animated series. Here’s everything new to Disney+ in February, 2020.
National Geographic
For those into series about nature, National Geographic has you covered with two very different TV series. Seasons 1 and 2 of Unlikely Animal Friends will be available this month, so you can take a look at some of the (truly heartwarming) bonds created between animals that seem like unusual matches. Disney+ is also adding seasons 1 and 2 of the reality TV series Wicked Tuna, which follows commercial tuna fishermen based in Gloucester, Massachusetts, and who fish for the lucrative Atlantic bluefin tuna in the North Atlantic Ocean. The series also offers a look at one of America’s oldest industries, and addresses the issue surrounding the fate of the bluefin tuna.
New Titles On Disney+
Disney has an extensive catalogue of films, and even more now that it has Fox’s properties in its power as well. Disney+ is adding a variety of films this month, like the 1956 classic Around The World In 80 Days, the comedies Big Business and My Dog, The Thief, the fantasy comedy Splash, the infamous comedy Old Dogs, and the fan-favorite coming-of-age comedy The Sandlot is coming back. There will also be more recent content with Descendants 3, the comedy-drama Because of Winn-Dixie, and Toy Story 4. In addition to that, the Walt Disney Presents episode “I Captured the King of the Leprechauns” will be available to stream, and it follows Walt Disney himself on a trip to Ireland in search of leprechauns to appear in the film Darby O’Gill and the Little People.
Marvel Titles On Disney+
January had the special Marvel Rising: Secret Warriors - Battle of the Bands, and February will have more Marvel content to enjoy. Marvel’s Iron Man & Hulk: Heroes United follows the title characters as they investigate an energy creature called Zzzax, which was created by HYDRA, whose scientists were also looking to capture the Hulk and siphon his gamma energy into their own version of Tony Stark’s arc reactor.
Also arriving this month are two specials from the Marvel Rising series: Operation Shuri and Playing with Fire. The first one is a 22-minute special that introduces Black Panther’s younger sister Shuri, who attempts to hang out with the Secret Warriors as a normal teen. Playing with Fire is a 44-minute special focused on Inferno, whose powers are stolen by teenage criminal Zayla and America Chavez, who tries to connect with Ms. Marvel. As the Secret Warriors attempt to get Inferno’s powers back, Inferno is conflicted as to whether he wants his powers back or not. Last but not least, season 1 of the anime series Marvel Future Avengers will also be available this month.
New Episodes Of Disney+ Original Series
Instead of releasing all episodes of a season in one day, Disney+ is opting for taking it one episode at a time, and so this month will have new episodes of series that have already premiered on the platform. Subscribers will get to enjoy the rest of season 1 of Diary of a Future President, new stories from the documentary series Marvel’s Hero Project, more segments from the documentary One Day at Disney, and season 2 of Disney’s Fairy Tale Weddings, which will provide more behind-the-scenes looks at the weddings and engagements that take place at Disney destinations.
Timmy Failure: Mistakes Were Made
Based on the book series of the same name by Stephan Pastis, Timmy Failure: Mistakes Were Made is a comedy-fantasy film directed by Tom McCarthy. It follows 11-year-old Timmy Failure (Winslow Fegley) who believes he’s the best detective in town and runs an agency called Total Failure Inc. with his sidekick Rollo Tookus and a very peculiar partner: a 1500-pound polar bear. Timmy Failure: Mistakes Were Made had its world premiere at the Sundance Film Festival last month and has been met with good reactions so far.
Star Wars: The Clone Wars (season 7)
After what seemed like the end for Star Wars: The Clone Wars, Disney+ came to the rescue and granted it a seventh and final season. Star Wars: The Clone Wars season 7 will arrive later this month with a new episode available each week. This season will have a darker tone than the previous ones and will take place concurrently with the events of Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith, following Darth Maul’s plans to destroy the Jedi and the Republic.
Star Wars Resistance (season 2)
Season 2 of the animated series Star Wars Resistance will be available to stream this month. The events in this second and final season picked up immediately after the end of season 1 and crossed over with Star Wars: The Last Jedi, leading up to Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker.
Phineas and Ferb: Star Wars
The Star Wars content continues, but this time with a different perspective. Phineas and Ferb: Star Wars is a one-hour long crossover episode of the animated series Phineas and Ferb and characters from the Star Wars franchise. In it, the always creative and adventurous brothers travel to a galaxy far, far away to help out some rebel heroes. Among the fun crossover details in this special are Isabella as Han Solo’s rival, Candace as a low-ranking stormtrooper, Perry the Rebelpus, and Darthenshmirtz with his new “Sith-inator”.
Imagination Movers (season 1-3)
All three seasons of the live-action preschool TV series Imagination Movers will be available on Disney+ this month. The series follows the music group Imagination Movers who live at the Idea Warehouse, which has a variety of rooms with different climates and sizes. In every episode, they help many clients with their problems and come up with creative ways to solve them. As you can see, Disney+ truly is a family-oriented service.
