So what's the benefit of pre-ordering this thing vs just waiting for it to come out? Doesn't look like there's a price break.

It's no different than preordering anything, really.

It benefits Disney so they don't have all the people trying to subscribe all on the same day.

Omg. Flight of the navigator is on day 1

Just pre-ordered

Creating FOMO. I'll pick it up when we decide to start watching The Mandalorian

Not sure on the latest offer, but D23 one was roughly 30% off for three years.

Walt Disney Co. is banning advertising from Netflix Inc. across its entertainment TV networks, according to people familiar with the situation, a sign that the marketing wars over streaming-video are escalating as media giants battle each other for subscribers.

I've gotta add Spacecamp to this list.

Not sure if it was discussed elsewhere but here's the official Dis+ launch list.

It's hard to complain when we're get so much stuff but I'm going to point out some disappointing omissions. Hopefully they will come later.

The Mighty Ducks Trilogy:
Yes I would watch all three. The cartoon is on there and there is talk of an original series so it seems likely that it will be there eventually. I think they may be available on HBO right now so maybe Disney needs that deal to end before they can show it.

Up:
My favorite Pixar movie. Almost every other Pixar movie is there.

MCU:
I think we knew that the MCU would be a slower release but it's very light to start. I think only 6/23.

Remember the Titans:
Edited: it is on the list.

I was a bit surprised on that one too. Looks like it's currently airing on Starz, so maybe they have to wait for that one to expire.

What do you mean? It's on the list.

There is so much on Disney + that I want to watch, I can't even pretend to care about omissions at this point.

Yeah I'm actually really impressed with the rollout of the classic live-action films. I wasn't sure if they would have those included or not. Really cool they have most of them on there. Wish they had included The North Avenue Irregulars, and hope it wasn't left off due to religious concerns.

But I grew up on so many of those, so it's great to have them all in one place on high def...some of them are even hard to find on dvd these days.

My bad... I see it now....
For some reason I thought it came out in 01.

I was surprised there isn't more TV shows on there from before the 1980s such as The Wonderful World of Disney.
Something I'm not surprised is omitted is The Song of the South

Did WW of Disney have original content for the show, or was it movies that were a few years older that it showed? So maybe some of the content that was shown on it, is actually on the movie list? Not sure, its been a long long time. I do remember seeing Davie Crockett King of the Wild Frontier on WW of Disney, and its on the movie list.

I require that Disney+ provide me with Swamp Fox, Davy Crockett and The Black Cauldron.

I think this could be a big hit today on a streaming platform

Unless I've missed something, it doesn't look like the old Mickey Mouse cartoons or Silly Symphonies are included. I really hope they will include those in the future if that is the case.

So in for this.

The most important question

Will darkwing duck, gargoyles, talespin, and chip and dale RR be on Disney +?

It looks like Even Stevens is on there, so a whole new generation can now be exposed to the pinnacle of Shia LaBeouf's career.

I'm a little surprised there hasn't been any discussion about the fact you can download titles for offline viewing. I remember some people doubted that in a previous thread.

That is going to make traveling with kids at least somewhat less unbearable...

Wow first I've heard about that. Disney is seriously upping the game with this thing.

To me, that's more of a bare minimum thing than upping the game. Yeah, it's good. But Netflix has had that feature for years. Disney not offering downloads would've been more of a story.

I bet less than 20% of Netflix stuff is available for download. I think they've only had that feature for a few years.

Will content always be available or will it come and go like netflicks?

Since Disney is the original copyright owner, I'd hope it all stays. I think they're doing away with the Disney Vault now that Disney+ will be going live.
