Yesterday we learned about several Academy Award nominations for Disney, including Encanto for Best Animated Feature Film and Cruella for Best Makeup and Hairstyling. One of Disney’s newest movies was nominated for 7 Academy Awards, and now we know when this film will be available for streaming on Disney+!

Steven Spielberg directed the remake of West Side Story, which premiered in theaters in December 2021.

This new take on the classic story is going to be available for streaming on Disney+ starting on March 2nd, 2022! Disney has not mentioned Premium Access in their announcements, so it sounds like this movie will be available for free if you have Disney+.
