Puppy Dog Pals—Thursday, October 15, at 9:30 a.m. ET on Disney Channel
The fur-bulous returns with two brand-new stories. First, in “ARF’s Robot Wish,” ARF (voice of Tom Kenny) wishes he had a brother, so Bingo (voice of Issac Ryan Brown) and Rolly (boice of Sam Lavagnino) make it their mission to help him find a robot sibling. Then, in “Missing Collar Mission,” Bingo and Rolly’s collar accidentally gets mailed to Bonnie (voice of Grey DeLisle-Griffin) in Africa, so the pugs em-bark on a fun adventure to retrieve them.

Clouds—Friday, October 16, on Disney+
Inspired by an incredible true story, this original movie directed by Justin Baldoni centers on Zach Sobiech (Fin Argus), a high school student living with osteosarcoma, a rare bone cancer. At the beginning of his senior year, Zach is ready to take on the world. But after learning the disease has spread, Zach and his best friend and songwriting partner, Sammy (Sabrina Carpenter), decide to spend his limited time following their musical dreams. With the help of Zach’s mentor and teacher, Mr. Weaver (Lil Rel Howery), they sign a record deal. With the support of his girlfriend, Amy (Madison Iseman), and his parents, Rob and Laura (Tom Everett Scott and Neve Campbell), Zach embarks on the journey of a lifetime.
Meet the Chimps—Friday, October 16, on Disney+
Take a peek inside one of the largest and most unique wildlife sanctuaries in the world: Chimp Haven. A 200-acre refuge tucked deep in the heart of Louisiana, it is home to more than 300 chimpanzees. Narrated by Jane Lynch, this six-part original series from National Geographic tracks the ups and downs of this extraordinary group of chimps that are given a second chance at life by a staff whose dedication, compassion, and commitment knows no bounds. Meet the Chimps gives viewers unparalleled access to everything going on at Chimp Haven, including alliances, romances, tantrums—and, of course, monkey business.
