Yes I know they probably wouldn't acknowledge it (despite Splash Mountain, which is weird). They did imply their ENTIRE catalog.
So it was a joke in a sardonic sense, I suppose. And no I'm not racist but I'd be lying if I said I didn't want to see it once from a purely academic/historical perspective.
And if they did somehow decide to present it, it should absolutely have some kind of disclaimer or wraparound or historical context mandatory intro/outro, but that's neither here nor there since, as you said, they'll never show it.
I am genuinely sorry if my comment offended or upset you.

I said it in another post but the joke were you bring uo sots or the black face Mickey cartoons being on Disney plus is just overdone
Yeah, I can understand why someone might want this service they have kids. It's cheap and will keep their youngsters entertained in a more safe way than just handing them a tablet with the YouTube app installed.....which has sadly been the go-to option for most parents.
As a regular adult though, it's hard to see the need for Disney+. Hulu replaces your cable subscription since it offers first-run TV content. HBO Go/HBO Now offers second-run content and great original programming. Netflix has third run movies and a pretty wide selection of original content. Disney+ has a lot of older legacy content but none of it seems very relevant or urgent. I think that they will largely have to justify themselves on the strength of their original programming.
Tell that to the people who post of impending Netflix doom 😝
Sometimes it's better to have the memories of those movies/shows and not revisit them. They don't age well.....
Well Mexico falls under North America and Latin America, hope they included it under North America.
Probably due to deals that they've made that they can't get out of, which sucks.
But don't they just have the deal with Netflix for streaming in the States?
Well, yes but that's just first run theatrical content. That doesn't include the catalog which they've licensed out to various cable channels, providers and other streaming platforms.
I'm bummed there's no Buffy or any of those shows. Saying they'll be on Hulu isn't much consolation when it would be a separate service I'd need to sign up for and it's not even available in the UK anyway.
Will for sure drop mu amazon prime for this. Might even drop netflix because the offerings are lackluster
I don't know about the UK, but in the US, Facebook has the license for Buffy. Or at least they did as of December.
That's even worse. I don't use Facebook at all and I never will. 🤣

At least for Recess if you sail the high seas, you can quite easily find all episodes for all of the seasons. So, although I would appreciate it if Disney endulged me in my nostlagia to the fullest by including this beloved animated show, it's not the end of the world.
I subscribe to Prime, Netflix and NowTV. One of those must be dropped if I go for Disney+ and at the moment it's looking to be Netflix as I've hardly touched it in weeks.
Will this service also be getting Bob''s Burgers?
If so, between that, Futurama, and The Simpsons, is well worth that monthly price point for me. Add to that all the Star Wars stuff (Mandalorian and new Clone Wars especially) and MCU content, I am pretty sold.

They have marvel and the price is cheap. Thats a day 1 purchase from me. It also says its going to be on ps4 at launch so I dont even know why anyone would speculate if the spider man movies will be on it or not.
Because they are sony owned productions. Their presence isn't a given and would require Disney to pay for them. Having a PS4 app at launch means nothing.
Buffy is on Amazon Prime in the UK for what it's worth.
Not sure if it's the originals or the bastardised "HD" versions though.
Amazing price for 4K, that's incredible! But there's a huge caveat in all this, because they're still a profit-driven company and they don't do this because it's in our best interests. I hope Netflix and other streaming competitors can survive that aggressive Disney pricing. I mean it's good news for us consumers in the short term, but if competitors can't keep up and go under, or God forbid even a giant like Netflix bites the dust, Disney will raise the price without a second of hesitation back to status quo, if not even more expensive.
It's the bastardised HD versions, sadly. They are the only versions Fox supply at this point.
How will it work for a film coming out in cinemas such as Frozen 2? Does it arrive on Disney+ the same day, or does it come out the same day as the blu-rays?
Netflix has also tons of international
It arrives 2 or 3 months after the Blu-Rays.
Neither. It comes out the same time as it would on Netflix US currently, which is the pay television window, 3 -6 months after the Blu-ray release.
This is unlikely to be the case in many parts of the world if/when it launches internationally. It will be much later on average.
Oh, that's not ideal... but money is money for Disney.
I'm guessing this is better for all the new TV shows that will drop exclusively on it.
ps4 app at launch and no xbox / switch app at launch? read between the lines.
Downloads of all content
4k with no tiers
Big Pixar within a year of cinema
Every Simpsons season
This is damn aggressive although I expect pretty much annual price rises once they are established
I really hope this doesn't mean Disney will stop releasing its Pixar films on bluray though :(

As I said in the mandalorian thread. They have to be very delusional if they think people outside the US wont just get stuff through other means when they do this shit.
They won't. Movies will only be in the service months after they've been released on Blu-Ray. Disney wants to get money off the theatrical release, the home media release and from the streaming service.
If they really won't be releasing the service outside of America until late next year, everyone else will just pirate the show. Not going to be much of a selling point for the service then, but even HBO is smart enough to realise you want to hit that simultaneous airing of your big shows in as many countries as possible.
The content might not be exclusive outside of the US. Quite possible they'll sell the show to others internationally.
It says in the OP all content will be available for offline download, is that wrong?
