Disney+ - Disney's new streaming service

by

Disney+ will launch in the U.S. on Nov. 12, 2019, and will cost $6.99 per month, the company announced — nearly half Netflix’s standard $12.99 plan

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.

I like the quality over quantity approach! I also wonder how fast movies will show up on Disney+ after being shown in the theaters.

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.

@jakecrump price feels right and positions them as an add-on to Netflix

When will come to Brazil?

Just saw that the simpsons will be streaming exclusively on this, interesting shows chosen by disney it seems.
Rudi de Groot
@aaronoleary This is because of the Fox merger. Disney now owns 30% of all the productions.

Omg yass!! Is it available in UK?

@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!

I'm in if you bring back Daredevil and The Punisher!

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.

Waiting for these!

Yes, it can be blank. Fragmentation of the offer for streaming = welcome back illegal downloading.

Pros:

The Simpsons.

Cons:

Small offer, of movies we have all already seen before, in the movies for instance...

Patrick Pistor
The Mandalorian
Roberto Nickson
Are there any plans announced to bring ESPN content onto the streaming platform? That could be a game changer.
Kevin Reevers
@rpnickson no. Just a speculation of an ESPN+ add on. They’re in bed too much with cable to split...for now.
Alex MacGregor
Pity they went with the oft used '+' moniker but looks a exciting service.
Antony Bearpark
Bring Disney+ to the UK!!!
