Every month Disney+ adds new series and films to the service. It also adds new seasons of popular shows that are already on the service. Let’s take a look at the Top 5 Films and Series. I’m excited to see each in September 2023.

AHSOKA

Despite debuting in late August, there will be a few episodes of “Star Wars: Ahsoka” released on the service in September. The series follows Anakin Skywalker’s former padawan as she teams up with Sabine and Hera from “Rebels” to save the galaxy from an emerging threat. Creator Dave Filoni has identified “Ahsoka” as essentially the fifth season of “Rebels.” As a fan of “Rebels,” I’m excited to see what some of my favorite animated characters will look like in live action.

THE LITTLE MERMAID

“The Little Mermaid” is the beloved story of Ariel, a beautiful and spirited young mermaid with a thirst for adventure. The youngest of King Triton’s daughters and the most defiant, Ariel longs to find out more about the world beyond the sea and, while visiting the surface, falls for the dashing Prince Eric. While mermaids are forbidden from interacting with humans, Ariel must follow her heart. She makes a deal with the evil sea witch, Ursula, which gives her a chance to experience life on land but ultimately places her life – and her father’s crown – in jeopardy.

This is the only live action remake from Disney I have seen in theaters and I absolutely loved most of it. It was a lot of fun and it worth checking out.

I AM GROOT

The troublemaking twig returns to mischief in the second season of “I Am Groot.” This time, Baby Groot finds himself exploring the universe and beyond aboard the Guardians’ spaceships, coming face-to-face—or nose-to-nose—with new and colorful creatures and environments. Vin Diesel is back as the voice of Groot in five all-new shorts.

Season one of this series of shorts was a lot of fun for Marvel fans and I’m expecting season two to provide even more fun.

DISNEY 100 CLASSIC SHORTS

In September, Disney is releasing six more restored versions of classic Walt Disney Animation Studios animated shorts. These shorts span from 1929 to 1942 and provide a focus on Mickey Mouse, Pluto and other classic Disney characters. It’s all part of the Walt Disney Company’s 100th anniversary celebration.

OSWALD SHORTS

Before Mickey Mouse, there was Oswald the Lucky Rabbit. This original creation from Walt Disney was once considered lost due to Walt losing the rights to the character before he started the Walt Disney company. However, a deal in the early 2000s brought the rights back to Disney and the company has updated a pair of these 1920s shorts and will be putting them on the service in September.

Those are some of the series and films I’m excited to see on Disney+ in September. What are you excited to see?
