  • Over 50 shows and movies are leaving Disney+ and Hulu.

  • Disney CFO Christine McCarthy said the company is being "strategic" with "content creation."

  • Here's a list of everything that we know is leaving both streaming services.

When Disney+ launched in 2019, it boasted a huge library of content, including a number of huge franchises like "Star Wars," the Marvel Cinematic Universe, the Pixar animated movies, and many more.

However, Deadline reported last week that Disney will start pulling over 50 shows, movies, and specials from Disney+ and Hulu on May 26.

Insider understands that this is not a complete list of what is leaving Disney+ and Hulu, and there will be additional titles coming off the platforms.

Disney's chief financial officer Christine McCarthy said, per Deadline: "We are in the process of reviewing the content on our DTC services to align with the strategic changes in our approach to content curation."

Unsurprisingly, the news hasn't gone down well with subscribers and creators alike.

"Stargirl" director Julia Hart took to Twitter to lament the fact that her 2020 musical romance movie is leaving the platform.

"Devastated that the movie I poured my heart & soul into is leaving Disney Plus," wrote Hart. "Watch while you can! Proud of the work my amazing colleagues & I did. I was 8 weeks post-partum when we started. The process was worth the sacrifice even if the result was not. Focus on process. Always."

The director pointed out that the removal will affect more than just subscribers.: "100s of people won't be able to use this movie now to seek employment. That breaks my heart most of all."

A writer on the "Willow" TV series, John Bickerstaff, said: "They gave us six months. Not even. This business has become absolutely cruel."

He added: "Before you say tax-write off: these shows have already been released and so can't be a write-off. And in the case of Willow, they own the property outright. The only conclusion is that this is to get out of paying residuals. During a strike."
