Look out Netflix! Disney+ has a lot more content coming before the holidays, and now we have a first look at one of the original movies hitting the platform this month.
Togo, which stars Willem Dafoe
(Spider-Man, Aquaman), is about a sled-dog by the same name who is full of courage and determination - which will be needed in his quest across the Alaskan tundra. This film looks to be a mix of heart and adventure, with a race against time adding a thriller element to the mix.

Togo below, and let us know your thoughts in the comments!
When a deadly epidemic strikes the town of Nome, Alaska, and the only cure is more than 600 miles away, the town looks to champion dogsled trainer Leonhard Seppala (Willem Dafoe) to help transport an antitoxin serum. Seppala turns to Togo, an unassuming, undersized and aging Siberian husky, to be his lead. His wife (Julianne Nicholson) has championed Togo since his days as a mischievous puppy who could dig himself out of any situation—literally and figuratively—and Seppala, having observed Togo’s loyalty and tenacious spirit, knows Togo offers his only chance of surviving this mission.
Undaunted by the massive storm heading their way or his wife’s urging him not to go, Seppala and Togo set out on the deadliest leg of what becomes a larger relay involving multiple mushers and gale-force winds and a wind chill factor dipping to 70 degrees below zero with little to no visibility. It is a harrowing journey on which Togo saves Seppala from certain death, causing the veteran musher to grasp the depth and intensity of his feelings for his lead dog, even as he risks running him to his death.
TOGO hits Disney+ on December 20!
