Infotainment News Disney Plus Announces Over 30 New Movies/TV Shows For January
2020 has turned out to be a pretty big year for Disney Plus, what with many major releases going up on streaming instead of dropping in theaters. However, the pandemic’s also held a lot back until 2021, too, which means that next year is going to be an even bigger year for the Mouse House’s streaming service. And things will kick off right out the gate. January 2021 is a major month when it comes to new additions. Here’s everything that’s on its way to the site next month.
New Year’s Day delivers a bunch of new movies and National Geographic documentaries for subscribers to enjoy. Suffice it to say, if you love sharks, it’s going to be a good January 1st for you. For everyone else, a trio of films inherited from Fox are added to D+’s library the same day. Namely, animated flick Dr Seuss’ Horton Hears a Who, Jim Carrey comedy Mr. Popper’s Penguins and X-Men spinoff movie The Wolverine, starring Hugh Jackman.
