What's New to Stream on Disney+ in April 2020: Onward, The Simpsons Shorts

Disney+'s sprawling library is continuing to grow this month. The streaming service's biggest addition in April has been the early release of Pixar's Onward on April 3. The animated family flick only hit theaters on March 6 but moved to streaming early due to the COVID-19 pandemic. This month has also been something of a royal affair as Meghan Markle lends her voice to Disney+'s new streaming documentary Elephant, which also premiered on April 3.

The streaming service is also adding a pair of Simpsons animated short films, Maggie Simpson in "Playdate with Destiny" on Friday, April 10 and Maggie Simpson in The Longest Daycare later this month at a date to be announced. Playdate with Destiny accompanied Onward in theaters, while The Longest Daycare was attached to Ice Age: Continental Drift in 2012 and was nominated for an Academy Award. The shorts join The Simpsons Movie and 30 seasons of the show on the service.

Disney+ is also adding weekly episodes of its original shows like Star Wars: The Clone Wars and One Day at Disney, as well as a fun special concert film featuring music from Coco.

But as is becoming the rule with Disney+, most of the good stuff is in the Disney library titles coming to the service. April sees the arrivals of Eddie Murphy's 1998 hit Dr. Dolittle; David Lynch's most un-David Lynch movie, the G-rated The Straight Story; multiple seasons of America's Funniest Home Videos; and the Nicolas Cage meme classic National Treasure.
