Transport yourself to various worlds in Epic Universe. The highly anticipated Universal Orlando theme park is officially open, unlocking five immersive lands – including Celestial Park, SUPER NINTENDO WORLD, the Ministry of Magic, Isle of Berk, and Dark Universe. Whether you’re planning your visit or just daydreaming about your next vacation, now’s the perfect time to stream the movies and shows that inspired the rides, attractions, and unforgettable moments waiting for you inside the park. 

Luckily, Peacock has you covered. Dive into fan-favorite franchises like Shrek, How to Train Your Dragon, Harry Potter, and Despicable Me – all available to stream now on Peacock. Here’s your guide to what to watch (and why) before your next epic escape. 

Shrek

Welcome to the swamp – and beyond. The Shrek franchise is a sharp-witted fairytale sendup that’s become a cultural phenomenon, packed with heart, humor, and enough quotable lines to last a lifetime. Follow the unlikely hero ogre Shrek, his chatterbox sidekick Donkey, and a whole kingdom’s worth of misfit characters as they upend classic storybook tropes and remind us that happily ever after isn’t one-size-fits-all. 

Catch the magic, mayhem, and layers of this fan-favorite franchise on Peacock: 

How to Train Your Dragon

Take flight with this visually stunning and emotionally rich trilogy that follows the bond between a misfit Viking named Hiccup and his rare dragon companion, Toothless. Set in the magical Isle of Berk, the How to Train Your Dragon series explores themes of trust, bravery, and growing up – plus, the dragons are undeniably cool.

Before you soar through Berk in the park, catch up on the films that started it all: 

Harry Potter

Step inside the Ministry of Magic – literally. The Wizarding World expands at Epic Universe, and there’s no better way to prepare than by rewatching the Harry Potter saga from start to finish. Follow Harry, Ron, and Hermione as they navigate Hogwarts, face dark forces, and uncover their destinies.

Revisit the full magical journey in the Harry Potter collection now.

Despicable Me

Get ready for bananas, shrink rays, and a whole lot of Minions. The Despicable Me series follows former supervillain Gru as he fumbles through fatherhood, fends off foes, and occasionally saves the world, with his army of yellow sidekicks always close behind. Equal parts hilarious and heartwarming, this franchise is a favorite for families and anyone who loves a good villain-turned-hero arc.
