Agreed. 90’s cartoons as a whole were good. The Disney stuff to this day works just as well as it did back then. I’m actually pretty impressed that this is the case.

I knew I was subbing from the initial announcement for Spider-Man alone. Everything else is just extra goodness at this point.

Would you say most people are mad,happy,or neutral about the decision to have weekly shows as opposed to just dumping all episodes of a season at once on the service?
@dangerous_j I’m neutral leaning into happy about it.
On one hand The instant gratification side of me (and anyone who has been spoiled by Netflix) really wants Disney to season dump their originals.
I immediately felt like I was going through withdrawals after each Mandalorian Episode.
However. The weekly releases outweighs that, I think.
It calms down on people being shit stains and spoiling it for everyone.
Brings back the feeling of “water cooler talk” for shit that isn’t walking dead or game of thrones. The trend is only going to continue once new MCU content and even more SW Universe content starts dripping into the service over the next few years.
Gives people something to look forward to after a long week.
Makes each episode feel more special.
Let’s you arrange times to watch with family, friends or SO’s easier. The family part I feel is one of their biggest deciding factors as to why they decided on the weekly episodic format.
I’m also someone who buys season passes for shows on iTunes on the regular and watch a lot of anime’s that air weekly. So I don’t mind the slow drip.

Meh, there were a few weekly releases on Hulu so I don’t care honestly.
I was never a stickler for everything being available at once. Is it nice? Hell yeah, but then I just binge it and wreck my time management.

I couldn’t find that when I looked on Friday.
So far, I’m pretty impressed with the content. After watching Mandalorian, which is why I signed up, my wife and I had D+ on pretty much all weekend. We watched Lady and the motherfucking Tramp (OG version), Mary Poppins, fucking Alice doing her acid trip through Wonderland, some Goofy shit, some archaeology shit about Stonehenge, and some cool wild animal videos. There was a snow leopard that killed a fucking deer by jumping off a fucking 200 ft cliff with it. What the fuck.

Also yes it gives you something to talk about more often cause everyone is itching for the new episode. I missed that a lot.

Awesome. I didn’t do a search for it, just didn’t see it while browsing. Glad to see it’s there!

I still want to watch that but my first weekend was OG DuckTales, The Mandalorian, Marvel cartoons and trying to find what Saturday morning stuff made the initial cut. Sad to say I have yet to find any travel of Pepper Ann, but found Recess and will see if they did right by that brother Filmore.
Pepper Ann was great.

Disney states the “continue watching” feature among others will be added to Disney+ in the near future.

Be sure to update the app

Oh. Another update needed is a runtime status bar so you know what episodes you’ve watch or how far you’re into an episode. I know that’s similar to a resume watching tab or whatever but they go hand in hand. Literally every streaming service does it. Lol

How the hell did they miss this?

I dunno. But I’ve been frustrated with watching clone wars because of it. I’ll close the app, go back to the clone wars page on my watch list (ugh), and it’s won’t tell me what episode I left off on. So I basically have to click each episode to see if I have watched that episode. If it’s at the end slate, it’ll auto play the next episode.
Right now I know I’m on season 2 but I don’t know where in season 2 so I had to keep hunting and pecking episodes.
Plz give me a “continue watching” list, a “previously watched” list and fucking runtime status bar in the shows episodes list.
