Disney's Streaming Services: Disney+ (and Hulu, ESPN+, Star, & hotstar)

[Slpy3270]

Spider-Man: The Animated Series has been abruptly removed from Disney+ in many countries, including the US.

I have to assume this is to fix the messed up episode order, since movies/shows removed for contractual reasons tend to be gone by the beginning or end of the month.

7 weeks till Loki. Though we have Bad Batch next week I really wish they moved Loki up so its final episode isn't competing with Black Widow.

Don't forget MODOK on May 21!

And the supervillain, Cruella, on May 28.

But for true MCU goodness, Black Widow was supposed to be coming out in this MCU pause between series, but that got pushed back.

Not to mention that at one time Shang-Chi had a Feb 2021 release date and Eternals was Nov 2020 and Doctor Strange was May 2021!!!

Its just releasing on May the 4th, for Star Wars Day. After that it'll go to Fridays, unless something changed.

Premiere Tuesday for May the 4th (Be With You), then head to Fridays after, I believe.

So there's only one "season" for Adventures in Wonderland, but it's actually the vast majority of the 100 episodes that were made over the show's 4-year run.

Looking at the episode listing, there are 2 episode 62s and 87, 96 and 99 are the ones that are missing.

Mercifully, the episodes are 4:3 and have not been cropped.

Lemme guess: the OJ Simpson episode is one of those missing?

Oklahoma! is the Todd-AO version at 30 fps and 2.20:1 aspect ratio.

The movie was also shot in 24fps CinemaScope with a 2.55:1 aspect ratio.

Todd-AO was preferred by R&H and the whole reason the movie got made to being with. It was meant to be projected onto a curved screen so the image when laid out flat can look warped on the ends at times. "Smilebox" is how some Cinerama movies have been released to blu-ray as a way of correcting this.

Looks great on D+!

My friend in his 40s kept remarking how good it looked. He couldn't believe it was a late 50's movie.

I thought of Soarin’ as well when I watched it. Made me think it would be interesting to do a SW themed version of the ride for a special occasion
