With movie theaters closed, streaming services have become all the more important for anybody trying to keep vaguely sane during a period of isolation. We're all looking for something new to watch to pass the time considering there isn't much else to do. Luckily Disney+ has continued to provide a steady stream of classic and brand new content to keep us entertained, and June will be no exception. June will see a huge chapter in MCU leave Netflix and arrive on Disney+. In addition, one of the biggest releases the service has ever seen will be hitting next month when a movie originally slated for a theatrical run debuts on Disney+.
Artemis Fowl was first given a release date in 2019 before being bumped to Memorial Day Weekend of 2020. However, that date change would prove to be a curse, as it found the movie, about a juvenile evil mastermind, right in the middle of a period of theater closures. While Disney simply pushed back movies like Mulan and Black Widow to later theatrical releases, the decision was made to move Artemis Fowl straight to Disney+. It will hit on June 12.
If your particular taste in Disney runs more to the classic, June 12 will also see the debut of a pair of episodes of the original Disneyland anthology series hosted by Walt Disney himself, The Liberty Story and The Story of the Animated Drawing. We'll also see the the Disney cooking competition show, Be Our Chef, wrap up in early June, while other Disney+ series like the Disney Gallery look at The Mandalorian continue.

The second half of June will also see a nice collection of both new and old content to keep fans entertained. On the classic side we have the first season of Schoolhouse Rock, which is going to be an instant time machine for anybody who grew up watching the educational shorts on Saturday mornings. Now future generations will be able to enjoy learning about what a bill is, and what it does on Capitol Hill.
The last week of June will see another pair of classic Disneyland episodes, Man in Space and Mars and Beyond, which were originally announced to hit the service in April, but did not for undisclosed reasons. We'll also get the well timed Percy Jackson and the Olympians: The Lightning Thief, which comes on the heels of the announcement that an all new Percy Jackson series is on the way to Disney+.
Of course, the big new addition to the Disney+ library will come on June 26 when a major chapter of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Avengers: Infinity War makes the jump from Netflix to Disney+. Since Avengers: Endgame is already on the service, you'll be able to watch both movies back to back in one place for the first time ever. What else were you going to do with those six hours anyway?
Finally, Frozen fans will be gifted with Into the Unknown: Making Frozen 2 a documentary series about the making of the new film which was announced back when Disney first unveiled the new streaming service in early 2019. Best of all, the entire series will drop at once, so no waiting for future installments.

There's a decent amount of fun to have here in June. And July promises a lot of fun as well. The only Star Wars movie not currently on Disney+ will be making the jump early in the month. We're also getting brand new original content starring The Muppets and even a Disney+ original movie in Secret Society of Second-Born Royals.
