March certainly was a wild ride in terms of movies and new releases. With the end of WandaVision and the start of Falcon and the Winter Soldier, it was truly an unpredictable adventure. Yet now it is time to look forward to the new releases of April. 

First, there was a new movie released on Disney+ for kids titled Treasure Buddies. It is not a “new” movie though, it was made in 2012, so it is just new to the streaming platform.  It is about puppies in Egypt who are chasing an evil cat. 

The season finale of the new Disney+ series Secrets of Sulphur Springs will also be released this upcoming month. The show is about a 12-year-old named Griffin Campbell who moves to Louisiana and takes ownership of an abandoned hotel known as the Tremont. Griffin and his family try to restore it into a vacation hotel, but it is haunted by a girl who went missing decades ago. 

On April 16th, a show called Big Shot featuring John Stamos will also be released on Disney+. Stamos plays a basketball coach at an all-girl high school who just left the NCAA. The movie follows him as he connects with the team, creating a stronger bond between them.
