The network follows CBS in scheduling a block of theatrical films to help fill out its primetime schedule. ABC has brought back its Wonderful World of Disney banner for a series of theatrical movies that will air on the network.
The four films will run on Wednesday nights for four weeks. The first installment, with Disney Animation's Moana, took place last night (May 20).
Auli’i Cravalho, Dwayne Johnson, Lin-Manuel Miranda and director Jared Bush all live-tweeted the broadcast using #TheWonderfulWorldOfDisney.
ABC is following in the footsteps of CBS, which started its own Sunday movie night on May 3 with Raiders of the Lost Ark. (All of the films in CBS' five-week series are from its ViacomCBS sibling Paramount Pictures.) #TheWonderful
