Eric must overcome his fears with the help of his friends, his sister, and his aunt in order to find answers and solve the mystery in a dark and unfamiliar world.
Pinocchio
This live-action retelling of the beloved story of a wooden puppet who embarks on a thrilling adventure to become a real boy is directed by Academy Award winner Robert Zemeckis. Geppetto (Tom Hanks) is the woodcarver who builds and cares for Pinocchio (Benjamin Evan Ainsworth) as if he were his own son.

Jennifer Walters (Tatiana Maslany), an attorney specialising in superhuman-related legal cases, must navigate the complicated life of a single 30-something who also happens to be a green 6-foot-7-inch superpowered hulk in Marvel Studios’ “She-Hulk: Attorney at Law.” Mark Ruffalo as Bruce Banner, Tim Roth as Emil Blonsky/Abomination, and Benedict Wong as Wong, as well as Ginger Gonzaga, Josh Segarra, Jameela Jamil, Jon Bass, and Renée Elise Goldsberry, star in the nine-episode comedy series.
Cars on the Road
Lightning McQueen (voice of Owen Wilson) and his best friend Mater (voice of Larry the Cable Guy) embark on a cross-country road trip from Radiator Springs to meet Mater’s sister. Every stop along the way is its own adventure, complete with outrageous roadside attractions and colourful new characters.
Growing Up
“Growing Up” is an innovative hybrid docu-series created by Brie Larson and Culture.House that explores the challenges, triumphs, and complexities of adolescence through ten compelling coming of age stories. The Disney Branded Television series follows one casted individual, ages 18-22, as they tell their story through narrative, experimental, and documentary filmmaking.
They represent a diverse range of lived experiences, providing audiences with emotionally powerful narratives that provide an engaging look at adolescence and the various social, familial, and internal obstacles that young people face on their path to self-discovery and acceptance.
Each 30-minute episode focuses on one young person, or “hero,” and their growing-up experience. Each episode is anchored by a deeply personal interview in which our heroes take us on a journey through their childhood and adolescence. In addition to these interviews, creative cinematic reenactments help to bring their major turning points to life.
Epic Adventures with Bertie Gregory
Bertie Gregory, 29, is the face of a new generation of aspirational adventurers and natural history filmmakers, taking viewers on epic and nail-biting journeys into the most spectacular and secretive corners of our wild world.
The Disney+ Hotstar original series “Epic Adventures with Bertie Gregory,” from National Geographic, breaks the mould of the traditional natural history programme by telling extraordinary, true-life animal stories and bringing viewers along for the ride.
The charismatic BAFTA Award-winning cinematographer immerses himself in the lives of the animals for weeks at a time to capture the untold stories of iconic creatures living in some of the harshest environments on our planet.
This season, we’ll see Bertie brave the icy worlds of Antarctica in search of the largest gathering of whales ever filmed, as well as meet specialist buffalo-hunting lions in Zambia. He will take audiences on an ambitious odyssey across the globe in this multipart adventure series, showcasing the natural world at a time when it is facing its greatest challenges.
THE ZONE: Survival Mission
“THE ZONE: Survival Mission” establishes its three hosts as human race representatives before throwing them into eight episodes of unexpected situations in which they must survive for four hours without giving up in order to complete each mission.
Viewers will find themselves laughing aloud as top K-variety hosts Yu Jaeseok, Lee Kwangsoo, and Kwon Yuri struggle to work together and find solutions to the implausible situations they are faced with, pitting the hosts against zombies, a puddle of sticky glue, puzzles, and other situations. Cho Hyojin, the series’ director and mastermind, was one of the original creators of the internationally popular K-variety show Running Man.
Definitely looking forward to what’s in store for Disney+ Hotstar Day especially “Obi-Wan Kenobi: A Jedi’s Return”. You can also check out our review of the Obi-Wan Kenobi “Patterson Cut” special fan edit right here.
