Several fan-favorite films are coming to the device of your choice this very weekend… Swing into Saturday with a viewing of the animated hit film Disney’s Tarzan. Then, watch Hiro, Baymax, and their pals save San Fransokyo in Walt Disney Animation Studios’ Big Hero 6, airing Sunday; that same day, celebrate the second anniversary of the coming-of-age story Stargirl. Mature audience can view the high-octane drama Ford v. Ferrari later that day. And round off the weekend with the hilarious animated film Spies in Disguise airing later that evening.
Tarzan—Saturday, March 12, at 8:30 a.m. ET, on Freeform
Tarzan (voice of Tony Goldwyn), a man raised by gorillas, learns to survive in the animal kingdom with the help of his pals Terk (voice of Rosie O’Donnell) and Tantor (voice of Wayne Knight). However, the arrival of a team of explorers rocks his world when he discovers he’s human like them—and not an ape. Ultimately, Tarzan is forced to choose between his two worlds: a life he knows and loves with his animal family, or a life with Jane (voice of Minnie Driver) in England. Come for the heartwarming story… and stay for the iconic soundtrack composed by Phil Collins.
Big Hero 6—Sunday, March 13, at 3 p.m. ET, on Disney Channel

Miller)—and the group become an unlikely team of heroes.
Stargirl—Sunday, March 13, on Disney+
Based on the New York Times’ best-selling young adult novel by Jerry Spinelli, this coming-of-age film tells the story of Leo Borlock (Graham Verchere), an unassuming high schooler who finds himself inexplicably drawn to the free-spirited new girl Susan Caraway (Grace VanderWaal)—whose eccentric personality changes how he sees the world.

Spies in Disguise—Sunday, March 13, at 8:55 p.m. ET, on Freeform
