Disney+ adds iconic 'wickedly funny' noughties cult classic that fans still can't get enough of
Disney+ subscribers should be running not walking to their TVs this Bank Holiday weekend as a fan-favourite teen comedy has dropped.
Disney+ has just added a cult classic to its extensive library, which has already made its way into its top 10 most streamed films.
Mean Girls is a modern-day teen classic, and now millennials can relive the magic over and over again as the Lindsay Lohan film was released on Disney+ this week.
Created by 30 Rock and Saturday Night Live legend Tina Fey, Mean Girls originally hit the big screen back in 2004, with The Parent Trap's childhood star Lindsay Lohan as Cady Heron.
After leaving her childhood behind in Africa, Cady joins a 'normal' school in Illinois where her two new friends give her the inside scoop on everyone's social status.
Her path then crosses with the infamous Plastics: 'Fetch' creator Gretchen Wieners (Lacey Chabert), aspiring 'weather girl' Karen Smith (Amanda Seyfried) and their leader, the terrifying Regina George (Rachel McAdams).
Cady initially doesn't see what the issue is with the Plastics until she becomes smitten with Regina's ex-boyfriend, Aaron Samuels (Jonathan Bennett).
Besides its star-studded cast, which also features Fey herself as Ms Norbury, Parks and Recreation actress Amy Poehler and Scrubs' Neil Flynn, Mean Girls is a classic thanks to its stream of memorable one-liners.
Some of the classics that continue to be used in Reels today include 'On Wednesdays we wear pink', 'That is so fetch', 'Is Butter a carb?' and 'I'm sick', followed by Karen's pathetic cough and Regina's response: 'Boo you w***e'.
Mean Girls may not have the best Rotten Tomatoes rating with 84% but fans cannot help but express their love for the film, with it being labelled as 'wickedly funny'.
Another remarked: 'Undoubtedly the best teen comedy ever adapted from a sociological study…'
A third agreed: 'Mean Girls is a hysterical comedy about high school cliques, and may be the best teen satire since Heathers', while another describes it as 'comic gold'.
More than 20 years have passed since Mean Girls was first released but has been given a new lease of life with the 2024 remake starring Angourie Rice and Renee Rapp as Cady and Regina, respectively.
This version differs though, as it's actually a musical and has since been made into a West End and Broadway musical.

Danny Dyer 'having a mare' as he returns to filming days after Dani's wedding
Danny Dyer has been spotted riding horseback as he returns to the hit Disney + show as self-made successful electronics businessman Freddie Jones There's a treat in store for Rivals fans, as Danny Dyer has been spotted filming season 2 of the hit Disney + show, based on Jilly Cooper's 1988 novel. The raunchy drama, starring David Tennant and Aidan Turner, was a huge hit amongst fans when it dropped last year. Despite David's character Lord Tony Baddingham seemingly killed in the season 1 finale, the Doctor Who star has been spotted filming scenes with his co-stars, confirming that he'll be back on screens. Set in the fictional county of Rutshire, in the 1980's, the show revolves around the intense rivalry between Lord Tony Baddingham and Rupert Campbell-Black (Alex Hassell). Former EastEnders star Danny Dyer, who plays self-made successful electronics businessman Freddie Jones will also be returning to season 2. Filming onset, the actor was seen 'having a Mare' riding horseback on location in Gloucestershire. In the snaps, Danny could be seen on a horse, wearing a white jockey outfit and a blue helmet - and of course, his signature Freddie Jones moustache. The bromance with former Olympic showjumper Rupert Campbell-Black (Alex Hassell) was in full force as the pair were seen in matching jockey outfits. Despite the pictures not giving too much away, Danny didn't hold back on teasing the new season. Speaking at the winner's press conference at the 2025 BAFTA Television Awards, Danny told fans that the second series "is so much better than the first" at the winner's press conference at tonight's 2025 BAFTA Television Awards. "It's a beautiful job for me [and] I love working with Katherine [Parkinson]." The good news doesn't stop there. Season two will be even longer than its predecessor with a total of 12 episodes compared to the eight in series one. Speaking on the new series, Executive producer and Rivals author Dame Jilly Cooper said: 'I'm utterly sex-static filming for the second season is upon us. It was magical working with Happy Prince and Disney+ on the first season and seeing everyone fall head over heels for my beloved characters. 'I'm delighted to be able to work with them again and for everyone to see what further mischief they all get up to!' Disney+ has promised in audiences will be getting 'even more wit, desire, and dramatic twist' as 'power struggles escalate and rivalries deepen" and "ambition drives every move' with loyalties are pushed to the 'edge'. The shots of Danny come shortly after he attended his daughter Dani's wedding to West Ham star, Jarod Bowen. The pair tied the knot in a stunning ceremony at the five-star Langley Hotel in Buckinghamshire. In the lead up to the big day, Danny told the Mirror: 'I have met every single boyfriend that has walked through my door - and then she brings home the West Ham captain. 'I have gone from the lying scum, and I hate them, to a man who I would not mind to tonguing myself. A strong man. If he lent in I would put my lips on this geezer."

Orlando Bloom wants to ‘get the band back together' for Pirates Of The Caribbean
The 48-year-old, who plays Will Turner in the Disney film franchise, told ITV's This Morning there is a chance the cast could reunite for a new instalment. Asked if more Pirates Of The Caribbean features are possible, he said: 'Well, I don't know, I can't say anything at the moment because I really don't know, but there's definitely availability. 'I think they're trying to work out what it would all look like, I personally think it'd be great to get the band back together, that would be great, but there are always different ideas, and so we'll see where it lands.' Bloom also spoke about his latest film Deep Cover, which will be released on June 12, saying he took inspiration from Oasis frontman Liam Gallagher when constructing his character. A post shared by This Morning (@thismorning) The Kent-born actor said: 'When I read in the script that (his character) was a northern I was like, 'who's the iconic northerner that I know?'. 'Growing up I went to Knebworth and seeing Liam and the boys, the whole band, but Liam, he's just got that swag, hasn't he? 'I thought if I can get even close to that, I'd have a lot of fun trying, and it sort of lent itself, and I kind of imagined that (he) was sort of this desperate, out of work actor, maybe he worked at like a costume house or something. 'So he'd get really into the costume and what he was wearing, and the Liam look and everything, so it was a really great way into the character, and I had a lot of fun with it.' The Pirates Of The Caribbean series has seen five feature films: The Curse Of The Black Pearl (2003); Dead Man's Chest (2006); At World's End (2007); On Stranger Tides (2011); and Dead Men Tell No Tales (2017); along with the short film Pirates Of The Caribbean: Tales Of The Code: Wedlocked (2011). The series is based on the Disneyland attraction of the same name, and follows the adventures of Captain Jack Sparrow, played by Johnny Depp. It has also spawned a number of video games.
