![]() Read This Photo: Jesse Grant/Getty Images for Disney Sources tell Polygon that encumbrances with various legacy deals are likely the reason for the departures, and that titles may rejoin the service permanently after those licenses expire. But the company has never actually promised that the various offerings on Disney Plus would remain there indefinitely. Where companies like HBO and Netflix put out monthly bulletins of everything coming to and leaving their streaming services each month, so viewers can plan their last-minute binges, Disney has only emphasized new arrivals, not departures. Many fans are surprised by films dropping off the service, particularly since Disney hasn’t issued press releases about the changes. All these titles disappeared without warning, and so far, Disney has not commented on the titles. Dolittle, Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides, Home Alone and Home Alone 2, and The Sandlot are no longer streamable on Disney Plus. In fact, as 2020 began, some Disney Plus users noticed that a few films had gone missing from the streaming library. Some films clearly aren’t going to live on Disney Plus forever. That doesn’t apply to every movie on the service, however. But with its new streaming service, Disney promised that all its classics would be permanently available to subscribers. It was a smart way to drive interest in Disney’s release schedule for DVDs and Blu-rays: Whenever a beloved film emerged from the Vault, consumers, collectors, and resellers would rush to buy it, assuming their opportunities to own it would be limited. For years, the Vault was where Disney put films between waves of releases, so some classic titles would be unavailable for long periods. And music lovers will appreciate the flamenco-guitar duo Rodrigo y Gabriela's contributions to the soundtrack.With the release of Disney Plus, Disney has effectively done away with its fabled Vault. McShane, on the other hand, has built an impressive career one villainous character at a time, so he's naturally fierce and frightening as Blackbeard. But as sweet as they are, their forbidden-love subplot isn't nearly as moving as Elizabeth and Will's. With the notable absence of Keira Knightley and Orlando Bloom, whose star-crossed lovers Elizabeth and Will had closure to their story in the last installment, the good-looking-young-couple role is left to Claflin and Berges-Frisbey. Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides' race for the Fountain of Youth is a simple, easy-to-follow premise there are fewer extraneous characters to keep track of (remember all of those pirates in At World's End?) and Cruz and Depp have an entertaining, charming chemistry with each other that sizzles when they're trading barbs and half-dueling, half-flirting. ![]() Director Rob Marshall has stripped away some of the overlong, puzzling plotlines and overdependence on CGI effects that marked Gore Verbinski's first three Pirates films, especially the second and third ones. And although this movie isn't an age-appropriate pick for young kids who might be frightened by some of the pirates and fighting, this shorter-and-simpler edition is fine for older tweens and up.ĭepp's rummy rogue is clever and lovable as ever, and that's a big reason audiences are always willing to yo, ho, ho. ![]() ![]() Though there are some deaths, none are bloody/graphic. But rum and wine do still flow in a couple of scenes, and there are loads of innuendo-laden comments (most thanks to Johnny Depp's iconic Captain Jack Sparrow) - as well as all of the swordfighting, explosions, and felled pirates and soldiers that audiences are used to in this franchise. Parents need to know that Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides - the fourth installment in the Pirates of the Caribbean series - is actually slightly less violent and creepy than the previous movies. Fewer drunk-pirate scenes than in the previous movies, but there's still a good bit of drinking (rum, wine) and alcohol-related humor.ĭid you know you can flag iffy content?
