Disney+ Launches!

Disney+ officially launched this morning at 6am EST.


We previously told you what to expect, back in September including all the theatrical Muppet movies minus The Muppets Take Manhattan and Muppets From Space, only the two most recent TV series: The Muppets (2015), the Muppet Babies reboot. That is precisely what Muppet content is currently available plus the recent series of Muppet Moments shorts. 



















To promote the launch, Disney released a snapshot of EVERY title currently available.


The Muppet clips are at 27:17, 30:34, 45:16, 55:48, 2:31:30, 2:41:40, 2:48:33, and 3:05:46
You can watch the entire a 3 hour(!) clip real below:



You might have noticed that Disney used a clip from The Muppets pilot presentation (2:48:33) and not from the actual series for some reason. 


Most of the Muppet movies so far only offer a clip of the film as a extra except:

The Muppet Movie: 

Deleted scenes from the 35th Anniversary blu-ray including Jim Frawley's camera test

The Muppet Christmas Carol: "When Love is Gone" as a deleted scene. 

The Muppets: Deleted scenes from the blu-ray.

Muppets Most WantedDeleted scenes from the blu-ray.

There are all available in 1080p 5.1, except The Muppet Christmas Carol, which is also available in 4k , HDR10, and Dolby Vision.



TV:


The Muppets (2015): Compete series - 16 episodes
Muppet Babies (2017 -?): First 20 episodes
Muppet Moments: 25 shorts


Initially Disney used the wrong image for The Muppets (2015)

While you can change your profile image from the default Mikey to a plethora of characters, no Muppets are currently available.

Disney+ also had a few bugs while I was checking it out.


It wouldn't recognize my password even though I entered correctly, they initially displayed the wrong header image for The Muppets (2015) - using a publicity shot with Jason Segel and Amy Adams for The Muppets (2011), at first only the first 10 episodes of The Muppets (2015) were available, then the remaining episode appeared, I received an error message when trying to access Muppets Most Wanted, and the entire Muppet Collection disappeared while I was writing this article.


Muppet Collection Missing
Hopefully these issues and any others will be promptly fixed.

UPDATE: 
Muppets Most Wanted is now working and the Muppet Collection has now been restored. 

Muppet Collection and More Returned!

We expect more Muppet stuff to come including Muppets Now! and the Jim Henson Company's Earth to Ned which will both debut sometime in 2020, as well as more classic Muppet content in the future. Also, due to an existing agreement The Jim Henson Company film Alexander and the Terrible, Hobbile, NoGood, Very Bad Day won't be available until November 5 2020.

Alexander's bad day will have to wait
