In a new Summer of Disney+ preview, the streaming service touts the arrival of theatrical releases like Black Widow, Pixar’s Luca, and Jungle Cruise, new original shows including Loki and Monsters at Work, and old favorites like Adventures in Babysitting, The Sandlot, and Mrs. Doubtfire.

Summer of Disney+
There’s a lot of new stuff coming to Disney+ this summer, including a series reboot of Turner & Hooch. Those not ready to return to theaters can get Black Widow and Jungle Cruise through Disney+ Premier Access for an extra fee, or they can enjoy Pixar’s Luca for no additional cost. Meanwhile, Pixar’s Monsters Inc. makes a return with the sequel sequel Monsters at Work (watch the trailer here), and the television side of Marvel Studios continues with the time-hopping series Loki.
Other additions to the library include a documentary called Stuntman, which follows veteran Hollywood stuntman Eddie Braun as he attempts what many argue is the most dangerous stunt in cinematic history, and the nature documentary Playing with Sharks, following fearless diver, cinematographer, and pioneering conservationist Valerie Taylor as she goes from champion spearfisher to passionate shark protector.
Adding to the programming for all you nature lovers out there, there’s also a new six-episode National Geographic series called Growing Up Animal, which chronicles the birth and growth of chimps, sea lions, elephants, African wild dogs, lions, and grizzlies.
Here’s the full line-up of movies and TV shows that fall under the Summer of Disney+ banner:
Don’t get too excited about that Short Circuit title on the schedule below. It’s merely an experimental program where anyone at Walt Disney Animation Studios can pitch an idea and potentially be selected to create an original, innovative short film with the support of the studio and their fellow artists. It still sounds cool, but it’s not a reboot of the beloved film franchise.
