    There is some kind of audio problem on "Fantastic Mr. Fox". The vocals for the song in the supermarket are muffled and there was virtually no midrange or highs. It sounded like someone trying to sing through two pairs of socks. I wasn't sure at first, so I checked my Bluray of the film. It...

    Too bad, they won't resurrect Tron: Uprising.

    Cutting films to play on D+ is wrong, pure and simple. If they think the film has objectionable content then don't put it on the service. Disney obviously thinks that the only subscribers to D+ are six year olds. If they want ensure that the only subscribers are children then rename it Disney...

    I think suppressing a film with a Black actor in the lead is worse than its suppression for outdated cultural references.

    I find the opening credit skipping that Netflix does on older series more annoying than the credit shrinkage. At least with the shrinkage I can arrow over and hit enter.

    Did any of those others take a pile of D's animators with them when they quit? However, you make a good point. I never saw."Thumbelina" so I didn't know it was one of Bluth's.

    It might be a long time before a Bluth movie plays on Disney+. He didn't exactly leave the Mous House on the best terms and the Mouse never forgets. Anyway the "The Secret of NIMH" was his best film. Most of the rest of his films had a lot of story problems. He was almost as uneven a story...

    No. The LG app has been pretty solid for me. 4K, Atmos and DV. There was a glitch where the audio would drop out randomly fora 1/2 second after the ATMOS fix, but it seems to have fixed itself. The Apple 4K TV box plays TV shows like The Mandalorian in PCM while the LG plays back In DD+. I have...

    On another note, the Disney+ LG TV app has been updated so the audio is now coming through as ATMOS over the ARC connection for films with ATMOS designations. If anyone else is using the TV app, I would like to know if you are experiencing audio dropouts of about a 1/2 to 1 second long at random...

    I seriously hope that you are not comparing Vincent Teoh to a guy spouting half-assed theories while wearing a mask.

    Vincent Teoh at HDTVTest has always been about the numbers and meeting specifications, not perception, so, no, his explanation isn't dumb, because he is basing it on whether Disney's claim of the films being in HDR are being met from strictly empirical measurements. Also, Vincent Teoh is...

    The animation style draws heavily on the "rubber hose" style that Disney employed in the thirties. The series looks hand-drawn to me, since it is a 2D series. I think it is one of the better drawn, designed and animated Disney TV series. It is expressive and brings the Mouse back to his roots as...

    Thanks for the correction. I thought it had been cancelled due to lack of interest since there were a lot of fan complaints about the look of the characters in the reboot. I was also under the impression that Disney+ would only be getting a show once it completed a run on one of their other...

    Yes. That is a fail on their part. The other fail is no visual chapter stops such as Netflix has. There is a sort of "chapter stop" with the "circular arrow" icon adjacent to the play/pause button. It lets you jump back or go forward to the beginning of a segment, but there is no way to tell...

    Watched "Blackbeard's Ghost" last night. I cannot remember the last time I had seen that film. Probably as a kid when "The Wonderful World of Disney" was still on TV. Peter Ustinov and Dean Jones' performances were pretty good. They seemed to play off each other well; although, it was pretty...

    The short version of "Bedknobs and Broomsticks" is the orginal theatrical release version, so how can that be termed as a "bastardized" state. The long version sounds like it was a reconstruction that was never theatrically released, so, considering the mission statement of this site, the longer...

    I can't answer as to the issues over OAR, STAR WARS: A New Hope changes or "expiration" dates. Those are all personal choices one has to make as far as subscribing. As to not being able to connect to the service, I have been continually signed in from the day I signed up and have not suffered...

    I noticed the issue with the smart remote after you mentioned it. Switching over to using navigation keys was pretty well an unconscious move so I never really took much notice of the deficiency.So far, I haven't noticed any blockiness with the stuff I have watched. The biggest problem with the...

    Too bad they didn't put "Star versus The Forces of Evil" on it. I would have liked to check that one out after finishing up with "Gravity Falls". I think SvTFoE is still running on Disney XD so not likely to show up on this service until it is cancelled. So far "Gravity Falls" gets thumbs up...

    Not necessarily. It depends on whether the device and/or the app on the device supports it. I'm running the app that was made available for LG Smart TVs. The app does not support ATMOS through ARC, unlike Netflix's TV app. I ran a couple of films that were indicating ATMOS and they were being...

    LG Smart TVs are supposed to support the app. I downloaded the app off of LGs content store for my 2017 model 65" OLED set last night. I'm pretty sure it will be available for the set you are referencing. The downside of the LG Disney+ app is that it will not play ATMOS tracks over ARC. It...
