Disney+ has removed a big chunk of classic films from their streaming service. It was reported earlier today that Disney+ has removed about 12 films from their offerings. Titles such as “Home Alone,” “Dr. Dolittle,” “The Sandlot” and “Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides” were all missing.

According to some reports, Disney+ is having conflicts with other streaming services that have licenses the previously mentioned films. One can only hope that those films will return once the current licensing deals expire.

While Disney+ has removed some titles, it has also added a few great classics, according to the New York Post.

Disney also added a host of new content to the service this month, including the animated TV series “The Proud Family,” the 2003 film “Holes” and “Cool Runnings,” the 1993 movie based on the Jamaican national bobsled team’s Winter Olympics run.

Once Disney gets these licensing deal under control, it has been said they will not be revolving content anymore.

The Amazon-owned audio books distributor, Audible, has named its new CEO. Founder and current CEO, Don Katz, is stepping down and transitioning into the role of Executive Chairman.

“Bob Carrigan is among the most accomplished, creative, intellectually adept, and inspirational CEOs I have watched succeed over my 20 years of studying and chronicling businesses and my 24 years leading Audible,” Katz said in a statement. He added, “Bob and I have traded insights on how to translate complex ideas into clear strategic and tactical action as trusted confidantes for years. From the time Bob and I first met, when he was a senior executive at AOL two decades ago, I have watched him positively disrupt institutional status quos to measurable and lasting effect. I could not be more thrilled that the stars have aligned to allow him to join the Audible adventure full-time.”
