Disney+ Watch Guide: November 17th-23rd

Remember last week on Disney+ when there were a ton of new originals for Disney+ Day? Hold on to that feeling because this is the first week in the history of the Disney-branded streaming service without a brand-new original. But that’s okay because there are tons to catch up on and there are lots of new additions to the library, including the wide release of the documentary film Adventure Thru the Walt Disney Archives. There are also a few big anniversaries this week, including 30 years of the Oscar-winning Beauty and the Beast. Whatever you choose to stream this week, we hope it’s magical.
