Disney+ is pulling out all the stops this March!
The streamer just announced several new titles that will become available to stream throughout the month, starting with Disney and Pixar’s Turning Red on March 11. The film introduces Mei Lee (voice of Rosalie Chiang), a confident, dorky 13-year-old torn between staying her mother’s dutiful daughter and the chaos of adolescence. Her protective (if not slightly overbearing) mother, Ming (voice of Sandra Oh), is never far from her daughter—an unfortunate reality for the teenager. As if changes to her interests, relationships, and body weren’t enough, whenever Mei Lee gets too excited (which is practically ALWAYS), she “poofs” into a giant red panda! Also premiering that day will be Embrace the Panda: Making Turning Red, a documentary about the all-women team at the helm of Pixar’s original feature. With behind-the-scenes access to director Domee Shi and her core leadership crew, this story shines a light on the powerful professional and personal journeys that brought this heartfelt story to the screen.
A week later, on March 18, Disney+ will premiere two new original films. Cheaper by the Dozen is a fresh take on the 2003 hit family comedy that follows the raucous exploits of a blended family of 12, the Bakers, as they navigate a hectic home life while simultaneously managing their family business. The movie stars Gabrielle Union, Zach Braff, Erika Christensen, Timon Kyle Durrett, Journee Brown, Kylie Rogers, Andre Robinson, Caylee Blosenski, Aryan Simhadri, Leo Abelo Perry, Mykal-Michelle Harris, Christian Cote, Sebastian Cote, and Luke Prael. More Than Robots, meanwhile, is an original documentary presented by Supper Club and Disney+ and made in partnership with FIRST®. It follows four teams of teens from around the world as they prepare for the 2020 FIRST Robotics Competition. Get to know teams from Los Angeles, Mexico City and Chiba, Japan as they work towards the goal of taking their unique designs all the way to the highly competitive global championships. Despite their various obstacles, they persevere and learn there is more to the competition than just robots.
The series Parallels, premiering March 23 with all episodes, follows four teenage friends on the French-Swiss border whose lives are turned upside down after a mysterious event scatters them across time and into separate universes. With two friends in the present day, and the other two in a completely separate timeline, they must find a way to reunite, unravel the mysteries of what happened, and then return home—before their futures are altered forever.
As we announced earlier today, OLIVIA RODRIGO: driving home 2 u (a SOUR film) will premiere on March 25. Grammy® Award-nominated singer-songwriter Olivia Rodrigo takes a familiar road trip from Salt Lake City, where she began writing her debut album SOUR, to Los Angeles. Along the way, Rodrigo recounts the memories of writing and creating her record-breaking debut album and shares her feelings as a young woman navigating a specific time in her life. Through new live arrangements of her songs, intimate interviews, and never-before-seen footage from the making of the album, the cinematic journey explores the story of SOUR. In The Wonderful Spring of Mickey Mouse, also debuting March 25, Mickey Mouse and his friends explore the promise of the spring season through the lens of a nature documentary.
Closing out the premieres in March will be Marvel Studios’ highly anticipated series Moon Knight, streaming March 30. (Watch a Big Game spot here.) When Steven Grant (Oscar Isaac), a mild-mannered gift-shop employee, becomes plagued with blackouts and memories of another life, he discovers he has dissociative identity disorder and shares a body with mercenary Marc Spector. As Steven/Marc’s enemies converge upon them, they must navigate their complex identities while thrust into a deadly mystery among the powerful gods of Egypt.
In addition, brand-new episodes of the Disney+ Original series The Proud Family: Louder and Prouder will continue to debut weekly on Wednesdays. Throughout the month, the streamer will add episodes of fan-favorite series such as Mickey Mouse Funhouse and Muppet Babies, as well as complete seasons of Brain Games: On the Road and The Doc Files. As previously announced, the Oscar®-nominated film West Side Story will make its streaming debut March 2.
