Updated: There has been another round of content removal from Disney+, this time in the Emea region, which consists of Europe, the Middle East and Africa. More than 120 titles have been taken off this week, primarily Disney Channel original movies and vintage Disney live-action films, as well as a few series, including Zeke and Luther, Pepper Ann, So Random and the first three seasons of Nat Geo’s Genius and ESPN/Nat Geo docs.
According to sources, the takedowns were a result of a library title review. There have been several content purges at Disney+ over the last year amid cost-cutting, most notably the removal of a slew of original series last May.
Here is a list of movie titles that are said to be gone from Disney+ in Emea, compiled by Drew Ryan.
A Tale of Two Critters
America’s Heart and Soul

Long ago, the 1950s ended and Disney never really got over it.
With the right kind of eyes, a casual viewer can look at the early days of Walt Disney Studios as their heyday. Walt himself was still alive and using his aggressive business acumen to produce visually innovative and award-winning animated shorts that were helping put the studio on the map. Without the Silly Symphonies, animation would not be the same. Warner Bros. outstripped Disney's fare with their cheekier, funnier shorts in the 1940s and 1950s, but the folks at Warner's Termite Terrace were very open about the fact that Merrie Melodies and Looney Tunes were ripping off Disney's Silly Symphonies name. Disney Animation broke onto the scene in 1937 with the release of "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs," still celebrated as one of the best of all animated films to this day.

Disney has shared a new trailer for their upcoming Disney+ streaming service and it’s over 3-hours long! I don’t know if you want to spend over three hours seeing what Disney+ has to offer when it launches, but you have the option!
Disney+ also posted all of the films and TV shows coming to the streaming service on a super long Twitter thread, which I included below the trailer. As you’ll see there’s a ton of stuff that will be available that will make Disney fans happy. Gargoyles and several other classic 90s animated series are among them along with a lot of old weird films that have been pulled out of the Disney vault.
If you don’t want to watch the trailer or scroll through the Twitter feed, I shared the full list of titles for you. Check everything out below and let us...

Guest Reviewer Lee Broughton is back, with a rodent roundup of horror, or more accurately, psychological suspense interrupted by a few salacious slayings. What would Mickey say?
The brief synopses of Daniel Mann’s Willard and Phil Karlson’s Ben that appeared in the horror movie books and magazines that kids in the UK loved to pore over during the late 1970s always gave the impression that this pair of killer rat films were hardcore horror shows.
In truth, the actual horror content of both films is relatively mild and infrequent. In spite of this, Willard and Ben still tend to be discussed in terms of their relation to the often more extreme movies that appeared in the “animals attack” cycle of horror films that flourished during the 1970s.
That particular subgenre represents something of a niche interest area that is governed by a pretty tight set of boundaries. The...

The “Everything Wrong With” team is back with another one of their movie-sin-counting videos, and this time they’re sticking it to “Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice” with a 21-minute (!!) look at, well, everything wrong with Zack Snyder’s superhero mash-up. With DC’s latest entry into their Dceu, “Suicide Squad,” hitting theaters today amidst already big box office returns and increasingly poor critical reception, the timing couldn’t be better for DC’s arguably biggest disappointment yet.
The video comes out blazing, upbraiding the film’s opening minutes for its use of non-story-enhancing narration (fair), Snyder’s insistence on showing his audience the death of the Wayne parents yet again (a personal pet peeve) and the “over-goddamn-use-of-goddamn-slow-motion.” And that’s just the first minute.

Most Americans are probably familiar with the threats the Amazon region faces against countries and businesses looking to extract resources, but few probably understand just how greatly the region is embattled in conflict over this issue. That’s all about to change with the upcoming documentary “When Two Worlds Collide,” which plunges viewers straight into the middle of an escalating battle between those who want to use the Amazon for its resources and those who want to protect it.

Directed by newcomers Heidi Brandenburg Sierralta & Mathew Orzel, “When Two Worlds Collide” centers around two opposing Peruvian leaders who want desperately to keep their respective goals intact.

It’s hard to believe another season of TBS’ procedural spoof “Angie Tribeca” has come and gone, but that’s exactly the world we’re living in as the show wraps up its hilarious run this Monday on TBS. Viewers have been treated to two seasons of “Angie Tribeca” this year (Season 1 premiered in January), so it’s going to be an extra painful wait for the recently announced third season. Fortunately, the Season 2 finale is bringing all the goofball comedy we love from the series.

The prime minister named the final part of the movie as one of his favourite film moments. Is he just trying to be edgy and populist, or is he on to something?
David Cameron is something of a renegade. He walks his own path, dances to the beat of his own rhythms. That's why, when the Daily Mail asked him for his five favourite films, he listed five classics (including Lawrence of Arabia, Casablanca and Schindler's List) before adding "and the last 10 minutes of Shrek 2".
While Cameron's inclusion of Shrek 2 might simply be a misjudged stab at tedious zoinks-a-lummy political faux-populism, perhaps he's on to something. Perhaps the last 10 minutes of Shrek 2 really do constitute the sixth-best film of all time. Let's take a closer look at it – completely out of context, because if the rest of the film isn't good enough for David Cameron, it's not...
