Yup. Togo was great and the real MVP compared to the more famous Balto
I wonder if they are ever going to update the $300-400 worth of iTunes movies I have in HD that are available in 4K on their service. Seems like a bit of a slap in the face. It's not much of a subscription incentive because I didn't subscribe to watch what I already own.
You mean like a free upgrade? Or just having those movies be available in 4k on itunes? Because I doubt you're just going to get a free 4k upgrade for every movie you bought digitally, and I don't really see the point of buying them all again if you already own them in 1080p.
Last night, I was able to connect my iPhone to my Blu-Ray player so I could stream Gargoyles on my television. But now the app didn't have the "Connect Device To" option, so I'm very confused as to why it isn't available now (especially since I could connect Amazon Prime Video and Netflix without hassle).
Anyone care to explain why this has happened?

Every iTunes-movie that was owned in HD got upgraded to 4K on availability for free.
Pleasantly surprised to see a Simpsons Christmas category with all the Christmas episodes sorted out.
Now to see if they play in order, or if it just goes through the normal episode order...

Dang the Phineas and Ferb Christmas Vacation is the original version and not the extended version. I try to watch it once every year and it's really jarring to watch the original on D+. Like, I know they added songs but there's lots of little bits of dialog and jokes missing too. Disappointing :/ I think the only way to get it officially is getting the complete pack of episodes on iTunes.

Just in time for everyone's free year to expire and renew! Still going to... lack for similar content, in between.
They did, but it's confirmed for a 2020 fall release, this time. That's why I noted the timing.
Having access to nearly every Disney Movie and a large chunk of their TV shows makes it worth being subbed for life for me personally. And with how soon new movies are added to the service, I'll never have to purchase a new Disney movie again(with a few exceptions).
At the end of the day you'll know what to expect out of the service depending on how much you're into Disney as a brand. Obviously if you're not a big fan you won't get much out of it.
From one of the IPs? Clone Wars starts in February.
Anyone watch 'Pick of the Litter' yet?
Also, Togo is an amazing effort that Disney used to be known for, those mid budget movies.
As good as mando was, I think imagineering story is my favorite new thing I've watched on +. Fascinating from beginning to end
high school musical: the musical: the series is still currently airing and I think the month after it ends is Clone Wars.
Now that Imagineering, Mando and my Star Wars film rewatch are done a lot more time for me to rewatch some of the films like Pirates as well as some of the MCU and Pixar films I want to see again.
I think that is actually a really smart call as they should be put in some of the big MCU markets like Asia and Latin America not long after the launch of some of the MCU shows so may lead to less privacy.
I still find it incredibly strange that Europe is so late considering how big the Star Wars IP is there.
I'm guessing in hindsight they should have started production as soon as Endgame was wrapped.
I feel similarly but we'll have to see what they price this at once the honeymoon period is over.
What's coming to Disney+ Janurary 2020
Still hopeful for Malcolm in the Middle to drop on Disney+ any day now, but them being radio silent on a date is disappointing.
If you haven't watched them here's some youtube channels you might enjoy:
Defunctland
Yesterworld
Expedition Theme Park
Don't forget "Abandoned" by Bright Sun Films a lot of his early videos were on Disney parks.
They should do a big budget National Treasure series with the cast returning. Not even joking.
Interesting that they're adding Red Tails. I mean, it was Lucasfilm, sure, but it's also a straight up war movie. I don't understand the logic that that is fine but a lot of the FOX movies not currently on the service aren't.
Could a lot of Fox movies be tied up in other licensing deals/services right now?
I was just thinking about the same thing today. I know production and quality takes time so I'm fully understanding of it, but, it does feel weird that they didn't manage to at least get a single Marvel show to be ready shortly after The Mandalorian S1. They'll obviously drop stuff in between till spring but I doubt there's gonna be anything even close to as 'big' or 'huge' as the MCU shows coming soon. Obviously though, production and all of that takes time so it is what it is right? At the end of the day, we know it's coming.
I do kind of get the idea that Disney+ wasn't fully planned, consider they made a deal with netflix to give them exclusive rights to the MCU films for a while starting in....2026? what the fuck? anyways. Digging a bit more, it sounds like they started thinking about D+ in 2017, but at that time, they were working on IW and EG. I guess they could've started production of FAWS after EG wrapped, but they were still working on SFX, possibly until EG's release. And if it takes as long to produce FAWS and Wandavision as it does a theatrical release (about a year) they wouldn't've finished FAWS till May 2020, which is pretty close to the August 2020 release they're aiming for now. I think they would've been better off getting What If? ready maybe whenever Clone war finishes, instead of the jampacked 2021 we have now.
You sure about that? Couldn't find anything about international distributors.
Either way though, Red Tails was the same as all of the post-ANH Star Wars films - funded by George and fully owned by LFL. Disney owns it all outright now. I don't think there's anything weird about its inclusion either. It's PG-13 and not tied down by licensing deals.
Most, if not all of the lacking Fox films can be explained with: being held for future content, lack of recent masters, existing distribution deals, and R ratings.
Yeah this seems poorly planned when competing against services that constantly have new, big content coming out. I'm thinking I'm going to cancel my sub after this month until clone wars comes out.
Not what I meant, it's....
Right.
What I meant is that Disney claimed a few months ago that they didn't want to dillute their family-friendly brand and were going to keep Disney+ to, well, mostly Disney stuff. It was literally Disney + Star Wars + Marvel + Pixar + Nat Geo. The few exceptions were Avatar (which Disney has been wholly integrating into their brand even before its acquisition via the theme park attractions), and family friendly FOX movies like Home Alone. Something like Red Tails, as a straight up war movie, is another step up. And is definitely an outlier on the service at this point in time.
My point being, if Red Tails can exist on the service, there is no reason a vast majority of FOX's library can't as well. Their reasoning for keeping Hulu alive and separate as its own series was basically existing on the shoulders of this "we're keeping Disney+ family friendly" argument. Of course, long term I always expected (and still expect) Hulu to cease to exist entirely and its content to be completely merged into Disney+. I'm not complaining about this at all, it's just surprising that a movie like this is being added to the service so quickly.
Some certainly could, especially recent ones. But there isn't really an explanation for a lot of the back catalog that isn't or hasn't been licensed anywhere.
I meant to reply to a similar post to this earlier but I think it's a little unfair and rather shortsighted of you to compare D+ and bemoan the lack of originals to Netflix when it's half the price. It's very much a Disney Legacy service right now and the price reflects that. I think when we get a lot more of the originals, they'll probably raise the price, around 2022 or so.
I also got the bundle, having it with Hulu feels like a more comparable service imo.
As someone who's been waiting for The Muppet Show to get it's final seasonal box sets, maybe Disney+ won't deny the complete series being made widely available.
Takes time to produce this content...I think it's fine that they are giving these shows the time they need, and the price reflects that they dont have the repertoire of Netflix yet.
This first year is pretty dry, at least we have Clone Wars in between the two seasons of Mando. But if you're a Marvel fan we are gonna be eating good & plenty starting next year.
For someone without kids old enough to watch TV, the price isn't the bargain you think it is. Apple released a service with no backlog, but for 2 dollars cheaper than D+, they already have 5 more shows than D+ that I'm interested in, and they're introducing at least one more new one per month the rest of the year. Most of Disney's adult shows will never see the service as they go right to Hulu, which is also cheaper than D+. Sorry, but D+ to many of us is a horrible service for any price due to the lack of interesting new content.
