What is missing from Disney + that you would like to see on it?

[insideguy]

For me more touchstone stuff like Dick Tracy etc, and more 50s and 60s live action movies. Plus many more shorts! Get to it lol

There are definitely a few older films that they can fill in. I think one of the Dexter Riley trilogy is msissing. The Scarecrow of Romney Marsh and The Island at the Top of the World would be nice. In Search of the Castaways is another. I'd also like to see more 4K masters, especially for Avatar and maybe even 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea. Titan A.E. would be a nice addition from the Fox library. There is probably a ton more!

I know its not endless but with Fox, and touchstone, etc etc plus just unreleased Disney stuff it almost seems like its endless lol

No doubt they are sitting on the best back-catalog in existence. That's why I don't really complain where there is not that much new stuff on D+ - it's worth it just for the old stuff!

They do need to find a home for the Fox movies that aren't family freindly enough for D+ as it would be nice to have a central streaming home for that stuff.

I'd love to see some of the old movies they used to have on The Wonderful World of Disney on Sunday nights, like The Monster of Strawberry Cove, The Mystery in Dracula's Castle, and those types of films.

Really old crusty Disney movies. Anyone remember Johnny Tremain or the one with the masked rider, can't remember the name, but he harassed the Red Coats as I recall.

You may be thinking about The Scarecrow of Romney Marsh with Partick McGoohan (The Prisoner). It took place in England, but he fought against the British army over unfair taxattion and forced conscription into the military for debtors. It is based on the Dr. Syn novels. It was aired in three parts on The Wonderful World of Disney but was also edited down into a film for theatrical release in the UK. It's very good!

 

[kanerf]

Yup, that's the one.

I loved the Scarecrow theme!

Is "The Happiest Millionaire" available?

 

[kanerf]

Great article on this topic that lists this one and more: https://thefederalist.com/2019/11/13/44-classics-you-wont-find-on-disney-plus-yet/.

It is on Disney+. Pre-Bond Sean Connery.

I remember seeing that article back in November 2019. I know Disney+ is adding titles every month.

I have that great Anchor Bay DVD of "Millionaire". I'd love to see "Dr. Syn" and "Johnny Tremain" again. "The Wonderful World of Color" was one of the only TV shows we were allowed to watch when we were kids and I remember those fondly but never bought them on home media.

The New Mickey Mouse Club from the late 70’s. I loved the show and would sing all the songs.

The Muppet Show. I really want to see the seasons that never made it to DVD.

Man, I would love that, but I think there are lots of rights issues with it. Maybe they can get that worked out. I'll take Muppets Tonight too.
