Yes, the beloved Home Alone movie franchise has returned to Disney Plus, much to the delight of fans preparing for the festive season.
The Journey of Home Alone on Streaming
The popular Home Alone film series, a holiday staple, has had a bit of a journey across streaming platforms before settling back on Disney Plus:
- Initial Launch on Disney Plus: Upon its launch in November, the Home Alone trilogy was readily available to stream on Disney Plus, delighting subscribers with classic holiday entertainment.
- Temporary Departure to HBO: Earlier this year, the three films were temporarily moved to HBO. This was due to a pre-existing licensing agreement that required the movies to be available on another platform for a period. This meant fans had to look elsewhere to stream the adventures of Kevin McCallister.
- Welcome Back to Disney Plus: Fortunately for Disney+ subscribers, that contract has now expired. As a result, the entire Home Alone trilogy has been re-added to the Disney Plus library, becoming available again starting November 13th. This ensures the films are accessible for holiday viewing on the platform.
This return signifies that fans can once again enjoy the comedic and heartwarming tales of the McCallister family's misadventures directly on Disney's streaming platform.
