An unlikely group of heroes set off on a dangerous quest to places far beyond their home. The new Santa Claus is set to take over for Scott Calvin, but there are still some issues with the snowglobe. And the Mighty Ducks join forces with Team Dominate to take on elite hockey players from Canada and a familiar foe. Plus, Mickey Saves Christmas and the Disney parks get in the holiday spirit. Let’s take a look at what to watch this weekend on Disney+.

WILLOW

An epic period fantasy series with a modern sensibility set in an enchanted land of breathtaking beauty, “Willow” features a diverse international cast with Jonathan Kasdan, Ron Howard, Wendy Mericle, Kathleen Kennedy, and Michelle Rejwan serving as executive producers. The story began with an aspiring magician from a Nelwyn village and an infant girl destined to unite the realms, who together helped destroy an evil queen and banish the forces of darkness. Now, in a magical world where brownies, sorcerers, trolls, and other mythical creatures flourish, the adventure continues, as an unlikely group of heroes set off on a dangerous quest to places far beyond their home, where they must face their inner demons and come together to save their world.
