Errors Since Launch (November 12, 2019)

1. Marvel Studios should not be a prefix on the MCU titles. It is not present on other streaming services that have streamed them.

Here is a list of titles with the prefix remaining:

Thor Ragnarok
The Avengers
The Avengers: Age of Ultron
The Avengers: Infinity War
The Avengers: Endgame

2. The (Series) suffix is not part of a television show’s name. This is called disambiguation, but this should not exist visually to end users as it is not part of these series’ legal name.

Here is a list of titles with the prefix remaining:

101 Dalmatians
Guardians of the Galaxy
Iron Man
The Little Mermaid
The Muppets

3. Disneynature should not be a prefix on 12 of the Disneynature titles. Other services have listed these films properly without the prefix. You also do not add it to the new releases as they arrive, so it needs to go from the old ones.

Here is a list of titles with the prefix remaining:

African Cats
Bears
Born in China
Chimpanzee
The Crimson Wing: Mystery of the Flamingos (This title is also erroneously listed as “Crimson Wing” despite the logo saying otherwise.
Expedition China
Ghost of the Mountains
Growing Up Wild
Monkey Kingdom
Oceans
Penguins
Wings of Life

Monkey Kingdom on Disney+ with the prefix

4. Chip ‘n Dale: Rescue Rangers is improperly titled Chip ‘n Dale’s Rescue Rangers. The movie is at least done correctly. The characters do not own the RR team.

5. Big Hero 6: The Series and Big Hero 6: The Series (Shorts) are missing the colon.

6. The Brave Little Toaster To The Rescue is missing the “The.”

7. Mighty Ducks: The Animated Series is just listed as “Mighty Ducks.” (A RARE situation where the suffix is part of the name!

9. Crimson Wing: Mystery of the Flamingos is only listed as “Crimson Wing”

10. Star Wars: Forces of Destiny is missing the : after Star Wars

11. Descendants: Wicked World is missing the : after descendants.

12. Hannah Montana: The Movie (2009) is missing “ : “

13. Luxo Jr. was released in 1986 not 1999

14. Jungle Cat was released in 1960 not 1959

15. Jessie should be listed as 2011-2015 not 2014 as the final season began in 2015

16. Knick Knack (2003) has “theatrical short” incorrectly added at the end

23. LEGO Star Wars: Holiday Special is missing the : between LEGO Star Wars and the rest of the title. All other LEGO titles use colons so it’s only right to be consistent. This even is true on Netflix and other services with other LEGO titles.

Errors Since April 2, 2021

24. Story of the Faithful Wookiee is listed as 2021. It cannot be. It is vintage. You even mention 1978 in the long description!

A Faithful Wookiee has the wrong release date. — *A Faithful Wookiee* has the wrong release date.

25. “Star Wars Vintage” prefix is not appropriate to add to SWV collection title names. Collections names are not part of titles.

Error Since October 1, 2021

26. LEGO Star Wars: Terrifying Tales is missing the : between LEGO Star Wars and the rest of the title. All other LEGO titles use colons so it’s only right to be consistent. This even is true on Netflix and other services with other LEGO titles.

Error Since November 12, 2021

27. Intertwined is victimized by their DISNEY prefix bug. As a result this series is inaccurately referred to across the internet as “Disney Intertwined” which sounds completely stupid. We report this regularly, please join us.
