Disney launched new content for families to watch during Black History Month. YPulse’s Representation in Action trend research found that more than half of Millennial parents have had their child watch a TV show / movie because it featured an underrepresented group they wanted them to learn more about. As kid shows continue prioritizing diverse and inclusive causes, Disney is honoring Black History Month by launching new content across its Disney+, Hulu, and ESPN+ platforms. The Celebrate Black Stories collection on Disney+ will include The Proud Family: Louder and Prouder, Onyx Collective and Searchlight Pictures’ Academy Award-nominated documentary Summer of Soul, and ABC’s recent reimagining of The Wonder Years. Along with premiering on Disney+ this month, Rise Up, Sing Out, a series of kid-focused animated shorts, will also air on Disney Junior and Disney Channel. Hulu’s Black Stories hub will feature new episodes of history show Your Attention Please, the first season of Basketball (and Other Things), and coming-of-age film, Gully. Meanwhile, ESPN+ is relaunching its Black History Always collection with docuseries Why Not Us, the 30 for 30 film series, several specials, and the long-form E60 franchise. (Kidscreen)
