Another exciting week begins on Disney+ with the premiere of Lamp Life, an exclusive animated short from the world of Toy Story about Bo Peep’s life between leaving Molly’s room and reuniting with Woody. Speaking of Toy Story 4, it’s among a list of new library titles joining Disney+ this week, including the Bette Midler/Lily Tomlin twin switching comedy Big Business. Our Library section highlights three films celebrating milestone anniversaries this week. Whatever you choose to watch, we hope it’s another magical week for you and your Disney+ account.
New Exclusives
Lamp Life
“Bo Peep makes a big comeback in Disney and Pixar’s Toy Story 4 and she leads the way in Pixar’s all-new animated short film, Lamp Life. Lamp Life answers the question of what happened to Bo since we last saw her in Toy Story 2. Join Woody and Giggle McDimples as Bo recounts her wild adventures. The film airs exclusively on Disney+.”
Diary of a Future President – “Disaster Relief”
“In an attempt to find her “reason for being,” Elena tries to become Orange Bay Middle’s Hurricane Watch Captain. Bobby prepares to go to “Miami Second Base” with new crush Monyca-with-a-Y. Gabi is excited to have her first real date with Sam, but family obligations keep getting in the way.”
Marvel Hero Project – “Soarin Seamus”
“Seamus wants to give back to those who serve–the men and women who are willing to risk everything to ensure his freedom. He created a fundraising organization that taps into his love of rock-climbing to raise money for the families of fallen and wounded soldiers, so they can keep climbing towards their own dreams. Seamus is already a hero, but now, he’s about to become a Marvel Super Hero.”
One Day at Disney Shorts – “Rob Richards”
“Rob Richards takes us on a historical journey of the mighty Wurlitzer Organ at the El Capitan Theatre. It has been his lifelong ambition to play the Wurlitzer for Disney, and after years of honing his craft in pizza parlors around the US, Richards fulfilled his mission to bring the Disney canon to audiences in a whole new way.”
Disney Family Sundays – “Tangled: Paper Lanterns”
“The Wulf family lights up when they help host Amber Kemp-Gerstel work on a craft inspired by Disney’s Tangled.”

Big Business
“Bette Midler and Lily Tomlin star in this comedy about two sets of identical twins who are mismatched at birth. Forty years later, their paths cross amid the hustle and bustle of Manhattan, and the result is unrestrained pandemonium. New York’s opulent Plaza Hotel is the setting for a wildly hilarious, classic case of mistaken identities, split personalities and double trouble.”
Around the World in 80 Days
“After being forced into a bet by the Royal Academy’s Minister of Science, Phileas Fogg, Lau Xing and Monique La Roche dare to do what no one has done before – beat the clock in a race around the world. Traveling the globe by land, sea, air, and even in-line skates, Fogg must complete his trip around the world in 80 days, or he will never be allowed to invent again.”
