Disney+ changed the streaming landscape virtually overnight when it debuted in the UK four years ago. With the help of the Infinity Gauntlet of intellectual property, which includes Marvel, Disney, Star Wars, Pixar, and FOX, the House of Mouse has produced a place where there is something for everyone. Do you know of any other platforms where you may travel up to Wrexham's STōK Cae Ras, down the Witches' Road, and into a world of Jesse Plemonses without having to switch streamers?
It can be challenging to decide what to watch next, though, when presented with a platform that allows you to travel to a galaxy far, far away with a Star Wars-style smorgasbord as effortlessly as you could watch the entire Walt Disney Animation library, the entire Marvel Cinematic Universe, or Pixar's renowned filmography. And the streamer isn't showing any signs of slowing down, with shows like Star Wars: Skeleton Crew, Daredevil Born Again, and Pixar's first TV series, Win Or Lose, scheduled to debut on the platform in the upcoming months. In light of this, we at Empire and Pilot TV HQ have made the decision to assist by compiling a comprehensive guide of everything you should watch on Disney+.
Inside Out 2
Director Kelsey Mann's sequel to Inside Out is a sophisticated continuation of the film's emotional journey, deftly returning to the mind of a now-teen Riley (Kensington Tallman), who has been rearranged by the advent of puberty and the appearance of multiple new emotions. Among them is Anxiety (played well by Maya Hawke), whose disastrous attempts to get Riley ready for high school, with the help of Ennui (Adèle Exarchopoulos), Embarrassment (Paul Walter Hauser), and Envy (Ayo Edebiri), leave the teen's early feelings adrift. Sar-chasms, sinister secrets, and a reoccurring scene with a 2D toon from Riley's favorite childhood program all masterfully mimic the visual innovation and witty humor of the original movie. But once again, the heartwarming deconstruction of social anxiety and self-doubt is delivered by returning authors Meg LeFauve and Dave Holstein's insightful perspectives on the intricacies of our emotions. And the box office, too, since Inside Out 2 is currently the highest-grossing animated film ever produced!
Agatha All Along
Kathryn Hahn is back with her own eerily witchy MCU spin-off series, Agatha All Along, after captivating us with her role as Agatha Harkness in WandaVision. Jac Schaeffer's new series, which is set three years after "the Westview incident," follows Harkness as she teams up with young favorite Teen (Joe Locke) to form a coven that includes the mystic Lilia (Patti LuPone), the potion maker Jen (Sasheer Zamata), the rock star's daughter Alice (Ali Ahn), and the suspiciously normal Mrs. Hart (Debra Jo Rupp) in order to travel to the Witches' Road and regain her abilities. With its amazing choruses, eerie season vibes, and outstanding ensemble, Agatha is a blast, riffing on everything from scandi-noir crime plays to centuries-old witch mythology. You may enjoy the ideal pre-Halloween entertainment if you include Aubrey Plaza as Harkness' nemesis/old flame Rio and more mystery boxes than you can shake a broomstick at.
Kinds Of Kindness
Just six months after Poor Things stunned us, Yorgos Lanthimos, Emma Stone, Willem Dafoe, and Margaret Qualley return to their cinematic antics in the triptych oddity Kinds Of Kindness, this time with Jesse Plemons in tow. The near three-hour epic, which was brilliantly shot by DP Robbie Ryan, is a strikingly human exploration of devotion in all its divine and more destructive forms. It includes stories about a corporate stooge's attempts to regain control of his life, a policeman whose long-lost-at-sea wife returns somehow changed, and a cult leader named Omi, played by Dafoe. This is another reminder that Lanthimos is one of the most intriguing — and strange — directors working today, and that he and Stone constitute the most ideal artist-muse duo possible. It is darkly comic, unabashedly mature, and completely immersive.
Kingdom Of The Planet Of The Apes
Apes. Film. Powerful! When Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes was first announced, the excitement for a sequel trilogy to the Planet of the Apes prequel trilogy—which was the precursor to a handful of films made decades earlier—may not have been as high, but Wes Ball, the upcoming director of Legend of Zelda, is making his franchise debut. This latest tale of primate politics, which takes place generations after the Caesar saga in the series, follows Caesar's descendant Noa (Owen Teague) as he struggles with his family's legacy, the arrival of a bothersome human named Mae (Freya Allen), and a power struggle with the more martial-minded would-be heir to the throne of the ape kingdom, Proximus Caesar (a fantastic Kevin Durand). Supported by powerful lead performances, breathtaking photorealistic computer graphics, and a Shakespearean feeling of weight as we return to a world in which the roles of humans and apes have been reversed, this is fantastic simian material that holds out the prospect of even more in this new Apes age.

The Acolyte
Leslye Headland, the mastermind behind Russian Doll, transports the Star Wars universe to a galaxy far, far away in the past with The Acolyte. A part procedural crime thriller, part Force-fu sci-fi spectacular, and not unjustly referred to by Headland as “Frozen meets Kill Bill,” the series is set more than a century before The Phantom Menace. It takes place in the twilight of the High Republic, a time when strong Jedi, golden robes, and Wookiees brandishing lightsabers were commonplace. Here, we meet Mae (Amandla Stenberg), a mysterious Force-user seeking retribution. The crease? Four senior Jedi, including Jedi Master Indara from Carrie-Anne Moss, are among her objectives. Oh no! The Acolyte unmoors Star Wars from the Skywalker Saga and establishes an exciting new era for the franchise to explore with its brand-new (mostly realistic) setting, amazing hand-to-hand action sequences, and fascinating new interpretations of the Force and the Jedi Order. Did we also mention the Wookiees with lightsabers?
Jim Henson: Idea Man
Ron Howard's Jim Henson: Idea Man is a beautiful and affectionate homage to the man who brought millions of parents and kids delight over the past seven decades with The Muppets, Sesame Street, The Dark Crystal, Labyrinth, and more. It is inspirational, celebratory, and of course, Muppetational. Howard's documentary gives viewers a heartwarming cradle-to-grave account of the creative genius and family man, infused with a charming streak of Henson-worthy imagination. It features candid conversations with Henson's friends, family, and collaborators, including puppeteer friend Frank Oz and filmmaker son Brian Henson. You'll chuckle at the wealth of old video of Henson, Oz, and company having fun; you'll be moved by Orson Welles' praise of the Muppets as the greatest thing that has ever happened to television; and you'll undoubtedly cry at the Big Bird climax. Muppetational, celebratory, and uplifting, as we stated.
Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour (Taylor’s Version)
Are you prepared for this? Last year, Taylor Swift's The Eras Tour captivated both the box office and her fans by lighting up our movie screens. In Disney+'s constantly expanding library, The Eras Tour (Taylor's Version) has suddenly discovered a blank space and written its name there. Swift's three-hour concert film, which spans her career, was filmed in front of a sold-out crowd at SoFi stadium in Los Angeles, California, which has a capacity of 70,000. It is truly amazing. The Eras Tour (TV) is created by Taylor to have you dancing around the lounge and singing your heart out. It is musically dynamic, conceptually ambitious, and now even bigger (than the whole sky) thanks to four bonus tracks that are only available to streamers: "I Can See You," "You Are in Love," "Death by a Thousand Cuts," and "Maroon." Don't miss out, regardless of whether you're a lover, have an unexplained romantic relationship with the pop sensation, or are just attracted to them like an unseen thread (like Ian Freer from Empire).
