As October arrives and September is behind us, the time has come for the monthly Netflix removals and arrivals. There is no specific shelf-life for each show, but it comes as a shock whenever the monthly lists are released. Some of the popular titles that are left in September and leaving in October are Disney classics such as “Anastasia,” “Lilo and Stitch,” “The Emperor’s New Groove,” and “The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh.” On top of that, classics like “The Color Purple,” the first and third “Jurassic Park” movies, all seasons of “Everybody Loves Raymond” and all three “Back to The Future” movies are gone, just to name a few.
Food Network fanatics will not be pleased to hear that the “Chopped Collection,” “Diners, Drive Ins and Dives,” and “Cutthroat Kitchen” will also be leaving the online streaming site this month.
After showing the list to other Fredonians, they had a lot to say about what was being removed.
Caitlin Sion, a junior, said her favorite movie is “The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh.”
“That movie is my go-to on rainy days or when I’m not feeling well. The fact that they’re taking it off Netflix is a crime,” she said.
She mentioned that there are a lot of TV shows and other Disney favorites she wouldn’t expect to get taken off, especially due to their popularity
Jensen Martin, a sophomore, said that they don’t see why it’s necessary at all, when asked about their feeling about netflix removals.
“I was especially bummed out when they took off Spongebob a while ago. I’m just like, why? This doesn’t need to happen,” said Martin. “Whenever something is taken off in general I get upset — not upset enough to complain to the company about it. It’s just a bit of a downer.”
It shows that a lot of people are upset in general by the Netflix removals. But according to whats-on-netflix.com, there are things to look forward to coming on Netflix within the next month. Hilary Duff’s “A Cinderella Story,” “The Titanic,” “Breakfast at Tiffany’s,” season five of “American Horror Story,” and Justin Timberlake’s new original movie are all titles to keep a lookout for throughout the month of October.
