Winter has finally arrived in much of Brazil, bringing cold, wind and rain. In this beautiful weather, nothing better than staying at home under the duvet all day, right? With that in mind, CinePOP has separated out five Disney+ and Star+ releases for you to experience this weekend from the comfort of your own home.
The predator: hunting
A prequel to the Predator franchise, this feature takes the evil ETzão to the United States of the 18th century, when indigenous peoples and settlers fought for territory. In the midst of this, the Predator makes its first trip to Earth to learn the planet’s hunting style. But he didn’t expect to find a Comanche village with two brothers who were experts in hunting and fighting. Thus begins a very well-developed action-packed thriller. And there is also the possibility of watching the film dubbed in the Comanche language.

Have fun watching:
I’m tall
Taking cuteness to a new level, this series of shorts shows the adventures of Baby Groot (Vin Diesel) between the post-credits scene of Guardians of the Galaxy (2014) and the events of Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 (2017). There are five shorts of about five minutes each, which show everyone’s favorite tree taking its first steps, taking its first bath and doing other typical baby things, but with all the confusion possible because of antics of “Grootinho”.
Where to watch: Disney+
The Cult of Chucky
After a very successful return to the Chucky series, the killer doll appeared with some abilities that older fans might not have known about. Released in 2017, The Cult of Chucky is far from unanimous among fans, while many have not even watched it, since it was released directly on Home Video. In Brazil, this is one of the first times (if not the first) that the feature has appeared on a streaming platform, so it’s worth watching the bloodiest and most explicit film of the capped puppet even for better understand the events of the series, whose second season is already in production.

light year
Jumping from one live-action puppet movie to another, the next clue is Lightyear. Based on the Toy Story quadrilogy, this movie is the animated feature film that inspired the creation of the Buzz Lightyear doll that would eventually end up in the hands of Andy and his friends. friends. The plot revolves around Buzz Lightyear, a Space Ranger who participates in the test launch of a spacecraft, which leaves him on a hostile and distant planet. As he tries to get home, he discovers that time has gone too far and now all of his friends are either old or dead. Along with the next generation of Rangers, Buzz will attempt to stop the threat of the evil Emperor, Zurg.

Four Lives of a Dog
“The Dog Movie” practically became a subgenre in Hollywood after Marley & Me brought half the world to tears for the past decade. The formula is very simple and usually ends with the death of the dog, which proves everyone right. However, in this film – as its title suggests – we follow the trajectory of a puppy who dies and is reincarnated, living a new life with new families each time he returns to Earth. Yes, the dog dies three times. It’s interesting how the same character adapts to different people, always completing their lives completely different from previous passages. It’s a fun weekend drama that will especially resonate with anyone who has or has a pup at home.
