Disney+ next month (August 2020) plans to add 41 new TV shows and movies to its lineup, including 17 originals.
The new titles will include The One and Only Ivan, a Disney original animated movie about a 400-pound silverback gorilla who shares a home in a shopping mall with an elephant named Stella; and Phineas and Ferb The Movie: Candace Against the Universe, a Disney original animated movie about the silly stepbrothers who decide to travel the galaxy to rescue their friend, Candace.
There will also be new episodes of Muppets Now, One Day at Disney, and Disney Family Sundays.
Also notable: Disney+ on July 31 will debut Black Is King (pictured above), Beyonce’s new video album which was inspired by last year’s The Lion King: The Gift movie.
“Black Is King’ is a celebratory memoir for the world on the Black experience,” Disney and Beyonce said in a joint statement announcing the project. “The film is a story for the ages that informs and rebuilds the present. A reunion of cultures and shared generational beliefs. A story of how the people left most broken have an extraordinary gift and a purposeful future.”
