NOW critics pick the best new movies and TV shows coming toDisney Plusin January 2021.
Avengers: Infinity War ended with Paul Bettanys android Vision being rather violently decommissioned by the genocidal space baddie Thanos so the trailer for this six-part limited series which appears to feature Vision and his beloved Wanda Maximoff (Elisabeth Olsen) reunited and starring in what appears to be a riff on American domestic sitcoms raises any number of questions. Is this the result of Wandas reality-bending abilities? Is it an adaptation of Tom Kings game-changing comics run where the Vision creates his own family of synthezoids, only to watch his suburban utopia slide into a living nightmare? Is it all just going to pull back into a snow globe in the hand of a troubled child? Actually, that one seems like a safe bet. January 15
Disney is all about the brand, and it never misses a chance to extend its various properties and Disney+ has a parade of Marvel spinoff series prepped to launch on the service this year. How to prepare people? Clip shows! Specifically, Marvel Studios: Legends, which serves as an exciting refresher for the various heroes and villains making their way to highly anticipated streaming shows premiering on Disney+, setting the stage for the upcoming adventures. The first two episodes will focus on Elisabeth Olsens Wanda Maximoff and Paul Bettanys Vision, whose limited series WandaVision premieres this month. January 8

The silliest talk show since Space Ghost: Coast To Coast, this oddball series from the Jim Henson Company is hosted in an underground bunker by an alien named Ned (Paul Rugg) and his faithful right hand Cornelius (Michael Oosterom), who came to Earth as invaders but decided they liked things the way they were. And now they hang out and chat with famous people, because thats how talk shows work and we get to watch a bunch of TV stars interact with some really charming puppets. In this second wave of 10 episodes dropping on New Years Day include Alyson Hannigan, Ben Feldman, Yvette Nicole Brown, Kevin Smith, DArcy Carden, Ben Schwartz, Mayim Bialik, Tig Notaro and Chef Roy Choi, because why not.

Speaking of bizarre versions of domestic sitcoms, another Jim Henson Company puppet project is coming to Disney+ this month: the service is adding all four seasons of the early-90s Dinosaurs, a sitcom about the Sinclairs, a happy nuclear family of five dinosaurs. It was Hensons answer to The Simpsons, with its puppet characters (voiced by Stuart Pankin, Jessica Walter, Jason Willinger, Sally Struthers and Kevin Clash) coping with issues like vegetarianism, civil rights and ecological consciousness, all with varying degrees of real-world relevance. Best remembered for its unexpectedly bleak final episode, which brought the series and the age of thunder lizards to a chilly end. January 29
