    Disney+ Disney+ Streaming Service (Official Thread)

    Completely agree. Tried Disney + for a month or two, but dropped it, because there wasn't any more of the classic live action they had promised. I know the older content doesn't attract as many new subscribers as the Mandalorian and The Avengers. But they could get 1 show out a week, or at...

    Interesting strategy. They can do what they like with it. But Apple TV+ paid a boatload for Greyhound and you just get it as part of the service. Netflix has Irishman, Bird Box and many other big budget films that probably could have started theatrical. (Irishman played theatrically didn't...

    Has Disney + added other significant archival series, World of Disney, specials, etc. since the ones available at original launch? Talking about 1950s-1980s. We tried it for a month at launch, and watched what was available then. Then left. Wondering if they've gotten around to releasing...

    Feels like what they've been doing for years and years. We subscribed to this for a month. Dropped it after the first month because their sharing of the Walt-era content on streaming looks like it will be getting the same attention as they've given to it on other home media for the past 15 +...

    Disney+ Disney+ Streaming Service (Official Thread)

    We just cancelled after a few months, but for a few different reasons. Most of the content released since launch has been the new style of Disney kids shows which I have no interest in - and a few more random Iron Man, Hulk and Star Wars cartoons. I burned through the available classic Disney...

    Disney+ Disney+ Streaming Service (Official Thread)

    Has anyone discovered any other additions to the "vault" area of Disney + content since the service premiered in November? I haven't found any added since what they selected at launch of the service. IE: their tv shows, serials and movies from 1990 on back?

    Disney+ Disney+ Streaming Service (Official Thread)

    I'm not trying to argue with you and don't completely disagree. I'm trying to say that I hink that streaming services may eventually license some of their content in other places, just as they do now in broadcast, syndication, home video, etc. Netflix's Stranger Things is already available on...

    Disney+ Disney+ Streaming Service (Official Thread)

    I just don't understand why some content still can't be licensed elsewhere. Especially if the streamer owns the content and creates new licenses that work for them. I saw a promo for a network series this weekend (NBC series maybe?) promoting that season 1 and 2 were available to stream on...

    Apple TV + is doing it too. I can't stand it. You have mere seconds to find the remote and mess with it or else the credits are lost. While not perfect, the "Skip Intro" feature on Netflix is a bit better. On the intro, the button is on screen and you can press skip to select. If you don't...

    Disney+ Disney+ Streaming Service (Official Thread)

    What these services may do in the short-run (more than effecting Netflix or Prime with their original & other licensed content) is have a big effect on the remaining rental business via VOD and Redbox. And physical media sales. When Frozen 2 or December's Star Wars movie leaves theaters &...

    Disney+ Disney+ Streaming Service (Official Thread)

    Of this service, so far I'm really only interested in visiting all that classic Disney material - the TV series - the classic animated and theatrical films of the 40s - 70s (primarily), their docs and other archival material. I'm sure they will produce some new content that will be good...

    Disney+ Disney+ Streaming Service (Official Thread)

    I'm interested in Disney + for the company's rich catalog and their potentially new, quality programs which are non-Star Wars and non-Marvel. I'm bored with both these things. I mean, I enjoyed the first 2 of the original 3 SW films, but then trudged through the 2nd trilogy; tried again...

    You quoted me in that list...I was skeptical in 2017 based on their cable tv channel experience. But after their announcement and 2 more years of incredible streaming experiences, programs and service from Netflix, Vudu, Hoopla and others, I think Disney + is looking good based on what I know...

    Disney+ Disney+ Streaming Service (Official Thread)

    I love streaming and never, ever going back to cable which we dropped 2 years ago. I'm not sure individual studio channels are a good idea. What makes Netflix, Amazon, Hulu and a few others so valuable is the available mix of quality content: comedy, drama, foreign films, stand up comedy...
