Disney Plus launched in 2019 with most of Disney’s back catalog, but the platform hasn’t reached maximum capacity just yet. In addition to original content, like upcoming episodes of Doogie Kamealoha, M.D., there’s a host of movies and shows wrapped up under other streaming services and licenses. Each month, a few new titles will trickle onto Disney Plus.
In December, the highly anticipated Boba Fett series will launch on Disney Plus. Disney’s latest theatrical animated feature, Encanto, will also hit streaming on Christmas Eve. From the library, two Ice Age movies (the first and the… fourth for some reason), Edward Scissorhands, and Home Alone 4 find a home. Also, a new Frozen Yule Log video! Just in time for the holiday season.

Diary of a Wimpy Kid Premiere
From Disney: The first book in Jeff Kinney’s worldwide bestselling series comes to Disney+ in the all-new animated adventure Diary of a Wimpy Kid. Greg Heffley is a scrawny but ambitious kid with an active imagination and big plans to be rich and famous – he just has to survive middle school first. To make matters worse, Greg’s lovable best friend Rowley seems to coast through life and succeed at everything without even trying! As details of his hilarious – and often disastrous – attempts to fit in fill the pages of his journal, Greg learns to appreciate true friends and the satisfaction that comes from standing up for what is right. Directed by Swinton Scott (Futurama) and written and produced by Jeff Kinney, Diary of a Wimpy Kid features the voices of Brady Noon (The Mighty Ducks: Game Changers) as Greg Heffley, Ethan William Childress (mixed-ish) as Rowley Jefferson, and Chris Diamantopoulos (Silicon Valley) as Frank Heffley.
Diary of a Wimpy Kid will stream exclusively on Disney+ December 3, 2021.
