We finally got a confirmed launch date for Disney+, the company’s entry into the streaming service business. With decades of Disney-branded original works, as well as content from years of acquisitions, it may be difficult to keep track of exactly what will be available when the service goes live November 12th, 2019. Here’s a quick look at what will be on Disney+.

Walt Disney Pictures Properties

Original Walt Disney Animation Studios properties that were placed in The Disney Vault like Snow White, Dumbo, Cinderella, and many other classics will become available again in Disney+ along with the modernized versions of the classic movies like Lion King, Dumbo, Jungle Book, etc. Along with Disney Animation movies, Pixar Animation Movies and Shorts will also be available. Spin-off shows based on larger movie properties are being discussed for future additions. Disney has confirmed a Monsters Inc.. show with Billy Crystal and John Goodman returning.
