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

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

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

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

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.
