Back when Disney+ launched in 2019, one of the main ways to search for new content was through the five “core brands” which were and still are present on the homepage, those brands are Disney, Pixar, Marvel, Star Wars and National Geographic with the brand Star coming later to markets outside the US and Latin […]
One of Disney+’s most underappreciated features has always been the content “Collections” within the search page. Since its launch, Disney has added multiple collections to Disney+ including the likes of “Celebrate Black Stories”, “Diary Of A Wimpy Kid”, and “Female Leads”, but there are many more collections that Disney could add to Disney+, so I’m […]
When Disney recently announced their intentions to integrate a new cheaper ad-supported tier, which garnered a mixed response from Disney fans. I think this is a good option and helps people with lower incomes afford great entertainment, so I thought I’d write a piece that would discuss the positives and negatives of offering such a […]
Disney has had a mixed experience with video games and making successful video game franchises. Disney is one of the largest entertainment empires. In recent years we’ve seen them exit the video game industry, which is one of the fastest-growing industries in the world, and Disney has gone on to licence their IPs to companies […]
Back in 2019, more specifically the day Disney+ launched in the US, Canada and The Netherlands, Pixar released one of the first shorts in its new “Sparkshorts” program. This short was titled “Float” and is inspired by the writer/director Bobby Alcid Rubio’s experience as the father of an autistic child. What Is “Float” About? “Float” […]
Over the years, Netflix has mastered dubbing its content in dozens of languages before releasing them globally on the same day (mostly). Disney+ came onto the scene back in 2019 and became a tremendous competitor with the span of a single day. However, one thing Disney+ has struggled with is dubbing its content, and today […]
Ever since Disney+ was first announced, Disney marketed the service as the “Disney Vault Unlocked”, but that is far from the case three years later. Over 800 films and series are missing from Disney+, but it’s not just a case of Disney grabbing a DVD or VHS and copying it into Disney+. If you’ve wondered […]
Back in 2019, mere weeks before Disney had finalised its acquisition of 21st Century Fox, the former independent studio released a film adaption of the manga Gunnm, titled “Alita Battle Angel”. When “Alita Battle Angel” was released, the film came out to mixed reviews but has quickly gone on to become a cult classic, so […]
Disney+ came out of the gates with a massive bang in 2019, gaining 10 Million subscribers within the first day when it launched in the US, Canada and The Netherlands. Disney+ has produced a slew of original programming since its launch with hit shows like Star Wars series “The Mandalorian” and “The Book Of Boba […]
Pixar’s Sparkshorts program has given us some gems since it started being released in 2019, and my personal favourite short so far has been Erica Milsom’s wonderful short “Loop”, which follows Renee (a non-verbal autistic girl) and Marcus, which was released in January of 2020, let me explain. Back in 2011, at the age of […]
In 2020 we saw the #DisneyAdaptPercyJackson social media campaign spearheaded by the author and creator of “Percy Jackson”, Rick Riordan and his wife, Beck Riordan. As we now know, Disney is very close to giving “Percy Jackson” an official greenlight. Now, why is this being mentioned? Well, Disney+ has very few fantasy series. There has […]
The term “Netflix Killer” has been thrown around ever since Netflix launched its streaming service, but the use of the term kicked up in November of 2019 with the launch of Disney+. Two years later, Netflix is bigger than ever and whilst Disney+ is quickly catching up internationally. But recently, in the US, Disney+ seems […]
Disney has adapted many books over the years, including the likes of “Artemis Fowl”, “The Mysterious Benedict Society”, “Peter Pan” and recently “Just Beyond”. But with Disney having a new thirst for content to fill Disney+, Disney has recently announced adaptions of Disney Publishing Worldwide titles, including “Sal & Gabi Break The Universe” and the […]
Disney+ launched in select European countries, including the UK, on March 24th 2020, almost a year later, on February 23rd 2021, Disney+ launched the sixth brand tile, “Star”, in many countries, including the UK, but now, the UK list is seemingly only made up of National Geographic shows and things tossed under Star. Let me […]
Disney+ is now mostly worldwide and operates in places like parts of Europe, North and South America, Australia, New Zealand and parts of Asia. With Disney+ operating in so many countries, they need to produce local content to appeal to those markets so, why not dub them and roll those shows out internationally? Let me […]
