Couldn’t find a thread on this. Disney+ will launch on Nov. 12 and you can pay $6.99/month or $69.99/year. The Scarlet Witch-Vision series will be called WandaVision & the first episode of animated series WHAT IF will ask, what if Peggy Carter had taken the super soldier serum instead of Steve Rogers? They’ve also got The Mandalorian and a Hawkeye TV show that are confirmed. |

Loki
Bucky and Falcon
Cassian Andor (From Rogue One)
They are all using the original cast members. Even in the animated WHAT IF series, the original actors are doing the voices.
Disney is spending a fuckton of money on this. Each episode of The Mandalorian cost $10 million to make. -

Think that's it. I tend to cancel NowTV pretty frequently but the others I think I'll always keep. If the Disney stuff is decent and it's only 6 quid a month or whatever I won't have a problem with getting it. It's 6 quid. -

Nope. Continual subs to Netflix, Amazon and NowTV Entertainment and Movies. Between me, my wife and the kids we use all of them a lot for different types of content. Amazon probably the least used by me aside from the odd series but my eldest watches it constantly.

Fair enough. I tend to get netflix for a month, watch what I want then leave it for 6 months. I'm probably not a typical user as I don't watch a lot of TV and still rent/buy DVDs and blu rays as many back catalogue films or minor films are not yet available via streaming. -

Registered 17 years agoI don't have regular TV (most of it is shit anyway/in Swedish).
My subs to Netflix and HBO mean that when I sit down to watch anything it's something I want to watch. If I just need something to fill a small gap somewhere I'll browse YT. I don't just get "caught up with something in the background because it's on" like is often the case with tv, so I don't mind having subs. -

Registered 14 years agoI'll probably sub to Disney from time to time to watch the stuff that interests me which is what I do with Amazon prime video. I can see a lot of people doing that. Because they are so late in the game and everybody already subs to other established stuff I can't see most people subbing to it on a continuous basis.

Registered 15 years agoI order enough stuff from Amazon for prime to be worth it just for that. If I was just in it for the TV/Films, almost certainly not.
However, if I were still a stoned student, it probably would be. I don't know how far anyone has been arsed to drill down through the strata of their film offerings but there are fucking *tons* of B, C and D movie schlock. Like more than you could watch in a lifetime. -

Registered 16 years agoThis explains it nicely.

Here's the crux of it.
"Disney Plus will include content from the Disney brand itself, Marvel, Pixar, Star Wars and National Geographic. In fact, it's organizing the service's app by those exact categories. Generally speaking, Disney plans to make Disney Plus the catch-all for its family-friendly content, while Hulu -- which Disney controls after its takeover of 21st Century Fox -- will be its subscription for edgier, more adult-oriented fare.
Disney Plus will be the only place you can stream all of Disney's theatrically released movies starting with Captain Marvel and the rest of its 2019 slate. It will also house the "entire Disney motion picture library," according to Iger, including all the classic animated movies in what the company calls the Disney vault. And of course, the company is developing a slate of original, exclusive shows and movies for the service.
Original exclusives include a Star Wars prequel series based on Rogue One and starring Diego Luna, who played Cassian Andor in the original movie. Disney also confirmed the service is developing a live-action Marvel series focused on Loki, a character from the Avengers, which will star Tom Hiddleston reprising the role.
Disney Plus will have original behind-the-scenes documentaries, too. The company also has started to make deals for original programming that doesn't already fall into one of its established brands. In January, Disney Plus ordered a 10-episode series called Diary of a Female President. The show follows a 12-year-old Cuban-American girl and the highs and lows of her middle-school life en route to becoming the US commander in chief.
Out of the vast library of Disney's past catalog, Disney Plus is supposed to offer "thousands of hours" of content, but we don't know yet exactly what could be excluded.
Even though all of Disney's movies will stream exclusively on Disney Plus, the company doesn't plan to debut any of its big-budget motion pictures on the service. Unlike Netflix's so-called day-and-date approach, which releases most of its films on big screens and on its streaming service at the same time, Disney plans for its tentpole movies, like those in its Star Wars franchise, to run their course in theaters before making them available with a digital subscription.
We do know the service will include shows and movies such as:
Star Wars: The Clone Wars new season (exclusive to this service).
Marvel movies, starting with 2019's Captain Marvel.
Star Wars films, starting with 2019's Episode 9.
Pixar films, starting with 2019's Toy Story 4.
A live-action, big-budget Star Wars TV series called The Mandalorian, being developed by Jon Favreau.
A Star Wars Rogue One prequel TV series, starring Diego Luna.
A live-action Marvel series focused on Avengers character Loki, starring Tom Hiddleston.
A Marvel series featuring Scarlet Witch, played by Elizabeth Olsen
A Marvel limited series focused on Hawkeye, featuring Jeremy Renner
Possible Marvel series that would team up Bucky Barnes (Sebastian Stan) and Sam Wilson, aka Falcon (Anthony Mackie), according to Slashfilm.
A possible What If-themed Marvel series that would imagine what the Marvel Cinematic Universe would look like if different events took place. According to a Slashfilm report, the series would be overseen by MCU head Kevin Feige and would be an animated anthology show. An episode example would reportedly feature how the Marvel timeline would unfold if Loki found Thor's hammer.
Marvel's Hero Project, a documentary series featuring the positive changes several young people are making in their own communities.
Marvel's 616 (working title), a documentary series exploring the intersection between Marvel's stories and the real world.
An animated series spinoff of Pixar's Monsters, Inc called Monsters at Work.
A series adapted from Disney movie Escape to Witch Mountain
A 10-episode series, Diary of a Female President, about a 12-year-old Cuban-American girl.
A documentary about Walt Disney Imagineering.
A Timmy Failure film directed by Spotlight's Tom McCarthy.
A live-action Lady and the Tramp remake.
A Sword in the Stone remake.
Noelle, a movie starring Anna Kendrick.
Togo, a sled dog movie starring Willem Dafoe.

The Paper Magician film.
A Stargirl film.

Be Our Guest, a Disney-inspired cooking competition at Walt Disney World.
Cinema Relics: Iconic Art of the Movies (working title), an eight-episode series revisiting beloved films through their props and costumes. Films featured include Tron, Mary Poppins, The Muppet Movie, Who Framed Roger Rabbit? and Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl.

In the battle for limited time, I'm more into what Netflix dumps out. If it hasn't got a wizard or a spaceship in it, I'm out.
Also, there's a Netflix app on the sky box. If I want to watch prime, that a whole other remote control, so fuck that.
