Disney’s incredible content library has entertained fans for almost a century. However, with the creation of Disney+, the Disney company has been able to pump out even more content, most of which has been exciting and thrilling for audiences to get their hands on. The Mouse House is not slowing down with producing content, so below are the upcoming content from the company that we are the most excited to get our hands-on.
An important thing to note is that this list focuses on Disney proper. While Marvel, Star Wars, and Pixar are all putting out fantastic content, these will not be looked at for the purposes of this list.
Baymax!
8 Upcoming Disney Films & Shows to Keep on Your Radar
Loveable robot Baymax returns on Disney+ on June 29, 2022 with a series that takes place sometime after the events of Big Hero 6. In Baymax!, Baymax interacts with the people of San Fransokyo where he follows the original protocol he was given in trying to help out everyone that he can. The personal healthcare companion looks to be helping with various problems which should be interesting to see.
Scott Adsit returns to voice Baymax, while other known returning characters are Hiro and his aunt Cass. Baymax! will seemingly be a bit of a procedural with episodes introducing new people for Baymax to help, leading to plenty of fun. Hopefully, the audience will get to see even more of the world that was originally introduced in Big Hero 6.
Pinocchio
8 Upcoming Disney Films & Shows to Keep on Your Radar
A live-action adaptation of the Walt Disney classic film Pinocchio is freed of his strings on Disney+ on Sept. 8, 2022, with a star-studded cast. The glimpses that have been shown from the trailers of this live-action adaptation of the Walt Disney Animated film look absolutely magical. It’ll be interesting to see how Disney adapts the film, especially as parts of the film are overtly adult-themed.
The cast includes Benjamin Evan Ainsworth as Pinocchio, along with Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Luke Evans, Cynthia Erivo, Keegan Michael-Key, and Lorraine Bracco. Of course, who could forget that the incredible Tom Hanks is set to play Geppetto.
Hocus Pocus 2
8 Upcoming Disney Films & Shows to Keep on Your Radar
The Sanderson sisters return Sept. 30, 2022 on Disney+ in this sequel to the beloved Halloween film Hocus Pocus. Hocus Pocus 2 is set in modern-day Salem with a cast of new characters; however, the focus should, of course be on the iconic witch sisters. The original Hocus Pocus is a beloved film by audiences, so finally getting a sequel all these years later is truly an exciting prospect.
People to this day still watch Hocus Pocus for Halloween as Disney Channel has been playing the movie for years and it has been added to Disney+. Hocus Pocus is truly a classic and staple Halloween film. Original cast members Bette Midler, Kathy Najimy, Sarah Jessica Parker, and Doug Jones are all returning for the spell-binding sequel.
Strange World
8 Upcoming Disney Films & Shows to Keep on Your Radar
Strange World is the 61st official Walt Disney Animated film, which releases in theaters on Nov. 23, 2022. Strange World is about a family of explorers whose important mission is threatened by interpersonal conflicts. Not much else is known about the movie besides a teaser trailer that was released.
Still, given the success of the recent animated film entries by Disney, there is no reason to doubt that this trend won’t continue with Strange World. This theatrical film will also star notable celebrity Jake Gyllenhaal as the film’s protagonist Searcher Clade, but the voice actors for the other main characters have yet to be confirmed.
