Artemis Fowl has now arrived on Disney+ after it skipped cinemas due to the current global situation closing cinemas worldwide.
Disney boss Bob Chapek explained that the decision was because Artemis Fowl fits the "demographic and appeal" for Disney+ audiences, given that it's based on a hugely popular book series.
Artemis Fowl is now available to watch on Disney+, but if you're not a Disney+ subscriber already, you can actually enjoy the movie for free by signing up for a seven-day Disney+ free trial.
What to Read Next
All you need to do is go through the process of setting up an account on the official Disney+ site, including your bank details (but don't worry, you won't be charged), and then you can start your free trial.
You will be automatically charged once your free trial is up though, so make sure to cancel if you don't want to pay the £5.99 a month or £59.99 a year for a Disney+ subscription.

Based on the 2001 book of the same name by Eoin Colfer, Artemis Fowl follows a 12-year-old criminal mastermind who has to rescue his father by retrieving an item he stole from the fairies.
After the main trailer arrived in March, Artemis Fowl fans had worried that the movie adaptation had softened the lead character – something that we wrote about in our review of the movie.
