I think what's interesting is that their relatively limited catalog (compared to NetFlix) is an advantage for them, as I suspect their viewers repeat view a lot.
While I'm not super excited about having yet another separate streaming service, I do think that this one has a good price and offering. I just hope they don't keep anything in the Disney vault and actually make their full catalog eventually available. Having access to that along with the new shows they're releasing makes this really appealing.

@roxana_duta There is the "Disney Life" service in the UK already @ £4.99 pcm. I'm not sure how this new one will differ (it looks like there might be more content). I hope it will have a better interface!
Glad you all are excited for the launch! I work at Disney Streaming helping with infrastructure for Disney+ and ESPN+. I (obviously) can't answer product questions or timelines but just wanted to say we're working hard to make the product great!
They gave a lot of thought to this and I appreciate it.
For instance --
For Star Wars and Marvel fans, I assume it's a no-brainer. For non-Stars Wars fans (all both of us) or Marvel fans, it's a non-starter.
Then they announced a spate of remakes. Now someone like me is on the fence. Some sound good; others alarming (I'm not the target demo for a High School Musical reboot, but a Father of the Bride remake? No, thanks; Steve Martin's version is perfect). My kid loves Sword in the Stone and he may really, really want to watch the live-action remake. Overall, I'm still unsure $84/year is worth watching 3-4 movies a year so far.
So then I look at the originals they have in development. If these will only be available via streaming, well then sign me up, Disney — you had me at Anna Kendrick.
@brennon_denny I find that fascinating... two new live-action series and a new season of Clone Wars — only available to watch through the service — doesn't really move the needle? Admittedly, I don't know much about the fanbase's thoughts, only through a few friends and what they have said.
I have YouTube Premium, Netflix and Amazon Prime active subscriptions (don't ask, please). Yet I had to pay 17€ this weekend to stream Frozen. At this (fair) price, I'm clearly in.
