Disney+ Launches 24/7 Animated Classics Stream

Disney+ has introduced a new 24/7 stream of Animated Classics, featuring a selection of classic Disney animated features, plus one surprise inclusion.

What's Happening:

• The newest 24/7 dedicated channel added to Disney+ is Animated Classics, featuring a number of classic Disney animated films, such as Bambi, Fantasia, The Great Mouse Detective, Peter Pan, and more.
• A few more modern Disney animated films are also included, like Atlantis: The Lost Empire, Dinosaur, Home on the Range and The Princess and the Frog.
• You'll even find some more obscure animated features from Disney's catalogue, like The Black Cauldron and The Adventures of Ichabod and Mr. Toad.

• Two films not produced by Walt Disney Animation Studios are also included, one of those being A Goofy Movie, which was produced by Disney Toon Studios.
• One immediate outlier is Anastasia, a film originally produced by 20th Century Fox Animation, that many Disney fans had to correct their friends when they incorrectly stated was a Disney film.
• It’s easy to see why, as the 1997 film follows many of the Disney animated tropes of the time, such as a female title character and catchy songs.
• The film eventually became part of the Disney family when Disney purchased 20th Century Fox in 2019.

• Animated Classics is now a part of a collection of Streams available to all Disney+ subscribers including The Simpsons, ABC News, featuring live newscasts, breaking news, live events, and in-depth special reports through their 24/7 livestream, and Disney+ Playtime, which includes all-time favorites for younger viewers.
