We may be stuck inside our homes for a while, but Disney+ is making sure there is plenty of new streaming content to check out over the next month or so. On Wednesday, Disney released the full list of movies, TV shows, and new original episodes that are coming to the service in April. The list includes every single addition arriving on the United States version of Disney+ next month.

The biggest title coming to the service in April is Disney and Pixar’s Onward, which normally wouldn’t arrive on Disney+ until late this year or early 2021. However, due to the coronavirus pandemic shutting down theaters and keeping people in their homes, Disney is making Onward available for purchase on-demand beginning March 20th, followed by its Disney+ debut on April 3rd.
Considering April is Earth Month, Disney+ is adding a bunch of documentaries from Disneynature and National Geographic, all focusing on the world around us and the animals inhabiting it. Additionally, Disney is releasing a couple of new documentaries early in the month, one of which is focused on dolphins and narrated by Natalie Portman.
Brand new episodes of Disney+ original shows will arrive on each Friday throughout the month. This includes series like Star Wars: The Clone Wars, One Day at Disney, and Shop Class.
Perhaps the most anticipated addition to the Disney+ roster comes at the end of the month. National Treasure is making its move from Netflix to Disney+ on April 30th, so users can finally enjoy both films in the franchise on the same platform.
Check out the full list of new Disney+ arrivals below.
