Ok, nothing enticing about those announcements. Really marketed towards kids. Very family entertainment orientated shows. If I was unsure to get Disney+ when it was announced this week; it has now sealed my decision. I’ll pass, thank u, next.
As opposed to Disney’s usual gritty drama series.
Maybe just wait until the final product is launched. It’s still 6 months away
LOL what did you expect? It’s disney.
The trailer for The Mandalorian look great and not overly kid friendly but be real you aren’t going to be getting Stranger Things or Haunting of Hill House or even something like Orange is the new black on Disney+ that’s not what Disney do.
But there will be adult oriented programs provided by Marvel/Lucasfilm and Disney’s movies are pretty wide skewing.
Is that such a bad thing? Quite a good market to target IMO.
I have no issues with this targeting this kids isn’t that the whole point that It’s focus is on there. ?
Given it’s only a six months away I’m sure there will be more stuff announced .
Reports that Disney Plus will
Allow subscribers to stream up to four devices at the same time, set up seven different user profiles and watch super high definition, 4K videos at no extra cost.
Release new episodes of its original series weekly, rather than releasing an entire season at once,
Why do people keep saying “6 months away?”
It launches here in November, just under 3 months.
There are a lot of shows targeted at kids that, for some reason, mostly grown men watch
Lol what, Lizzy McGuire and High School Musical hehe?!
As others have mentioned, if Hulu can be packaged, it would’ve been a very attractive offer. I don’t think Marvel or Star Wars would be enough to part my $8.99/mo unless they offer 2-3 months of free subscription, then I might be tempted.
They need to start releasing ‘mature’ films again (i.e.) the old Touchstone et al. labels.
The Rock, Con Air, Face/Off, The Sixth Sense, etc were all action faves and box office hits!
Hopefully they’ll use their now 20C Fox subsidiary for them (M, MA, R)?
That’s stupid.
I disagree.
It creates a longer period of talking points.
Is anyone still talking about Stranger Things S3? It only came out very recently.
This way, we will still be talking about Disney+ shows many weeks later.
I don’t mind the Hulu (and probably others) approach of dropping the first three episodes of a show then doing the rest week to week. Seems like a good balance.
Some shows work better week to week and others better to binge.
Does it really matter if chatter has ended when chatter begins on another show a week later?
I think with streaming it works best for a viewer as they have the option to binge. I think the adding episodes weekly is just a turn off for a viewer. It is for me. But then Disney isn’t something I would be getting anyway.
So… a TV show musical of a high school musical of a movie musical of a high school musical called High School Musical… 
That is one of the issues of dropping an entire series all at once, a few weeks later, the world has moved on and people (subscribers) want other new content which is costly to make especially in this day and age of quality expectation.
