Coming in at Number 3 on the Worldwide Chart and 5 on the US Chart, Star Wars: The Mandalorian was (unsurprisingly) the most popular Disney+ original series of the year.   Star Wars continues to be a really strong franchise for Disney with The Clone Wars, Rebels,  and Disney Gallery: The Mandalorian all appearing in the worldwide top 25. 

Shows like Mickey Mouse Clubhouse and Jessie also attest to the streaming network’s appeal to younger audiences and NOT just for movies.  And if other kids are anything mine, you’ll know that kids love streaming their favorite episodes over and over again. 

An area that did surprise us was the popularity of Disney’s docu-series line-up.  Programs like the Magic of Disney’s Animal Kingdom and the Imagineering Story had strong worldwide appeal with both appearing in the Top 25!
