Other than the Disney classics and Marvel blockbusters, here are some hidden gems that you can also find on Disney+!
Always have a problem choosing what to watch? Here are some lesser-known shows and films available on Disney+ to start the ball rolling!
Streaming platforms have become a ubiquitous part of our daily lives, offering us a plethora of movies, TV shows, documentaries, and more to choose from. One of our favourites is Disney+, especially with its Marvel content (you can consider us some of the biggest MCU nerds in Singapore).
But let’s be real, many of us tend to stick to the same old favourites and overlook some of the hidden gems that are lurking in the depths of these platforms. These less-known offerings may not be as heavily advertised or as popular as the mainstream content, but they often offer a refreshing change of pace and can be a great way to discover new and exciting content.
These hidden treasures are waiting to be uncovered and appreciated by viewers who are willing to step outside of their comfort zone. So, the next time you’re scrolling through Disney+, take a chance on something new and exciting, and you might just discover your next favourite show or movie.
1. Disney’s Live Experiences from Your Couch
“We don’t talk about Bruno, no, no!” But we must talk about him. If this song has been stuck in your head but you have no idea where this was from, it’s a sign to watch Encanto at the Hollywood Bowl now. All-rounded star Stephanie Beatriz, known for her role as Rosa Diaz in the Fox/NBC comedy series Brooklyn Nine-Nine, reprises her role as Mirabel in the live version of Encanto. Older classics that have been adapted to live specials, such as Beauty and the Beast: A 30th Celebration and The Wonderful World of Disney Presents The Little Mermaid Live! are also available on Disney+. What other way to bring the young and old to have a magical time together?
2. Jam Out to Concerts from Your Favourite Pop Stars
The live experiences don’t stop there. For those who can never seem to get their tickets for live concerts, this is the perfect place to watch your favourite idols to catch their live performances – over and over again!
