New on Netflix for December: 'Civil War' and 'Angry Birds'

Until this year, Netflix has not been the place to go if you wanted to see recent hit movies. Now, thanks in large part to a new deal between the service and Disney, some of the year's biggest hits are coming to Netflix just a few months after they were in theaters.

For December, the big news among new movies on Netflix is Captain America: Civil War. It's the second-highest-grossing movie of 2016, and it's going to be available for streaming before the end of the year. You'll have to wait until Christmas Day to see it on Netflix, though.

You won't have to wait nearly as long to see The Angry Birds Movie, which was a hit, at least briefly, in the late spring of this year. The Angry Birds come to Netflix on December.

Also new this month will be the Obama biopic Barry and the classic comedy National Lampoon's Animal House.

If you prefer TV, look for new seasons of Fuller House, White Rabbit Project, My Little Pony Friendship is Magic, Captive and Trollhunters.
