In addition to the introductory offer, Disney announced that many new and existing titles will premiere on the streaming service on Disney+ Day. Thor: Love and Thunder, Obi-Wan Kenobi: A Jedi’s Return, Cars on the Road, and the aforementioned Pinocchio will all be available to stream on Disney+ Day.

Disney+ Day is making its triumphant return this year on September 8, and significant developments are starting to roll in. The big news comes from the Marvel Cinematic Universe as Thor: Love and Thunder will be available to stream on Disney+ Day.

Directed by Taika Waititi, the fourth Thor movie starring Chris Hemsworth pits the God of Thunder against Gorr the God Butcher (Christian Bale), who attempts to rid the world of the gods. Thor turns to Valkyrie (Tessa Thompson) and Jane Foster (Natalie Portman) for help, with the latter developing the identity of Mighty Thor. A documentary, Marvel Studios Assembled: The Making of Thor: Love and Thunder, will be available to stream on September 8 as well.

How to turn off subtitles on Disney+

The Disney Plus app interface on a smart TV.

Oh, glorious Disney. The lifeblood of our childhoods and the all-giving hub of fun and fancy-free, the Disney brand has been around for nearly a century, encompassing everything from Mickey and his cartoon companions to the famous theme parks built on Walt's dreams. Not to mention that the company is also home to a bevy of acquisitions, from 20th Century Fox's catalog to Star Wars, Marvel, and National Geographic. In 2019, Disney+ launched, a streaming app encompassing nearly all of Disney's film and TV show archive, with new originals and offerings from the company's acquisitions to round out the roster.

And even more powerful is the Disney Bundle, which gets you Disney+, ESPN+ and a basic Hulu subscription for just $14 a month, which basically means you're getting three services for the price of two.
