Disney has opened up officially about its upcoming streaming service and finally given it a name – ‘Disney+’.
The Disney+ app will have five microsites within it devoted to their various key brands – Star Wars, Marvel, Pixar, Nat Geo and Disney. Each of these brand sites will have different user interfaces.
The legacy content on Disney+ is expected to include approximately 7,000 episodes of television and 500 movies to start. The initial goal is to have four to five original movies and five television shows a year with the initial show line-up including:
– Three “Star Wars” series – the resurrected animated series “Star Wars: The Clone Wars,” the live-action “The Mandalorian,” and the aforementioned Cassian Andor show.
– Marvel will be doing TV series about the characters of Loki, Scarlet Witch/Vision, and Falcon/Winter Soldier.
– Pixar is doing a yet-to-be-titled animated series based on the popular “Monsters, Inc” franchise, and a documentary series “Ink & Paint” about the untold story of the often-overlooked female employees who worked for Disney animation.
– Also coming are TV series remakes of the John Cusack-led “High Fidelity,” the Disney Channel franchise “High School Musical,” and the 1990s sports family franchise “Mighty Ducks.
– Original movies including “Magic Camp” and “Noelle” currently in post-production; “Lady and the Tramp,” “Stargirl,” “Timmy Failure”, and “Togo” currently in production; and “Three Men and a Baby,” “Don Quixote,” “Father of the Bride,” “Flora & Ulysses,” “Honey, I Shrunk the Kids,” “The Paper Magician,” “The Parent Trap,” “Peter Pan” and “The Sword in the Stone” all in development.
Once the Fox transaction is complete, Disney will have 60% ownership of Hulu and Iger made it clear that Hulu and Disney+ can co-exist quite nicely – it will be Disney’s home for general entertainment while Disney+ will house family fare.
