Disney+ is home to so many of Marvel’s beloved classic animated series, including two of the most celebrated in X-Men The Animated and Spider-Man: The Animated Series. Unfortunately one of those has suddenly disappeared from the service, and we’re not really sure why. Disney+ users started noticing the show’s absence yesterday, and while the other Spider-Man animated series are still on the service, the 1994 series, which is the most popular of Spidey’s animated offerings, is now absent. That’s a bummer for sure, but the biggest question is why, and while we don’t have that answer yet, we do know the show is coming back.

@PeteyBatts reached out to Disney+’s helpline, and while they didn’t reveal why the show had mysteriously vanished, they did say they are aware of the issue, and more importantly added that the show will be returning to the service shortly. That said, they didn’t share an exact date. Here’s their response.
Don’t worry folks. Spider-Man 1994 will be added back to Disney+ at a later date. pic.twitter.com/k9FEJTMN0Z
