Disney has responded to fan complaints over the removal of multiple Disney Plus movies and shows, many of which were highly rated.
As first reported by What's on Disney Plus on Sunday (September 29), the entertainment giant axed numerous Disney Plus Originals from the streaming service's library. Critically-acclaimed projects, such as historical drama A Small Light, which holds a perfect 100% critical rating on Rotten Tomatoes, and the Willem Dafoe-starring adventure-drama film Togo (92% critical score on Rotten Tomatoes) are among the 25 productions that are no longer available to stream.
It isn't just certain nations that have been impacted by this latest back-catalog culling, either. I've checked Disney Plus' library in the US, UK, and Australia, and I can confirm that none of these films or TV series are now viewable in these countries. It appears, then, that they've been permanently removed worldwide. It also appears that projects like A Small Light, which debuted exclusively on Hulu in the US, have been axed from Disney Plus' sister streamer, too.
