In my house, we have completely and utterly destroyed our DVD copies of Pixar masterpieces.
Our copies of “Toy Story,” “Finding Nemo” (save for the first heartbreaking minutes which we always skip), and my daughter’s absolute favorite, “Monsters, Inc.” (she can’t get enough of Mike and Sulley) have become pitifully scratched and worn after being in the (tiny) hands of our little girl.
Thankfully, with the debut of Disney Plus, we now have the entire Pixar catalog available to stream 24/7. So when the mood strikes and my daughter wants to watch "Ratatouille", "A Bug's Life," or "Brave" right away, we can.
And it seems like other households are jumping on board Disney Plus as well. More than 10 million people subscribed to Disney Plus on the first day it launched, with subscriptions expected to hit 18 million by the end of 2020 and 90 million globally by 2024.
What is Disney Plus and how much does it cost?
Disney Plus is a new streaming service with unlimited ad-free downloads of movies and shows from Disney, Pixar, Marvel, Star Wars, National Geographic, and 20th Century Fox. New subscribers can sign up for a free seven-day trial after which an annual subscription will cost $69.99 while a monthly subscription will cost $6.99 and a bundle with Hulu and ESPN+ will cost $12.99 a month.
Here's everything to know about the service along with plan breakdowns.
Can I watch Pixar movies and shows on Disney Plus?
You sure can.
Disney Plus is home to nearly every Pixar movie and short film ever made. This includes classics like "Toy Story" and recent releases like "Coco".
In fact, the only major Pixar title currently missing from the Disney Plus library is "Incredibles 2." Due to existing licensing agreements, that movie is still streaming on Netflix. With that said, "Incredibles 2" is set to switch over to Disney Plus on July 30, 2020.
And it's not only existing Pixar features that are available for streaming either - the studio has created new shows exclusively for Disney Plus. Notable originals available to watch right now include "Forky Asks A Question."
When will 'Onward' be on Disney Plus?
In light of current events, Disney has announced plans to release Pixar's "Onward" on Disney Plus much earlier than originally expected. Disney Plus subscribers will be able to start streaming the film on April 3, 2020.
"Onward" is set in a fantasy world where two elf brothers use magic to get a chance to spend a day with their late father. The movie stars the vocal talents of Tom Holland, Chris Pratt, and Julia Louis-Dreyfus.
"Onward" originally debuted in theaters on March 6, 2020. Recent theatrical releases are typically held for several months before they're added to streaming platforms, but "Onward" will arrive on Disney Plus less than 30 days after its theatrical premiere. This shortened window is being offered as a way to present families with a new title to watch at home during the current health crisis.
What other Pixar titles are coming to Disney Plus?
More Pixar titles are set to be added to Disney Plus throughout the year.
"Incredibles 2" will arrive on July 30, 2020. In addition, Disney is developing a brand-new show based on Pixar's "Monsters, Inc." exclusively for Disney Plus. The new series, titled "Monsters at Work," is set to debut on Disney Plus later this year.
With so many Pixar shows and films already available on Disney Plus, and more set to arrive over the coming months, it can be difficult to keep track of every title. With that in mind, we've listed every Pixar movie and show announced for Disney Plus so far.
Here are all the Pixar movies and shows you can watch on Disney Plus:
'Forky Asks a Question'
Tony Hale ("Veep," "Arrested Development") returns to Pixar as Forky from "Toy Story 4." The 10-part series features the anthropomorphic spork exploring deep questions such as "What is love?," "What is time?," and "What is cheese?"
'Monsters at Work'
The series "Monsters at Work" will be a sequel to "Monsters, Inc." as the animated Monstropolis transitions from scare power to laugh power. Ben Feldman ("Mad Men") and Aisha Tyler ("CSI") join Billy Crystal (as Mike Wazowski) and John Goodman (as Sulley).
An exact release date hasn't been announced yet, but "Monsters at Work" is set to start streaming on Disney Plus later this year.
'SparkShorts'
"SparkShorts" is a project in which Pixar Animation Studios employees create their own short stories with the support of the studio. These shorts offer a place to discover new talent from within the company and to explore new storytelling techniques from across the studio.
'Pixar in Real Life'
This hidden camera show features interactions between Pixar characters and people in the real world. As revealed in the trailer, you'll see moments like WALL-E walking through a public park and uniformed agents from the Child Detection Agency in "Monsters, Inc." picking up a lost sock on the sidewalk.
