Title: Disney+

I did it. Folded my discounted Hulu into the bundled program, so it's 13.27 for Disney, Hulu, and apparently ESPN+, which I occasionally have used to watch Monday night football. (I have but watched ESPN in a decade!) But it's there now.

So many choices! And lots of kids shows, so they'll love that

Yep, said I was going to wait and let them get a couple of episodes of The Mandalorian in before I signed up and instead I made it until 10:30 AM.
 :D

First thing I did, being the old fart I be, was added some of my favortie movies as I young one onto my watchlist like:
Escape to Witch Mountain (the original 70's version)
The Nutty Professor (the original 60's version)
The Shaggy Dog (the original 50's version)
The Shaggy DA (tho "companion" piece  :D)
and so much more ... Oh, I forgot to look for The Black Hole!!!

And the first thing I watched was my favorite Marvel movie - The Winter Soldier. I haven't been able to find that movie on anything other than freaking TNT or USA network so when the opportunity came for me to get this version and watch it again I jumped at it. SOOOO GOOOD!!!!

Now I just have to get used to Commercials on Hulu  :-\ I signed up for commercial free, just to watch the second season of Castle Rock (also soooo goood  ;D) and watched episode 5 ... or 6 ... last night and it was commercial free, so I guess they are going to let me keep it for the rest of the month. YAY

Oh, and the Madilorian ... which I waited for the wife to see ... was pretty good. Some issues like -
Why did he spend time training on and then riding those creatures to ... his goal (not even typing what that was  ;)) instead of just flying over to near where he had to go? Did they mention the other guys had a ship radar or something else I missed?
but it was enjoyable non-the-less. Especially the last part. And I loved
Taika Waititi as the IG droid. Loved that entire part. Hated the outcome though.

I too got the bundle to combine it with my Hulu account which I never watch. And now have ESPN+ which I will I never watch.   :D

Speaking of never watching - I still haven't even logged into my Disney+ account!   :o

I've watched both Mandolorian eps so far. Fun, without being insulting or making me toss out what I loved about Star Wars as a kid.

And, it's been nothing but HD viewing of Finding Nemo, Cars, and Mickey Mouse Clubhouse for the kids ever since!  :D

my son purchase the sub and we are sharing his access.

almost too much to watch (Perry...Black Hole is available).  I watched the 1st episode of Gargloyles on Friday on my PC but then tried to watch ep 2 on my Macbook and got audio but no visual :( going to have to look into that.

I also saw listed Swiss Family Robinson and The Snowball Express...two favs when i was a kid that i havent see in probably 40yrs.  Another good one is an uncut version of 20,000 Leagues Under The Sea.  I can only remember seeing this on TV and it has most likely been cut for time so be curious if there are "lost" scenes.  Of all the Disney live action movies, this one should be up fro a remake.
