Is there a Pixar version of Harry Potter on Disney Plus?
Warner Bros./@tony.aube: TikTokThanks to a viral TikTok, many Harry Potter fans are convinced that a Pixar version of the franchise lives on Disney Plus, but is it really happening?
Regarded as one of the most successful movie franchises in history, Harry Potter, an adaptation of the popular book series by J.K. Rowling, had fans living their best magical lives for eight action-packed movies.
Since its debut in 2001, the franchise has become a global phenomenon with several theme park attractions, museum installations, devoted merchandise stores, and so much more. It’s also gotten a Broadway production, spinoffs, and an upcoming TV series.
And now fans are convinced that Harry Potter and his friends can be seen in animation on Disney+ thanks to a TikTok video showing the Wizarding World in Pixar form. But, how trustworthy is the source and is it real?
Is there a Pixar Harry Potter on Disney Plus?
No, there’s no Pixar version of Harry Potter on Disney+. A viral TikTok claimed to have found a Pixar version of the Philosopher’s Stone, but it’s fake.
TikToker @tony.aube posted a video showing a TV screen on the Disney+ app, before selecting the Pixar category. Among the list of options like Dug’s Day and A Bug’s Life is what appears to be a Pixar version of Harry Potter. The title is Rowling’s first book and movie installment: Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone.
The TikTok then proceeds to show the loading icon and a seemingly real Pixar version of the popular movie. By all account, the video looked incredibly convincing until die-hard Potter fans looked for the movie themselves.
One fan commented: “How quickly I went to my Disney+ and was so disappointed this isn’t real.”
Another said: “May you never know peace, may happiness taunt you by staying ever so slightly out of your grasp, may joy disappear from your daily life.”
Others wondered how they were able to create a convincing fake video and make it appear as part of the Disney Plus site. Some spent a good 10 minutes looking for the Pixar version, comparing it to taunting a baby with candy.
