Forgotten 2000s Disney Fantasy Movie Is Finally Coming to Disney+

by

Disney+ is adding a fantasy movie from the 2000s that many viewers may have forgotten. While the streaming service is well-known for popular franchises like Marvel and Star Wars, it’s also become a great place to rediscover older Disney films. Disney+’s library is now quite large, featuring everything from Disney Channel movies to classic titles from the studio’s history, and it’s getting closer to including almost everything.

Disney has announced that the long-awaited movie *Life-Size* will be available on Disney+ starting November 7th. Fans have been requesting this 2000s TV movie for a while, and it’s finally being added to the streaming service!

The movie *Life-Size* premiered on ABC in March 2000 as part of the *Wonderful World of Disney* series. It tells the story of Casey, a young girl played by Lindsay Lohan (known for *Freaky Friday*), who unintentionally brings her doll, Eve, to life while attempting a spell to bring her late mother back.

Lindsay Lohan stars in the movie, with Tyra Banks playing the role of the main doll. The story follows Casey as she tries to stop Eve from causing trouble in the real world.

The Disney movie *Life-Size* has become a favorite among fans, and many see it as the original live-action Barbie movie – well before Greta Gerwig’s *Barbie* film came out in 2023.

Even though many people loved the TV movie, it wasn’t available on any streaming services for a long time. The only way to watch it was through a small number of DVDs released soon after it first aired on television.

A sequel to the original movie, *Life-Size 2: A Christmas Eve*, aired on Freeform in 2018, again starring Tyra Banks. This led fans to hope the first *Life-Size* film would become available on streaming platforms, but it didn’t happen. In 2020, Banks hinted at a third movie being planned, but there haven’t been any new developments on that project in the last five years.

Why Is Life-Size Coming to Streaming Now? 

Fans have been waiting a long time, but the movie *Life-Size* is now available on streaming! This is exciting news for those who have loved the film for years, as it hasn’t been easy to find for decades.

Disney is likely reviving the early 2000s movie to add content to its streaming service. This is the most straightforward explanation for bringing it back.

Disney+ now has a huge collection of movies and shows. Almost everything Disney has ever made is available on the platform, so adding *Life-Size* helps complete the catalog.

Lindsay Lohan’s return to acting is likely a major reason for this renewed interest. After a long break from the screen, the well-known actress is back, most recently appearing in this summer’s *Freakier Friday*, a sequel to *Freaky Friday*.

Now that Lindsay Lohan is back in the spotlight, why not stream one of her popular, older movies?

This could potentially revive the *Life-Size* movie series. We’re currently seeing a trend of early 2000s films making comebacks, with new installments planned for franchises like *Lilo & Stitch*, *Freaky Friday*, and *The Princess Diaries*.

Disney might be seeing how audiences react to streaming the original *Life-Size* movie, potentially as a way to gauge interest in a third film – something Tyra Banks mentioned years ago.
