I’ll update with more info as it’s released

[LukeB]

What's going to happen to Disney life?

What's going to happen to Disney life?

Tf is that?

[LukeB]

Tf is that?

Mess, haven't you heard of it? I have it on my firestick

It has disney films on it and disney tv shows like That's So Raven.Also you can watch disney channel on it too.

[Smithy]

Probably get rid of it completely or say it’s merged/rebranded

[Denver]

So is it only launching in US to begin with? If the price is the same for the UK it will be a very cheap streaming platform which they knew especially with Netflix upping prices would help

Introductory price. Wait and see them raise the price after it takes off, and other services have to close.

I got a trial of that to watch Star Wars: Rebels and Tron Uprising.

[Jake.]

Kinda tempted for having The Simpsons alone tbh

[Elliot]

This doesn’t actually look that bad? Expected it to be desperate flop attempt at getting in at that streaming coin

[Nicky91]

no thanks

[Morgan.]

Love, Simon TV Series? Perched

[user104658]

I mean if it stays that price (that looks like UK £4.99 to me...) I'd probably sub but otherwise have to be honest and say I'll just watch the Marvel series by other means if they're worth watching.

Then again, given the state of the pound, it'll probably be about £20/m by then. :umm2:

[Strictly Jake]

Currently pay 5 pound a month for the Disney life app for the kids. I hope I'm not having to pay another fee out for the streaming service and they can just merge them together so I can stream on the TV

Expected for a 2020 UK launch

Same and Malcolm in the Middle :laugh: plus it’ll probably have Family Guy, and American Dad

Just cancel the life one when it’s released in the UK? :shrug:

[Glenn.]

**** I forgot they own the simpsons now.

Perched for the whole thing tbh

[LukeB]

I got a trial of that to watch Star Wars: Rebels and Tron Uprising.

I just subscribed to it to watch Raven's new show and re-watch some old disney shows

[LukeB]

I;m definitely going to subscribe to this whenever it's out :flutter:

[Smithy]

Q1 Q2 2020 for Western Europe is what a roadmap I saw earlier said

:oh: that's ages away

[Smithy]

It’s this time next year, lol

[Glenn.]

How will a Love, Simon series work though

[Black Dagger]

How will a Love, Simon series work though

It's not even based on him kmt. They are focusing on Leah and her bisexuality and issues like body confidence and none of the cast are meant to be reprising their roles.

[LukeB]

Still ages away :suspect:

[Glenn.]

Then they can KEEP IT!

[Mystic Mock]

It sounds quite good.

[Marsh.]

Making of Frozen 2 documentary series

Wow, the series we've all been waiting for huh?

[Marsh.]

Given the list in the OP, a basic price for a basic service.

[user104658]

Given the list in the OP, a basic price for a basic service.Yep once they have a few dozen more movies and a couple of seasons of each of the original shows available, it's quite likely prices will go up IMO.

[Denver]

We are getting it in March :skull:

[Black Dagger]

Because of Sky contracts... at least we are getting it.

[arista]

Amazon Fire Tablets will allow Disney+

Reported on CNN HD Business

Disney Shares have gone up.....

[Black Dagger]

Launch brought forward to the 24th March in UK

5.99 a month/59.99 a year.

It's quite cheap, really. I'll probably get it.

[Amy Jade]

I'll get it for £5.99 a month

[Zizu]

Thats affordable I guess ... wonder what will happen to all the Disney stuff on Sky Movies , Netflix and Amazon though ... will it simply disappear ??

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk ProNetflix and Amazon Prime, yes they'll disappear when various contracts expire I imagine. Sky Movies probably not, different customer base mostly.

Make sure you can get out of it
as well.
Just in case.

[user104658]

Just in case.In case £6 a month becomes suddenly unaffordable?

:worry: Brexit...

[Smithy]

A Lizzie Maguire reboot in the works for this

Copying Ms Raven I see!

[michael21]

Her mum pays for it and amysss don't even give her the 1p changes :fist::fist:

[Smithy]

Simpsons won’t be available at UK launch because of Sky’s deal

[Glenn.]

Nnn when will it be then

[Smithy]

When the contract expires I guess?

[Tom4784]

There's a pre-order deal happening atm where if you pre-order for a year you'll get a tenner off the asking price. Might be worth it for people who know they'll use it for the long run.

[Smithy]

The Love, Simon series has been pulled from scheduling and will now sit on Hulu instead

[user104658]

Simpsons won’t be available at UK launch because of Sky’s deal

Nnn when will it be then

There's a tonne of stuff missing from UK Netflix that almost every other country has, because Sky has long-term deals on them for Sky Atlantic... with Disney+ I think it'll probably depend on whether or not they think the draw of having it on Disney+ outweighs the cold hard cash they're getting for the rights to air it exclusively. Although, Disney is pushing hard to establish streaming so they might not base it as a purely financial decision.

[LukeB]

The simpsons IS coming to disney+ uk

[Denver]

Yes they signed a deal for it to become part of Sky Q and Now TV

[user104658]

Netflix have a similar thing (Netflix through your Sky sub). Makes a lot of sense really, there are plenty of Luddites still around who would probably never sign up for a streaming service independently but will happily add one to their Sky bill.

[Glenn.]

Praise the lord for the Simpson’s

[user104658]

I pre-ordered because my youngest will watch all of the kids films. Older daughter still loves crap like "Descendants", too.

[LukeB]

5 days to go :dazzler:

[user104658]

So it's here, but there's no SmartTV app for it :idc:. Got it on the PC and kids have it on their tablets but WHY is it not on the TV? A Samsung app definitely exists because they have it in the US. Pullya finga aat Samsung!

its not on my samsung yet, but its on Apple devices/apple tv

[Mitchell]

It’s on my fire stick already

[user104658]

It’s on my fire stick alreadyI do have one of those in a drawer somewhere actually. Not sure if I have the remote for it though...

[Smithy]

Not even ****ing available in Guernsey, screaming

[LukeB]

I wish the free trial was 30 days instead of 7

[Glenn.]

If you have Sky Q it’s on there now.

[LukeB]

It’s on playstation.

[Jake.]

I watched TS2 and Bugs Life today :flutter:

[user104658]

If you have Sky Q it’s on there now.It’s on playstation.Ffffff I spent ages looking for that fire stick and remote (I did actually find both, too) but I have a PS4 and Sky Q. Didn't think to check either of them :umm2:

[bots]

its on Samsung now, I PM'd you hours ago :laugh:

[user104658]

its on Samsung now, I PM'd you hours ago [emoji23]Yeah I was just being really impatient :joker:. I never see PM's at the moment because I'm always on Tapatalk and never go to the main screen. My PC has been abducted by a school-less child.

[user104658]

On the plus side, I now have FOUR ways to watch Disney+ on the main TV :joker:

[Amy Jade]

Definitely worth the £5 a month

After a very stressful day a disney film is always a life me up

[user104658]

So, the Disney+ app doesn't work on iOS versions under iOS11. My youngest has an iPad 4, which only goes to iOS10.

New rage.

There's absolutely NO reason for it, every other streaming app (Netflix, A-Prime, YouTube etc.) works on iOS10. Disney+ app works on an ancient Fire TV stick ffs. For what possible reason is it locked to iOS11 and above? Are they getting a kickback from Apple because they know that a lot of kids - the primary audience - have slightly older tablets and will need to upgrade to have Disney+?

Genuinely peeved. There's nothing wrong with her iPad 4, I'm not paying several hundred £ for a more recent iPad just so she can have Disney, and I can't even just switch her to one of our Android tablets because she's learning disabled and has gotten great at using and navigating her iPad but will be confused and frustrated if suddenly presented with a different tablet.

Looks like it’s adding films from 21 Century Fox

https://twitter.com/disney/status/1337155597251317761?s=21

Hopefully it’ll include more than just PG films

[Marsh.]

What is Star? Yet another platform or part of Disney+?

[Smithy]

Yeah it’ll just be tab on the menu like Marvel/National Geographic/Star Wars etc

[Smithy]

Due to the addition of Star, Disney+ will be raising its prices in Europe to €8.99. Star will include titles such as Kingsman, Die Hard, Alien, Atlanta, Modern Family, Homeland, and The Americans. Per Campbell, "We’re making a service even more compelling to older teens and adults." Disney+ will launch with Star in Japan and South Korea later in 2021.

Oh perched, if Alien is on there then there’ll be 18+ stuff

[Marsh.]

Oh good, I'll get it when they start adding more than kiddie films.
