Camp Rock 3 is finally here, princesses take over mid-month, and there’s enough Little League to get you to the first day of school. Here’s what to queue up.
We’re pretty much to that part of summer where it feels like we’re completely out of runway. The days stretch on forever, everyone’s “bored”… even the pool seems to be losing its charm. In other words, you need reinforcements. Good thing Disney+ and Hulu have stacked the deck this August, from a sequel millennials may be more excited than their kids about to hours of feel-good little-kid content.
Here’s everything new headed to Disney+ and Hulu this month.
What’s New On Disney+ & Hulu in August? The Highlight Reel
I mean, c’mon, how could you not? Here, Connect 3 loses their opening act for a big reunion tour and must pivot by heading back to Camp Rock to let campers compete for the spot. If you were belting “This Is Me” into a hairbrush circa 2008, pass it to your kid: It’s their turn now.
This natural history series (that’s four years in the making!) follows a lion cub named Kio as he grows from wobbly cub to king. It’s got a gorgeous cinematic feel, but with the added bonus of real lions. And since it comes from The Lion King director Jon Favreau and BBC Studios, you know it’s going to be good. Wildlife-loving families, this is your pick.
Pokémon: Indigo League(Season 1) — August 7
Heck yeah, the OG is coming to Disney+! We’re getting all of Season 1, where it’s Ash Ketchum’s 10th birthday. He’s off to become a Pokémon Trainer but ends up with a very uncooperative Pikachu, so he picks up Brock and Misty along the way. Let’s call this for what it is: gateway nostalgia at its finest.
Little League World Series — August 6–30
You’re covered too, sports fams. The Little League Softball World Series plays out August 6–9 (with the championship on ABC the 9th), and the Little League Baseball World Series builds to its championship on August 30.
Also, It’s World Princess Week
The crown jewel (#SorryNotSorry) of the month hits mid-August with Disney Princess: The Ultimate Concert Celebration (August 16), the largest gathering of Disney Princess talent ever assembled. That’s followed by Lego Disney Princess: Magical Mayhem (August 21), which brings a cozy, rainy-day, animals-run-amok caper.
