Dancing With The Stars' Disney+ Night Leaves One Couple Without A Fairy Tale Ending — Who Went Home In Week 4?

For the first time ever, Dancing With the Stars brought a new detail to its annual Disney Night broadcast: It added a plus sign to the proceedings.

Indeed, as a nod to its new streaming home, Dancing With the Stars transformed Disney Night into Disney+ Night. And sure, all the usual corporate synergy and shameless content plugs were part of the show, as is tradition — but Dancing's foray into Disney+ fare also allowed the show to creatively build performances around shows and movies that we haven't seen honored before, from The Simpsons to Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2. (Both of those routines came with exceptional hair and makeup, by the way... though we'd be lying if we said Mark Ballas' transformation into Homer Simpson didn't also terrify us a little.)

Of course, plenty of Disney and Pixar classics were also represented in Monday's performances, including homages to Hercules, Mary Poppins, The Princess and the Frog and more. And though the Season 31 couples are still seeking that elusive "10" paddle from one of the judges, Monday's well-received routines did earn some of this season's highest scores thus far.

Who impressed you the most on Disney+ Night? And who fell short of a "happily ever after"? Keep scrolling for our recap of Monday's performances and results, then weigh in with your own thoughts!

SAFE: Joseph Baena and Daniella Karagach

DANCE STYLE: Charleston (to "A Star Is Born" from Hercules)

If you had any question that Daniella was back in the ballroom this week, look no further than this routine's crazy-high number of tricks and lifts. Her calling card! Unfortunately, once Joseph set the tricks aside and got into classic Charleston choreography, it was a little messy and unsynchronized — but there was a lightness in those feet that continues to surprise in the best way.

JUDGES' SCORE: 28 out of 40

SAFE: Jordin Sparks and Brandon Armstrong

DANCE STYLE: Jazz (to "Remember Me" from Coco)

I admit I was left wondering if Jordin and Brandon would have benefited even more from the slowed-down, lullaby version of "Remember Me," which perhaps could have given them the opportunity to perform an emotional Viennese waltz or rumba. But this jazz was perfectly lovely in its own right, offering Jordin a chance to showcase clear improvement with her turns.

JUDGES' SCORE: 34 out of 40

SAFE: Wayne Brady and Witney Carson

DANCE STYLE: Jazz (to "Wait for It" from Hamilton)

Perhaps this season's first genuinely memorable, YouTube-rewatch-worthy routine, this jazz was exquisite from the first step. Witney's choreography beautifully blended fluid contemporary moves with more staccato popping, leading to a lovely push and pull in not only her and Wayne's bodies, but their emotions, as well. (That said, how rude of Dancing to rob us of Leslie Odom Jr.'s vocals.)

JUDGES' SCORE: 36 out of 40

SAFE: Daniel Durant and Britt Stewart

DANCE STYLE: Quickstep (to "Finally Free" from High School Musical: The Musical: The Series)

The quickstep's speedy pace, combined with a difficult-to-find musical pocket in "Finally Free," caused Daniel to make his first noticeable mistakes of the competition. But even though there were several errors throughout the number, Daniel maintained a nice frame with his upper body, and his facial expressions admirably never gave any indication that he was struggling with the choreography.

JUDGES' SCORE: 29 out of 40

SAFE: Shangela and Gleb Savchenko

DANCE STYLE: Charleston (to "Dig a Little Deeper" from The Princess and the Frog)

Shangela and Gleb brought energy and enthusiasm to this Charleston, and given Shangela's size, that lift around Gleb's neck toward the end of the routine was no small feat. The only downside here — with all due respect, of course! — was Jenifer Lewis' live performance of "Dig a Little Deeper," which seemed to distract Shangela more than it aided her.

JUDGES' SCORE: 32 out of 40

SAFE: Heidi D'Amelio and Artem Chigvintsev

DANCE STYLE: Viennese Waltz (to "Chim Chim Cher-ee" from Mary Poppins)

We all love to see a dark horse's ascent in this competition, and Heidi's trajectory has become particularly compelling to watch. Each week, she seems to get more sure of herself on the dance floor — and this week, her elegance and confident footwork were combined with an impressive handling of a potentially unwieldy prop.

JUDGES' SCORE: 34 out of 40

SAFE: Gabby Windey and Val Chmerkovskiy

DANCE STYLE: Quickstep (to "Mr. Blue Sky" from Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2)

Perhaps it was the transformative Gamora makeup that allowed Gabby to shed her lingering nerves this week; whatever it was, it really worked, making way for the Bachelorette alum to confidently attack this extremely content-filled routine. Every beat of "Mr. Blue Sky" was utilized here, as was every corner of the ballroom floor, but not once did Gabby's energy or poise appear to droop.

JUDGES' SCORE: 36 out of 40

SAFE: Vinny Guadagnino and Koko Iwasaki

DANCE STYLE: Samba (to "Il Gatto E La Volpe" from Luca)

Vinny's candid discussion of his struggle with anxiety was very refreshing — but an even more pleasant surprise was his commitment to acting for this number, especially at the start of the routine before the dancing got underway. On the technical front, there's still room for improvement, but the Jersey Shore alum brought a delightful ease and openness to his movements this week.

JUDGES' SCORE: 29 out of 40

SAFE: Selma Blair and Sasha Farber

DANCE STYLE: Quickstep (to "The Muppet Show Theme" from The Muppet Show)

Each week, Selma rises to another choreographing challenge from Sasha; this time around, the number was quite acrobatic, and Selma bravely cartwheeled and somersaulted all over that stage, all while nailing the more technical quickstep moves.

JUDGES' SCORE: 32 out of 40

SAFE: Jessie James Decker and Alan Bersten

DANCE STYLE: Jive (to "One Way or Another" from Hocus Pocus 2)

I'll be honest: I spent much of this routine in awe of Alan's Billy Butcherson makeup. Are we sure it wasn't Doug Jones doing that jive? Are we sure? Anyway, though I'd argue that Jessie's kicks and flicks could have been even crisper, she demonstrated a solid command of the fast-paced footwork, and her embodiment of Sarah Sanderson was utterly bewitching. (Speaking of Hocus Pocus 2... didja catch all those Easter eggs in the sequel?)

JUDGES' SCORE: 31 out of 40

SAFE: Charli D'Amelio and Mark Ballas

DANCE STYLE: Jazz (to "Main Title Theme" from The Simpsons)

If you looked closely at the spectators in the Skybox after Charli and Mark's routine, you could see Artem Chigvintsev giving a shrug that seemed to say, "Why are the rest of us even trying?" And though I'd argue that the most objectively talented dancer doesn't always have the season's most captivating arc to watch, it's hard to deny that Charli and Mark are simply tremendous together. Say what you will about Charli's prior dance experience, but I don't know that anyone else on the Season 31 roster could have handled such a tricky, genre-bending performance, especially one set to an instrumental score that frequently changed tempo. And in that Marge Simpson wig? Kudos all around.

JUDGES' SCORE: 36 out of 40

IN DANGER, SAVED BY JUDGES: Trevor Donovan and Emma Slater

DANCE STYLE: Samba (to "Life is a Highway" from Cars)

Poor Trevor, who's still figuring out whether he even enjoys dancing, got saddled with "Life is a Highway"... for a samba?! This had to be one of the most egregiously mismatched music/dance style pairings in the show's history; it was no wonder Trevor had a tough time sinking into the pocket of the samba, when he was asked to do so alongside a country-rock anthem.

JUDGES' SCORE: 28 out of 40

ELIMINATED: Sam Champion and Cheryl Burke

DANCE STYLE: Paso Doble (to "The Greatest Show" from The Greatest Showman)

Sam's paso doble was focused and intense... until the pre-chorus hit, when the GMA weatherman started to look totally at sea with the choreography. Cheryl gamely talked him through the steps, but there was certainly a confidence missing from the execution, including a wobbly floor spin for Cheryl at the end.

JUDGES' SCORE: 25 out of 40
