The first DCOM was missing from Disney+, and now Under Wraps is streaming
Disney+ has added 1997's Under Wraps, the first Disney Channel Original Movie, after it had been absent from the service.
Disney+ has added a title that stood out for not being there. Under Wraps, the 1997 movie recognized as the first Disney Channel Original Movie, is now available on the streaming service after previously being unavailable there.
The change takes effect now. Disney+ subscribers can stream Under Wraps this month, ending its absence from a platform that already carries most Disney Channel Original Movies.
That matters to fans of Disney Channel's long-running DCOM lineup, because Under Wraps holds a specific place in that history. Released in 1997, it is identified as the very first entry in the Disney Channel Original Movie line.
Why this one stands out
Under Wraps is a horror-comedy about a group of kids who end up dealing with an accidentally resurrected Egyptian mummy. The movie has a deliberately silly side, but it is also a title many viewers remember fondly and have wanted to revisit.
The movie's return to the spotlight also comes with some extra context for newer Disney fans. Disney remade Under Wraps in 2021, and that newer version led to a sequel in 2022. The original film, by contrast, never received a sequel of its own.
For Disney+ users who have been looking for older Disney Channel favorites, the immediate change is simple: the original Under Wraps is no longer one of the service's missing DCOMs.
