What is Disney+ Day?

Last year, Disney turned the second birthday of Disney+ into an event called Disney+ Day. It coordinated a bunch of festivities for Disney+ subscribers, including various deals and savings, new content to watch, and a stack of new trailers and sneak peeks.

Now it's back for a repeat.

Nearly every corner of Disney's massive empire takes part in Disney+ Day, including Disney+ itself, of course.

Pinocchio

The new live-action movie of Pinocchio has premiered on Disney+ as part of the celebrations.

This time up, he's dealing with the fact that his ex-girlfriend Jane Foster (Natalie Portman) has taken up Mjolnir herself, and it's a bundle of fun.
