When is Muppets Haunted Mansion on Disney+?
Halloween is just around the corner and Disney is getting in on the fun. Disney Plus announced a new Halloween original film entitled Muppets Haunted Mansion. Set to release in 2021, the film is no doubt going to be Disney’s attempt at combining two of its most beloved properties.
Disney is known for having some of the best family-friendly Halloween movies. Whether it’s a Disney Channel Original Movie or a theatrical release, Disney has a massive library of spooky Halloween gems. If so, it makes sense for Disney to decide to feature the Muppets in an original Halloween production.
While the Muppets aren’t Disney’s most popular property, the fun and fuzzy bunch is still a huge hit with fans today. In particular, Disney even produced a reboot of the original Muppet Babies along with Muppets Now. It’s clear Disney knows the market when it comes to the groups of people who enjoy the Muppets.
However, if you’re looking for a new Halloween flick, then you’ll want to know all of the details about when Muppets Haunted Mansion premieres on Disney Plus and everything we know about the plot so far so let’s get into it.
When does Muppets Haunted Mansion begin streaming on Disney Plus?
Disney released the trailer for Muppets Haunted Mansion on September 23rd and Disney Plus confirmed the film will release Oct. 8, 2021. It’s a great time to release it as it’s towards the beginning of the month so you’ll have plenty of time to watch before Halloween finally gets here.
Disney has also released a small synopsis for the film. If you want to know a bit about the plot of the film, Deadline featured a description:
"“In Muppets Haunted Mansion, the Great Gonzo – world-famous daredevil artiste, has done it all, seen it all and survived it all. But on Halloween night, the fearless Gonzo takes on the greatest challenge of his life by spending one very daring night in the most grim grinning place on Earth: the Haunted Mansion.”"
Of course, you can always check out the trailer below to find out any other details you might want to know, too.
Overall, the film seems like it’s going to be a lot of fun and it will hopefully keep up with Disney’s trend of creating fun Halloween films. Muppets Haunted Mansion seems especially cool though as it includes two of Disney’s most exciting properties. The Haunted Mansion is such a quintessential part of any Disney Park trip and adding the Muppets is an entirely new layer.
Disney Plus is a treasure trove of awesome Halloween movies and the addition of Muppets Haunted Mansion on October 8th only reinforces that. No doubt it’s going to be better than the 2003 film so that’s something. Either way, Muppets Haunted Mansion seems like the perfect film to kick off the spooky season this year.
Muppets Haunted Mansion premieres October 8th, 2021 on Disney Plus.
