New to Disney Plus in May 2022: Obi-Wan, Chip and Dale

Disney Plus launched in 2019 with most of Disney’s back catalog, but the platform still hasn’t reached maximum capacity just yet. In addition to original content, like the upcoming Obi-Wan Kenobi series, there is a host of older movies and shows that trickle onto Disney Plus each month.

This month, Moon Knight finishes up, and Obi-Wan Kenobi premieres just a few weeks after. In between, though, Disney Plus Original movies Sneakerella — a modern gender-swapped Cinderella redux — and Chip ’n Dale: Rescue Rangers premiere.
