Nothing official yet but take a look at Disney titles - they now display the blue Disney logo the same way other titles show a UV one... There still isn't an option on the DMA site to link to Vudu though.

Fox owns the home video rights for the first 6 films until 2020...Stephen Brooks said:Now they just need to announce a Digital HD release of all the Star Wars movies, as was rumored to happen this Fall. Guardians of the Galaxy would be a good tie-in title.
Actually they own the original movie forever. It's been discussed ad nauseum on other threads, but the general consensus is that if there is money to be made, it will happen. Fox can't do anything without Disney/Lucasfilm either, distribution rights mean very little if you're not given anything to distribute. Given the choice between no more money at all from Star Wars, and sharing with Disney, I think they would opt to share. It's very possible that a deal has already been made. Remember how taken by surprise everyone was when the Disney sale was announced? They are good at keeping these things quiet until they are good and ready.Patrick Donahue said:Fox owns the home video rights for the first 6 films until 2020...
There's a DMA-branded link to Vudu's Disney movies on their Collections area, but still nothing to link the two accounts...What exactly is your point?Stephen Brooks said:The Vudu/DMA link is now live, FYI.
You have been able to link the two accounts since last night...Ejanss said:There's a DMA-branded link to Vudu's Disney movies on their Collections area, but still nothing to link the two accounts...What exactly is your point?
When I linked my Vudu account the first day that was offered, I remember it taking a few hours for everything to show up. I'm sure you'll fine.Joshua Clinard said:Well it appears that DMA is having some growing pains, just like UV did when it started. I redeemed a DMA movie this morning, and it didn't sync to my account for a few hours, so I unlinked my DMA account. Then I linked them back together, and the movie showed up. The problem is, now all the other DMA movies (about 25) are completely gone from vudu. This is against the terms of service which state that if you unlink account your existing movies will stay in your provider account. So something is wrong with linking right now.
Thank you.Joshua Clinard said:Disney titles are not UV, so they aren't available for sharing.
