'Wonderful World of Disney' Movie Night Revived at ABC

......Member when CBS said it was bringing back “Sunday Night at the Movies,” and y’all were like, “That’s nice and all, but I’d love to have ‘The Wonderful World of Disney’ back instead.”

A fairy godmother must have been listening, because your wish has been granted.

ABC has announced that it is reviving its “Wonderful World of Disney” family movie night, though whereas in the past the programming event was typically associated with Sundays (at least that is what rugrat Matt remembers), this time around it will serve up a feature every Wednesday at 8/7c, for four straight weeks.

The news comes amidst ABC enjoying success with its inaugural Disney Family Singalong special, which drew a good crowd on April 16 and will cue up a Mother’s Day-timed encore this Sunday.

Kicking off “The Wonderful World of Disney” on Wednesday, May 20 will be Moana, the animated adventure about a spirited teen who sets sail on a daring mission to fulfill her ancestors’ unfinished quest.

Next up, on May 27, is Thor: The Dark World, the MCU franchise’s follow-up to Thor and The Avengers.

On June 3, things are looking Up with the Academy Award-winning animated feature about a retired balloon salesman. Then on June 10, Big Hero 6 tells the animated tale of Baymax, a lovable personal companion robot who forms a special bond with robotics prodigy Hiro Hamada.


all.........coming back........to me now..............?!

Moana was okay. The others are (relatively) 'B' product. I recently rewatched Thor:Ragnarok, a first class comedy that was made to be a comedy.

The commercial-to-film ratio will go haywire in the last thirty minutes. Good luck enjoying even an A-list movie in those conditions.

Yep, just get the DVD from Netflix and watch that instead.

I think Disney needs to reach back further than those movies - how about stuff they showed in the 60's?

Scarecrow of Romney Marsh, Tomasina etc?

And yes, it was on at 7-7:30 Sunday night because we watched it religiously.

Nostalgia?
They need to bring back Saturday afternoon Kung Fu movies. Circa,1980, channel 5 at 3pm I think? For full effect, they might as well show them in black and white. Because only the rich kids had color tv back then. And I was never invited over there

It's only good if they play Song of the South, and That Darn Cat, and Thomasina, and and and...

If they showed Song Of The South it would be 12 minutes long after all the editing.

Moana is under-appreciated and excellent.

Up is fantastic and has amazing depth. Watch it again if you haven't seen it lately, but do so online and not with commercials, as it was meant to be seen.
