But don’t forget to tune into the most fantastic thing of all: the Destination D23 livestream on Saturday, September 9! Check it out on D23’s YouTube or Facebook pages (@DisneyD23)—or right here at D23.com/DestinationD23.

In an image from Disney’s live action The Little Mermaid, Ariel (Halle Bailey) and Prince Eric (Jonah Hauer-King) are sitting in a rowboat, surrounded by branches thick with swamp-like leaves; these branches and leaves are hanging down all around them, and are filled with fireflies, lending a romantic atmosphere.

The Little Mermaid – Now Streaming on Disney+

Disney’s live-action reimagining of the 1989 animated classic makes a splash on Disney+. Join Ariel (Halle Bailey), the spirited young mermaid who yearns to explore the human world. With dazzling visuals and heartfelt performances, this new version adds depth and energy to the beloved story. Plus, Disney+ subscribers can access bonus content featuring behind-the-scenes moments and cast interviews.

In an image from the second season of Disney+’s I Am Groot, Baby Groot (voiced by Vin Diesel) is sitting in his small white flowerpot, which has a crack in its side, and is looking up at something off camera. There are some bits of dirt surrounding the pot, and the pot itself is sitting on a table—seemingly inside one of the Guardians’ spaceships.

I Am Groot Season 2 – Now Streaming on Disney+

Baby Groot is back and more mischievous than ever. All five new shorts from Season 2 are now available to stream. Watch the pint-sized Guardian explore new worlds, meet strange creatures, and get into adorable trouble. Vin Diesel returns as the voice of Groot in these bite-sized intergalactic adventures.

In an image from the 1940 classic Walt Disney animated short Bone Trouble, Pluto is walking by a tall mirror while holding a large bone between his teeth. He lifts one front paw and one back paw high in the air as he walks. The mirror distorts his image, making him look taller than he really is.

Restored Classic Disney Shorts – New Batch Streaming Now

In celebration of Disney100, Disney+ is releasing a third batch of restored animated shorts. These include Trolley Troubles (1927), All Wet (1927), The Barn Dance (1929), Playful Pluto (1934), Mickey’s Kangaroo (1935), Merbabies (1938), Bone Trouble (1940), and Pluto, Junior (1942). It’s a golden opportunity to revisit Disney’s early animation legacy in stunning quality.

In an image from Lucasfilm’s Star Wars: Young Jedi Adventures, Master Yoda (voiced by Piotr Michael) with Jedi Younglings, Kai Brightstar (voiced by Jamaal Avery Jr.), Lys Solay (voiced by Juliet Donenfeld) and Nubs (voiced by Dee Bradley Baker), and their friends Nash Durango (voiced by Emma Berman) and RJ-83 (voiced by Jonathan Lipow) are seen standing together on the planet Tenoo. It is nighttime, and lit-up dwellings can be seen behind them. Hills can be seen in the distance.

Star Wars: Young Jedi Adventures – September 8 on Disney Channel & Disney Junior

This week’s new episode includes two stories: “Tree Troubles,” where Nubs and the Jedi protect his favorite tree, and “Big Brother’s Bounty,” which finds the crew helping a young bounty hunter. Catch it Friday morning on Disney Channel and later that evening on Disney Junior.

In a promo image for Disney Branded Television’s BUNK’D, Miranda May as Lou (at center), Trevor Tordjman as Parker, Mallory James Mahoney as Destiny, Israel Johnson as Noah, Shiloh Verrico as Winnie, Luke Busey as Jake, and Alfred Lewis as Bill are standing or seated on the porch of a rustic-looking cabin; above the doorway is a sign reading “Kikiwaka Ranch.”

BUNK’D: Learning the Ropes – September 10 on Disney Channel

Camp shenanigans continue with a brand-new episode titled “Don’t Hate the Mayor, Hate the Game.” Jake and Parker go head-to-head in a mayoral race while Lou plans a fake treasure hunt to spend time with Bill and Destiny. Airs Sunday at 8:30 p.m. ET.
