Among the many titles that have been removed from the website are The Mysterious Benedict Society, the latest iteration of Cheaper By the Dozen, the film Stargirl's latest film, and the 2020 film Artemis Fowl. A slew of angry tweets about the news debuted on the internet as soon as it was announced, social media erupted with a slew of scathing tweets about it. Many internet users expressed dissatisfaction with the company's removal of their favorite shows and movies, particularly because some of them have only been out for a few months. Others pointed out that since Disney is so tight when it comes to streaming its content, the shows and movies that are leaving will be practically 'gone from existence for the public.'

The live-action version of Disney's "The Little Mermaid" is finally here, and although the bulk of the film is unknown, we already know how it will differ from the 1989 version in several ways. Halle Bailey, the lead in the film, is another in Disney's expanding series of remakes. In a 20 December interview with Entertainment Weekly, director Rob Marshall said that the latest film will give Ariel a little more agency than the original, although he doesn't see it as a major departure. "The character goes back to Hans Christian Andersen of another century, but it looks in some ways like a very modern woman, someone who sees her life differently than others around her," he said. However, "the fire is very important" to Ariel's latest film, he said, adding, "her passion is extremely important." "She feels displaced, and it's really an epic tale about discovering your authentic self," he told. But also there needs to be a lot of joy. It's a strange combination of youth and wisdom, as well as a slew of soul and heart. "She is so modern."
