Cable TV is fucked. Why even need it with all these streaming services?
I'll only sign up for the Star Wars TV show along with the new Clone Wars animated show. Not until then.

They have Fox and Star Wars and Marvel content...
I believe all Star Wars movies and all 30 seasons of the Simpsons will be available on it in the first year for example...

Damn. Found out that Star Wars TV show is coming at launch. That is enough for $6.99. If I stay subscribed after I watch it is another matter.

That's a pretty decent price.

Get in now because the price hikes will hit eventually.
For 6.99 thats a great deal. Unless you love Netflix originals this is a no brainer between the two. Marvel/Star Wars movies just kills Netflix selection and for kids its game over.
They could of done 9.99, so 6.99 is pretty good. And if you aren't switching between services after bingeing you are doing it wrong.

I'm amazed it's taken this long.
It makes so much sense for a company to sell its content directly to the consumer via their own service rather than through a third party.
So long as consumers can pay per month and cancel whenever they like it's a good deal for us too. I know people are concerned that they will end up paying for many different streaming services and that it'll end up being more expensive than cable but with cable you had to pay for the service for a year and you'd often be paying for loads of content that you had no interest in.
I have no interest in being subscribed to a Disney steaming service all year but I'd happily pay for one or two months, binge what I want to watch and then cancel. I'll probably just end up paying for two months per year or something like that and watch everything that I'm interested in in one hit.

I do! At least early Disney. Haven't been a huge fan of their latest releases (Wreck-It Ralph 2 is my most disappointing theatrical sequel of the past decade). Would love it if they also release old Disney TV shows like the OG Ducktales, Even Stevens, or some of their original tv films like Smart House or Halloween Town. Would be a very nice little subscription whenever I get the itch to watch them.

It's a smart move. This is a "beat the shit out of netflix so they lose a bunch of subscribers, then raise the price years later" strategy.
It's the kind of shit Amazon loves doing too where they introduce a new service at a total loss because they're buying the idea in everyone's head that this amazing and cheap service is necessary in their lives. Then the price gets raised so it can finally become profitable.

No, I am pretty sure that the first 6 star wars movies were already licenced out to Turner for a decade or so to finance the latest movies (Soylo etc)
Those sw movies will not be part of their streaming service. Iger is probably super pleased by this. /s

That should be huge for parents. The Disney classics alone could make the service viable, and with Star Wars and Marvel on top I suppose it would be hard to fail.
If you can jump in and out as easily as with Netflix, I may subscribe for a month or two from time to time, to catch up with the movies I have missed.

It's basically everything I hate, wrapped up in a single, convenient streaming service. I spit on it.

It's cheap... For now.
Call me mad but I don't see this one working. I wouldn't have called it Disney+ for one. It implies that it's only Disney content and the general public see that as just cartoons.
Advertising is key here.

Totally understandable and I for sure agree with what you said. It’s just everything is going to be a mess later while managing all those subscriptions

Yeah that could be a problem especially if you have many different subscriptions at once. I intend to only have two or three at any one time (Netflix and Amazon Prime are my mains) so hopefully it's easy and straight forward to cancel the other subscriptions when the need arises.

What’s that? Only launching in America this year and only giving a vague “all other major regions in about two years” for the rest of the world whilst simultaneously ripping all Disney movies from Netflix worldwide seems like such a fucking great idea, won’t lead to significantly higher piracy at all will it.

As it's all Disney owned content there should be no licencing issues. So we should get the same content as the US.

Good price. But, how will Netflix respond? The plot thickens.

Price is pretty good. Although they only will be doing it for a year or two max to get people on it and undercut netflix and amazon pricing.
Then when they are releasing all their marvel and star wars series and other movies and have a good subscriber base, they will increase pricing to 9.99 or more.

I am so tired of subscriptions. Got really tired of paying for Netflix's cultural propaganda, price keeps going up and the content is laughable outside of a couple of shows you can stream for free if you're so inclined. Everything Disney is offering is repulsive to me basically, so this is a hard no for me.
The only one I have is Amazon, and that's because I pay for Prime. Not worth it in Canada for the Video service alone, but I like having access to some stuff that is on there that is hard to find, ie. Unsolved Mysteries.
This past week I have only watched Twitch streams, youtube videos, and my Dragonball DVDs. I don't feel like I'm missing out on anything by not having cable or sub services.

If they throw in ESPN+ with their Disney+, I'm 100% sure I'd pay for it. It's 100% worth it.

I still have active netflix and amazon prime subscriptions, but same as you I end up watching more twitch and especially youtube videos. xD

I have no interest in this. However, seeing Netflix having all of the Disney content ripped from them, is not going to help their cause. Disney + Hulu bundle is going to be bad news for Netflix

Supposedly they bought those rights back.
