The INSIDER Summary:
- Netflix announced everything coming to the site in September.
- Four classic ’90s Disney movies will be available to stream: «Mulan,» «Pocahontas,» «Beauty and the Beast,» and «Hercules.»
- Disney has a deal with Netflix until 2019 when it will stop streaming its animated movies.
- It’s a big deal since the company usually keeps its popular animated classics close at hand in the Disney vault, re-releasing popular hits strategically one at a time every few years.
Netflix just released its list of what’s coming and going from the streaming site in September and Disney fans are in luck.
Not one or two, but four classic movies from Disney’s ’90s renaissance will be available next month. Here’s the full list and when you can expect them on the site:
9/1/2017: «Hercules» (1997)
9/1/2017: «Mulan» (1998)
9/14/2017: «Pocahontas» (1995)
9/19/2017: «Beauty and the Beast» (1991)
The new additions will join a plethora of Disney and Pixar animated movies that are already available:
«Moana»
«Zootopia»
«Lilo & Stitch»
«The Emperor’s New Groove»
«Finding Dory»
«Atlantis the Lost Empire»
«An Extremely Goofy Movie»
«Chicken Little»
«Disney’s Short Film’s Collection»
«Tinkerbell»
«Stitch! The Movie»
«Fantasia»
«Pocahonatas II: Journey to a New World»
«Tarzan II»
«Kronk’s New Groove»
«Lilo & Stitch 2: Stitch Has A Glitch»
«Brother Bear 2»
Why this is a big deal
While Disney has been re-releasing older and newer movies on Netflix for a while now, this is a big deal for a few reasons. Disney hasn’t released that many of its big, popular animated classics at once on the streaming site. You’ll usually see a mix of new Disney releases like «Moana» with older films like «The Nightmare Before Christmas» and live-action films like «The Mighty Ducks» and «Homeward Bound.»
Fans of the Mouse House are probably excited as well because these movies are usually locked in the Disney Vault only to resurface on home video every few years. Disney usually re-releases its classics about every seven years so they’re considered fresh for a new generation of younger children.
Getting four of them in the same month is an extra special treat.
