Disney’s Exclusive Contents
Disney Plus is a streaming video service created by Walt Disney Direct-to-Consumer and International. The multimedia web app will offer a video-on-demand service with the subscription-type model that allows streaming with up to four devices simultaneously. Users can expect original Disney contents that cannot be found on other streaming services.
What Users Can Expect From Disney?
Disney + will offer its vast collection of well-recognized television series, movies, documentaries, and animations, along with Disney-exclusive content. It is estimated that around 7,000 TV series episodes, as well as 400 to 500 films, will be available in the subscription service. What’s more, this catalog is continually growing with more content, including support for 4K resolution and Dolby Atmos sound on compatible devices. You can download anything you want and watch it on the go.
There are 25 original series that users can enjoy watching. These new original series are based on highly-budgeted titles such as Lucasfilm’s Star Wars and Marvel’s Avengers. Users also anticipate rare Disney animated features that have been lost in time, released as direct-to-video movies, and locked from the fabled “Disney Vault”. The subscription service will also include Disney-acquired content from 20th Century Fox, Lucasfilm, Marvel Studios, National Geographic, and Pixar. A great example is The Simpsons’ entire 30 seasons. Any R-Rated content will be absent to keep everything family-friendly, with additional parental controls included.
The subscription service shall come with a neatly organized and smooth user interface. It is also free from advertising so that anyone can enjoy their viewing experience at peace. You can even create a GroupWatch session that lets you watch with up six friends online. There are different tiers of programs based on every Disney-acquired content. Users have the option of paying a monthly or annual subscription to see if the current series is worth it to watch. The subscription service also bundles Hulu and ESPN for non-Disney content. Hulu will air the more mature series while ESPN focuses on sports.
