Is ‘Indiana Jones’ on Disney+?
Disney may have Indiana Jones-themed amusement park attractions. However, some Disney+ subscribers are wondering if the streaming platform has films like Raiders of the Lost Ark and Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull.
Hereās how to watch films in the Indiana Jones franchise.
āRaiders of the Lost Arkā was previously available on Netflix
This explorer hated snakes, but Indiana Jones fans love to watch his many adventures. The first movie in this franchise, Raiders of the Lost Ark, premiered in 1981.
According to Inside the Magic, as of June 2020, several movies in the Indiana Jones franchise were available on Disneyās rival streaming platform, Netflix.Ā
They have since been removed, along with Disney-owned films like Marvelās Avengers: Infinity War and Solo: A Star Wars Story. Several Disney movies and television are still available on Netflix, though.
That includes Disney Juniorās Sofia the First, Disney Channelās Liv and Maddie, and the animated film, The Princess and the Frog.Ā
Thereās no word regarding when, or if, the Indiana Jones movies will premiere on Disney+. Although some Disney films pop up when theyāre searched on the streaming platformās library, the Indiana Jones movies are still not listed.Ā
āIndiana Jonesā movies are not available on Disneyās streaming platform
No, movies like Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull are not available on Disney+. Not to worry, though, Harrison Ford fans. There are still a few ways to watch this whip-yielding archeologist in action.Ā
Raiders of the Lost Ark and its sequels are available for rent and purchase digitally thanks to Amazon. There are also physical copies of the original Indiana Jones movie and its spinoff at retailers like Barnes and Noble, Target, and Walmart. Fans can also watch Indiana Jones movies live on the television network, Paramount Network.
Disney, technically, owns the āIndiana Jonesā franchise
When the Walt Disney Company acquired Lucasfilm, that included the Star Wars franchise, as well as the āIndiana Jones intellectual property,ā including distribution rights. They arenāt the only company connected to Indiana Jones, though.
According to Screenrant, Paramount receives āfinancial participationā whenever a new Indiana Jones film is released. Itās for this reason that some fans believe the movies may never come to Disney+, similar to Marvel flicks like Spider-Man: Far From Home.
There are also hints of Indiana Jones throughout Disneyās theme parks. Hollywood Studios in Walt Disney World holds the Indiana Jones Epic Stunt Spectacular! Disneyland holds the ride Indiana Jones Adventure.
There are also plenty of films starring Ford on Disneyās streaming platform. That includes the original Star Wars trilogy and the 2015 film, Star Wars: The Force Awakens. To learn more about Disney+ and to subscribe, visit their website.
