Disney+ Watch Guide: February 28 – March 5

It’s a surprise-filled week on Disney+ with the debut of a new animated series, 101 Dalmatian Street, which was previously announced but did not have a release date. A new weekly series that starts this week is Shop Class, a family friendly competition show where kids and teachers work together to make really cool projects. While not branded as a Disney+ exclusive, one of the new library titles is actually making its US debut with Marvel’s Future Avengers, a Japanese anime series currently in its second season overseas. A lot of other library content is new this week, including Black Panther, and our library highlights section points out two milestone anniversaries happening this week. Whatever you choose to stream, we hope it’s magical.

New Exclusives

Gabi is finally ready to donate the last of her late husband’s belongings, but her feelings change when she finds an old memento.”

Marvel Hero Project – “Superior Salvador”

“Salvador knew he was one of the lucky people in Puerto Rico whose power wasn’t terribly affected by Hurricane Maria but couldn’t understand why it was taking so long to help those who were not as fortunate.

One Day at Disney Shorts – “Lupe de Santiago : Seamstress”

“A seamstress at Disneyland Resort, Lupe de Santiago views her work as a passion rather than a job. Lupe fulfills her dream of working at the park by crafting and maintaining all of the costumes for attractions like It’s a Small World and The Haunted Mansion.
