After a lot of rumours and anticipation, Disney at long last, announced plans for its own streaming service called Disney+.
With a long range of impressive content that includes works from Marvel, Pixar, National Geographic, ESPN, including its recently acquired 20th Century Fox, India's Hotstar and even its own classics, Disney+ could become one of the biggest streaming service around.
However, the service will not be available until November 12 in North America - and in some markets, it will take much longer. The delay is due mostly to the fact that Disney is still trying to get back the rights to many of its content it sold to other streaming platforms. And it could take up to four years before it can completely get them all back.
During Disney’s investor presentation last week, the company unveiled plans for the series, movies, classics and upcoming exclusives that will be available on the streaming platform when it eventually takes off. There will be 7,500 episodes, 25 original series, 400 library movie titles, and 100 recent theatrical film releases on the streaming service.
Among the list will be classic shows such as the first 30 seasons of the Simpsons and Malcolm in the Middle.
Marvel fans can look forward to a number of series in the works based on Marvel characters such as WandaVision, The Falcon and The Winter Soldier, Hawkeye, and Loki. Additionally, Marvel movies such as Captain Marvel will also be available on day of streaming launch.
Other theatrical films to be available include the entire library collection of Disney classics such as Mary Poppins, all the Star Wars, and Pixar that includes a short video based on Bo Peep of the Toy Story franchise.
Disney live-action Lady and the Tramp will arrive on the streaming service, as well well as, content from Disney Channel that includes original movies, such as the new The Phineas and Ferb Movie and High School Musical: The Musical: The Series.
There will also be exclusive content like the holiday movie Noelle starring Anna Kendrick and Bill Hader, Timmy Failure, based on the book series, Stargirl, based on the best-selling book, will also be available, and Togo, starring Willem Dafoe,
With all these amazing gallery, Disney+ is sounding out the battle cry toward other streaming services such as Netflix that they are here to stay.
Subscribers will be able to download content from Disney+ for offline viewing. The service will be ad-free with a monthly subscription of $6.99 per month, and an annual subscription set at $69.99.
Disney+ will be available on gaming consoles, smart TV’s, and connected streaming devices.
