Disney+ and Hulu are the best places to watch Disney-owned content but like several other streaming services, some movies and shows don't stick around. This time, Disney is pulling some of it own productions from streaming platforms.
Disney CEO Bob Iger announced the company's intentions to remove content from its streaming services after a sharp drop in subscriber count, with Disney+ losing 4 million subscribers in the first quarter of 2023. Among the movies and shows axed, we have Willow, The World According to Jeff Goldblum, Big Shot, and Rosaline. The full list is below.

In total, 58 shows are leaving the platform, the majority of them (45) leaving Disney+. There's no stated reason for the removal. Warner Bros Discovery recently removed many shows and movies from HBO Max (which will soon be "Max"), reportedly to avoid paying residuals to the production staff. Disney might be doing the same here.
If you want to watch any of the above shows, make sure to tune into Disney+ or Hulu and watch it before they vanish. That's pretty soon, though, with the shows disappearing on May 26.
