Quick Answer: Currently, Mrs. Doubtfire is available to stream with a Disney+ subscription.
Despite Robin Williams‘ historic body of work (Flubber, Dead Poets Society, Good Will Hunting… the list goes on) Mrs. Doubtfire is not only the most well-known, but arguably the most beloved.
Centered around the unfortunate circumstances of the divorce, Daniel Hillard, played by Williams, fights to spend time with his kids after losing a custody battle to his ex-wife, Miranda Hillard, played by Sally Field. When his visitation rights are stripped away, he plans to cosplay as a British caretaker, Mrs. Doubtfire, to infiltrate his ex-wife’s home and spend more time with his kids.
Like all Williams movies, humor is a central tactic when discussing serious issues. Rather than face reality and get a traditional job to support himself and regain his parental rights, the main character goes to great lengths to do anything but the obvious. It’s a classic film worth watching again and again.
While there are several ways to watch Mrs. Doubtfire online, the easiest is to stream on Disney+. This means having an active subscription.
If you haven’t signed up for Disney+ yet, here’s one of the best streaming deals available that gets you Disney+, Hulu, and ESPN+ for just $14.99. This bundle is one of the best plans if you want access to more classics at a significant discount, and it makes it easy to watch top movies and series in one place. You can also get just Disney+ starting at $7.99, which still includes excellent series, including other MCU entries like Avengers: Endgame, Star Wars series like The Bad Batch, and Premier Access movies like Cruella that debut on the streamer and in movie theaters across the country.
Apart from streaming Mrs. Doubtfire via Disney+, you can also rent the movie for $3.79, purchase it for $4.99 via Amazon Prime, or watch other Williams films like Man of The Year with an Amazon Prime subscription.
Plans start at $14.99/month, and grabbing a subscription also gives you access to other Amazon deals and perks, including Prime Day, two-day delivery, and access to Prime Gaming. Amazon Prime also offers a 30-day trial that won’t auto-enroll once the trial is over, and you can stream other Prime original TV shows like The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power, and an array of others in various languages.
In all, Mrs. Doubtfire is an unruly and purely comical film, one that is undoubtedly worth another watch as it celebrates its 30th anniversary.
