r/DisneyPlus

My stupid conspiracy theory is that Disney+ purposely doesn't keep us logged in an attempt to get people (grand parents mostly) to sign up for the service multiple times. Every other service keeps me logged in and makes logging in easy. I am constantly having log in issues with Disney+ and Hulu. I am not looking for help on this just venting.

EXCLUSIVE: A cult classic fairytale movie starring Disney royalty is getting a series adaptation at Disney+. The streamer has landed for development Ella Enchanted, a TV series based on the 2004 Miramax film, Deadline has learned. The film’s star, Anne Hathaway, is executive producing the potential series, which is written by Ilana Wolpert (Anyone But You), with Beth Schwartz (Dead Boy Detectives) as showrunner, and co-produced by Miramax Television and Paramount Television Studios, I hear.

In it, when 16-year-old Ella of Frell — cursed at birth to obey every command — is sent to boarding school after her mother’s untimely death, she begins to uncover the truth about her curse, builds an unlikely found family, and deals with an extremely inconvenient crush on the prince of her kingdom.

The series, now in early stages of development, keeps the basic premise of the movie and Gail Carson Levine’s book it was loosely based on — it centers on the eponymous teen girl stuck with the unfortunate “gift” of obedience. But it’s pulling away from being largely a Cinderella retelling romantic fantasy by giving the story a coming-of-age feel with a boarding school setting, which is not in the film. Four chapters in Levine’s novel chronicle Ella’s stay at a boarding-style finishing school for girls where she is mercilessly bullied but also finds a best friend. The boarding school backdrop of Ella Enchanted also echoes Wednesday‘s reframing of the Addams Family lore.

Wizards of waverly place of Hannah Montana ?

For me it’s wizards of waverly place because I love the show so much and the humor it’s my favourite and I also love wizards and Alex is my favourite

And I never really got into Hannah Montana, watched a lot as a kid but was never really my favourite

New parent here. I do most of my late-night feeds and contact naps with subtitles on, volume low, and my brain half asleep.

I'm after recommendations that are:

- Episodic or lightly serialized, so missing 10 minutes won't ruin things

- Calm and low-stress, nothing horror or heavy drama

- Not aimed at toddlers or preschoolers (I've got daytime kid TV covered)

- Ideally 20 to 45 minutes per episode

- Bonus if the subtitles are clear and it doesn't rely on rapid-fire dialogue

What works for me: chill travel or behind-the-scenes docs, low-stakes reality, and comfort shows that are rewatchable.

What does not: constant shouting, big cliffhangers, or loud action set pieces. I like Star Wars, but most of those shows wind me up at 1am.

What are your go-to Disney+ comfort watches for late-night feeding duty? I'm also open to specific seasons if a series starts slow or gets too intense later on. Thanks!

I'm not seeing any information on a voice actor for Oswald the Lucky Rabbit in Jon Favreau's upcoming series. How will you feel if the character is silent?

I travel a lot for work and most of my Disney+ watching happens in tiny gaps: waiting to board, in the back of a rideshare, or with 12 minutes before a meeting. I know the obvious answer is to watch a movie in chunks, but I hate starting something when I know I cannot finish it.

What I want is for Disney+ to treat short viewing as a real way to use the app, not an accidental side effect of the Continue Watching row. Give us a proper filter you can apply anywhere: "Under 10 minutes," "Under 20 minutes," "Under 30 minutes." Not another recommendation shelf or a collection that goes stale. A filter that searches across series and specials and includes animated shorts, behind the scenes clips, and any episode that fits the runtime.

Right now the app is great at guessing what I will binge next, but not great at helping me pick something that matches the actual time I have. I end up doom-scrolling or defaulting to the same comfort stuff because I know the pacing.

Let me choose the session length first, like music apps let you make playlists by duration, and I think Disney+ would get more watch time out of people who watch in micro-sessions. Anyone else do this and feel like the app fights you on it?

so i’ve watched episodes 1-6 a billion times, i saw 7-9 when they came out n like everyone else think their garbage. but i like mandolorian and book of boba, should i watch ashoka and obi wan and any other shows / movies ? my reels have been full of star wars lately and i really wanna watch more now.
ive seen andor and solo they were okay, and of course clone wars as a kid on tv but never front to back since i got older which i def should do

Randomly chanced upon this show and switched it on as I thought it’s funny that it’s a reverse of your usual Brit or American commenting how odd Japan is.

Also I always enjoyed the American Southwest though I haven’t visited since Trump.

Apparently it’s unscripted and has a very chill vibe.

Anyone seen it - love to hear your thoughts!
